X Twist Baies Rose

Firstly, I'll say that I'm a big fan of X by Clive Christian. I own a bottle and at CC prices, you really need to love it to own one. This fragrance at heart is definitely reminiscent of the original X but has the added pink pepper and I can detect some other warm spicy notes, which honestly is a warming and welcoming addition. In regards to the notes listed above, I'd venture to say, that's not a complete list at all. The complexity of this fragrance is second to none from Clive Christian's line and many of the components are definitely not included in the pyramid. It is very well blended and extremely complex, which makes it hard for my nose to pick up individual notes. I initially smelled this one at Saks from a tester and knew right away I needed to have this. Into the collection it went. I have bottle 211 or 117 (I can't quite make out the exact numbers) I haven't worn it often, but I really love the smell. For a pure perfume, the performance is good, but not great. I was honestly expecting a bit more. Either way, this scent is in my top 5 and I do prefer it to the original X.

To me this smells 99% similar to the original X which is fine by me as I was wanting more X. X is such a gorgeous creation. It is otherworldly. There are so many characteristics to it that fabricates a stunning juice. It's heavy, it's light, it's dark, it's bright, and holy cow it's fantastic. The difference between this and the original is a minuscule deeper, more spicy feel. They are so adjacent I can narrowly tell, but when I really strive to find a deviation, that is all that I find. Sensational stuff nonetheless.

I have bottle number 1 out of 400 😁 i purchased it in Chicago 2017... didn’t even recognize i had the first bottle made.. this is absolutely amazing and my favorite year around parfum.. what season do you wear your CC?
