C for Women Clive Christian for women

Got a sample of this and love it. Santa baby....I've been a good girl.

One of the most well-blended I've ever had the pleasure to smell and wear. The florals, amber, and musk intertwine together in a heart-achingly beautiful and delicate dance, as if one were tasting some rare exotic flower lightly dipped in sugar. Jasmine and tuberose are the most apparent to my nose, but the tuberose doesn't scream for attention as it tends to do, and the jasmine never comes close to the dreaded "cat pee" acidity. So many scents try to market their scents as evoking purity and innocence, and this is the only one I've ever sniffed to nail it. Alas, like innocence C is fleeting, down to a hollow shell of her brilliant beauty within two hours.

Now what's *not* innocent in the price, and marketing your product as the world's most expensive ____ is just grounds for my snarky self to rear her snickering head, and wonder if the ingredients are composed of some poor endangered creature or if collecting said materials put the staff at risk of being shot by angry locals. No, as beautiful as C is, I don't believe it to be worth nearly the cost of a car payment. Maybe if it was 100ml instead of 50...maybe.

I had the good fortune to test this briefly yesterday. OMG, it is gorgeous. So smooth and only slightly sweet, definitely not candied to me. A lovely floral on a warm ambery woody base that oozes "quality", and one that very few other women would be wearing.

When the SA told me the price, $375, I ran away...

My experience was very different from the previous reviewer's. It is a beautiful fragrance. Worth every penny of the $375 it costs per bottle. But on me far, far too fleeting.

It's got all the pretty of big white flowers with none of the indoles. It's sweet and almost candied. Truly lovely.

This is a very great long lasting fraqrance which last until the next morning. I just tried the sample which impressed me on the long lasting amber and the musk. I am a women of color and was very excited to be able to wear a fraqrance which is for the spring and summer months for day time.
