The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by Clive Christian, Contemporary is an aromatic fougère designed to blend the fresh and spicy with earthy depth. Perfumer Angela Stavrevska has crafted a scent that opens with the vibrant freshness of geranium and blackberry, before transitioning into a heart of violet and nutmeg. The base notes of cedar, moss, and malt create a warm, powdery foundation that grounds the composition in rich, woody tones.
One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of Contemporary. The geranium and blackberry notes will make a strong first impression, while the base notes gradually unfold over several hours, making it ideal for daytime wear.
