Clinique Aromatics Elixir Sheer Velvet Philtre Sensuel is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Trudi Loren. Aromatics Elixir Sheer Velvet Philtre Sensuel opens with Green Notes, Bergamot, Orange Blossom, and Rosewood, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Clinique's Aromatics Elixir Sheer Velvet Philtre Sensuel carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Aromatics Elixir Sheer Velvet Philtre Sensuel is a rich, old-school floral with a green, mossy backbone. White flowers, rose and iris sit over oakmoss and patchouli, so it feels formal and a little dramatic. Best for anyone who likes florals grown-up and unapologetic.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Spring Fall

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and softer profile make it more office-friendly than its potent parent. The elegant floral chypre structure also lends itself well to formal events and sophisticated date nights, though it's less suited for casual wear or sport.

About

This extrait opens with a green, aldehydic burst of chamomile, coriander and bergamot, with rosewood and orange blossom adding a soft sweetness. The heart is a dense bouquet of ylang-ylang, rose, iris, carnation, lily of the valley, jasmine and tuberose. The base turns deep and earthy with oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli, while coconut and musk smooth the edges. It reads as a powdery, mossy floral with a lot of presence and a classic feel.
