Description
A masterwork of olfactory complexity, Clive Christian Amber Fougere commands attention with 221 meticulously selected ingredients. The composition opens with a vibrant interplay of three peppers—white, black, and elemi—each contributing distinct character: white pepper's delicate warmth, black pepper's boldness, and elemi's zesty citrus notes. Fir balsam provides an invigorating top, while smoky vetiver and hand-harvested frankincense from Somalia anchor the base with profound depth. The result is a sophisticated amber fougere that balances woody resinousness with warm oriental undertones, creating a fragrance of remarkable refinement and enduring presence on the skin.
