A composition that moves between the citrus formality of a London drawing room and the green freshness of an English estate: Clive Christian's Town and Country opens on citrus and bergamot before rose and jasmine settle over amber and sandalwood, for anyone.
Town and Country is structured around the duality its name suggests. A citrus accord and bergamot in the top provide the freshness associated with classic British colognes; the opening is bright, structured, and restrained. Rose and jasmine in the heart provide the floral fullness that lifts the composition from cologne-light to something more substantial.
Clove adds warm spice to the heart, bridging the floral toward the base. Amber provides warm resinous support; sandalwood adds creamy wood; musk extends the drydown. The composition reads as a considered luxury interpretation of the English aromatic tradition rather than a novel direction. Seven to nine hours on skin.
Town and Country suits spring and autumn from daytime through evening. The bergamot and rose accord reads well in moderate temperatures. A fragrance suited to casual and smart-casual occasions.
