Clinique Aromatics in Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Aromatics in Black opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Plum, settles into a heart of Neroli, Jasmine, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Tonka Bean, and Myrrh. Clinique's Aromatics in Black carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Aromatics in Black is an opulent, resinous floral that radiates plush warmth without ever feeling heavy-handed. It balances creamy florals, smoky resins, and a subtle fruity sweetness for a quietly confident, modern classic.

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.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
