Aromatics Elixir Eau De Parfum 100ml Women Perfume (100ml)

I have worn this perfume continually for 30 years. What have they done to it? It's a shadow of its former self. Historically you would spray in the morning and wear all day. Even clothes worn a second time would have a lasting aroma on them days later. Now it's like water and the smell is gone in minutes. It's all about saving money for the manufacturer, not keeping loyal customers happy. I'd prefer they put the price up and brought back the original recipe, not sell this lame copy. I certainly won't be buying it again in its current guise again.

As duty free was out of stock I ordered this perfume online. The packaging was the same but when I tried the perfume I immediately thought I had purchased a FAKE. Nothing about this perfume was the same. I have used this perfume for at least 30 years and have had so many compliments, but this bears no resemblance to the original. It doesn't have the same rich tones and undertones and it lasts less than an hour. I have a tiny amount of the original left and I am treating it like gold. For very special occasions only!!

I have used Aromatics Elixir for 30 years. Its my signature perfume. The bottle I am currently using was bought in June 2023 and its half full. It is not the same as my usual gorgeous Aromatics eau de perfume spray. It smells cheap and is neither the same strength nor the same luxurious quality i have loved all these years. Clinique, please read all the reviews being written about Aromatics and bring back our original much loved elixir as I and many many other women will no longer be buying your brand again.

I have used Aromatics for YEARS!! I always get compliments when I where it. People ask the name of it and have gone to buy it. Now, you have more than watered down the perfume and body moisturizer to the point of not being able to smell it when I wear it. People have stopped asking. You have an outrageous price on itÖand I figured that I was worth it. But WTH??? Why have you diluted the product??? It is NOT worth the price to me if it has lost its potency. I am EXTREMELY disappointed. I will have to look for perfume elsewhere. Not that I want to. But I feel that you have deceived the public who have supported you for years!! Shame on you Clinique! You may have just lost a lot of business. What is your excuse for this??? I would love to know why you have messed with perfection.

Soooooo disappointed that this has been changed. Have worn this perfume for years, always loved it and people used to ask me what it was. The new version has no resemblance to the original and barely has any aroma. Feel cheated out of my money. Surely you should have renamed it instead of passing it off as the same! Having seen similar comments it shows how many of your loyal customers feel duped and disappointed with your company. Cannot understand why you changed such a popular and beautiful perfume.

Totally agree with all the reviews, absolutely changed and spoilt. Just not the same perfume anymore . I have been wearing the perfume for years and years and it stayed wonderful all day and always got loads of compliments. Now I won't buy it at the price for a changed version and so disappointed . I tried a sample the other day and it didn't last long , I couldn't smell it and it had a completely different tone . So I've stopped buying it as well . The colour even looks darker in the bottle.

I lave worn this beautiful perfume for over 40 years. But not any more.., The scent would last for hours but it no longer does My husband says he can't smell it like he used to. You'll loose thousands of customers worldwide with this dreadful new version. Please don't ask me to contact you direct. Please reply here, so everyone else can read your response. I'm not the only one disappointed with the change. I really hope you revert back to the original version. It was absolutely gorgeous.

Like many fragrances used by my generation we find the we return to those ones we loved in the past. I was curious that you mention Oak Moss as a base note. Because, the difference in the new formula was explained in a review I read as being down to the omission of Oak Moss owing to EU rules. Oak Moss being now a conservation issue. So if it's claimed to be in there what is the reason for it smelling so different from the old formula? I have an old bottle with some left and it is much more substantial and full bodied - the fragrance of your current product is that of a knock off product - not like one from the genuine manufacturer. Is it watered down? What's going on Clinique? It's not horrible but it really is so different from before. BTW It's not the only fragrance to suffer in this way.
