The last thing i do before i leave my house. I spray my self with aromatic elixir. My one and only parhune the last 12 years. I use also the body smoother and the shower jel.I am addicted♥️♥️♥️
Can i ask what would you say is similar to aromatics please 🙏💗
Fabulous darling (:
I purchased this fragrance online so I didn't like it at first; it reminded me of an old lady perfume. However, when I layered it with a Vanilla scent it was amazing! You are correct you have to layer it and it changes. It lasts and men love it, it's very exotic and very changeable. I'm going to try layering it with a very light musk.
Love how into detail you go into reviewing this, what would you say is a good comparison to this Parfum 💗
Yes! A perfume for a beautiful witch….. 🤎💃🦉🌑🔮💜 I love this elegant scent 🧚♀️
Dacob is like my fashion/perfume soulmate 😭 I just bought this perfume because it smelled of opulence and wisdom—and also the forest like he said!!!!😭❤️
I’ve never heard of this perfume until I was browsing the perfume section at ulta and I FELL IN LOVE. It is very complex and luxurious and fantastic. I YouTubed it because I was curious on what other people thought of it and I was so excited to see he already made a video on it!! ❤️
Hahaha “It’s the Joan Crawford of Chypres you know what I mean.”
I sprayed this twice at Macys and went directly to a toy store. Some lady said something about strong perfume. So embarrassed. I liked it. But it was alot I will say. All you need is one half spray. 😁😁
Granny perfume? Also because it's been their signature since the 70s! We were ready for it then though I'm convinced it was reformulated (more than once) for cost savings and does not have the 'je ne sais quoi' of the original.
Great scent! I've learned to spray it in the air and walk through it. Because direct spays onto my clothes is tooooooo strong!
Yes it kind of reminds me of a Ricola cough drop, which I love, but I hate in a perfume bottle, I used to run away from a woman in church who wore it, I never wanted to hug or touch her, I consider AE by Clinique, a contagious serious stinker but effective bugspray and people-repellent .
Aromatics Elixir is magic in a bottle!
This perfume is not for the faint of heart… Its a vibe.
Amazing review. I have two bottles and they both smell different. Very moody fragrance, spray and walk through it is a good way to wear it. AE is amazing on the right chemistry and in the cooler weather.
I HAVE LAYERED CHANEL NO5 and AROMATICS ELIXIR, for 40 years.
It's my signature scent.
They are stunning together.
I wear the Clinique on my chest and back of my neck, and wrists, and I put my Chanel No5 on my ears, neck, and in my hair and on my cheeks.
I barely dab them together.
The Chanel No5 warms up the Aromatics Elixir.
La mejor reseña de aromatics elixir que he escuchado nunca. Felicidades!!
I can't even begin to imagine how the original smelled because the current formulation is absolutely bewitching. The drydown is so deep and fecund and complex and addicting. Girl still gots the real oakmoss in it tooooo. It is criminally cheap and underappreciated.
P.S. I layer this with Guerlain Samsara and it's divine.
My friend favorite perfume and it took me awhile to find out the name of it, she didn’t want anyone to get, once I found it and purchase it, I felt in love with this smell, it lingers in the room when I leave and it stay in their mind….😉
I bought a bottle of this 35yrs ago on holiday, went out that night, and met the man of my dreams who said I smell divine. Married him and still wear the same perfume for him now.
I think it’s pretty. U don’t need a lot and I could always tell when someone has it on. I don’t dare wear it out in public but I do love how it smells on other people. And boy… this sticks on to u like glue🤣🤣🤣
Hi, sweetie. Can u do a video of fragrances that go well with Clinique elixir? I looked it up because I really want to wear it but not alone. Google gave me a list of Chypre perfumes and the 2 that were there and that I love so much are…Chanel Coco Mademoiselle and Chanel Chance, 2 of my favorites.
I worked for Clinique for a little while and absolutely could not stand this fragrance. So "old lady" that it gave me a headache.
I had a coworker who wore this and it smelled like… divine. You know that smell of fresh air when you go hikjng in the woods after a good rain, the air is warm and everything jz green ? It smells like that. Like fresh ozone and butterflies.
I trjed it on myself and what smelled so pretty on her smelled like hot horse piss on me. Lol body chemistry is a huge player in this perfume
Your approach to this perfume by smelling it through the air rather than up close to the skin is the same way I feel about Ted Lapidus Rumba. From a distance it's so rich and complex and sweet and Gorgeous. Up close it's harsh and medicinal. The only perfume I have like it. I want to try this one now.
I don't like this at all on first spray, but I adore it an hour later. The dry-down is divine.
