Clive Christian Private Collection I Woody Floral

Clive Christian Private Collection I Woody Floral is a testament to haute perfumery, boasting an exceptional complexity derived from 185 meticulously sourced ingredients. This rich composition begins with a vibrant, uplifting burst of mandarin, historically revered as a symbol of good fortune, complemented by sparkling spices and sweet red fruits. This initial freshness sets the stage for a sophisticated evolution, distinguishing this fragrance as a truly unique olfactory experience.

The core of this scent is a luxurious woody floral symphony, centered around the precious essences of jasmine and muguet. The jasmine absolute, known for its intoxicating, aphrodisiacal allure, is obtained through a labor-intensive process: it takes approximately one tonne of flowers, carefully picked and processed at dawn, to yield just 1.5kg of oil. This dedication to quality ensures a rich, authentic floral signature that provides depth and longevity to the wear.

The fragrance settles into an intensely rich and earthy base, anchored by characteristically musky patchouli and a subtle, sophisticated touch of oud. The patchouli leaves are harvested before they fully mature, then fermented slightly before extraction, ensuring the highest quality essential oil. This robust foundation provides exceptional sillage and endurance, making the scent suitable for evening wear or special occasions where a powerful, long-lasting statement is desired.

The complexity ensures the scent evolves uniquely on the wearer throughout the day, offering a personalized aromatic journey.
