Finding the ideal perfume can be a challenge, but thousands of scent enthusiasts reckon they’ve discovered the top one for both daytime and evening wear – and it costs less than £30 on Amazon.
Clinique Aromatics Elixir Perfume Spray (100ml), priced at £28.25, has earned an impressive 4.6-star rating based on over 3,500 reviews from purchasers who describe it as ‘beautiful’, ‘nostalgic’ and ‘long-lasting’. Priced at £92 for the same bottle on Clinique’s own website, this Amazon’s deal will save shoppers over £63 off the RRP.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to label this Clinique EDP as an icon in the fragrance world – a true cult favourite that’s been capturing hearts for years. Perfume buffs have hailed it as a ‘chypre’, which is fancy lingo for a scent that’s all about those warm, woodsy, and slightly earthy notes.
It’s made from a staggering 700 ingredients, blending together to create a long-lasting, confident fragrance that feels both sensuous and sophisticated. You’ve got the richness of vetiver, the earthy depth of oakmoss and the boldness of patchouli, all softened by the floral notes of ylang-ylang and rose, reports The Mirror.
One thrilled shopper shares: “Great price. I haven’t bought this perfume for at least twenty years but I thought I’d try it again. I always wear perfume and have no comments. Wearing the Elixir Aromatic for just a week, I have had so many good comments out of the blue. One example was in a supermarket queue where the bloke behind me said to the woman he was with, ‘Oh wow can you smell that beautiful scent? ‘ I knew it was me because of all the other comments I have had. I kept smugly quiet.”

Another writes: “Old favourite I decided to buy on a whim – transported back to the days I used to wear it – beautiful fragrance, VERY long lasting and an amazing price for 100ml!”
While a third adds: “I’ve actually purchased this before a couple of times from here as it’s the best value for money and it smells so good….its actually one of my favourite perfumes. I most definitely would recommend.”
A fourth gushed: “My perfume smelled really lovely people commented me on it and asked what the perfume was called.”
However, despite the thousands of 4 or 5-star reviews, there were a few mediocre scores, with criticising the strength. It read: “The fragrance was weaker than normal and wore off very quickly.”