I've worn AE since high school in the late 70s. I apply this by spritzing on my tummy after my shower or before dressing. I always try to apply at least an hour or two before leaving the house or being around others. I NEVER fail to receive compliments on it. With this scent, you really have to know how to use-with respect and reverence. Sometimes during Spring and Summer months I'll use Bottega Veneta, and recently Miu Miu…but AE is the love of my perfume life. My adult kids love to sleep with the pillow I use during visits because of the scent of AE 😊 Thank you for this amazing review. You absolutely nailed it 👍
Due to your poetic review I got myself a travel spray. And I can understand why many feel it's dated (granny perfume). I think however if given the proper amount of time one finds it transcends time and place and it is a true classic.
Although, as stated , it also takes a certain of amount of experience and gravitas. I'm still living with it but I think as I'm turning 50 in 1.5 years this might be my time. It would go great with my colorful kaftans I inherited from my crazy auntie. I have recently decided I have the confidence to wear them with panache they deserve. I get compliments on them all the time. Power matron for the win!!
They make another scent called Wrappings. I was told it was discontinued, but it's not.
Very interesting perspective regarding the smoking. That's 1 of reasons I prefer woodsy, strong perfume.
I agree the formula has changed. However, it's far from Granny perfume. The fact that it's still popular after 51 yrs makes me appreciate it that much more. I call it Grown Lady perfume because it's alluring and speaks the language of sophistication, boldness & maturity. In turn, it can only be interpreted by a woman who's equally Grown. Another good thing about it is; the bottle lasts longer. Less is definitely more with this one.
This was my moms scent and the way it would warm up on her, it would smell sooo good. She had an original formulation and you can still smell it on her old clothing to this day. I bought bottle recently, it’s more mild and wears off faster but now I smell my mom and it warms my soul. I truly love it.
I used to wear and LOVE this fragrance 20 years ago. People would stop and ask me what I'm wearing. Tried it again a few times since then until 2 years ago I was passing by 2 men and heard them ask each other what the "gross smell is" 😂😐 That was the last time. This new formula smells horrible.
Me too , l would definitely buy it again if it went back to its original smell, l have used it for more than 25 years but reading latest comments in the past year or so has put me off buying it, hence I have gone on to buying other perfumes,
This scent has become the bane of my existence. My mother wore it religiously, and everything in her condo picked up the scent. Everywhere I’ve kept some of her things in my house smells like it. This scent will absolutely never go away, it’s been 3 years and it’s still as strong as it ever was. My kids and I joke about “ smells like gram “. Although I don’t like the scent it’s become somewhat comforting & familiar, invoking pleasant memories of my beloved mum.
Hi Dacob. I own this perfume. I have a 1.7 oz. Bottle. I like it. I have a large collection of perfumes and Eau de toilettes. I enjoy my collection. I wear perfumes every day and it makes me think of the fragrance through the day. Thank you for explaining what this perfume is composed of. Take Care.
I wore this in the late 80s. I'm always drawn to this unique perfume.
I absolutely love aromatics elixir yes have to be in the mood for it. On hot days I find it works the best for me. Just stunning fragrance nothing else like it.
I have a 25 ml bottle of Aromatics Elixir and recently I got myself a 90 ml, and the shower gel and body lotion 😄😄When it works, it's pure magic, but yes there are days when it gets very dirty, earthy and soily. But nevertheless, I absolutely love it.
I have been wearing this since inception! That's a long time! It first was produced in a dark brown same shaped bottle, and slightly more unique notes. I am always asked what I am wearing..I NEVER TELL! And so no one would find out, I have saved EVERY empty bottle. I have thousands! TRULY DO! LOL, to say it's my signature scent would be an understatement!!!
Well said and explained….I just got a bottle
So incredible review im 32 and i smell this perfume back in school from my teacher and then befor 8 years befor i still use it love it and love the review ❤❤
Can men's wear it…?
I have been wearing it since it came out!
I have a question why the dark color on some and in others light? I went to Macys and I saw it just a few the color was light but for Mother’s Day I bought me a new one and is kind of dark color?
Elixir was changed without letting the customers know . EU stipulated that oak moss was not allowed in the perfume so it changed but the customers were not alerted. Therefore all those who bought elixir before and since we're sold a puppy. clinique should have been charged with fraud. To charge £100 plus for a perfume which has changed …. not good. The new cliniqu elixir is not a nice perfume at all sadly.
Wow dacob. So I literally just bought this on a blind buy before watching your review. At first spray I was like oh no what have I done. And now I'm thinking wow let's spray it with all saints concrete rain. I have a feeling this might be magic. I will let u know how it goes. I also think it's going to pair well with something vanillary or tobacco like. ❤
I was drawn to this perfume at Ulta so I bought it and it’s just so deep and complex. My favorite scent. Some days it is off putting, but when it’s a good day you just want to envelope yourself in the aroma. It’s also just so grounding.
