About Clive Christian

Clive Christian is a British luxury perfume house with origins tracing back to Crown Perfumery in 1872 — granted the right to bear Queen Victoria's crown on its bottles. The house was acquired and re-launched as Clive Christian in 1999, and is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious names in modern luxury perfumery. X for Men launched in 2001 as one of the brand's flagship masculine pillars.

Character

X for Men opens with an unusual, slightly tart contrast of rhubarb, pineapple and bergamot — fresh but with an edge of complexity. The heart unfolds into a powdery-spicy mid of iris, paprika and jasmine, lending the composition its refined, slightly mysterious character. The dry-down settles into a deeply warm base of cedar, cinnamon, amber, vetiver and labdanum, with French labdanum and vanilla giving the fragrance its rich, resinous finish. Confident, characterful and unmistakably luxury.

Who it's for

This is a fragrance for men who appreciate true luxury perfumery and want something distinctive in their fragrance wardrobe — particularly fans of refined spicy-woody compositions, British heritage perfume houses and statement scents with serious depth. It's a strong choice for special occasions, evenings, business wear and date nights.

How to wear it

1. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after showering for the longest wear
2. Spray onto pulse points — inner wrists, neck and chest
3. One or two sprays is usually plenty; this is a richly concentrated EDP with strong projection
4. Avoid rubbing wrists together to preserve the unusual rhubarb-pineapple opening
5. Layer with an unscented body lotion in cooler months to deepen the resinous base
