Kiss Hedonistic
Just three declared materials: leather, labdanum, labdanum-warmed amber. Julie Pluchet distilled the Clive Christian philosophy down to its barest structure with this 2021 extrait, and the result is something that functions almost like a second skin rather than a conventional fragrance. The leather is neither sharp nor beastly; it's old and burnished, made warmer by the labdanum resins until it becomes genuinely animalic in a way that registers as intimacy. Sparse on paper, consuming in wear.
Why We Carry This
Clive Christian's Kiss series represents some of the most focused work the house has released in recent years, and Hedonistic earns its name through restraint rather than excess. Three notes, one mood, flawless execution. We carry it for clients who have worn everything and want something that operates at a different register entirely.
