More about Clive Christian X For Men
X For Men by Clive Christian is an Oriental Fougere fragrance for men, launched in 2001. It features a blend of luxurious ingredients that evokes a sense of sophistication and elegance. It opens on bergamot, pineapple and rhubarb top notes, a fruity and slightly tart opening. The heart notes bring iris, jasmine and paprika, adding a powdery floral touch and a warm spicy note. The base notes are rich: amber, cinnamon, French labdanum, oakmoss, styrax, vanilla, vetiver and Virginia cedar. Together they give Clive Christian X For Men a woody, amber and warm spicy character with earthy and sweet touches. Winter and fall are its seasons, and night is the most popular time, with evening a close second. It is a warm, slightly powdery amber woody scent for a man who wants polish in the cold months.
