Scent description (editorial impression)
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. Admirers call it happiness in a bottle and collect summer compliments; detractors call it cheap and flat, even like sunscreen, and several get an hour or two before it fades.
Drawn from 27 independent reports across 2 venues.
