The best perfume that I have ever smelled... Leather, tobacco are dominating. Like the best quality cigar's fume with spices and very light our and rose... :) it is amazing!!!

One year later.
Tuscan Leather and C Men are, at casual acquaintance, the same for the first 5 hours.

C Men grows more addictive. Tuscan Leather less.
In all ways, other than price, C Men is much better.
Tuscan Leather is very expensive C Men an extortionate bargain.

NevilleM has the notes down cold, and while there are comparisons between this and Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, simply put they are NOT the same thing. Not even the same composition other than the core leather notes and a couple of surrounding elements.

C has a lot going on at once. I'll admit my own hesitancy at the price, but the proof is right there in the bottle. The strength and longevity on C is incredible! There is also much more complexity, so those subtle nuances such as the rose and raspberry in the heart and the tobacco and oudh in the base are far more captivating than even Tuscan Leather. And yes, this is also a pure perfume. Granted you could purchase almost 5 times as much of the Tom Ford as the Clive Christian, that isn't quite the point. When you can smell them side-by-side, you'll truly be able to distinguish which is which.

Tuscan Leather is a fantastic fragrance without question. While there are similarities, C is definitely not the same fragrance. Where Tuscan Leather is a great daily wearer, C is that special occasion fragrance with that x-factor that breaks the envelope.

I really have shocked when i smell it...shame on Clive christian brand to try to copy other fragrance trend. It is identical to Tom Ford Tuscan leather...very strange. If they can't invent something new , why they go in this dirction?? I can buy Tuscan leather and it is much cheaper.

Definitely a Parfum! Its scent can fill a room with just a small spritz the size of a dime.

Alas, it must be my head cold, because I was intrigued, but irritated by it. All I kept smelling was a field of flowers smothered in jam set before a funeral pyre! I also got the association with Tom Ford's Italian Cypress, but much more dark and without the disco vibe I get with Tom Ford's creation. Gonna give it another try next time because my nose was picking up such a kray-kray combination. In a way, I kinda consider it a goth-like scent.

**EDIT** Head cold gone now, and I would consider this for a purchase for its longevity and the smell of great quality in its opening and middle notes. Big HOWEVER, though. As you get into the final stages of the scent, it goes a bit flat, and starts smelling synthetic like that of Paco Rabanne One Million. I do like One Million, but hey, if I'm gonna spend close to $400 on a bottle, it's gotta win me all the way. Would consider a purchase of C if I can find it in a smaller tester or travel bottle for cheaper.

C for Men
50ml Parfum

Top Notes: white thyme, tea, green leaves, lemon, mate, elemi (resin with honey like, grassy, minty aroma), mandarin

Heart Notes: Jasmine, rose, cardamon, raspberry, cinnamon, clove, cistus (rock rose), saffron, orris,

Base Notes: oudh, amber, cedarwood, tobacco absolute, musk, vanilla, leather, cypress, treemoss, styrax, costus (snow lotus), tonka bean, olibanum (frankincense), guaiacwood

The instant I smelt this I knew it was something special. After the initial top notes it isn't long before meeting the predominant characteristics of what I'd describe as raspberries wrapped in an expensive tobacco. Longevity is huge, maybe due to it being a parfum strength. So good, so complex, so expensive - I may have to consider buying even at this price.
