Launched in 2012 by Clive Christian, V for Women is a chypre floral fragrance that marries freshness with warmth through its complex blend of notes. Perfumer Christian Provenzano crafted this scent to evoke a sense of refined luxury and subtle complexity. The composition opens with the bright zest of bergamot and coriander, which quickly gives way to a heart of rose, jasmine, and lavender — floral notes that are softened by the honeyed warmth of amber and musk in the base. This fragrance is neither overwhelming nor understated but rather strikes a perfect balance between freshness and depth.

Application Tips
Apply V for Women to pulse points for maximum longevity. The spicy top notes fade within two hours but leave behind a warm amber-musk base that lasts throughout the day. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear, where its balance of freshness and depth can be appreciated without overpowering.
