It is my firm belief that all great fragrances are polarizing, eliciting a strong response. Whether you love Clinique Aromatics Elixir or find it detestable, it cannot leave you indifferent. Among the legends of American perfumery, it is a fragrance that deserves a chapter of its own.

All my favourite people know me by this beautiful fragrance and often comment on how they love it. How wonderful to be able to purchase a perfume I have used for so long at such a good price and receive it so quickly after ordering

Draws Compliments; Great Smell; Great Value

Nothing Negative To Say

The most bitter, spicy, impressive, most loved, most hated perfume on the planet. Its wearers are either anosmic (and accordingly it is overdosed), then it attracts negative attention, is loud and almost rude, or they wear it like a veil, are aware of the magical powers and let it seep deeply and...

I used to wear the Aromatics Elixir for a very long time. I started using it in the 80's and lately, I got me a new bottle and the scent is no longer the same as in the past. Clinique has reformulated and surely, it looses many loyal customers who used the Elixir in the past.

I ran into a woman at the grocery store who smelled wonderful and asked her what perfume she was wearing. She told me Aromatics Elixir. I ordered it here and it smells nothing like the scent she was wearing. This smells like a nursing home. Unfortunately, it can't be returned so I lost out.

The fact that Aromatics is still so popular now, 40 years after it was first created, says it all. I have hardly ever been without a bottle during all those years. It is a beautiful, warm, woody fragrance, perfect for autumn and winter.

I'm not sure if the perfume I received is off but the smell is different to previous bottles I have had. I have had to wash clothes I've worn with the lingering perfume on them as the smell is not very nice.

strong individual scent - oriental fragrance lovely winter perfume as very heavy and long lasting smell - very similar to youth dew by estee lauder

The most beautiful perfume!! I wear it everyday and somebody ALWAYS tells me that I smell good. It smells different on everybody but always so lovely - never overpowering

Aromatics Elixir (1971) spearheaded a new house for Estée Lauder, the third since the company itself launched in 1946 and appeared with Youth Dew perfume in 1953, following the male-only Aramis house in 1965, created after the 1964 launch of Aramis cologne proved a smash success.
