A cult-classic scent defined by a complex blend of luxury notes, for an incomparable and intense fragrance. Allergy tested.
Clinique’s Aromatics Elixir™ Eau de Parfum is a cult-classic luxury perfume. Perfumers call it a chypre, meaning its unique blend of notes creates a predominantly woodsy, mossy scent. This long-lasting perfume combines more than 700 ingredients to create a confident, sensuous fragrance. Rich vetiver, lush oakmoss, and luxurious patchouli are balanced with the soft florally of ylang ylang and rose—a bold blend that stirs the senses and spirit in subtle, pleasing ways.

If its not broke dont mess wifh it
Originally posted on Clinique UK
I dont understand why Clinique have decided to tamper with this once lovely perfume. I to have worn this once gorgeous perfume for over 30 years. Its the end of an era for me & im so sad. It now has the aroma of an old out of date perfume & has no longevity to it. Its just like spraying smelly water??

Just not the same.

Totally agree with all the reviews, absolutely changed and spoilt. Just not the same perfume anymore . I have been wearing the perfume for years and years and it stayed wonderful all day and always got loads of compliments. Now I won't buy it at the price for a changed version and so disappointed . I tried a sample the other day and it didn't last long , I couldn't smell it and it had a completely different tone . So I've stopped buying it as well . The colour even looks darker in the bottle.

Love of my life

I absolutely love this perfume, my mum used to wear it when I was little, and it kinda set the tone for my scent attraction. I completely forgot about this perfume, and one day I accidentally attracted by the clean and minimal design of the bottle, and the beautiful colour of amber through the translucent glass, and I know it is the one. Clinique please keep them forever!

Was gifted a 100ml bottle at Christmas and as this is a classic I have worn for years I was looking forward to wearing it and receiving the compliments. But where previously the fragrance lasted all day I'm not convinced this new one even lasted an hour. The price is still the sameÖbut what have you done Clinique, that's me on the hunt for a new perfume now.

What have you done CliniqueÖ.

I recently treated myself to a new bottle of Aromatics Elixir, which I've been using for 30 plus years. Wish I'd read the reviews first, but then why would you expect a company to butcher a classic fragrance like this? I'd come back to it again and again after dabbling with other fragrances and it never disappointed, till today. What's changed? Well it's an entirely different colour than my 'original' but sadly very depleted bottle, it smells totally different on first application, and barely lasts an hour, so I can't comment on the middle or base notes, they don't exist! I'd always catch a smell of the original at various times through the day, and frequently got comments about it. Can't smell a thing an hour later. Feels like I've bought a supermarket clone fragranceÖ but not at clone prices! What have you done Clinique and why, why, why? Makes me wonder what else you're cutting corners on and whether your other products are still worth the loyalty.

Long time fan
Yes, I recommend this
I have been using this fragrance for about 50 years, and am delighted to say my grandchildren call it “nana’s perfume” which thankfully they do like and recognise even when they smell it on others. It makes me feel very together and the last thing which I put on when about to leave the house

My best smell!
Yes, I recommend this
Worn this for years, so many people have commented that it suits me and not to change it! So I don’t.

I have always loved this perfume and have previously had people stop me to ask what it is. I recently bought my latest bottle but the smell is weaker. I have to spray far too much for anyone to smell it. It's definitely changed. I'm so disappointed ??. Why do companies have to do this when they had a perfect product in the first place!

why ! why change a winning product ??
No, I don't recommend this
As many customers have stated , I have been using this beautiful perfume for approx. 50 years !! lovely lovely perfume and had many loyal customers. I intended using Clinique indefinitely as I loved it so much, but now it is just not the same why oh why would you change such a winning formal. What with that and the lipstick I loved (Fab pop) has been discontinued, I will no longer bother to even look at Clinique products - if they don't value my custom, I am not interested in what they offer for sale now!

Should be marketed under new name
Originally posted on Clinique UK
Like many fragrances used by my generation we find the we return to those ones we loved in the past. I was curious that you mention Oak Moss as a base note. Because, the difference in the new formula was explained in a review I read as being down to the omission of Oak Moss owing to EU rules. Oak Moss being now a conservation issue. So if it's claimed to be in there what is the reason for it smelling so different from the old formula? I have an old bottle with some left and it is much more substantial and full bodied - the fragrance of your current product is that of a knock off product - not like one from the genuine manufacturer. Is it watered down? What's going on Clinique? It's not horrible but it really is so different from before. BTW It's not the only fragrance to suffer in this way.

Start listening to feedback and FIX THIS!

Exactly what do you need to read or hear before you return this perfume to the way it used to smell? Rather than copying and pasting the same link over and over again in ROBOTIC feedback to loyal clients of decades, actually take the time to explain why you changed the formula and what you're doing to restore it after the overwhelming negative feedback you got. That's what any self-respecting brand would do if it cared about its customers. We don't need you to thank us for our feedback and tell us that you care about it and send us to other links to repeat it, just to give us the fake impression that you're actually doing something. These our the reviews. You changed a long-loved formula. Loyal buyers are furious. FIX IT. Stop deflecting. If you had to cut costs, explain. If some ingredient has become mysterious extinct, explain. Whatever you do, understand that it's MISLEADING communication and UNETHICAL marketing to change a product and sell it under the same name as a previous one without communicating the drastic change and giving buyers the chance to act according. It is in fact a form of theft.

Why do you ignore the bad reviews
Originally posted on Clinique UK
I have complained about the cheap nasty product that aromatics has become and can not understand why a company would look at so many similar reviews and bury their heads in the sand. It is no longer an exclusive product that was a joy to wear. Because of your attitude and not restoring the product to its former glory I refuse to purchase your other products.

Decided to revert back to an old fragrance I used to wear religiously- I am so disappointed this is nothing like the AE I wore a few years ago - it's like a completely different perfume - a poor imitation. So sad an iconic perfume has gone.

My mom has used this for years. We bought her some for Christmas. Having seen these reviews I asked her about it. She said it didn't seem to last. She's 89 but now having to find a new one. My sister in law and I had both switched but you have lost us too

Soooooo disappointed that this has been changed. Have worn this perfume for years, always loved it and people used to ask me what it was. The new version has no resemblance to the original and barely has any aroma. Feel cheated out of my money. Surely you should have renamed it instead of passing it off as the same! Having seen similar comments it shows how many of your loyal customers feel duped and disappointed with your company. Cannot understand why you changed such a popular and beautiful perfume.
