Wrappings (1990)
by Clinique

I've worn Wrappings for 10 years. There have been times when I think I might like something else better, but no, I ALWAYS come back to Wrappings. There is just something very very special about it. For one, I don't know anyone else that wears it. I alway get compliments on it and am secretly hesitant to give my "secret" away.

This is a WONDERFUL fragrance - I cannot understand why Clinique only sells it once or twice a year and only in a gift set.

fresh,warm,uplifting,friendly and cosy

love it.

An odd beastie, indeed! Crisp, coniferous and almost shocking at first -- you'll think the Christmas tree was wrapped in garlands of roses and jasmine but tipped over and fell into your gin.

Soon, though, you can expect a warm and musky surprise in the dry-down. Sexy? No, but cozy and inviting nonetheless.

To be perfectly candid, I'm really surprised that Clinique hasn't discontinued Wrappings, as it's just unusual enough to be outside the mainstream of today's often confining market. (Beyond Paradise it ISN'T.) I'm damn glad Clinique HAS kept it out there on the market, but -- again -- I am surprised all the same.

A must-try, especially if you like cold weather frags which are different from all others. Easily unisex, btw.

The BEST out of ALL the Clinique line. However, why does Clinique only sell this at Christmastime in a 1.66-ounce bottle gift set. I've been trying to find the 3.4-ounce clear bottle with the frosted edges and frosted gold cap. I cannot find this during the other time of the year. Is this some kind of marketing ploy to make Wrappings more elusive, rare, and hard to find (so they can raise the price?). I wish Clinique would carry Wrappings all year round, in the original size of 3.4 ounces perfume spray. I suppose they're hoping people will stock up on it and sell more when it only comes out around Christmastime. It worked! I bought four give sets! A wonderful, wonderful evergreen-laced fragrance for men AND women. I love it! It lasts quite well, too.

This has to be my favorite perfume . . . I was having to source it off e bay ( and then only the body lotion) .Then one happy day, last month, when i was browsing through the perfumes at duty free in Bristol airport I saw it - it had returned smelling as beautiful, warm and bewitching as ever. I bought two bottles of it and have instructed my daughter to buy me another when she is there next week as I suspect this is probably a limited run on it. All my favourite notes are there, carnation, musk and patchouli. The sillage is excellent; a little goes a long way.

I used to wear it as a student and have come back to it almost 18 yrs later. There is something about that I find irresistible.
