The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019, Clive Christian's 20 Iconic Feminine is an Oriental Floral fragrance that blends warm spices with sweet and powdery notes. The composition opens with saffron, a rare and luxurious note that adds depth to the top layer. As it evolves, plum, violet, and damask rose create a rich middle accord, before settling into a base of amber and honey that reads as opulent and comforting. This fragrance captures the essence of refined elegance, drawing on Clive Christian's tradition of luxury and quality.
Apply this fragrance in layers for maximum impact — start with one spray to let it settle into your skin before adding another layer. The saffron note fades quickly, so the rich base notes will carry you through the day without needing frequent reapplications.
