Chemistry

oh boy! this fragrance is masculine! ;) I'm loving it since 1994. just from the day it saw the light on the shelf of Dillard's in US. at that time fragrance for man from I would say one of the first producers of lux fragrance free skin care products for man was just not usual and very outstanding. Chemistry. the last bottle I got few years ago. it was last in a stock and the seller told me that it won't be available any more. so I used it very rarely to save to precious drops of my favorite Chemistry until one summer day when I arrived to Dubai and saw it at the airport store. I was sooo amazed that Estee Lauder and co have made a great decision to recreate it's extravagant perfume. and the box has changed to conquer hearts that already have not been stolen.

I adooooore this fragrance. I wore it my entire senior year of high schol waaay back in 1996 and never thought much about it in the intervening years mainly because I stopped wearing cologne for many years but now I've tested hundreds in the last 4-5 months and came back to where I started with this one. I was expecting this one to possibly be discontinued but I never expected it to have so few supporters. This is a very, very dry fragrance. Its downright pucker-inducing. Bracing mint,ginger and white musk. The longevity is monsterous for this type of cologne. I think its amazing but obviously this is a polarizing one. I purchased my new bottle from ebay.

A highly refined classy scent that has an almost invisible smokey-like presence - perhaps similar to the effect of the ISO E Super ingredient style of fragrances. I think it works off body heat to become more incensey and noticeable, but it accompanies and complements your presence like a shadow. I would buy this if it wasn't so overpriced, but a highly overlooked fragrance that is not so easy to find. Definitely worth checking out in my opinion!

I love this scent on my husband for day/spring/summer. This is masculine, but without trying too hard. No awful leather or strong tobacco notes. It's quite citrusy & warm. It's a refreshing fragrance that blends smoothly & lasts a long time on the skin. The price is pretty decent too!

It's supposed to be for men but I wear ii so I would say it could be a unisex scent. Spraying on clothing, I could still smell it on my clothing after 8 hours. On skin, barely smell it after 30 minutes. That's just me though. It smells so clean!

there is a chance to buy it again. it's a limited edition, however it's not being sold everuwhere like before, but if you really like this cologne you can find through the net or dutyfree shops, etc.

Very nice man fragrance. It's reminds me the 90's a lot. Worth to try, if you will managed find it now a days, as it's discontinued.

I own two bottles of limited editions

Dated by some standards, Chemistry by Clinique remains my favorite of the clean, fresh, sporty fragrances that achieved zenith in the mid-1990s. Others that come to my mind's nose are Polo Sport, Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger, and Fathom. It evokes a sense of wellness, fitness, and vigor - something one would wear when going out for a good run, bike ride, or inline skating session, then spray on afterward to continue the feeling. My last bottle is just below the halfway mark and while I'll hate to see it go, as surely it will, it will have been an enjoyable aromatic companion across some wonderful years.

Have always been attracted to this one once the Summer humidity begins to fade. The warm but much drier days of Fall are fantastic for Chemistry and it absolutely becomes signature worthy as your afternoons transition into cooler - but not yet frigid - evenings. A soapy Neroli/Ginger combo with a touch of mint surrounding, and sturdy Lauder longevity. Chemistry has a nice, vital energy, lending itself to a day not cooped up, indoors. Reseller prices are great for a laugh.

I have an original mid-90's bottle that was probably purchased not too long after it was launched. My dad passed it on to me since this was a gift from my mom and was not really his style (He was a PS Paul Sebastian guy). For this fresh and clean style of fragrance, it is very long lasting. I still have about 1/2 a bottle. This juice was never brown, as someone else mentioned. It has always been a very light yellow/clear.

I loved this in the 90s when gifted a bottle: this, Armani and Minataur were my impossibly chic fragrance wardrobe at university. I just had to find bottle - and now its discontinued it was a very expensive itch to scratch. But I'm glad I did. Is it unique? No. Is it deep and weird and strange? No. Is it fresh and evocative of a place and time? Yes.

Chemistry is actually a pretty decent late 80's/early 90's fresh fougere along the lines of Calvin Klein Escape for Men or Aramis New West. Also it's unbelievably strong and tenacious on my skin - and this is just from the current version! I can only imagine how bombastic the vintage stuff is. Worth trying!

definitely a child of the 90s, but works for today. Light, gingery with a muted floral undercurrent. a safe, pleasant fragrance for daytime and the office. Has a clean vibe that some will read as bland. longevity good. sillage ok. not much to offend here.

This reminds me so much of Big Pony 3 by Polo! This however, is much more adult-like whereas Big Pony 3 is very youthful and preppy.

A quintessential mid-90s fragrance like bottled up time capsule: citrusy-bright sporty aromatic freshie. I get mostly musk, oakmoss, ginger and lavender. Not unique, not a great performer, kinda dated, but it has nostalgia going for it. There's no way I'd pay anything close to what the current going price is on ebay these days.

We just recieved a shipment of goods from Estee lauder and Co. A big big shipment with loads of brands that were not sold in the shop previously like Tom Ford, Aramis, DKNY and Clinique. Lots of sampling these days :D! One of the new items was a Clinique named Clinique Skin scent, Cologne for men! I tried it and I wanted to review it... But my search here came out empty... Then I found this... It's the same bottle shape but the box is pure white and the notes seems be the same either... Well... I'll review Skin scent here. Unfortunately... Skin scent is just... Well... a skin scent. So subtle and so gentle you won't feel it on you without putting your nose into it. That's aside it is fairly long lasting... You get easily a 6+ hours from it. It starts out with a lemony minty fragrance before turning into a musky spicy aroma which was completely unexpected... I thought it would remain citrussy and fresh... The drydown is soapy and very clean. All in all... It's not bad but not my cup of tea... The main problem for me is it's weakness and blandness! For those who likes to smell subtly clean and unoffesively gentle this is perfect! Edit: I rechecked and found out that chemistry is written in bold above everything else... I don't know how I missed it...!!

This is true hatred for me. I am generally very patient with fragrances I don't like but this I had to scrub off. So loud, chemical and feminine smelling it was embarassing to walk around in public after a timid spray on the wrist. It doesn't wash off!!! I had to endure its horrible stench for two days (and yes I had showers and washed hands maniacally during)! I felt like living in a carton box of laundry powder (the cheapest available at the market). I tried it out of curiosity because I had never noticed it before. Turns out it lives among us since 1994 and no one has heard of it. No wonder... PS: If my coworker wore this at the office I would slap him in the face. It is THAT offensive! PS2: I don't want to say all bad so the bottle is nice in its simplicity. In fact it tricked me into testing the contents PS3: On paper it tells, a different, much better story of cleanliness and floralcy, if only it could do it on skin...

I can understand the nonchalant attitude toward this fragrance and the fresh thing is something that's hard to dislike right? Well it must be my 'Chemistry' that doesn't agree with this fragrance because I actively don't like it. The opening is bitter and musky then becomes cheap and lacking in everything which could make it enjoyable or just inoffensive. Just weak perfumery for me, I couldn't wear this and I'm someone who has worn Happy for years despite finding it synthetic smelling it's fresh and uplifting in a way I'd hoped this would be. Chemistry is a flop...not good at all.

Jesus, this stuff nearly took the lining off my nose! I actually thought it was for a woman as the packaging is quite unisex - I might come to it with a different perspective if I think of it on my husband. Has it got no Aldehydes in it? It was so searingly aldehydic from the bottle (come back, White Linen, all is forgiven!) I think it would take a brave and individual guy to wear this and now I really want to smell it again, on skin!
