The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, X Twist Sichuan Pepper by Clive Christian is a fresh spicy chypre that bridges the gap between unexpected notes and traditional elegance. The scent opens with the sharp bite of Sichuan pepper, which contrasts beautifully against the warmth of ginger and vanilla. As it develops, peach and jasmine add a fruity and floral touch, while lily-of-the-valley brings a delicate sweetness. The base of musk provides a powdery finish that keeps the composition grounded.
Apply one or two sprays — the fresh spicy notes are vibrant and long-lasting. This fragrance stays close to skin rather than projecting strongly across a room, making it perfect for daytime wear.
