The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016, X Twist Saffron by Clive Christian is crafted by perfumer Angela Stavrevska and represents the brand's commitment to luxury and tradition. The fragrance opens with the zesty brightness of pink pepper and ginger, giving way to a heart of saffron that brings an unexpected warmth and complexity. Set against a base of sandalwood and musk, X Twist Saffron balances spicy vibrancy with woody depth, creating a scent that is both intriguing and comforting.
Apply two sprays to the pulse points — this fragrance blooms gradually, and the spicy notes will give way to a deeper woody base over time. It’s best enjoyed close to skin rather than across a room, so layer it for a more intimate experience.
