"If you wanna hang out, You′ve gotta take her out"

If you want to hang out with Matsukita (or more), you have to take her out. She is not satisfied with any boring movie nights on the couch or lukewarm food from the local delivery service. Matsukita likes to dress elegantly, visit high-end restaurants, wander around museums, or travel the world to learn about other cultures.

The first time you met her was in a small fishing village on the Italian Riviera. There, she sat in a chic café under blooming bergamot trees, sipping a cold mate tea. Your eyes met briefly, and your interest was piqued.
You gathered all your courage and approached her. At first, she seemed disinterested, but soon a beautiful, profound conversation developed. From this conversation, you planned a joint outing for the next day. You headed to the nearby, beautiful Provence. There, you took a long walk through jasmine fields and picturesque coastal towns. Your journey led you in the evening to a nearby little forest, past tall firs and freshly cut trees. It was there that you really got to know and love her (or perhaps just the idea of her?).

Scent impression:
After a long dry spell with Clive Christian (which can be well understood based on some past and upcoming statements), this beautiful fragrance came under my nose. It opens with a naturally citrusy bergamot and refreshing mate tea. Then a fresh jasmine note unfolds, completely without indole, and a light woodiness. The drydown is characterized by a woody, fir-like freshness, freshly cut woods, and creamy musk clouds. In my view, Clive Christian has delivered a wonderful woody-floral, slightly dry modern chypre here, which never indulges in the vintage opulence of other representatives of this category.
This fragrance is listed as unisex by the manufacturer, and of course anyone can wear it, regardless of gender. For me, however, it clearly leans towards a feminine direction, without being a typical women's fragrance.

Finally, I would like to thank NeverPerfect for the testing opportunity and thank everyone who has read my text :)

Really enjoyed reading this. It sounds great, although the price 🏷 puts me off. I find the brand very overpriced.

You probably have to earn the Matsukita.. a few breadcrumbs just aren't enough with Clive ;D I would have categorized it as unisex based on the notes, but it seems to have a lot of jasmine and creamy musk in it, huh. Doesn't sound bad, especially the top note :) Enjoyed reading this.

Yeah, Clive isn't satisfied with the smaller breadcrumbs :D
I get why it's categorized as unisex, but the green tea + jasmine + musk combo makes it feel more feminine to me. I'm just more used to bolder scents ^^
