Pearly Porcelain White Aroma
The white theme in fragrances is something that arouse a certain fear to the care it will be given into the creative part of the fragrance, even more when it is a perfumery classic like Aromatics Elixir. White many times is an excuse for a formula cheapening, the launchment of a composition loaded in musks, flat, verging on functional. However, i see that both clinique and the perfumer responsible for this creation had care in the creation of this Aromatics in White e aimed with the fragrance into a white texture that reminds me in parts a pearly white and in parts a fine white opaque porcelain - so, there is a synesthesia here between the name, bottle and aroma itself.
Aromatics White for me recapitulates some oriental fragrances of similar notes, in special 3 perfumes: Boucheron Initial, Cartier Le Baiser du Dragon and Christian Dior Midnight Poison. From all, what it comes most closer is Le Baiser Du Dragon (and even more closer to its dry body oil version). From Initial, Aromatics in White share the same dinamics of the peppery aroma, the roses, patchouli and almonds, but without having the powdery and honey accords. With Midnight Poison, it seems to share the same luminous amber aura, one slightly bitter that seems to wrap the roses, just here this aura is less noticeable. And with Le Baiser du Dragon it shares the same kind of almonds, that i suspect being here the effect of the combination between roses, musk and the violet leaf. There is something slightly salty from the Le Baiser almonds here, that completes the scenario of pearly roses, salty slightly plastic patchouli and the also slightly pearly and salty musks of the base.
By creating a modern composition around the main accord of its precursor, In white at the same time also honors without plagiarism intereting fragrances that were discontinued over the time, keeping itself inside its propostion both modern and at the same time pearly and white. It's an example of a well done design from all possible aspects.
