Aromatics Elixir is my favorite fragrance, but I may like this edition even better than the original. It seems to hit all the notes that the body smoother does, resulting in a soapier, cleaner, muskier scent. Far, far less patchouli in this version. I like patchouli but I like sandalwood and musk more and this is heavy on both, though the scent is lighter and airier than the original for all of that. It’s more floral than the original, too. They really are very complimentary and would be nice to wear together or separately, depending on what notes you are craving more. The bottle is gorgeous. The price is…not. I’m plotting the purchase of another bottle anyway. I’m sure this will be discontinued and I will cry.

This showed up at my work today. Its $126 here in Canada… for 25mL! I want it anyway I love AE and this sounds phenomenal. Funny thing, a year ago when I still was working for Clinique a client came in looking for this. She showed me a picture and I was dumbfounded. I had never heard of it and was instantly obsessed with getting my hands on some. So time to save my pennies I guess.

A haunting and nostalgic take on the rose chypre, considerably more rounded than the original and rather different than Aromatics Elixir Perfumer’s Reserve.
Here, many of sharper, brighter, and greener notes of the original are subdued, the rose is more prominent, and jasmine and orange blossom are much more up front. It’s a softer, richer, more floral take on the Aromatics Elixir perfume, and in my opinion, an improvement on it.
A quality rose chypre is a rarity in the 2010’s, and this perfume feels like it’s from another era (it would fit in well with the chypres of the ’70s).
Well worth tracking down, despite its Harrods exclusive status.

owning three bottles,,
the notes written here makes me proud of purchasing 3, I’m thinking of purchasing another one or tow!
bergamot-lemon verbena-clary sage-orange blossom-rose-jasmine sambac-tuberose-patchouli-myrrh-vetiver-moss-musk… this “plethora” of highly prized essential oils in “aromatherapy” science increase my appetite for more..I guess aromatherapy is ALL about smelling/wearing scents since the dawn of humanity. These raw materials are well known for their “spiritual” properties too, go on read them again, they are appreciated in every culture and religion of this planet Earth I guarantee you.
I’m doing more searching about Madame Estee Lauder and her concept behind this perfume, she wanted an Aromatherapy product, to heal and cure “soul” and “spirit” of the user, not just a perfume or cologne… especially that “Eastern” teachings were invading the wild west starting from 60’s and all the 70’s, the time this scent born.
I’m in love with this and the classic AE.. it is my “go to” perfume during fatigue or laziness times, it is even good on early mornings and will not hurt my empty fragile stomach that time..

This smells like AE mixed with a little La Perla. I love it. Classic chypre, definately AE but more floral and not as peppery. A winner.

Oh No! Not in the USA?
I would buy it un-smelt.

It seems it is going to be a limited edition, only available at London’s Harrods.
The notes recall me the Aromatics Elixir Perfumer’s Reserve Edition.
Pity, this is a perfume that I really want to have. I do not understand what is the point of such releases.

Notes are exactly those of the original except for the absence of resins and labdanum. I’m curious. Beautiful version of the bottle.
