The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017 and crafted by perfumer Angela Stavrevska, L for Women Floral Chypre With Rich Patchouli by Clive Christian marries the freshness of floral top notes with a deep, earthy patchouli base. The fragrance opens with a bouquet of flowers that give way to the rich, velvety notes of rose and jasmine sambac in the heart. It settles into a warm, woody base that is anchored by the rich, grounding presence of patchouli. This composition embodies the brand's commitment to luxury and tradition, blending classic floral chypre elements with a modern twist.

How to wear it

This fragrance is best applied sparingly — a light spritz on pulse points allows the patchouli base to develop gradually. It's particularly suited for cooler evenings when the earthy warmth can be fully appreciated without overpowering.
