Launched in 2019 as a limited edition for Clive Christian’s twentieth anniversary, 20 Iconic Masculine is the masculine side of an anniversary pair, a woody citrus the house calls both energetic and mysterious, at a 20% concentration, moving from zesty yuzu and tangy mandarin to an earthy, smoky Haitian vetiver.
The house singles out three notes: yuzu in the top, mandarin in the heart and Haitian vetiver in the base. The perfume moves, it says, from bright citrus notes to a smoky vetiver, at once energetic and mysterious.
Yuzu and mandarin
Yuzu opens on a bright, zesty citrus freshness, which the house likens to lemon and mandarin. The mandarin of the heart, sweet and tangy, balances this burst of energy in its view.
A Haitian vetiver
Haitian vetiver gives the base a strong, earthy foundation with deep, smoky nuances. In 2019, Now Smell This listed petitgrain, sweet mandarin, pink pepper, yuzu, rosemary and cedar.
