Estee Lauder founded Clinique in 1968 as an allergy-tested and dermatologist-formulated skin care company.  Aromatics Elixir was their first perfume in 1971 and continues to garner awards for its formulation and unique approach to perfumery.  

A Clinique perfume sample of Aromatics Elixir or Happy would be good examples of their classic and modern perfumes.
