Clinique

21 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Clinique range is made of

Across the 21 Clinique fragrances Zenyra has mapped, the materials that recur most are musk (43%), rose (38%), amber (38%). No single note dominates, which is itself a choice — this is a house that works across a palette rather than around a signature material.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads cooler than the catalogue as a whole: warmth averages 0.38 against 0.49 across all mapped fragrances. The margin is modest — this is a house closer to the centre of taste than to any edge of it.

One idea, or many

Clinique covers ground. The average spread across its range is 0.156 — wide enough that liking one Clinique fragrance tells you comparatively little about the rest. Houses like this reward exploring the catalogue rather than trusting the name.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2014.
