At last!!!! This is finally in the database! I thought I was going mad...I tried it ages ago and even had a sample I think? and I couldn't find it on the CC website or online anywhere...as if I'd imagined it. Well it does exist, and although Clive takes a monumental amount of flack from purists, perfumistas, even fans of this kind of ridiculously opulent, luxury, bullshit are sometimes disparaging but let me tell you this stuff is AWE INSPIRING!!! What a fragrance!!! You get some of the heat and bite in the opening but I can't say this smells all that much of sichuan, perhaps when it settles similarly to pink pepper because this definitely has that character along with that sharpness you get from labdanum or something? It's positivity sweet, yet spicy nuance completely charmed me to the point where I was transfixed by the scent. It dries down to a more floral smell, I just thought it was fantastic. I remember it vividly and this was just a chance encounter in Selfridges probably 2 or 3 years ago now? but I sniffed my arm all night and wore a sample later which confirmed how much of a winner this is. It's a totally unique fragrance for me, and despite my own hangups and ingrained disdain for this brand, I have to say that some of these 'Twist' ones and the 'Noble' collection were very original. I feel the same about the Gourmand, the fougere, the rockrose and papyrus ones, all Fantastic. So why haven't I bought it? Well considering that this is £250 for 50ml it's at the higher end of what is acceptable for me to pay for perfume. However, it's not astronomical compared with other niche brands or the rest of the CC line most seem to be £375 and up. So in some crazy moment I might be tempted to get this but that is a reflection of how good I think it smells because the 'prestige' of owning CC has the reverse effect on me, I'm actually embarrassed to own such decadent stuff, like if I suddenly came into money, I couldn't drive around in a Ferrari, I'd feel like a twat.
