About This Perfume
Think Sweet fruit cocktail, caramel-vanilla warmth: that is Clive Christian Cosmos Flower. It opens with apple, mandarin orange and rum, moves into ylang-ylang, jasmine and osmanthus and settles on caramel, benzoin and amber. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This fragrance is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for date nights and nights out. Released in 2016.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: floral is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $610.

Clive Christian is a British luxury perfume house that carries the lineage of the Crown Perfumery Company (est. 1872), the historic British perfumer whose royal warrant and heraldic bottle design (the "V" for Victoria on the crown-topped flacon) Clive Christian revived in 1999. The house is widely referenced as maker of some of the world's most expensive perfumes. The 19 live pieces on Scendira average .08, mix genders (8 feminine / 5 unisex / 4 masculine), and skew Fresh (6) and Gourmand (5). Prices span $8.95 (sample) to $790 (avg $470). Standout live pieces: 1872 For Men ($390,.32, fresh citrus and herbs with woody cedar; the 1872 name references the Crown Perfumery founding), Amberwood ($610,.25, creamy tobacco, sage and sweet woods), E Cashmere Musk ($430,.22, fresh bergamot and ginger over soft cashmere musk), Iconic Masculine ($500,.21, bright citrus and juniper with cedar warmth) and Town & Country ($500,.18, fresh bergamot and lemon breeze with cedar).
