No.1

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Clive Christian No.1

This No.1 leans into the fruity floral side of the composition, and our version keeps that feel: a distinctly fruity opening, an orchid and rose heart, and a warm ambery base.

The Story Behind the Scent

This expression of Clive Christian’s No.1 leans into the fruity floral side of the composition, opening with mirabelle plum, pineapple and plum before the floral heart and oriental base develop. It shares the same crown topped bottle and artisanal small batch production as the classic No.1, with a slightly different note focus.

Tropical fruit accents pair with orchid and rose in the heart before the signature amber, musk and vanilla drydown closes it. Our interpretation respects that luxurious fruity floral character and delivers it at a high concentration for a fraction of the price.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a luxury eau de parfum sold at extreme pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves an opulent fruity floral and wants a luxury style scent without the luxury price.

Common Questions

How close is it to Clive Christian No.1?

It stays close to the luxurious fruity floral character of the original. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

How can it cost so much less than Clive Christian No.1?

Most of the price of a luxury fragrance goes to the brand name, packaging and retail markup rather than the liquid itself. We put our budget into the scent and sell direct, so you get a comparable experience for a fraction of the price.

Is this the same perfume as Clive Christian No.1?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style at a much lower price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It is unisex but leans feminine, and is made for evenings and special occasions.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
