    Real talk

    This is a floral fragrance. For men. Powdery iris and white florals sit front and center. If that sentence made you pause, this probably isn't your bottle.Clive Christian No 1
    X for Men is genuinely expensive, and it smells like it. The cardamom-ginger opening does not apologize for itself, and the vanilla drydown is patient enough to reward those who wait.X For Men
