Clinique has launched Aromatics Black Cherry, a new fragrance for women. Aromatics Black Cherry is a flanker to to 1971’s Aromatics Elixir.
Pretty and decadent, Clinique Aromatics Black Cherry boasts a jewel-like intensity with a wealth of rare florals set aglow by the warmth of cardamom and sultry, exotic spices.
Clinique Aromatics Black Cherry is available now at Harrods in the UK, £80 for 100 ml.

They seem to be straying very far afield from the idea, and the greatness, of Aromatics Elixir. The name sounds more like a soft drink or a cough drop than a perfume.
Agree, although you could have fun with the idea of a black cherry AE — but based on the last two AE flankers, suspect it might not be my idea of fun.
You COULD have fun with it, and this might actually be good. I just think the odds are against that. I’ll probably still give it a sniff if it should drift into my orbit.
I can’t picture a fruity AE but what do I know? I’ll still try it!
Sadly, I might like it better fruity.
“Pretty and decadent, Clinique Aromatics Black Cherry boasts a jewel-like intensity with a wealth of rare florals set aglow by the warmth of cardamom and sultry, exotic spices.”
A spicy floral? Okay, I get it. But why the name Black Cherry? That promises fruit, and that is not the Aromatics way?
Someone on Twitter says there’s a Black Cherry lipstick? So wondering if that’s the connection / reason.
Ah- ha. So Clinique does make really lovely lipsticks and glosses, so that may be it. However, Clinique has never really made a connection with their color cosmetics, skin care or fragrances!
I thought that was Black Honey?
There us a Black Honey, yes. One of their iconic products.
Clinique trying to get a share of that “Petite Robe Noire” pie?
Yep, you nailed it.
I’ll certainly give this one a sniff….whenever it FINALLY hits Belk. Seems to take Belk quite a while to get new perfumes, but that’s OK…
Maybe it will be here in time for fall? Sounds kind of “autumny” to me!
These are two concepts I just can’t put together in my head. I love black cherries and cherry as a note in general, and am damn near obsessive about AE, but when I try to throw them in my mental blender, I blow a fuse. Does. not. compute.
But yeah, I’ll still try it.
