'I've worn the same £27 Clarins perfume for decades and still get compliments'

Clarins' Eau Dynamisante debuted in the 1980s — and remains just as popular today

Shoppers are delighted by a 'delightfully fresh' fragrance that has had loyal fans hooked for years. The iconic Clarins' Eau Dynamisante Treatment Fragrance, starting at just £27 for a 50ml bottle, is seen as a steal when pitted against its pricier competitors.

This beloved unisex scent, which falls under the Chypre category (a contrast between fresh and rich, woody notes), took over the fragrance world when it debuted in 1987. The genius behind this olfactory treat is none other than Jacques Courtin-Clarins, the original founder of the renowned beauty label.

The perfume is layered with top notes of Amalfi lemon, coriander, caraway, orange, and petitgrain for a refreshing, fruity vibe. You'll then discover an array of fresh herbs: think rosemary, carnation, cardamom, and thyme.

At Boots, the fragrance has garnered an impressive average score of 4.4 out of five from 341 reviews, with 87% of surveyed shoppers giving it a thumbs-up. One customer said: "I love this fragrance and have used it for years. Please don't change it, as to me, it epitomises the Clarins brand."

Another fan shared: "This is the most fabulous and delightfully fresh fragrance, my favourite since I first bought it in the 1980s. I feel like I have stepped out of the shower when I splash this on my skin, and people always comment on how lovely I smell. It is invigorating and beautiful to wear on any occasion."

A third enthusiast added, "I have used Eau Dynamisante for decades. I love the way it makes me feel and the lovely scent that stays with me all day. I always get compliments from friends."

One fragrance fan added: "I was a bit unsure of this scent when I first got it and smelled it, but now it's one of my favourite scents! Eau Dynamisante adds just the right amount of spice without smelling smoky, which I realise is what I do not like when it comes to deeper scents. This is also a great layering perfume.

"The price is also perfect for the amount, and it lasts a decent while on my skin. I can smell it on myself for 4-5 hours, and then it is a skin scent, which I don't mind. I would classify this as unisex; it would be great on men or women, radiating the perfect amount of sophistication and intrigue."

However, some users have reported issues with the product's pump. One disgruntled customer said: "This is a favourite of mine, and I have worn it for many years, but like other reviewers, the pump has stopped working, and this is the second time this has happened on my last two bottles."
