The fragrance opens with a luminous accord of Bergamot, Grapefruit and Neroli, intertwined with the green, herbal character of Black Cherry, Clary Sage and Mate Tea. Its heart develops around Jasmine, Orris, Papyrus and Tobacco, while the base reveals Ambers, smoky Leather and resinous Labdanum, softened by Tonka Bean, Vanilla and warm woods.
Clive Christian describes Jump up and Kiss Me Hedonistic as a smouldering, alluring elixir combining amber, oriental, gourmand and fruity facets. The Maison officially confirms an unusually complex formula of 203 ingredients and a substantial 25% perfume concentration.
The Addictive Arts collection explores perfume hedonism through stories inspired by British literary greats and incorporates Clive Christian's proprietary AddictiveFusion technology. Specialist documentation connects the Jump up and Kiss Me pair with the atmosphere of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Top Notes
The opening combines Mate Tea, Black Cherry, citrus, Neroli and Clary Sage.
Mate tea contributes refined herbal bitterness, while black cherry adds dark fruitiness. Bergamot, grapefruit, lemon and neroli provide brightness, balanced by the aromatic green character of clary sage.
Heart Notes
The heart reveals Tobacco, Jasmine, Orris and Papyrus.
Tobacco forms the defining heart, with Clive Christian describing its dry, smoky warmth alongside sweet nuances reminiscent of maple and caramel. Jasmine and orris add floral and powdery richness, while papyrus reinforces the dry woody character.
Base Notes
The composition settles over Labdanum, Amber, Leather, Tonka Bean, Vanilla and woods.
Labdanum creates strong balsamic, resinous, amber and leather-like facets, while smoky leather deepens the composition. Tonka and vanilla soften the dry-down with warm, creamy sweetness.
