The invigorating scent of Clarins’s Eau Extraordinaire The house Clarins is famous worldwide for its exceptional skincare. It is currently the leading luxury cosmetics brand in Europe. Nevertheless, in addition to its cosmetic formulas, Clarins also creates fragrances.
Clarins’s Eaux de Soins are a true institution in the world of perfumery and cosmetic products. In 2022, this collection, initiated in 1987, grows further with a new creation: Clarins’s Eau Extraordinaire. Presented in a yellow-green bottle, it is particularly spring-like. Invigorating and refreshing, it takes care of the skin while releasing a revitalizing fragrance. So, how is its composition so different? Let us break down its extraordinary recipe together!
Clarins favors the use of natural ingredients
For several years now, consumers have become increasingly mindful of what they consume and its impact on the environment. They increasingly strive to preserve resources, while giving their bodies the best. This is precisely the approach behind the composition of Clarins’s Eau Extraordinaire. While perfumers have long used synthetic products to reproduce scents from nature, Clarins does everything to move away from them. The house far prefers the use of natural ingredients. As such, the recipe of Clarins’s Eau Extraordinaire contains 95% ingredients of natural origin, more respectful of the planet and the body.
The olfactory pyramid of Clarins’s Eau Extraordinaire
Like any fragrance worthy of the name, Clarins’s Eau Extraordinaire relies on an olfactory pyramid, rising in a crescendo and displaying an initial freshness, before revealing a more tenacious and persistent breath. Clarins’s Eau Extraordinaire contains, like any fragrance, alcohol. On bare skin, this product evaporates naturally, leaving behind a light, invisible, satiny film, imbued with powerful aromatic extracts. These are present to stimulate the receptors located in the nose. At first, Clarins’s Eau Extraordinaire releases a vivid, zesty energy, emanating from bergamot and orange. Then, these citrus notes are further refreshed and enlivened by red ginger, with its more peppery scent. Lavender, for its part, amplifies the aromatic power of the whole. Gradually, in a woody and persistent surge, Clarins’s Eau Extraordinaire ends with a duo of cedar and sandalwood.
The other ingredients used for their benefits on the body
At the same time, let us not forget that the mission of Clarins’s Eau Extraordinaire is not solely to scent the body. It is also about taking care of it day after day. Thus, unlike classic fragrances, Clarins’s Eau Extraordinaire contains other elements, mainly used for their cosmetic power. Clarins’s Eau Extraordinaire notably contains acerola seeds, which stimulate cell regeneration. Kalanchoe extract, for its part, softens skin to enhance it day after day.
Generally speaking, this is a non-photosensitizing skincare product. In other words, it can be perfectly applied in summer, before sun exposure. Its formula is also suitable for all skin types, whether oily, dry, combination or normal.
