About This Perfume
Think powdery floral rose over smoky leather: that is Clive Christian V for Women. It opens with chamomile, coriander and bergamot, moves into pepper, rose and jasmine and settles on oakmoss, olibanum and patchouli. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This perfume oil is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out. Released in 2012.
Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects strongly and fills a room.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and grounded for nights out.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike floral fragrances.
Around $9.

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).
