Elegance of the past... !
Hello everyone,
this evening at a late hour, I would like to say something about the "Original Collection - X: The Feminine Perfume of the Perfect Pair / X for Women | Clive Christian".
Considering that you've been around for over 20 years = respect! (That's just by the way!)
When I saw the fragrance pyramid - I immediately had 1,2 thoughts or even 3.
Option 1: Either it is a wildly thrown together mix in a rather unattractive way.
Option 2: When I see lots of notes + peach ... i have to think of Roja..
Option 3: It is timeless AWESOME in the style of Chanel and Guerlain.
(Such an old school classic!)
Resolution - a little of number 2 and a LOT of number 3.
This fragrance is a little work of art. And YES, you have to want + understand this fragrance. It is quite easy to describe in terms of floral, fruity, powdery, creamy, spicy, woody. But somehow this is not (!) the fragrance and I mean that honestly.
It's so complex (seems different every 10 minutes) voluminous, engaging + insanely well balanced, BUT it's one of those fragrances that NOT EVERYONE can wear and proportionately not all the time. The fragrance has CLASS and if you wear it at home with sweatpants, then you might scratch a bit of its certain charm! (And YES, of course you can wear it at home - of course, I wouldn't, because it calls for the right stage - personal opinion)
I still have 1.2 things to say about the fragrance.
Firstly, almost 10 years ago it probably wouldn't have appealed to me as much as it does today, is it my increasing age or my increasing experience? I don't know, so I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is relatively "new" to it.
On the other hand, I recognize (possibly thanks to Roja with the peach, among other things^^) a certain unisex wearability. I know some men who really like wearing it and I don't find it unexciting either. For me, as a man, it has a very Roja chypre-like effect, which is more of a compliment.
H/S good to very good
From me a test recommendation for both sexes if necessary.
And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny
