XVII Baroque Russian Coriander

The quiet intensity of an early autumn morning, where the air is crisp with dew and the earthy scent of fallen leaves mixes with the warmth of a distant bonfire.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017 by Clive Christian, XVII Baroque Russian Coriander is a fragrance that blends the crisp freshness of citrus and aromatic notes with earthy, mossy undertones and warm spices. The opening notes of lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin orange give way to the complexity of coriander and juniper, creating a dynamic interplay between bright freshness and subtle spiciness. This composition is anchored by woody and leathery bases that evoke a sense of lastingness and sophistication.

How to wear it

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, XVII Baroque Russian Coriander is best enjoyed with two sprays to the pulse points. The citrus top notes will fade within an hour, but the warm spice and woody base will linger for hours, making it perfect for cooler evenings or layered indoor settings.
