X for Men by Clive Christian
Launch Year: 2001
Perfumer: Geza Schoen
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Fragrance Profile:
X for Men opens with a bright burst of bergamot, ginger, and pink pepper, introducing a spicy, vibrant top. It then evolves into a heart of cinnamon, orris root, violet and jasmine, which blend into a rich, powdery floral-spice core. The base is anchored by warm cedarwood, oakmoss, vetiver, amber, labdanum and vanilla, creating a robust woody-amber foundation that carries the spice and iris into a deep, male-refined finish.
Performance:
This is a high-level luxury scent with strong projection in the opening stages and excellent longevity—many users report it lasting all day and even into the next. The sillage starts bold due to the spices and iris, then settles into a more intimate but still noticeable woody-amber trail.
Ideal For:
Best suited for fall and winter evenings or formal occasions. It appeals to someone who enjoys a bold, distinctive masculine fragrance with spice-woody-amber complexity rather than a light or citrusy everyday cologne.
