Overview

Aromatics in White by Clinique is a Amber Floral fragrance for women.Aromatics in Whitewas launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is Nicolas Beaulieu. Top notes are Labdanum, Sichuan Pepper and Violet Leaf; middle notes are Rose, Patchouli and Orange Blossom; base notes are Musk, Amber, Benzoin and Vanilla.White color definitely replaces the years-long trend of black color. One fragrance in the long line of very interesting editions arrives from the house of Clinique as a successor of the classic from 1971—Aromatics Elixir. As the oldest fragrance of the house of Clinique, Aromatics Elixir takes special place in the collection of the house but also an envious place for the quality of the composition in the perfume industry in general. Its chypre-floral composition highlights tart floral essences of carnation and rose, cooled with aldehydes and moss.The opulence of aromas of Aromatics Elixir has been modernized with Aromatics Elixir Sheer Velvet Philtre Sensuel from 2006 and Aromatics Elixir Perfumer's Reserve from 2011, and in Autumn 2014 the new face of the first Clinique fragrance receives sophisticated contemporary style."I have always been fascinated with the magic of Aromatics Elixir and its attraction on the skin. I wanted to convey that feeling with a new, modern composition," stated perfumer Nicolas Beaulieu on the occasion of creating Aromatics in White.In October 2014 Clinique presents Aromatics in White, a women’s fragrance which lures with tart notes of Sichuan pepper, elegant violet leaves and labdanum in top notes. The gentle transition towards the heart comes with floral shades of roses and orange blossom, surrounded with patchouli, creating a harmonious union of floral and earthy textures. Depth and sensual aromas are ensured by leather musk, intertwined with warm grey amber, benzoin and vanilla. United this way, they leave a soft, oriental signature in the base. The new composition by Clinique is signed by perfumer Nicolas Beaulieu.Fragrance Aromatics in White arrives in a white flacon following the style and form of its antecedents, and has been modernized with an elegant white cap. The flacon has been embellished discretely with golden color details (a thin rim on the cap and name inscribed in gold). Expected on the market on November 1, 2014.

Buying advice in plain language

If you are deciding on Aromatics in White, start with wear context instead of hype. Ask where you will use it most: office, casual daytime, or evening social settings. That single choice filters almost every buying decision because freshness, sweetness, and projection read very differently depending on environment.

Then use this page in three steps. First, scan the notes and accord profile to understand the scent direction. Second, check longevity and projection hints to estimate how it may behave on your skin. Third, open one or two comparisons to see trade-offs against similar perfumes. This avoids buying a fragrance that is good in isolation but wrong for your routine.

A practical shortlist is one signature scent plus one contrast option from the same brand family. That gives flexibility without over-collecting. If Aromatics in White fits your use case, sample first and compare it with one related option below before committing to a full bottle.
