Simply Clinique by Clinique

Well, another one of my all time favorites that many seem to dislike:) To me this is utterly unique. Creamy, fresh, comforting, lightly spiced and overall just an ahhhhhh fragrance. Like an anise-scented milky tea. This one you need to let develop on your skin as it becomes creamier the longer you wear it. Sadly discontinued....

dont exactly know how to put it,, but it makes me feel clean, innocent, and comfortable!

I really like this one. I bought it on a cruise and I must have smelt 100's of perfumes before i found this one. It is VERY different... it weirdly enough reminds me of watermelon crossed with licorice. The best thing about this perfume is it originality and its extremely long wearing... (lasts the longest out of all my perfumes!!)

I totaly disagree with susiegrj.I find simply quite a different than usual aroma.I had it from 2004 and
i find it very nice ,floral soft and powderry.The body lotion is sweet reminding me fields of flowers.The soya bean gives the sense of smelling the countryside after a heavy rain.It is great for my taste ,but ...hey..it is me i am talking.

I don't like it. It's very weird, sort of bitter, that kind of smell that makes you want to wash your hands quickly to get rid of it.
Even a perfume shop owner told me not to buy it (when I asked about Simply on a perfume community).
I don't recommend it.

I love soymilk, woods and smoky scents so why did I dislike Simply? That's simple ;) because I don't smell any of those notes! This has an off quality to me that I just can't get my head around. I smell alot of anise at the start too, and I normally like anise (in moderate quantities) but this almost makes me sneeze. I also smell flowers and a weird fruity smell like fig or something...I'm just really struggling to pick out notes in this and I'm normally not this bad. It's not the worst perfume I've smelled, but it certainly doesnt smell like any of the listed notes to me, it smells like a strange fruit and floral mixture - in fact it almost has a medicinal quality to it and I don't like it. I can understand why it's been DC'd. Whatever the medicinal scent is, I can tell that that is what was supposed to give this fragrance it's warmth, but on me this just doesn't work.

very nauseating, never felt like that about a perfume, I am getting into the shower, now!

i simply love this - although I have to say that the topnotes to me just smell of anise, which I don't like much. For half an hour I have to ignore how I smell - than there is the drydown - fresh earthy smell, wih a tad of white flowers.
How different 'smell' buds can be:to my sister it's a fruity scent, although she too, smelled the anise strongly.
I don't feel sexy with it, just clean and nice. And on me I need warm weather for it to develop nicely - in winter it stays too sharp...

Im afraid I hate this perfume and I bought it without even trying it, just because it is Clinique... (I love Happy). For some reason something strange happens and it smells revolting on my skin, like the green slime in a fishpond mixed with milk. It actually makes me feel ill lol... Bizarre...

I got this through a swap here and I have to say it's very unusual. I like the dry down better than the top notes. I've been testing it now for 2 days and it's so different from anything I have that I will stay with it for now and enjoy it. It's a simple and calming fragrance. You definitely have to like the smell of soy to enjoy this one. It's so simple, think soy, mild and vanilla! that's it! It's one of those fragrances that's so different from anything out there, that you want to keep giving it a chance to see if you grow to love it.

This is my absolute favorite and I cant find anything comparable now that it is discontinued. The best is when you smell your rist 12 hours after you sprayed it and it smells like heaven.

Maddyrain

A simple fragrance that smells most of the time like soy milk. But you must really like the smell or taste of soy, as it's the main component of this weird fragrance.

Men can use it without any problem, as it's not too floral or girlie. It would be a nice option to use at work.

Akvamarina

it is simply a smell of love for me, I love it with all my heat

Malibu

I used to love this one, it was a great choice for autumn/winter (it's almost suffocating in warmer weather).

It is uncluttered, inoffensive to other people & can be worn to work or play. I can’t really describe the scent, just the feelings it provokes; but it is warm, comforting & is just like a second skin.

The staying power is good & I love the simplicity of the bottle design.

WardrobeMistress

Really not for me, it definitely has some something aniseed-ish in there which gives me a headache!

PAPrincess

I really like this one. It honestly makes you feel warm and cozy. Not a fragrance I would wear year round. Definitely a fall/winter scent.

Moszatka

Yes, it's really anise and not suitable for me. But very special fragrance.

NuriaRose

i always thought that there is Anise inside ... its like a Greeck drink , apparently this smell came form the soya ...i like this perfume very much- buy it if you like it becuz its discountinued

liat

As much as I like it, it's very simple. You'd wear it for work or for going to the park with the kids. It’s just not the right scent for feeling sexy and all.

sheridanellis

This is so comforting...it has been compared to "mother's milk". I apologize if that "grosses" anyone out, but it is supposed to be sweet, mesmerizing, enchanting, and draw you in with notes of cream and slight spice. I do not get the "beach" feel at all. More of a curl up with a book, sweater and cup of cocoa on a rainy day in late October....

pearl

It is the smell of staying at the beach all day in the end of August... difficult to describe, it reminds me of summer holidays when I was a child... great scent.

guest_Etro

I got 2 of it when first time that I smelled. Can u imagine you're wearing a white shirt and go outside on sunny day.
It makes you calm and very cleaning.
It's makes me calm down when everything
so complicated, just take a shower and wearing it.Try it! So simply!!

vertigo

i absolutely adore this one.
it's so soft, smooth, sensual and clean :)
