Clive Christian BLONDE AMBER Sample 2ML

Blonde Amber is a luxurious unisex Eau de Parfum launched in 2022 by Clive Christian, a British luxury perfume house renowned for its opulent, bespoke fragrances. The house traces its roots to the 18th century, when it acquired the original Crown Perfumery, which supplied scents to British royalty, including Queen Victoria. Today, Clive Christian is celebrated for its extravagant bottles (often adorned with crystals or gold) and complex formulations, positioning itself as the pinnacle of "status" perfumery—think scents that evoke old-world decadence with modern sophistication. Blonde Amber belongs to the brand's Noble XXI Collection, specifically the Art Deco sub-line, which draws inspiration from the roaring 1920s era of jazz, glamour, and geometric extravagance. The fragrance pays homage to amber as a key Art Deco design material—warm, resinous, and multifaceted—like the lacquered woods and gilded accents of that period's architecture and jewelry.

Crafted by master perfumer Julie Pluchet (with contributions from the house's in-house team), Blonde Amber boasts an astonishing 219 ingredients, making it one of the most intricate compositions in contemporary perfumery. It's designed as a "tale of Art Deco opulence," blending historical elegance with bold, sensory indulgence. Priced at around $600 for a 50ml bottle, it's marketed for special occasions, appealing to those who appreciate scents that unfold like a narrative—layered, transformative, and unapologetically lavish. Reviews often hail it as a "masterpiece" for its depth, though some note its initial chaos requires patience to appreciate. It's versatile for fall/winter wear, with beast-mode longevity (up to 12-14 hours) and strong sillage that commands a room.
