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. X for Women opens with a juicy, almost sparkling peach accord – reviewers have compared it to a glass of fizzy citrus soda – before a rich jasmine-rose heart takes over. Rhubarb adds an unusual, tart edge, while vetiver and musk in the base pull it back toward something more grounded and sophisticated.
A fruity-floral that stands out in a market full of safer choices – worth experiencing for the peach-jasmine accord alone. Explore more from Clive Christian.
