Clive Christian Perfume X For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001, created by Geza Schoen. X For Men opens with Rhubarb, Bergamot, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Pimiento, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Clive Christian Perfume's X For Men carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive, opulent, and unequivocally mature - X for Men isn't for everyone, but those who 'get' it hail it as a masterpiece of spicy woods and refined masculinity. Others find it smells like an old man's spice rack or even anchovies.

About

Opens with a fleeting flash of pineapple and bergamot before settling into a deep, commanding presence of rich cinnamon and earthy rhubarb. The heart introduces a surprising softness with iris and jasmine, preventing it from becoming too harsh, as it transitions into a complex, lingering base of vetiver, mossy oak, and warm amber, rounded out by hints of vanilla and cedar. It's a journey from vibrant spice to sophisticated, woody richness.
