Today, I invite you into the fascinating world of an extraordinary fragrance. A few years ago, I stumbled upon the bottles of Clive Christian in the halls of Breuninger, which I had known from the forum here. Although I had never delved deeply into these scents before, curiosity overcame me and I carelessly sprayed Rock Rose on my skin. This moment marked the beginning of a captivating journey that surprised me from the very start. The name "Rock Rose" certainly evokes associations with its ingredients, but it does not fully reflect the scent's progression. For the fragrance surprises with an unexpected development that does not reveal the typical character of a rose. However, I will explain the exact scent progression in detail later.
As I strolled through the shops for a while longer, the scent of Rock Rose accompanied me every step of the way. The fascination this fragrance had on me was so strong that upon returning home, I immediately searched for it online. I quickly realized that this treasure came with a price - €550 for 50ml. A number that left me astonished at first. But the more I learned about the background and philosophy of the Clive Christian brand, the clearer it became to me why these fragrances have their special price. Despite the initial surprise, Rock Rose was undoubtedly one of the most extraordinary and impressive scents I have ever experienced.
But now to the actual fragrance: How did I come to it? Quite simply - I received it as a gift from my wife. Clive Christian - Noble VII - Rock Rose is undoubtedly a remarkable scent that masterfully captures the powerful and warm nuances of the rock rose. The "rock rose," also known as labdanum, gives the fragrance composition a multifaceted depth by producing both balsamic and slightly smoky as well as warm and sweet nuances.
The combination of invigorating citrus top notes, led by bergamot and a hint of black pepper, gives the fragrance a refreshing yet spicy opening. I particularly love scents that play with pepper notes, and I must admit that all the fragrances I hold in high regard possess a certain peppery note. While neroli is only subtly perceptible, it fits perfectly into the composition in my eyes.
This scent note is complemented by precious saffron and aromatic lavender. The base note of the fragrance consists of sensual amber, earthy patchouli, vetiver, and warming cocoa.
This fragrance will appeal to men who have a preference for aromatic and masculine fougère notes. It presents itself as a modern, leathery fougère fragrance that is excellent for year-round wear. Its unique scent composition gives its wearer a special aura and allows him to stand out from the crowd.
Longevity and sillage:
With a fragrance oil content of 25%, this scent is characterized by an exceptionally long-lasting presence. It unfolds over a period of more than 12 hours on the skin. Its remarkable sillage is also surprising, which, despite the high fragrance oil content, does not fall short. On the contrary, this fragrance leaves a strong impression and will definitely be noticed by others. Its presence is palpable and leaves an unmistakable scent trail.
To learn why this fragrance is named "Rock Rose" and what makes the Noble collection by Clive Christian so special, I recommend taking a look at the official Clive Christian website. There you will find a fascinating story about the era of Queen Anne, which sheds light on the background of these unique fragrances.
The bottle of Rock Rose presents itself as a true work of art. In elegant black, it features the collection's lettering as well as the name of the fragrance. The cap, which is of considerable weight and robustness, displays the crown of Queen Victoria, a symbol of the historical significance and luxury that Clive Christian embodies. The spray head is extremely precise and user-friendly.
The perfume presents an authentic, exquisite, and characterful British noble scent that gloriously interprets the classic fougère style of past eras in England.
I am thrilled and find joy in wearing it on every occasion!
