THE WORLD OF CLIVE CHRISTIAN

Clive Christian has collaborated with luxury tea brand Newby Teas, pairing some of the most loved perfumes with their tea counterparts. Taste and smell are intimately entwined. Both are strongly connected to memory and have the power to trigger a vast array of emotions and feelings; from nostalgia to desire, excitement to relaxation.

These unique teas have been specially created for Clive Christian by Newby’s master tea taster, and combine notes found in the bestselling Clive Christian perfumes from the most loved Original Collection.

This spring, Clive Christian Perfume celebrates the love story that founded the brand with the release of two limited edition perfumes of two of our most iconic fragrances, inspired by the scent of orange blossom, 1872 Mandarin & X Neroli.

In 2020, Clive Christian launched the new Crown Collection, an exploration of the brand's origins in the Crown Perfumery Company, who created some of the finest perfumes the world had to offer. After the successful first launch of Crab Apple Blossom, Clive Christian is delighted to introduce new Matsukita for spring 2021, a mesmerising and magnificent Woody Floral Chypre that is sure to conquer the world of haute perfumery with its presence. New fragrances inspired by the archives will be bought back to life, reinventing timeless fragrances that shook the world of perfume as far back as 1872. Prepare to delve into royal perfume history, reimagined for a new era. Crown Collection perfumes will be launched individually to pay tribute to the heritage of the brand and the perfumes.

Just like poetry, perfumery is an art form. It is often found in the artistic realms that different arts will borrow from each other and be inspired by the other. From painters to musicians to perfumers, all are inspired by different unique talents throughout the creative world.

It is only fitting that Clive Christian would be inspired by England's greatest playwright for the launch of Jump Up and Kiss Me from the Addictive Arts Collection, a collection of perfumes inspired by the works of British literary greats where states of heightened emotions and feelings are explored.

Jump up and Kiss Me is inspired by William Shakespeare's most famous comedy- A Midsummer Night's Dream. Set in a forest where mythical fairies live, a place where dreams and reality are oddly mixed. Oberon the king of the fairies is determined to play a trick on his wife Titania after a fight and send his spriteliest servant Puck to pick the viola tricolour, a flower that when placed on the eyelids of those asleep, will cause them to fall in love with whoever or whatever they first set eyes on when they wake. Oberon also spots a pair of quarrelling would be lovers and in trying to help them, his servant Puck falls victim to a case of mistaken identity and the effects of the flower lead to a complicated love triangle. Meanwhile, the fairy queen Titania has been enchanted to fall in love with a weaver who has had his head transformed into that of a Donkey by the mischievous puck and Oberon.

The Clive Christian Original Collection explores the very essence of what true perfumery should be – the epitome of luxury as these perfumes have been loved globally since 1999. These perfumes were a part of the inaugural debut from Clive Christian Perfumes as it was taken over by Clive Christian OBE himself where he aimed to bring to life the art of perfumery. Celebrating the finest of ingredients and exploring depth and complexity, the Original Collection honours the unmistakable integrity of creativity, craftsmanship and unique heritage.
