Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aromatics in White
This isn't your mum's Aromatics Elixir, so don't expect it. It's a clean, musky rose-patchouli with a gentle powderiness that's divisive: some adore its subtle charm and creamy warmth, while others find it too mild or dated, wishing for more projection and longevity.

Our Verdict - Clear Substance For Women
A budget take on Clinique's Aromatics in White - a clean, soapy-powdery rose lifted with violet leaf and Sichuan pepper over a soft amber-patchouli base. Clear Substance lands the milky-rose signature but reads slightly more synthetic and flatter, missing the incense-tinged depth and 6-8 hour staying power of the original.
