Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The olfactory structure of Chasing the Dragon Hypnotic is shaped as an expressive line of development, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The signature of Clive Christian comes through in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Perfume extract emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.

In the first seconds you catch resinous-spicy opening notes: Bergamot, Elemi, Frankincense and Ginger.

In the central layer you detect Basil, Cherry, Cinnamon, Clove, Fir Resin and Labdanum carrying a cinnamon-nutmeg direction.

The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Balsamic, Aromatic, Citrus and Fruit with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Wood, Amber and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is masculine, which clarifies the composition character.

At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Balsamic, Spicy and Aromatic. It also reaches into Fruit, Ambery, Wood and Gourmet.

Overall Chasing the Dragon Hypnotic holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best understood in wear.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The fragrance really caught my attention when I looked at its pyramid. But then the price. It's simply shocking! :) It turns out it costs even more than some Tom Ford perfumes. Maybe it's worth trying, but buying it for that kind of money - that's another question

The composition sounds quite interesting. I'd like to try it on myself
