Clinique Aromatics in Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Best suited for autumn and winter due to its resinous, ambery base, creamy florals and plush fruit. Its warmth and moderate projection make it comforting in cool weather, while the rich blend can be too heavy for hot summer days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its elegant, mysterious character fits formal and date settings, while moderate projection and lack of cloying sweetness allow for office and casual wear. Too plush and enveloping for sport or high-activity occasions.

About

Aromatics in Black envelopes you in a tapestry of plush plum, tart grapefruit, and airy bergamot that quickly settles into a heart of jasmine sambac and osmanthus, their white petals tinged with apricot and greenery. Beneath, a wave of myrrh and tonka bean unfurls, lending a creamy, smoky, and powdery depth, with dry vetiver and a gentle vanilla echo in the background. The overall effect is mysterious, elegant, and quietly sensual - a modern floriental that never shouts but leaves a lingering, confident impression.
