First launched in 1999, The Original Collection was the inaugural collection to be released by Clive Christian Perfumes.

Setting the benchmark for exquisite fragrances crafted from extraordinary ingredients, the collection would go on to epitomise the perfume house and celebrate the heritage and philosophy of the original Crown Perfumery Company that had been established in 1872.

Having taken ownership of this prestigious company in 1999, Clive Christian OBE had a very clear vision: to use the very finest ingredients to create perfumes that were unlike any other; perfumes that had quality, depth and complexity at their heart.

Having delved into the archives to unearth ingredients and formulas from the company’s past, three pairs of perfumes were crafted and the Original Collection was born. While these were perfumes that referenced the company’s illustrious heritage, they were also fragrances that were perfectly in tune with modern day tastes.
