The scent was too under-powering for some.

Since Clinique is known for its hypoallergenic range of high end cosmetics that are free of fragrances, it seems a bit of an oxymoron to see that they offer a line of perfumes. However, like their cosmetics, all the Clinique perfumes are dermatologist and allergy tested, although those with sensitive skin are always advised to do a patch test before using. When comparing perfume prices, note that eau de parfum is more concentrated than eau de toilette, and a little will go a long way. Spray perfumes are easier to apply, and you can do the trick of spraying into the air and walking through the mist to get a perfectly subtle rather than overpowering scent.
