17 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Clive Christian range is made of

Across the 17 Clive Christian fragrances Zenyra has mapped, the materials that recur most are amber (47%), bergamot (47%), mandarin orange (41%). No single note dominates, which is itself a choice — this is a house that works across a palette rather than around a signature material.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads drier than the catalogue as a whole: sweetness averages 0.28 against 0.40 across all mapped fragrances. That is a wide margin, and it is the clearest thing the data says about this house.

One idea, or many

Clive Christian releases variations on a theme. Measured as the average spread of its fragrances across all five axes, the range scores 0.085 — narrow. Someone who likes one Clive Christian fragrance is unusually likely to like the next, and someone who dislikes one probably will not find the exception further down the range.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2006.
