A Luminous Feast of Freshness and Sensuality
No. 1 is not simply a fragrance: it is a statement of intent, an ode to detail, luxury, and the art of masterful perfumery. Its sparkling opening gives way to a warm and sophisticated floral heart, before settling into a rich and enveloping base. Each note, each accord, is designed to conquer the skin and the memory, offering a scent that is as powerful as it is subtle, as classic as it is modern.
The Seal of Perfume Artists
Clive Christian, a British interior designer turned visionary perfumer, revitalized the historic Crown Perfumery House with a clear mission: to restore perfumery to its full splendor. His style combines aristocratic heritage with sensorial innovation, and No. 1 is the perfect example of that vision. His meticulousness in selecting exceptional raw materials is felt in every drop of this fragrance.
Top Notes: Pure Mediterranean Freshness
From the first moment, No. 1 awakens the senses with a vibrant citrus explosion: lime, Sicilian mandarin, pink grapefruit, and bergamot caress the nose with energy and elegance. These citrus fruits intertwine with the spicy warmth of cardamom, nutmeg, and bell pepper, creating a bold and sophisticated contrast. The herbaceous touch of artemisia and caraway adds an aromatic texture that transports one to the scented gardens of the Mediterranean and ancient English herbalists.
Heart Notes: An Exotic Garden of Floral Seduction
The heart of No. 1 unfolds like an aristocratic bouquet: the delicacy of lily of the valley, the sensuality of jasmine, and the exoticism of ylang-ylang blend with the powdery nobility of iris and heliotrope. Rose, classic and eternal, anchors this floral symphony with romance and depth. These notes mediate between exuberance and refinement, capturing the soul of the perfume like a secret garden at dusk.
Base Notes: Creamy and Persistent Sensuality
When the fragrance rests on the skin, its most intimate and luxurious soul emerges. Madagascar vanilla brings enveloping sweetness, while golden amber and tonka bean create a creamy, warm, and caressing base. Vetiver and Virginia cedar provide earthy elegance and masculinity, while 50-year-old sandalwood, a true olfactory rarity, imparts a velvety texture and a mystical aura. Musk completes the composition with a whisper of clean skin and discreet sensuality.
An all-round fragrance: versatile and memorable
Despite its opulence, No. 1 is astonishingly versatile. It works equally well in formal settings as in intimate gatherings, gracefully adapting to cool and temperate climates. It is ideal for confident, sophisticated men with classic taste and artistic sensibility. Its elegant trail makes it an unforgettable olfactory signature.
A bottle, a jewel: luxury according to Clive Christian
The No. 1 bottle is a collector's item: heavy and refined crystal, crowned by the iconic crown-shaped gold cap, symbol of Queen Victoria's royal grant to the original house. Every detail exudes British opulence, from the embossed logo to the gold-embroidered label. This jewel not only holds fragrance, it holds history, art, and heritage.
