CLIVE CHRISTIAN is one of the oldest perfume houses. It was founded over 150 years ago by William Sparks Thomson, one of London's leading corset makers at the time. Queen Victoria, her most famous patron, granted the use of her crown image on her perfume bottles.
This image continues to define every perfume bottle today. The crown of Queen Victoria stands proud as the stopper of each perfume. This is a lasting keepsake of a token of gratitude, celebrating a very special personal relationship with one of Britain's greatest monarchs.
Using the finest ingredients, with complex formulas and the best craftsmanship, this British perfumery brand crafts its fragrances to stand the test of time.
Great historical figures such as Ava Gardner, Grata Garbo, Charlie Chaplin, Oscar Wilde or Winston Churchill chose CLIVE CHRISTIAN to perfume themselves.
Its aromas not only have great persistence thanks to their complex compositions and their high concentrations of essences (between 20 and 25%, which translates into more than 8 hours of fixation), but are also totally timeless.
