Composition
V for Men is a masculine parfum from Clive Christian's Private Collection, launched in 2012 and composed by Christian Provenzano. Frankincense leads, with elemi resin and citruses at the top and pink, white and black peppers interlocked with nutmeg and orris at the heart. The base deepens into olibanum, cedar, vetiver, agarwood oud, amberwood, vanilla and amber.
To me this is a private study lined with dark wood — elemi resin and citrus bright on the desk, then a whole drawer of peppers: black, white, pink, cracked over nutmeg and cool orris. Olibanum smokes in the corner, cedar and vetiver in the floorboards, and agarwood rises through it all, dark and commanding, over amberwood and vanilla. Clive Christian's most serious masculine: spiced, resinous, and built like a bank vault. Wealth has a smell, and this is it. Not for beginners — beginners stay away.
