Aromatics Elixir - Eau de Parfum

I was about to celebrate my 62, I ordered the Aromatics Elixir and it smells nothing at all like I remember. My Mom used it for years and she gave me a bottle and I’ve used it for years as well, once she passed I continued to wear it because it truly reminded me of her, it does not have the same smell at all

This is the best perfume ever! It’s a little overwhelming at first but when other people smell it on you they will be drawn to you! This definitely falls into the “clean” family. It’s not soapy at all. Lasts such a long time! I hope they never stop making it!

Unconventional and old-fashioned

Proceed with caution and use very, very sparingly. I only apply one small spritz on my chest underneath the clothes, not on all major pulse points like with other fragrances. It lasts all day (12+ hours). This perfume can and will be overwhelming if you use too much. This is a statement fragrance, it is very complex and strong and it’s not for everyone. It is an old-fashioned scent and smells like it. It was launched in 1971, but it somewhat reminds me of a wooden dresser that is several centuries old. I picture an established lady from 1800s smelling like this. I’m a perfume junky and have a wide variety of scents to suit every mood, outfit, weather, etc. To me, this is not an everyday scent. It’s strong and powerful, yet warm and cozy. I certainly appreciate having this in my collection.

The way to wear Aromatics Elixir

Lovely scent. The best way to wear this is to spray the air and walk into it. I was a Clinique girl years ago and that’s how we were taught to explain the fragrance. If you spray too much on your skin it will be overwhelming.

Not for me

I was hoping for an Aveda-type scent, but this was not it. It smells very much like an eighty-year-old who still gets her hair set on Mondays.

This is my signature fragrance. People notice. NOTHING compares!!

The #1 In Beauty and fragrance

I always thought this fragrance was unique and unusual. The scent will attract someone special. I love this fragrance and always will. It's a little expensive for me at this time, but probably be around for awhile. Don't pass this up.

For Grandma

I'm glad I tested this in the store before purchasing. I thought with all the great reviews this was going to smell amazing. It smells like an old school grandma perfume. I couldn't wait to get home to wash it off.

My Signature Scent

I absolutely love this perfume, I have been stopped in the mall by complete strangers, often men, who want to know what I'm wearing. It's the only scent I wear now.

Because it makes me feel like who I am.

One of my first jobs was counter girl for Clinique in Bloomingdale's, White Plains. There were three infamous counters, Chanel, Lancome and Clinique. The rest were uprising, but small compared to the Big Three. My signature fragrance would become Aromatics fragrance since 1988. Occasionally, I would mix with Clinique Wrappings, until Clinique only starting selling it during the holidays. Aromatics is fresh, clean, and mysterious as others have said. You can put it on and reap immediate benefits. It needs to bloom, and it does over time. I've tried many fragrances being a product junkie, but I never feel like myself unless I am wearing the Elixir. Large one for home, small one for my purse.

I've been using this for many years. A couple of sprays in the morning and it lasts all day - you forget you have it on but other people notice and I've always been asked what perfume I had on and they liked it.
