From your scent profile
Clive Christian No. 1 for Women is a classic-leaning feminine scent that moves from a fruity opening through a floral, powdery heart into a sweet, creamy base.
Skunky's take: The votes point to evening; dressed for a nice dinner.

Peach, apricot, pineapple and bergamot give the top a bright, fruity feel, while cardamom and bell pepper add a spicy edge. Jasmine, rose, iris and ylang-ylang form the floral heart. Vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and amber sweeten and soften the base, leaving a warm, woody finish.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters suggest fall and spring, and it suits evenings and nights out best. It reads feminine and classic. Montana Suggestion Eau Cuivrée and Tristano Onofri Solo Tu have a close profile.
