Aromatics Elixir (Perfume) - Clinique

Not too shoddy
I have bought sample after sample in an attempt to find something, anything, that I liked. I've tried everything from the latest Miss Dior to niche but to no avail. So, despite the rotten reviews the latest formulation of Aromatics Elixir has had from...

No. 89 (Eau de Toilette) - Floris

Not my cup of tea
Not my cup of tea at all for a perfume or aftershave. For a minute or so the opening smells very slightly of lavender, bergamot, and maybe hiding way way back a touch of nutmeg. In pretty short time everything is taken over by a a surprisingly...

Similar super sickly sweet fruity base to MIss Dior 2021. 2 hours, no trail. I've smelt this type of base a lot. Definitely not my speed.

Fruit super sweet sticky eg Wish and T or D no tuberose. 2 hours, no trail. Different family to original so why called Miss Dior?

On me smells like a slightly more artificial Parfum Sacre (Caron, edp, current bun top). Rather linear, not complex, sweet and pleasant.

Reminds of EA Green Tea but much weaker. A rather bland rendition of jasmine tea and orange blossom. To me way too pricey for what it is .

This seams to be one of those perfumes that doesn't wash off. Four washes with soap and still going strong.

Similar to Fracas tuberose, plus lemon geranium. Rather harsh. I put nut oil/patchouli/rose over top to soften - better balance for me.

Chestnut dries down to sweet, dirty, balsamic, tonka type of affair. Great short opening, poor middle and no nothing dry down on me.

Overpowering Eucalyptus and Camphor. Medicinal and raw.

Very dirty smell on me, like Marmite, balsam, and a bitter myrhh. A bit dirty animalic. Meaty sweet.
Pretty dense.

Old fashioned perfumy bath cubes. Interesting flurry on application ends up like Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden. Lasts full 24 hours on me.

Neat Indole, and a very, very sad topic

What does neat indole smell like to you?Fiddly faddeling around with my table-top chest of drawers filled with little bottles of essential oils and other fragrance related paraphernalia I came across a sealed tin; curious.Opened up said tin and inside were two little bottles of 10% indole and one little bottle of absinthe. I knew I hadn't used the indole for anything... More

Lovely poems! Welcome to Parfumo. :)

What's eating me about all these reformulations is the fact that no matter how forwarned you might be, your forearm is going to be occasionally bitten. Thanks a million and welcome to Parfumo!
