The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Clive Christian, Chasing the Dragon Hypnotic is a fragrance that marries warmth and depth. Perfumer Angela Stavrevska crafts an aromatic spicy composition anchored by cinnamon, cherry, and nutty accords, creating a scent that feels both richly indulgent and subtly intriguing. The brand's tradition of luxury and excellence in perfumery comes through in this complex blend, where the sweet and spicy notes dance with each other to create a captivating olfactory experience.
For best results, apply this fragrance to pulse points and let it settle for about five minutes. The spicy notes will open up quickly, while the sweet and nutty base takes a bit longer to develop. This scent is better suited for cooler evenings or indoor settings where its rich warmth can be fully appreciated.
