The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015, No. 1 Imperial for Men by Clive Christian is a Woody Spicy fragrance that embodies the brand's commitment to luxury and tradition. The composition begins with a citrusy freshness, spiced up with fine notes of spices in the heart before settling into a base of precious woods and musk. This complex blend creates an atmosphere that is both warm and spicy, yet fresh and refined.
No. 1 Imperial for Men has a strong base that blooms over time, so applying it an hour before your event allows its full depth to unfold. The citrus opening is bright but fades within two hours; hence, reapply lightly if needed later in the day.
