Aromatics Elixir by Clinique Eau de Parfum For Women, 100ml

Product Information

Obviously Aromatics Elixir had a presence of natural ingredients- spices are just real, absolutely naturalistic and very prominent. As a man, and a lover of chypres, and a admirer of Bernard Chant, i must hunt down a back up bottle, vintage, of Aromatics Elixir. I’d rather be stuck in a lift with spilled bottles of Opium and Poison than have to spend time in the company of someone wearing AE.

It’s not a bad feeling, it’s just that this perfume doesn’t feel young at all, it’s a complex, heavy scent for a mature woman who wants everyone to know when she has arrived. I will proceed by making clear that this is not a crowd pleasing fragrance, this is not something that everybody will appreciate, but I would be hard-pressed to find a chypre lover who will not enjoy this 70s masterpiece.But despite everything I can not let this go, I feel how beautiful it is, there is a reason why AE has been popular for 50 years. Because the incense and oakmoss notes are not too heavy on my skin (compared to application on fabrics), I think I might be able to pull Aromatics Elixir off in warmer weathers because I like wearing herbal scents that are light and bitter in the summer. As she sauntered past my desk I was enveloped and over come by the most dark, fragrant, complex and intriguing perfume that I had ever smelled.

Aromatic Elixir is among the legendary fragrances of the 20th century: instantly recognizable, profoundly polarizing, but for the right person, simultaneously intoxicating and grounding (if that somehow is possible). Sembra anche fatto di foglie di salvia essicate alla fine,cosa che nella versione precedente non c'era. On first spray (forearm and wrist), the most prominent notes I'm getting are the chamomile and Oakmoss. I've tried the "spray and walk through" method and even then, it settles on your hair and doesn't go away.At first spray, you get that blast of aldehydes - it honestly reminded me of the aldehydes in Blue Grass.
