What Does Clinique Aromatics Elixir Smell Like?

Aromatics Elixir is a classic Clinique fragrance. The notes below come from Fragrantica, which lists perfumer Bernard Chant and a chypre floral family.

The scent in three stages

• Top: chamomile, aldehydes, clary sage, coriander, geranium, lemon verbena, rosewood and bergamot.
• Heart: carnation, rose, ylang-ylang, orris root, jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom.
• Base: oakmoss, patchouli, incense, vetiver, sandalwood and musk.

How it smells

Fragrantica describes an opening dominated by verbena, sage and chamomile, a floral heart, and a moss-green base of oakmoss and patchouli with a vetiver-influenced end.

Launch year

Fragrantica gives both 1971 and 1975, so check Clinique’s own information.

Test on skin before buying, because fragrance reacts differently on each person.
