No. 1 for Women (2001)
by Clive Christian

Ok...it seems #1 is getting some negative press on this site and I must say that how this scent settles on you makes all the difference in the world. It is quite powerful upon application but once you let it dry down it's BEYOND MAGNIFICENT....at least on ME!!! This is my most prized scent and at $860 per bottle (it'll soon be going up into the THOUSANDS!) I use it only on special occasions. It has an almost "royal" smell to it...all the notes coordinate to make for one spectacular scent.

the clive christian range is what i think turin refers to when he writes that nowadays it became possible to spend so much more and get so much less.

I've now tried all of his scents several times and I am the least impressed with this one. I found it powerfully unpleasant and certainly not worth the price!

I was finally able to obtain a sample of Clive Chrisian No. 1, the most expensive perfume in the world. I found it sweet and cloying at first. It took several hours, but ultimately became soft, white-flowery, with a touch of powder. Once mellowed, I found it to be a nice, above average scent, with good lasting ability. My co-workers were less impressed. As to the price? You can find scents that will give you more pleasure for much less money.
