Clifton – Extrait de Parfum

ADAMO – a niche perfume label from the Milan area that translates coastal places into bottles in its Costiera Collection: Cap Cana, Miami, Cape Town – black-and-white packaging, made in Italy. Clifton, named after Cape Town's beach district, is by Julien Rasquinet.

Clifton smells of ripe fig, peach and cardamom at the start, then creamy-floral through sandalwood, orange blossom and iris. Cedarwood, amber, vetiver, tonka bean and vanilla lay a warm, soft base underneath – fruity, but never syrupy.

Clifton belongs to spring and summer, by day as well as in the evening – a genderneutral fragrance for long days, light clothes and skin that still carries a little sun.

What makes Clifton special to us is the mix of fruit and wood: the fig stays green and juicy, the sandalwood creamy, the iris powdery-cool – a summer fragrance with depth that does not weigh you down.
