About Clive Christian Variety EDC
Clive Christian is the house behind Variety EDC. It comes as Eau de Cologne.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its fresh spicy side keeps it clean and easy.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. It lasts about as long as Clive Christian 150 Anniversary Collection Contemporary and Prada L'Homme. Base notes like malt and moss are the part that stays longest on the skin.
