The summer season is now well underway. It is a time of
year that Team TME loves as it invites to escape to the beach or satisfies our
wanderlust with a fabulous vacation to an unknown land. Summer has is own solid
uniqueness of endless possibilities. With the magical inspiration of the
season, we chose an exquisite and upscale parfum for Fragrance Of The Month
July 2016 -- Clive Christian No. 1 for women and for men!
Each fragrance is
spectacular, and combined with the bottling that received the UK FIFI award for
special packaging in 2006, No. 1 is the representation of dreams. The bottles
for both scents are painted in gold! In 1999 Clive Christian acquired the Crown Perfumery, a
celebrated British perfume house established in 1872. The house acquired its
name after being granted the use of the royal crown by Queen Victoria as a mark
of quality and excellence, the design of which is used as the topper for each
scent.
Clive Christian No. 1 for Women (50 ml - $865) opens with a
warm masterful blend of fruits that envelope the seductive notes of jasmine and
ylang-ylang. Evolving into a touch of sweetness with drydown seamlessly
marrying precious notes and leaving one surrounded in cashmere-like comfort.
Clive Christian No. 1 for Women Perfume is serene, sophisticated and undeniably
feminine. The scent classification is Oriental Floral. Season: All ;
Sillage: 3-Moderate; Longevity: 4-Long Lasting; Bottling-5.

Clive Christian No. 1 for Men (50 ml - $865) is similar in
essence to No. 1 for Women in that it is an Oriental theme (Oriental Wood to be

crisp blend of warm fruits, No. 1 for Men quickly gives way to its mid notes
with a predominance of jasmine and ylang ylang with dry down settling softly
into a masculine woodsy essence. Season: All Seasons; Sillage: 4-Heavy;
