About This Perfume
Clive Christian XX Art Nouveau Papyrus smells like green herbal garden, cool bergamot spice. It opens with galbanum, bergamot and pink pepper, moves into lavender, ginger and green geranium and settles on cedarwood, tonka bean and papyrus. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
It works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2018.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $550.
