It’s a joke that after 40 years, the ‘white’ version of Aromatics Elixir, so mythical and characterful, came out without anyone getting excited, and now they’re releasing the ‘dark’ one with just five ingredients, one of which is ‘synthetic fruits.’ At least this one has myrrh to try and fit its spiritual and relaxing concept. We’ll have to try it. It seems Clinique is trying to imitate YSL with their late flankers; while Opium maintains coherence across its versions for different occasions, we’ll see if they regain their footing after three discreet launches.
I loved it… The herbal and powdery heart absolutely blows my mind!
Absolutely stunning. Aromatics Elixir Noir isn’t for me due to its toasty warmth, but it’s the best in the mass market in years. It smells like a witch, a sorcerer, and European fairy tale villains. The longevity is spectacular, and at sixty euros, it’s a gem you’re grateful for in these times of cheap knockoffs. It opens strong and insolent, with smoky herbal notes and hints of beeswax, creating an ambiguous and diabolical introduction. At first, it seems like a masculine perfume—poisonous and thick—until the jasmine and white flowers reveal its true face: oily, animalic jasmine and neroli, reinforced by tonka vanilla that gives it a metallic, herbaceous, and sharp edge like a dagger. Here, it smells like Fleur du Male, but more dangerous and sexual. As it dries down, it becomes more common, flirting with gourmand notes; the skin scent is earthy, warm, and reminiscent of crushed cookies, sweet yet woody and wintery, like a Grimm’s fairy tale. I don’t quite catch the myrrh, but it’s surely there. I needed to try it to complete the Aromatics trio in Spain, with the original being my favorite and the white version a surprise. This black one, even though I don’t like it due to the tonka, is a small hidden gem, tucked away among pink bottles. If you like narcotic and witchy perfumes, don’t let it slip away.
What a weird and beautiful perfume. I’ve never heard anything like it, and it’s not that I think it’s super original, but it’s a scent that’s between clean, dark, and gloomy (and I assure you I wasn’t swayed by its bottle, which also seems very nice, simple but very beautiful). A perfume that could be a daily wear (because it’s not overpowering) but that makes you, during the hours it lasts (4 to 6 hours), feel surrounded by a mysterious trail and, as I’ve mentioned, clean, very clean, bordering on soapy (but a modern soap… nothing like those classics, which, by the way, I love). Without a doubt, this perfume is a counterpoint. Notes where none stand out to take the spotlight, making it very attractive and interesting. Perfect for a witch (as Dame de Noir describes), but a clean witch, very intellectual, studying how to stop the coronavirus from her little lost spot in a lush Andean forest, for example. Truly, I think it’s a super perfume worth considering.
A rare and gorgeous perfume, I’ve never smelled anything like this. It seems super original, a clean, dark, and gloomy scent (and I’m not fooled by the bottle, which is also lovely, simple, and pretty). It could be a daily wear because it’s not overpowering, but it leaves you surrounded by a mysterious and very clean trail for 4 to 6 hours, bordering on soapy but modern, nothing like those classics I love. It’s definitely a counterpoint. The notes don’t stand out to take the spotlight, which makes it very attractive and interesting. For a witch, as LaDameDeNoir says, but neat, intellectual, and studying how to stop the coronavirus from her lost cabin in a lush Andean forest… 🤗 It’s truly a super perfume worth considering.
I was lucky to find it at a great price; it reminded me of Alien by Mugler, probably because of the jasmine; this one has its touch of tonka and myrrh, while Alien has woods. I like this Clinique presentation more. It lasts its worth. I never apply perfume unless I’ve just had a shower, and from that point on, I can say it lasts. It’s a happy perfume.
So gorgeous! It’s a work of art. I bought three bottles in case they take it off the market; it’s super nocturnal, vampiric, and magical. I own the Dior Addict, and while they’re similar, this one is more for night. I’m head over heels.
Beautiful, a work of art. I had to get three bottles in case they discontinue it: so nocturnal, so vampiric, so enigmatic. I own Dior Addict, and while they are similar, this one is more nocturnal. I’m in love.
Woods, jasmine, and resins. That’s what stands out most, along with the tonka bean that’s there from start to finish. It feels wintery, enveloping, warm, and a bit powdery.
I was let down terribly by this perfume. I had read its composition and reviews and expected something much more enigmatic. Oh, I want to be a witch too, I thought, and I headed straight to a store eager to try it before they reformulated it, hoping to find something like Magie Noire by Lancôme. It doesn’t smell bad, but I think only lovers of perfumes like Lou Lou by Cacharel will appreciate it, as it reminds me of it remarkably in some phases.
I discovered that if you mix a sample vial with 30ml of glycerin, the aroma doesn’t dissolve but is potentiated because glycerin is a fixative, and that’s what I did with this sample; now I have 30ml of this wonderful perfume that I apply to my hands and décolletage. It doesn’t contain amber, but it smells like dark ambergris mixed with vetiver. Very elegant. Without a doubt, when I finish this bottle, I’ll buy a full one.
Woods, jasmine, and resins. That’s what’s most noticeable, along with the tonka bean note that’s present from start to finish. The fragrance feels winter-like, enveloping, warm, and slightly powdery.
If you got scared off by Aromatics Elixir (especially the vintage), here comes In Black, something different, without fear of proposing itself as a well-balanced fragrance that deserves more attention. It stays soft but perceptible for many hours after application, despite starting quite intense with a classic style that caught my eye. It’s a perfume that manages to draw the eye toward autumn, nostalgic for the summer just passed and grateful for this season, perfect for dressing up something more substantial. After a notable bitter-citrus prelude, the jasmine kicks in very quickly, though I expected it to have more prominence; it feels almost rooted. Over the hours, the perception changes completely, and I’m surrounded by a cloud of jasmine with woody and balsamic nuances that stays with me for a long time. The scent now becomes almost mystical, thanks to the blend with beautiful resins like slightly smoky myrrh floating over it, accompanied by a delicate caramel note and sweet powdery aromas like tonka bean. In this phase, it reminds me of the sensual, inimitable classic perfumery of the 80s; it’s an Aromatics that radiates calm but awakens all the senses. I’ve liked it; I don’t usually focus on perfumes at my age, but it seems perfect for a woman over 30.
Reminds me of Hypnotic Poison EDP, but it’s not a dupe. I thought both would be more potent, but they aren’t; however, they last and embrace with warmth and an enigmatic touch. Overall, I love it. I can’t identify the notes separately, but I like them all. I find it warm, sensual, and resinous—not too floral, but more like a chipper with sweet amber or a very original resin, perfect for autumn/winter, day and night, versatile but with a seductive edge. It’s not for many daily occasions. The Dior Addict is also around. I have the In White, and it’s much more potent, an intense rose. Both have good performance and aren’t expensive, being excellent quality. I prefer the black one because it’s more original.

Both have great longevity and aren’t expensive, offering excellent quality; I prefer the black one because it’s more original.
Wow, it relaxes me so much when I use it; I feel like I’m in an elegant spa. It’s my perfume when I’m stressed. I think you can smell the notes that make it up.
Wow, this relaxes me so much when I wear it; I feel like I’m in an elegant spa. It’s my go-to perfume when I’m stressed. The notes are clearly noticeable.
Bought it blind and the first impression is that it’s very similar to two I own: First Snow by Victorinox (FS is simpler, with fresh mint and a camphor touch) and Intense pour Femme by S.T. Dupont (this one is a bit sweeter and creamier). It gives off a vintage vibe, reminding me of perfumes from the 80s or 90s. Very rich; we’ll see how the longevity holds up with wear, but as they say around here, it could be the scent of a luxury spa.
