Most Helpful Positive Review Everything Old is New Again When I was a very young girl my mother wore the most wonderful scent. I never knew the name, just the scent. On my wedding day she gave me this perfume as a gift. I was never able to find it again. I rarely wear perfume because I am always searching for this scent, with all the wonderful memories it brings to me. Now I have found it again and I am so happy. Each time I wear this I can feel my mother with me again, it's wonderful. My husband always smiles when I wear it, he says it reminds him of the days after our wedding. I will be giving this to my daughter some day. Thank you for bringing this perfume and all these happy moments back to me.
Most Helpful Critical Review Calyx I have used this fragrance for years, however the company that sold this fragrance was another cosmetic company.
This is my first bottle of Calyx from Clinque, it appears to me that the scent was altered. It does not have the clean crispness that it once had. The citrus smell is muted and powdery smelling.
I am sure the ladies that never smelled or wore this fragrance before coming to Clinque will like it. Old time users won't !

This fragrance is a deeply luscious green fragrance. It's not overpowering but it is very fresh and herbal.
Different 4
Lisa from Plainsboro
Yes, I'm one of those people lamenting the loss of the magnificent Prescriptives version. It used to be so juicy and had a guava note in it that made my mouth water. That note is gone. I wasn't terribly surprised that it would be different, so instead of mourning a lost love, I just think of this as a new citrus scent that has the same name. it's still very nice and refreshing in the summer, and I do like it - but I loved the original.

Perfect! Not too strong!
Love It! 5
slsm from AZ
I am allergic to most perfumes (skin flames up/wet lungs/major headaches). Not only does Calyx not bother me I love the scent and how it changes over the course of the day: citrus at the start and sweet at the finish. Please make it in a larger bottle again.

I have used this fragrance for years.. 4
Molly from Massachusetts
When Prescriptives made this scent I NEVER had to reapply (actually couldn't) Clinique has not only altered the scent but it no longer has the staying power it used to have. Price went up quality went down. I still use it but I am actively searching for another scent..
I love it! blast from the past 5
bex from Allentown, PA
I love this. I bought it based on the reviews which were so positive. it's very green and woody and fresh. I definitely prefer it over floral scents.
Also, seeing as how it came out in the 80's it turns out it sparked some pleasant memories. I was born in the 80's and it reminds me of my childhood and people I knew that wore it.
not the same formulation 3
grey lady from Seattle
Estee Lauder won't admit to changing the formula. It doesn't smell the same, and that is a shame. I wore it every summer from the time it came out until Lauder bought out Prescriptives. WHY can't they go back to the original formula?!
love at first sniff 5
bex from Pennsylvania
i bought this based on the reviews and descriptions without ever trying it, but i am so glad that i did! it's definitely replacing happy as my signature scent.
it starts out very green and fresh which reminds me of helping my mom in the garden when I was a kid.
once that fades it has a floral scent, but it's still very fresh and crisp. i love it.

Fresh, fruity and green 5
RS from Japan
Calyx is my favorite since it was launched by Prescriptives.
It's a fresh, fruity and green scent.
Please never discontinue it.
I've purchase it from Japan by a package forwarding service, because it's not sold in Japan.
The forwarder required me a special handling fee of $99 for the flammable item.
Please sell it again in Japan!
So Glad Clinique Has Calyx! 5
Linda K from Columbus, OH
I loved this fragrance when Prescriptive's had it and only recently discovered it was available again through Clinique. Have purchased again and still love it! Please continue to carry it! Also would purchase the travel size if you ever offer it.

Received defective bottle 3
Mona from Chicago
Would love to give a review but I have yet to smell it in person. Placed an order in January when I finally received it the bottle was leaking the nozzle was broken no way to spray the perfume. I called came and the gentleman kindly was going to offer a replacement. I got notification that my package had been delivered but not to my house so I have yet to smell or use the perfume. Shipping issues are problematic.
I am obsessed with this smell. 5
Annie from Pennsylvania
I love this fragrance, it is flowery but fresh. Not over powering. When you want to start the day off great spritz some of this on. It makes you feel fresh and confident. This fragrance puts a smile on my face.

A unique fragrance for women by Clinique 5
JAKANAJR from Torrance, CA
Another unique fragrance offering by Clinique. I purchased this as a gift for my sister, and she seems to like it a lot as her signature scent. Citrusy/Floral and light and airy.
Still the Best 5

I love, love this perfume! I have worn it daily for many years and it is my signature scent.
**Would love if Clinique would make a ROLLER BALL for travel...PLEASE!
If you like green, sweet florals this is for you. 3
kellymarie76 from Milwaukee WI
If you like green, sweet florals this one is for you. I use to like it when I was in my 20's and it was prescriptives then. It still smells the same to me...right off the bat smelling the sprayer...i get greens...its fresh....then I get the sweet white florals. I don't really get a fruity vibe from this and never have. It's not for me now as I tend to gravitate towards gourmand. On my skin i like it...because i get the greens and then the white florals...its got a good sillage...but what I get from the sillage is different than what i get smelling the spot i sprayed on my skin....the sillage to me smells like its a green floral scent but also kind of like shampoo. and that is where I don't like this anymore....
