What does Clinique Aromatics Elixir Eau de Parfum for women smell like?
Aromatics Elixir is a thick, herbal, essential, and, of course, aromatic scent. The opening features bitter, sun-dried herbs, which are almost immediately contrasted by a combination of moss and patchouli – earthy, rough, green, evoking the impression of damp earth and leaves. This duo dominates and is noticeable practically throughout, though not always directly. As the fragrance develops, wild, essential rose, sunny ylang-ylang, and sweet jasmine emerge, illuminating and smoothing the composition's harshness. As it settles into the base, the scent calms, becoming cool and dry, with a faint hint of smoky incense. The combination of dry, green vetiver and creamy musk gives it an intimate, feminine, slightly powdery character.
