Aromatics Elixir is marketed by Clinique as an “intriguing non-conformist fragrance." Chandler Burr writes of its depth and shadows, and it's described by many reviewers as "a chypre on steroids." I find all of these things to be true, and more. It is a bitter, balsamic, menacingly astringent blend of cool, otherworldly woods and sour alien herbs, abstract florals and austere resins. Verbena and geranium, jasmine and oakmoss, bergamot and patchouli–all of the familiar notes for a classic and yet it feels out of time, wholly strange and new, as if it contains a strain of alien DNA. Like it’s been floating through the void of space in a cavernous non-Euclidean construct, the monstrous pressure and eerie whistle of the air ducts it's been hiding in slowly driving it mad as it drifts a silent path through the cold stars, utterly alone. If this being had a message for us from across that cosmic ocean of emptiness, it would surely reach us after its death. Such a transmission from that dread abyss is the scent of Aromatics Elixir.

I appreciate it and it has been forever my mother's signature scent but call me crazy but I have this mindset that a perfume does not have to kill you in order to be considered a good perfume... Being in the same room with my mother right after she has applied this can and will kill me and my poor allergic nose, but I have associated it with fond and warm thoughts once it dried down and could hug my mom again! Maybe due to my personal circumstances, I consider it a classic super strong mature lady scent, and not so unisex.
