Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive sort. Some rave about its peppery rose charm, while others are left cold by its poor staying power and eye-watering price tag. You'll either get it, or you won't. If you're going to splurge, just make sure you're getting some decent wear out of it.
A herbal chypre dupe of Clinique Aromatics Elixir. The aromatic bergamot-chamomile opening and mossy base direction are faithful; overall power is milder than the Clinique original's signature intensity.
