Clive Christian’s Original Collection is where the house made its name – it’s the line that introduced No 1, X and 1872, three fragrances built without regard for cost and presented in hand-finished crystal. No 1 for Men pairs its women’s counterpart with the same headline reputation, built around 50-year-old Indian sandalwood, powdery musk and vetiver in the base. It’s understated rather than showy, favouring warmth and depth over an obvious signature.
For evenings and formal occasions where a subtle, expensive-smelling base note matters more than projection. Explore more from Clive Christian.
