Clinique: Aromatics Elixir, Eau de Toilette

This has to be my favourite perfume of all time. Just one waft of fragrance as someone walks past and it is unmistakable. Aromatics Elixir is made by Clinique, and the first thing you will notice about it is that it’s not cheap!! Having said that a little of it does go a long way. I won some vouchers to spend at Debenhams a couple of years ago and I decided to treat myself to some of this perfume. I bought the 45ml parfum spray which cost about £30, I think. There are larger bottles available and you can also buy the various toiletries to match – bubble bath, talcum powder, soap etc, if you’re feeling really flush! ...  Read the complete review

I don't know many women who would just go out and buy themselves a bottle of perfume on a whim, I find buying perfume for myself an extravagance I can ill afford, and to be honest it never seems to smell as good when youve shelled out the best part of 40 quid of your own hard earned cash.

A friend had it bought for her and the wonderful aroma I caught as she ‘wafted’ past, was a moment I will never forget. I asked her the name of the wonderful aroma and she said, simply, “Aromatics” - and that was how I thought of it until, several years later, ...  Read the complete review

Aromatics Elixir is made by the brand Clinique, and has been around since 1971. The official blurb regarding this fragrance describes it as "a refreshing, woody fragrance. This feminine scent possesses a blend of fresh and woody with blend of oakmoss, white jasmine, chamomile and patchouli". I am not a perfume connoisseur, but I know what I like, and I certainly like this... This definately isn't a day to day perfume. It's more for special occasions and big nights out. I have to say that this is a perfume you will either totally love or totally hate, and it definately makes a statement! I have lost count of ...  Read the complete review
