Beautiful Review

Beautiful Eau de Parfum represents Estee Lauder at her finest — rich, luxurious, and romantic. Launched in 1985, this floral scent is like a romantic bouquet with a thousand blooms mixed with fresh citrusy accords atop a warm woodsy base.

Beautiful possesses a sweet, intensely floral core and a warm and elegant base crafted to make you feel like the most beautiful of women. It opens with a delicate blend of exotic florals, notably Bulgarian Rose, lily, orange flower, and tuberose, and ends with vetiver and sandalwood.

This gorgeous fragrance features over 2000 flowers per ounce — a mind-boggling number. It’s perfect for a confident woman who wants to feel her best. Light and pleasant, it captures your charm, warmth, and personal appeal, defining your femininity. 

Wear Estee Lauder’s Beautiful whenever you want to feel special. It makes a fantastic signature scent too. You can wear it to a date or any other occasion where you feel like making a statement.

Modern Muse Review

Modern Muse Eau de Parfum captures the essence of a confident and independent modern woman. The woman believes in herself and her sense of style yet remains consummately feminine.      

The perfume expresses this dynamism by combining sparkling jasmine (femininity) in the heart of the fragrance with sleek wood accords (strength) at the base.

Perfumer Harry Fremont formulated this Estee Lauder perfume in 2013, launching an exquisite feminine fragrance with a moderate sillage and staying power. Estee Lauder released this perfume after a brief hiatus, making a statement-worthy comeback with the sensual and sophisticated scent. It flew off the shelves, instantly becoming an Estee Lauder perfume best seller.

This floral and fruity scent is jasmine-heavy with hints of tuberose, honeysuckle, and lily. The base is warm and cozy, thanks to amber, musk, and creamy vanilla, while traces of patchouli linger at the trail.

Modern Muse EDP is appropriate for everyday wear, particularly in warmer climates, as it’s light and airy. You’ll fork out a little more for this one, but it’s worth it.

Knowing Review

Jean Kerleo crafted this masterpiece for the self-assured woman in touch with herself and her needs. She was inspired by the pittosporum flower, the star of this beautiful perfume.

This Estee Lauder parfum is one beautifully crafted scent. Its deep, warm aroma is so palpable that it fills you with a massive dose of confidence. Mimosa is prominent at the top, while the heart is sweetly floral. Ultimately, this is a complex composition yet ultra clean and worldly.

This vintage perfume (1988) comes highly recommended. It’s an intense perfume that works best for fall and winter. Nevertheless, it still shines in hot weather (summer), making it a year-round go-to fragrance. 

Knowing EDP is a classic that has stood the test of time. If you enjoy classic chypres with rich, gorgeous scents, get yourself a bottle. You may need to dip a little further into your wallet than you’d like for this one, but the end result of wearing this scent is worth it.

White Linen Review

The name White Linen conjures images of freshly washed sheets and their clean smell or a clear blue sky devoid of clouds. And true to its name, this fragrance is super crisp and clean. It’s a cool and elegant fusion of white flowers and green accents.

White Linen EDP acquires its pure essence from Italian mandarin, white freesia, and raspberry head notes infused with sweet violet and orris at the core. It dries down to an earthy base thanks to vetiver, amber, and oakmoss.

This classic all-time favorite is a Sophia Grojsman creation (1978). It comes in a sleek, minimalistic white bottle and is an excellent perfume to wear on summer days for that clean, refreshing feeling. 

If you crave a simple, calm, easy-to-wear fragrance, this is it. If you need a scent that makes more of a splash, however, you may want to look at the rest of our list.

Bronze Goddess Review

Bronze Goddess Eau de Parfum is a luscious coconut-infused scent for the elegant woman. This sunny composition is a combination of citrusy aromas, white flowers, warm amber, and vanilla. 

Bronze Goddess bears a nutty coconut smell reminiscent of the beach. Its tropical leaning brings to mind the sun, suntan lotion, tanned skin, and sandy coastlines. To put it plainly, it screams endless summer.

This scent opens bright and cheerful with citrusy notes before moving on to pretty florals. The coconut in Bronze Goddess is sweet, light, and creamy, while the tiaré is somewhat plush. Finally, deep, honeyed amber amps the harmonious formulation while vanilla ushers in sweet, creamy accents. 

The perfume ends in a beautifully smooth, sweet, powdery musk resulting in an easy, joyful, and super creamy summer fragrance.

Though this exotic fragrance is a summer staple, it’s versatile enough to wear all year round. Longevity is decent at six to seven hours, but you can layer it with bath oil, body lotion, or cream for extended wear.

Youth Dew Review

Youth Dew dates back to 1953 and was Estee Lauder’s debut fragrance. Amazingly, it has transcended time, remaining a signature scent throughout the decades. Many perfume lovers believe Youth Dew to be among the world’s sexiest, most erotic formulations, which possibly contributes to its longevity.

This perfume owes its irresistible aroma to a prominent and unforgettable amber, spicy aroma featuring rose and lavender. At the dry down, notes from moss, patchouli, and vetiver lend Youth Dew a spicy-woody ending. The scent can last as long as six hours, making it perfect for intimate evenings that you (and your Significant Other) don’t want to end. 

Youth Dew can come off strong and overpowering, so go easy on the sprayer. It’s perfect for nighttime settings or when you want to pamper yourself. This nostalgic scent is sure to dredge up memories of times gone by — like those passionate moments in the boudoir.

Sensuous Review

Last but not least is Sensuous EDP, a soft and mild fragrance with an appealing aroma. Annie Buzantian designed this alluring fragrance for every woman in 2008. It’s the perfect scent for when you are feeling adventurous but still want to express your femininity.  

Sensuous EDP by Estee Lauder is one intriguing scent. It replaces Estee Lauder’s floral notes with an oriental woodsy-amber concept. 

The perfume contains notes from amber, black pepper, sandalwood, magnolia, and ghost lily. Its light, pleasant fragrance makes it perfect for daytime use and is sure to elicit appreciative compliments whenever you wear it.

You can wear Sensuous anytime and anywhere, but it’s best for winter. The powerful, long-lasting amber and woods formulation lasts all day, enveloping you in a warm, luminous hug. And like all Estee Lauder fragrances, Sensuous Eau de Parfum is made with high-quality ingredients, giving you good value for your money.

Many women adore Sensuous by Estee Lauder, and most have worn the perfume for years. It makes a perfect gift too, and you’ll hardly go wrong buying it for a special friend or loved one, especially if you purchase it as a set with a body lotion.
