Clive Christian ~ new Twist fragrances

Posted by Robin on 14 May 2018 5 Comments

Luxury niche line Clive Christian has launched six new fragrances in their Twist collection of flankers (and see also: 1872 Twist Jasmine and 1872 Twist Geranium).

1872 Twist Tarocco Orange ~ "Drawing on the energetic and effervescent citrus top notes of the original 1872. Sparkling lemon and bitter sweet tarocco orange tingle with warming ginger. Orange blossom petals drift into elegant lily of the valley before melting into a base of creamy sandalwood. A sophisticated fruity oral capturing the crisp freshness of the original 1872 feminine with an energetic burst of tarocco orange." £250 for 50 ml at Fortnum & Mason.

1872 Twist Basil ~ "Highlights the aromatic and green herb house accents found in 1872. Herbaceous basil and sweet green mint complement dry black pepper and spicy nutmeg. Clary sage in the heart carefully unfolds into a base of earthy orris and warm woods.A woody citrus with the cool and smooth cologne facets of the original 1872 masculine are heightened by sweet green and aromatic basil." £250 for 50 ml at Fortnum & Mason.

X Twist Mate Tea ~ "Preserving the unique chypre character but with deeper, greener smokier tones. Fresh green leaves blend with the smoky mate tea (pronounced ma-tay tea) and weave mysteriously around sensual jasmine. A heady dose of tuberose is sweetened by honey with powdery soft musk in the base. A green chypre with classic aphrodisiacal orals. A darker and beguiling take on the oozing sensuality of the original X feminine perfume." £250 for 50 ml at Harrods.

X Twist Patchouli ~ "Enhancing the unmistakable richness and warmth of X with a hint of aromatic smoke. Spicy top notes of cinnamon and clove complement a deep a base of patchouli, smoky vetiver and green moss. A hint of subtle sensual Egyptian jasmine and hot pimento pepper excite this perfume its descent towards a rich oud base. A woody oriental that accentuates the classic masculine sensibility of the original X masculine perfume with heightened rich and incense smoked patchouli." £250 for 50 ml at Harrods.

X Twist Sichuan Pepper ~ "Inspired by the citrus top notes of X with a ery kick. Warming sichuan pepper and ery ginger add an aromatic glow to creamy jasmine and soft muguet. Juicy fruit tones from peach muddle with sweet vanilla and sensual musk. A spicy chypre with heat and drama, enhancing the passion and sensuality of the original X feminine perfume." £295 for 50 ml at Selfridges.

X Twist Liquorice ~ "An ampli ed [sic] rose tone with a spring of fresh green notes. Sweet geranium and sparkling grapefruit are warm against fresh, woody petitgrain and herbaceous cypress.A base of smoky vetiver and dry woods unravels for a profound nish to this perfume. A botanical explosion against cool woods in homage to the original1872 masculine with a nuance of sweet green leafed geranium." £295 for 50 ml at Selfridges.

    It looks like ‘The Worlds [sic] Costliest Perfume’ house is hard-pressed to afford a good copy editor.

      Ha! But “A green chypre with classic aphrodisiacal orals” cannot have come cheap.

    Last week in a luxury niche perfumery in my city: Two guys walk in, loud and expansive, one calls: “I want something exclusive!” – Guess what brand the shop assistant lead them to?

    That said, my SOTD are the last drops of my X Tabac sample, and I enjoy it a lot.
