No. 1 by Clive Christian is, for me, a classically styled men's fragrance with a soapy-floral, creamy character on a noble sandalwood base, brightened by citrusy and spicy nuances. The much-cited complexity of the fragrance is perceived less in clearly separable individual accords, but rather as a harmonious, elegantly balanced overall impression. I personally appreciate this type of craftsmanship very much, even if it does not seem absolutely necessary in every case for the practical application of such a men's fragrance from my perspective. Given the price level, which is no longer comprehensible to me, I cannot exceed an overall rating of 3/5 despite high recognition for the quality and composition.
