Clive Christian

Clive Christian was established in 1999 when the English designer of the same name acquired Crown Perfumery, the celebrated perfume house established in London in 1872, and so named after being granted the use of the royal crown by Queen Victoria as a sign of quality and excellence. The brand interprets a refined art, bringing to life a thousand year tradition of fragrances in which, for Clive Christian, luxury, the search for perfection and tradition seem to be limitless.

Clive Christian redefines haute perfumery through its commitment to the world’s finest ingredients,artistry, and bold olfactory compositions. From the launch of The Original Collection in 2005 to the record-breaking Imperial Majesty—recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s most expensive perfume—the house continues to set the standard for opulent craftsmanship.
Remaining at the pinnacle of niche perfumery, Clive Christian preserves its British legacy while shapingthe future of haute fragrance, leading the way in innovation and sensory excellence.
Each Clive Christian perfume is a timeless classic—crafted without compromise and composed of 150 to250 ingredients with a minimum of 20% perfume oil concentration. The result: highly expressive, enduring Parfum creations that are the ultimate form of self-expression.

The 2012 New Year Honours List announced Clive Christian as the recipient of an OBE - Order of the British Empire - for his contribution as a Designer to the British Luxury Goods Industry. 

In 2025, Clive Christian was honored with the Hollywood Beauty Award for Best Fragrance Brand, recognizing the brand’s unparalleled use of exquisite ingredients, complex formulations, and enduring dedication to craftsmanship. This year marks a new era for the house, as it prepares to introduce a home fragrance line—expanding the Clive Christian world of sensory luxury into new categories. The world’s finest perfumes. Without compromise."
