One of the most beautiful modern chypre.

Overall, I find the brand far too overrated. Virtually nothing has remained in my collection from several CC fragrances I once had. Except for V for Women. That was love from first sniff. Very rich, complex and elegant. Super contrast full perfume with thousands of nuances that bloom so kaleidoscopically in front of you. Back then was a real discovery for me and so far remains one of my signature fragrances. The fragrance is similar to Beloved for Woman by Amouage, but compared to the latter it is a bit more biting and heavier. I don't know the new formulation.

Clive Christian V is a patchouli-chypre. One approach to make up for the lost moss at the heart of the classical chypre is to overdose the patchouli. It's an approach that's been done before the IFRA ever sank their claws into oakmoss. Witness the undisputed champion Clinique Aromatics Elixir.

It's simple, really. The cost/quality imbalance in perfumery is laid bare. Consider the following list of the same idea done better and costing much less:

Clinique Aromatics Elixir
Annick Goutal Mon Parfum Chérie
Aramis A 900
Histoire de Parfum Noir Patchouli
État Libre d'Orange l'Après-Midi d’une Faune
Le Labo Ylang 49 (well, somewhat less.)

Of course, as none of the above smell like Aromatics Elixir sprayed into a pissy diaper, they all have a leg up on Clive Christian V.

I'm beginning to regret all the times I said how odd it is that no one's ever really followed in the footsteps of Aromatics Elixir---that nobody’s really tried to imitate it. Bad imitation on my wrist, I'll watch my tongue in the future.
