The Story

Launched in 2016, No. 1 Twist Violet by Clive Christian is an Oriental Floral fragrance that blends powdery and woody notes with a distinct violet character. Perfumer Mike Parrot crafted this composition to evoke the richness of traditional fragrances while adding a modern twist. The scent opens with plum and fruits, leading into a heart of jasmine and rose before settling on a base of sandalwood, vanilla, and cedar. This fragrance is as much about its depth and complexity as it is about its distinctive violet note.

Application Tips

No. 1 Twist Violet has a long-lasting base that blooms over time, so apply it close to your pulse points for maximum impact. The fruity top notes dissipate quickly, but the warm vanilla and woody undertones remain throughout the day.

The story behind the bottle.

The quiet sophistication of a dimly lit study, where the scent of rich woods and sweet florals intertwine with the subtle hint of violet.
