Ah, what a beauty ! I debated getting a full bottle for a while, as this is indeed similar to BDK’s Gris Charnel which I already had. If you have tried GC before and liked it, you’ll likely love Clifton. The one note “missing” from Gris Charnel is the tea. Comparing the two, there’s less spice and more fruit in Clifton, the overall feel is smoother and richer and the performance is way better. It feels like both these perfumes had the same goal but the execution in Clifton is flawless. Sweet Fig, lightly spiced, evolving into a creamy woody scent. Sublime.
