What Does V Amber Fougere by Clive Christian Smell Like?

The opening is vibrant and peppery. Black, white and pink pepper create a sparkling, multi-faceted spice while elemi adds a zesty, resinous brightness and fir balsam brings a sweet, forest-like depth. Bergamot keeps the whole thing lifted and fresh. It smells like energy in a bottle. The heart deepens with frankincense, rich and earthy with its ancient resinous character, joined by lavender and orris for a smooth, powdery elegance that nods to classic fougere tradition. In the base, dry ambers and smoky vetiver create a warm, grounded warmth while cedarwood adds dry structure. The finish is masculine and assured, spice and resin settling into lasting warmth.
