The best part? It’s less than £30 for a large bottle on Amazon. Clinique Aromatics Elixir Perfume Spray 100ml, priced at £28.99, has earned an impressive 4.6-star rating with a total of 3.5k reviews from purchasers who describe it as ‘beautiful’, ‘nostalgic’ and ‘long-lasting’. With a 100ml bottle costing £92 on Clinique’s own website, the Amazon deal will save you £63 now that’s a bargain not to be missed! If Amazon’s stock depletes, don’t worry; you can also get a 100ml bottle for a similar price of £28.90 here from Allbeauty. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to label this Clinique EDP as an icon in the world of fragrances – a true cult favourite that’s been capturing hearts for years. Perfumers categorise it as a ‘chypre’, which is a fancy way of saying a scent that’s all about those warm, woodsy, and slightly earthy notes. What makes this perfume so special? 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.

One thrilled customer exclaimed: “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 Elexir 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 wrote nostalgically: “Old favourite I decided to but on a whim – transported back to the days I used to wear it – beautiful fragrance, VERY long lasting and an amazing price for 100ml! ” Meanwhile, a third shared: “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 shopper gushed: “My perfume smelled really lovely people commented me on it and asked what the perfume was called,”. Yet, not everyone was completely satisfied despite the numerous high ratings. One reviewer offered a less enthusiastic take: “The fragrance was weaker than normal and wore off very quickly,” providing a contrast to the overwhelming praise. Snap up a bottle while you can, but if you’re on the hunt for another hit that’s sure to delight with its long-lasting and widely adored aroma, DKNY’s Be Delicious Fresh Blossom is now a steal at £39 for 100ml in the post-summer sale, reports the Mirror. One happy customer gushed about the iconic noughties fragrance, saying: “I just love the scent so much. Have been using it for a while. My grandkids associate it with me.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
