How can I tell whether a bottle of Calyx Eau de Parfum is the current formulation?
A batch code alone does not tell you which formula is in a bottle.
To check a particular bottle, ask Clinique or the retailer about its batch code. Owners' side-by-side comparisons are not confirmation from the house.
What does the concentration label on Calyx Eau de Parfum mean?
Calyx Eau de Parfum is sold as Eau de Parfum (EDP), a label generally used for a higher fragrance concentration than eau de toilette.

Happy for Men Eau de Toilette
Eau de Toilette (EDT). Clinique brings out the lemon press and the mandarin peeler, as one reviewer puts it: a bright citrus with a herbal, marine cool, one wearer's first fragrance friend and another's turn-of-the-millennium gift.
