Wanting to push the parameters of what is acceptable, Clive Christian turned his creative design to having a fragrance for the night. No. 1 was created with passion. It has great personality; it is refined and without question highly distinctive and original. It is a perfume which stands out from the crowd; it is the fragrance of ultimate luxury.Β Starting with intensely green herbal notes of bergamot, lime and mandarin, No. 1 for men soon plunges into a carnal world of cardamom-spiced rich vanilla, amber and Mysore Indian sandalwood. Fresh yet rich, clean yet indolic, No. 1 for Men's mandarin-tinged florals Γ―ΒΏΒ½ rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang float atop a second layer of rich base notes like a perfume version of hydroponics. Although categorized as an Oriental Amber, there's no ignoring this perfume's aromatic freshness, aided by subtle grapefruit and artemesia and lasting into the dry down like a veil over its warmer base. Like most of Clive Christian's scents designated for men, this elixir is easily categorized as unisex.
