Clive Christian Perfume Vision in a Dream Psychedelic is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Beverley Bayne. Clive Christian Perfume's Vision in a Dream Psychedelic carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a truly divisive one. Some call it an absolute masterpiece, their signature scent, a dream; others are completely underwhelmed by a 'challenging' mix of bubblegum, dental office, and a hefty price tag that just doesn't deliver the goods. Definitely try before you buy.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its eternal longevity and strong sillage make it a bit much for the office, but perfect for making an impression on a date or at an evening event. The complex, slightly unusual profile means it's not an everyday casual grab for everyone, but its depth lends itself well to formal settings.

About

It kicks off with a vivid, almost startling burst of green from petitgrain and artemisia, a truly aromatic opening that hints at something complex. As it settles, a peculiar sweetness emerges - some get bubblegum, others a more sophisticated spice with hints of clove and cinnamon. There's a persistent earthy, slightly bitter undertone, almost incense-like, that keeps it grounded, eventually drying down to a mysterious, long-lasting green woody scent. It's a journey, not a simple sprint.
