Clinique Simply Clinique is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Raymond Matts and Ron Winnegrad. Simply Clinique opens with Jasmine and Melon, settles into a heart of Gourmand, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, and Vanilla. Clinique's Simply Clinique carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This discontinued gem is proper divisive; a love-it-or-hate-it affair, yet those who love it are practically begging Clinique to bring it back. It's truly unique, playing with creamy, watery, and subtly spicy notes that some find comforting and others just plain weird.

Its soft, comforting profile and moderate sillage make it suitable for casual wear or the office, where it won't overwhelm. While unique, it's not overtly 'sexy' for all date scenarios, and the creamy sweetness might be out of place in very formal settings.

About

Simply Clinique defies easy categorisation. It kicks off with a fresh, almost watery melon, quickly transitioning to a creamy, slightly sweet gourmand heart, reminiscent of soy milk or rice pudding. The base settles into a warm blend of soft woods and vanilla, with a persistent, intriguing hint of something like anise or liquorice peeking through, giving it a unique, almost lactonic warmth.
