I first became acquainted with Clive Christian’s fragrances years ago, when a friend gifted me 1872 for my birthday. I was instantly fascinated by the house of Clive Christian. That’s why I’d like to suggest giving Clive Christian No. 1 this Mother’s Day.
A scent like no other, it celebrates the elegance, strength, and grace of motherhood. Revered as one of the world’s most luxurious perfumes, No. 1 is more than a fragrance—it’s an experience, a keepsake, and a statement of timeless beauty. It remains one of my all-time favorites.
Clive Christian Perfume has a storied history that began long before the modern bottle. The brand’s legacy dates back to 1872 with the founding of the Crown Perfumery Company in London. This distinguished house was granted the honor of using Queen Victoria’s crown on its bottles—a symbol of royal approval and unmatched quality. In 1999, British designer Clive Christian acquired the dormant Crown Perfumery and set out to restore its former prestige. He ushered in a new era with the Original Collection, which included the legendary No. 1 fragrance—soon to be known as the world’s most expensive perfume.
Clive Christian No. 1 Feminine lives up to its iconic status. A radiant and complex fragrance composed of 248 ingredients, it opens with a sparkling blend of mirabelle plum, white peach, and bergamot. At its heart, a floral bouquet of jasmine, rose, and carnation blooms into a rich and romantic profile. The base—creamy Madagascan vanilla layered with amber and musk—delivers warmth and longevity, enveloping the skin in opulence for hours.
Loved by fragrance connoisseurs and celebrities alike, No. 1 Feminine is a true symbol of refinement. Its exquisite crystal-cut bottle, topped with a gold crown stopper, adds a regal finish to an already lavish scent. Gifting this perfume is like giving a jewel—one that can be worn, remembered, and cherished.
Since its inception, the house of Clive Christian has created 89 distinctive fragrances—offering a world of choice for every taste and occasion.
This Mother’s Day, honor the extraordinary women in your life with a fragrance that reflects their essence. Clive Christian No. 1 Feminine is not just a scent—it’s a tribute.
Happy Mother’s Day!
