The Clinique brand originated in the United States in the 1960s. From the start, the concept of the brand was simple. Beauty and cosmetic products should be offered which have been tested by doctors, mainly dermatologists. 100% fragrance-free and hypoallergenic, the Clinique brand immediately seduces. The release of the Aromatics Elixir perfume in 1972 turned out to go against the grain of the brand’s policy. Very different from the sanitized image that Clinique possessed at that time, Aromatics Elixir was then defined as a perfume with a strong character.
Aromatics Elixir, a fragrance of character
The chypre family in the spotlight with Aromatics Elixir
Upon its release, Aromatics Elixir was a huge success in the United States. Representing the chypre olfactory family, hitherto fallen into disuse, Aromatics Elixir conveys the idea of a new olfactory chic. Bernard Chant, perfumer in charge of the composition, has succeeded in imagining a timeless and unconventional perfume. Unique with a very assertive character, Aromatics Elixir is noticed from its first aldehyde notes thanks to its metallic accents. Its “soapy” side is also reminiscent of the legendary Chanel N ° 5. The composition takes off on aromatic scents of chamomile, verbena, geranium and clary sage.
Its heart is a floral chypre bouquet that combines Bulgarian rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang and tuberose. The base combines vetiver, oak moss and patchouli. With its appearance of an apothecary vial, Aromatics Elixir looks like a magic potion from another time.
Aromatics Elixir Premier, a fresh and retro variation
The flowery facet of Aromatics Elixir Premier
In 2017, Clinique decided to reinterpret its star fragrance, Aromatics Elixir. Aromatics Elixir Premier is a fragrance that has retained all the soul of its predecessor. Far from fashion trends, Aromatics Elixir Premier embodies an art of living. Mysterious and captivating, Aromatics Elixir Premier is a rare fragrance that appeals to all who approach it. The composition begins with the freshness of bergamot, associated with the aromatic tone of verbena.
The heart is floral-chypre and combines rose, jasmine, tuberose and patchouli. Finally, the base mixes myrrh, oak moss, vetiver and musks. The bottle has exchanged its simplicity with a very worked glass. In the shape of a transparent pebble, the glass is sculpted with a flower on the front, letting the golden yellow color of the precious nectar shine through.
