I for Women Woody Floral With Vintage Rose, from Clive Christian was released in 2017. The perfumer behind this creation is Celia Orozco Cirimbilli. It has the top notes of Mandarin Orange, middle notes of Rose, and base notes of Amber and Cedarwood.
I - Woody Floral definitely lives up to its name of being a floral, however unfortunately lacks the woody aspect. It opens initially very bright, fresh and invigorating as clean citruses of bergamot, mandarin and grapefruit combine with pink and black pepper. From here the scent becomes dominated by an accord of red berries which are intensely juicy and fruity. The pink pepper and red berries take charge throughout the life of the scent, with gentle touches of rose and jasmine. In the base there is claimed to be patchouli, vanilla, oud and vetiver, however these are not present in the slightest unfortunately. The rose in here reminds me of L - Floral Chypre, which uses the same thick, sweet, almost candied rose accord. Woody Floral is a pleasant and enjoyable fragrance to wear if you like red berries and rose, however I feel it lacks depth and development. It doesn’t warrant the high price tag and leaves you wanting more, personally I would choose Floral Chypre instead.
