The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Clive Christian and crafted by perfumer Mike Parrot, L for Men Woody Oriental With Deep Amber is a fragrance that seamlessly blends the warmth of amber with fresh and woody notes. The opening burst of mandarin orange and lemon introduces a bright freshness that contrasts beautifully with the deeper, spicier undertones of pepper and lavender. As it settles, oriental notes and woody accords weave together to create a rich, enveloping base that is both comforting and sophisticated.
One or two sprays to the wrists and neck are sufficient — the citrus notes will brighten for about an hour before the deeper amber and woody accords take over. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin, so apply directly to pulse points where it can warm up with your body heat.
