In 1967, an article in Vogue magazine got Estee Lauder to thinking. The article, entitled, "Can Great Skin Be Created?" dealt with how important it was to develop a skin care routine, and how that routine could make all the difference in actually creating beautiful skin. Estee Lauder being the genius she was, decided it was time to get her then popular company, twenty years strong, into the dermatological skin care business. Thus, Clinique was born.

Since 1968, Clinique has been the final word in quality skin care. Here are five quality Clinique Fragrances that are ideal for the woman in your life:

1. Aromatics Elixir: The original scent from Clinique Fragrances, Aromatics Elixir has remained popular for nearly forty years. Top notes include rose and chamomile, producing a floral opening that soon goes into a more woodsy flare and a taste of the Orient featuring oakmoss, jasmine, muguet, and Ylang-Ylang. The foundation of Aromatics Elixir includes patchouli, musk, amber, and sandalwood.

2. Happy for Women: Happy for Women is one of those classic Clinique Fragrances, which, despite having a lot going on, produces an aroma that is simple, sweet, and spectacular. Happy gets much of its initial punch from a healthy opening dose of ruby red grapefruit, bergamot, West Indian Mandarin Tree Blossom, and High Altitude Laurel. After that first wave, middle notes of Boysenberry Bush Flower, Morning Dew Orchid, and Melati Blossom, take over punching up the floral flare of the scent before ending with a slightly Oriental twist. Base notes of Hawaiian Wedding Flower, White Crinium Lily, Chinese Golden Magnolia, and Spring Mimosa Blossoms, make sure of it.

3. Happy Heart: This 2003 selection from Clinique Fragrances and perfumer Christophe Laudamiel is a mostly floral fragrance that continues in the tradition of the original Happy for Women. It starts with a naturally fruity flare that includes notes of mandarin, cucumber, and Crisp Mountain Air Accord. After that, middle notes of yellow primrose, wild carrot flower, and water hyacinth, set up a perfect woodsy base.

4. Happy to Be: Sure to be one of your favorite Clinique Fragrances, Happy to Be is a unique blend of floral and lemon. Like a previous discontinued selection from Clinique, Simply, it features pear and soya. You may also detect small doses of honey and grapefruit in the concoction that help to enhance the natural, earthy theme of the scent.

5. Happy in Bloom 2009: This limited edition scent from Clinique Fragrances is another in a long line of bright, joyous aromas that combine the best elements of fruit and floral for an incredible product that is poised to be the next great thing from the pioneer and leader of the skin care industry. Opening up with a well-charged display of notes that include yellow plum, frozen fruit, and water green, the fruity takes a turn for middle notes of muguet, white freesia, and mimosa, before a solid foundation of amber and white wood close things out with a woodsy flare.

Clinique Fragrances are excellent additions to your skin care routine from the originator of the industry. Whether it's Happy in Bloom, Happy to Be, or the original Happy for Women, these are scents that will whisk her away to an enchanted place, and if you're lucky, maybe she'll take you along.
