V for Men

V for Men by Clive Christian opens with a bold, intense burst of sharp pepper and citrus, creating a confrontational yet refined introduction that quickly settles into a deep, resinous core of frankincense, oud, and amber. The scent evolves slowly, revealing layers of woody, balsamic, and spicy notes that unfold with a quiet intensity, much like incense in a cathedral. It projects moderately, with longevity that can extend into the long range for some, though personal experience often reports it fading to a skin-scent within a few hours. The overall character is heavily incense-driven, bold, and gravely masculine, with a solemn elegance that leans toward ceremonial and refined physical presence rather than casual wear. It is best suited for formal settings, winter wear, or intimate gatherings where presence and depth matter more than projection. The natural chemistry of the wearer plays a significant role, with smoother, deeper skin tones often enhancing the scent’s richness and architectural weight.
