More from Clinique
Calyx Eau de Parfum
Eau de Parfum (EDP). Tart grapefruit and guava, then clean rose and neroli; in wearers' telling, green leaves and oakmoss leave the finish damp and leafy.
Aromatics Elixir Eau de Parfum Spray
Eau de Parfum (EDP). Earthy patchouli and oakmoss carry dry, bitter-green flowers, and that mossiness reads as deep and woody to some reviewers, austere and medicinal to others.
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.
