Aromatics Elixir, released by Clinique in 1971 and composed by Bernard Chant, is presented as feminine and is mainly floral, with a woody side and smaller green, citrus, spicy and fresh touches.
The opening is herbal and bitter-fresh: chamomile and clary sage give an aromatic, slightly medicinal character, while bergamot and aldehydes add a bright, soapy lift. The heart is a rich, dense bouquet: rose, jasmine and carnation bring a velvety, spicy floral fullness. The base is classic chypre: oakmoss gives a damp, mossy depth, patchouli an earthy darkness and vetiver a dry, rooty finish that lingers on skin and clothes.
Wearers report exceptional staying power, with many calling it almost endless, and its sillage is described as strong or even enormous, so one spray goes a long way. It is voted mainly for winter and autumn, and evenly between day and night. It suits formal occasions and cooler days, for someone who likes a bold, herbal and mossy chypre with a distinctive, old-school character.
