Chasing the Dragon Hypnotic

Chasing the Dragon Hypnotic by Clive Christian presents a dense, opulent aroma centered around cinnamon, clove, and sour cherry, with a pronounced warm spicy character. The fragrance evolves from a bold, slightly medicinal opening into a more refined, leathery, and resinous drydown. Many users describe it as deeply hypnotic and seductive, noting its ability to transform from a gourmand, fruit-laden burst into something darker and more complex—reminiscent of vintage Versus Uomo or Amouage Interlude. The scent maintains impressive longevity and sillage, though some find its intensity overwhelming, likening the experience to being inside a spice-heavy Asian supermarket. There is a discernible herbal or green note (possibly cypriol or wormwood) that adds depth, contrasting the sweet cherry and spicy clove. On balance, it delivers on elegance and presence, but the premium price is frequently deemed excessive, even by those who deeply appreciate the scent.
