Matsukita by Clive Christian opens bright and a little sharp: bergamot and pink pepper, warmed straight away by nutmeg. The heart is the interesting part, mate sitting alongside Chinese jasmine and jasmine sambac, laid over guaiac wood for a faintly bitter edge rather than a sweet one. Musk, amber, balsam fir and woodsy notes settle the finish, dry and quietly resinous. Its fresh opening turning properly woody by the end appeals to men and women alike who want real character rather than something safe. Voters wear it across spring, summer and autumn, through the day, into the office and on into evening. Longevity leans eternal in the vote, while sillage reads strong as well, holding its ground without shouting. A 10ml decant is enough to learn, over a season, whether mate and warm wood suit you.
