Clive Christian Perfume X For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001. X For Women opens with Rhubarb, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Ivy, settles into a heart of Mignonette, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Clive Christian Perfume's X For Women carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive, expensive, and often compared to Gucci Rush. If you want a more refined, longer-lasting version of that iconic scent with a hefty price tag, this is your jam. Otherwise, you might find it an overpriced disappointment.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

With its strong sillage and potent nature, X for Women isn't ideal for the office. It truly shines on dates and formal occasions, where its 'grown-up' and sophisticated character can be fully appreciated.

About

An initial burst of juicy peach and bright pineapple, balanced by the tartness of rhubarb and bergamot, leading to a sophisticated heart of powdery orris and delicate white florals. The base settles into a warm, earthy blend of patchouli, musky cedar, and a hint of vanilla, creating a sensual and complex aroma with a distinct chypre character.
