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 � 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.
