Throne-stealer
It definitely has the same DNA as other Addictive Arts releases. It reminds me a lot of Hedonistic and Ecstatic. It opens with a bright orange chocolate note that’s slightly floral as well, which makes it extremely pleasant. As it dries down, it becomes more gourmand and sweeter. The perfume is honestly very good. It’s well rounded with excellent longevity and projection, just like the other Clives. What surprised me is that I barely get the coffee note. Instead I mostly get chocolate, orange, and that Addictive Arts fusion. It’s a head turner for sure, and in my opinion, it’s even better than Hedonistic.

A disappointment
I got a sample of this when I ordered town & Country directly from clive christian & I have to say as a fan of clive christian I'm disappointed. This is very feminine on me I don't see it as unisex. It's very floral & later on goes abit creamy. I fail to see similarities to hedonistic which is one of my favourite fragrances of all time. I don't get coffee or chocolate notes at all. Overall I think this would be nice for a mature woman but it's definitely not for me. I can't give the fragrance a rating as it wouldn't be fair. For me it's completely feminine & therefore not possible for me to score

A Brother from another mother
It's really nice.
Coffee scents aren't really my thing, but here you almost have to search for the coffee, it's so subtle.
It has that typically classic DNA that generally reminds me of Clive Christian.
While it's not directly similar to Hedonistic, it is crafted in such a way that they seem like half-brothers (if that makes any sense). It's hard to put into words. The scent is slightly floral (though 'floral' would be an exaggeration), possesses an incredibly wonderful depth in its profile, and is also pleasantly creamy and very elegant. Fantastic drydown!

Thanks to Ataullah for the souk, it worked out great!

Sweet Coffee the Trend?
The new Clive Christian hits hard. Warning: This thing is sweet, really sweet. But that doesn't scare me off - I also like to wear Moonlight by Pana Dora, so I'm pain-free in that regard.
You can immediately tell that it caters to modern trends. The orange blossom is loud, and yes, there’s also that typical, artificial Ambroxan note. It might sound off-putting at first, but it’s actually implemented really well here and doesn’t annoy. It simply has that modern "In-Your-Face" character that performs well.
At its core, you get full-on gourmand coffee. If you like it sweet, loud, and trendy, this is the right choice for you. I like it.

From three scents, make one...
Today my sample of the fragrance arrived and I was super curious. There have already been several videos, reviews, and statements about this scent, but I obviously wanted to form my own opinion.

Right upon spraying, I understood the comparisons to Blonde Amber, Hedonistic, and Ecstatic. It really does smell as if Clive Christian simply mixed all three fragrances together. The fragrance note Addictive Fusion already suggests that the two scents were just blended. At least that's what you can smell right away. Personally, I don't really like Ecstatic that much, and it smells a bit more like that fragrance.

After the opening, I perceive a mix of Ecstatic and Blonde Amber. This gourmand sweetness from Blonde Amber and the floral creaminess from Ecstatic are perfectly fused. It's a pity that the wonderful cherry from Hedonistic doesn't stand out here as much. Otherwise, the scent would be almost perfect for me.

So I unfortunately miss something, or it doesn't quite meet what I hoped for from the fragrance.

The longevity and sillage are okay but also not outstanding, though it doesn't have to be. The fragrance house and this scent are more focused on subtle fragrances, and that's a good thing. The scent can also impress without being a showstopper, and despite not liking it 100%, it is a lovely rounded fragrance that perfectly combines gourmand sweetness with floral notes.

Incredibly well blended and balanced notes of coffee, florals, cocoa makes this concotion alluring. its bubbly and youthful. Femme leaning.

Ecstatic trademark with a beautiful cocoa, not sugary, really amazing scent. I can’t perceive coffee (fortunately!)

Smells to me like a mix of
the already known scents Hedonistic, Ecstatic &
the orange-chocolate-vanilla combo from Symphonium.
MEGA!!

For me, unfortunately, a disappointing experience. Overwhelmingly floral, dense and synthetically sweet, with a hint of burnt caramel. *

The bottle and scent perfectly capture the kitschy, exhausting theme. Personally, it's too synthetic and overwhelming for me.

Beautiful synthetic bomb, with orange blossom standing out especially; at least on my skin. Nice, but not a candidate for purchase.

Still unsure. I was able to test it in London. Good but somehow below expectations. There are nicer chocolate coffee scents.

Dark and sweet, also beautifully floral in the dry down. The chocolate doesn't come through (thankfully) as strongly. Better than Symphonium.

Super beautiful Clive Christian DNA. A very lovely coffee scent! Similarities to Blonde Amber as it develops.

Out of the Blue reminds me of Manhattan Bond No. 9 with its honey-dipped fruity note, but it feels spicier, darker & more artificial.
