Jump Up and Kiss Me Hedonistic

Clive Christian · 2017

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Clive Christian Jump Up and Kiss Me Hedonistic is a dark, sweet-leaning men's fragrance that sets floral and fruity notes against spice, wood and leather. Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer the least chosen. It leans towards nights out and evenings, while office and daily wear come well behind. On character, masculine leads, followed by modern and classic. It opens on black cherry, grapefruit and bergamot, with neroli and clary sage softening the fruit. The heart brings tobacco, jasmine, iris and opium forward. In the base, amber, leather, labdanum, tonka bean and vanilla settle the scent into a warm, sweet depth. Byredo Bibliothèque and Xerjoff Muse have a close profile.

Scandal pour Homme Elixir

7.3

Jean Paul Gaultier · 2026

Fruity · Sweet · Synthetic

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal pour Homme Elixir is a men's fragrance that leans towards autumn and winter evenings and nights out. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring further behind. Night out and evening wear dominate, while business and daytime use are chosen far less often. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, so it stays on the skin and projects noticeably. It opens with black cherry, fruity and sweet. Patchouli at the heart brings a woody, spicy side, and tonka bean in the base softens everything into a creamy, gourmand finish. The overall impression is sweet, dark and slightly synthetic.

Clive Christian · 2017

Fresh · Green · Fruity

Clive Christian Chasing the Dragon Hypnotic is a spicy, resinous and smoky men's fragrance with a sweet, woody side; it has been discontinued. It opens with bergamot and pink pepper alongside ginger, while frankincense and elemi resin set a cool, resinous tone.

In the base, vetiver, patchouli, myrrh and amber leave an earthy, smoky trail. Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, and it is worn mainly for evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine.
