The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Clive Christian and crafted by perfumer Mike Parrot, No. 1 Twist Chamomile is a sophisticated Oriental Floral scent that seamlessly blends freshness with warmth. The fragrance opens with the bright zest of lime and nutmeg, giving way to a heart of chamomile, ylang-ylang, rose, and jasmine. This floral bouquet adds a soft, powdery touch before settling into a base of vanilla, sandalwood, and cedar. The result is a nuanced composition that feels both comforting and uplifting.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for optimal longevity. The fresh spicy notes fade within an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain that initial brightness. The woody base notes are more persistent, ensuring a lasting presence throughout the day.
