I think it is too pungent! It was strong and just wouldn't work with my chemistry! I can't describe it only that it is somehow medicinal and offensive. Sorry Clinique, you just can't win them...

I first began wearing this fragrance in the early '90's. Loved it! Loved the undertones and, as others have said, many would ask the name of the fragrance I was wearing because they loved it. ...

Remember Opium...? And those who bathed in it...? I'm having bad flashbacks to the late eighties.

No disrespect intended to those who love this; but this scent causes gagging and instant migraine in large segments of the population. I have been forced to swiftly move away from people in public...

I can understand the negative reviews. This scent can be sharp and dated. However, I was at the clinique counter and decided to try the cream. It does start off strong, but soon morphs into...

Gosh... when i was given a bottle of this ELIXIR as sample, i was totally turned off by the pungent powdery old woman smell!! Whatever drove CLINIQUE to name this as an ELIXIR?? Perhaps when i come...

I love this scent. It's fresh and unique. I notice that this scent in particular really can vary from person to person. A little spritz goes a long way so I have to control myself when applying it.

What's worse than the overpowering & nauseating trail of a passerby wearing Aromatics Elixir, is being locked inside a car with it. I was so carsick as a child; it was my mother's signature scent...

This is one of my favorite fragrances. I tend to move away from all the fresh, floral, fruity smells of today. There are so many on the market...to me they all begin to smell the same. Not this...

I just recently tried this parfum again and I have to say, I love it! A few years ago I smelled like a skunk with this on. I'm not sure what's changed, but now it smells absolutely heavenly. A...

I get tons of compliments when I wear this, even people stopping me to ask what I am wearing. Heavy, woody and spicy - a gutsy fragrance that will stay with you all day long.

I had a sample of this about 10 years ago (GWP). I spritzed a little on and one of my co-workers had a major asthma attack. A few months later I spritzed it on and got a major headache, ended up...

This smells overpoweringly old ladyish to me. In my mind the scent evokes a picture of damp wardrobe filled with old-fashioned moth-eaten women's clothes... Perhaps it just doesn't work well with...

Well, I love chypres and I love patchouli, so despite the negative rating here the descriptions here made me hopeful, so I spritzed this the last time I was in Macy's. Wish I hadn't, I hate it and...

This was a free sample that I got from Clinique.com. I had been curious to try it - and man, most of the other reviews are spot-on. This stuff is AWFUL! I've never before had to go wash a perfume...

Yes, this is a strong fragrance, and that is probably one of the main reasons I love Aromatics Elixir. It is a wonderful, earthy green scent that despite the heavy patchouli actually smells quite...
