V for Women

by Christian Provenzano

Clive Christian Perfume V for Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Christian Provenzano. V for Women opens with Peach, Red Berries, Chamomile, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Lavender, Rose, Jasmine, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Leather, Honey, and Sandalwood. Clive Christian Perfume's V for Women carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

V by Clive Christian is a polarising beast, a dark, complex chypre that challenges expectations. It's not for the faint of heart, or those seeking a sweet floral everyday scent - expect an assertive, almost brooding character that demands attention, for better or worse.

About

Opens with an unexpected sharp, peppery blast, quickly giving way to a dominant, smoky leather and a damp, inky oakmoss presence. Subtle whispers of chamomile and a hint of fruit try to soften the edges, but the heart leans into an aromatic blend of lavender and neroli, underpinned by a deep, resinous amber and patchouli. The drydown reveals a touch of honeyed leather and earthy woods, with frankincense adding a haunting, ancient quality.
