In 1999 Clive Christian acquired the Crown Perfumery, a celebrated British perfume house established in 1872. The house acquired its name after being granted the use of the royal crown by Queen Victoria as a mark of quality and excellence. Now, inspired by history and tradition, Clive Christian creates a new level of luxury perfumes, with exotic, natural ingredients that allure both men and women.

Effortless elegance, this classic, citrus perfume opens to a heart of Rose de Mai, which has often been associated with the presence of an angel. So pure that 170 roses are needed to make just one drop. Rose de Mai is so rare that it blooms for just three weeks each year in May. Known as 'The Painter's Rose and still sourced in Grasse, France, to produce one pound of absolute, 10,000 pounds of rose blossoms must be handpicked before dawn.
