Eau de Parfum (EDP) from Estée Lauder.

Paid links · Sold via a marketplace listing · how this works

Scent description (editorial impression)

One owner, given it as a high-school Christmas present in the mid-1980s, now wears nothing else, and for many it has been a signature since the 1980s: a lush bouquet of rose, lily, tuberose and lily of the valley on creamy sandalwood. Owners call it long-lasting and a steady compliment-getter on a single spray; a few admire it without ever warming to it.

Modern Muse Eau de Parfum

Eau de Parfum (EDP). Strangers stop wearers to ask what it is, and one owner's car still smells of it at the end of the workday: a white-floral bouquet led by jasmine, with honeysuckle, tuberose and lily on patchouli, vanilla and a woody musk.

Sensuous Eau de Parfum

Eau de Parfum (EDP). Sun-warmed skin after a day outdoors, to one wearer; the softest angora and cashmere, to another: honeyed woods and amber with a haze of white flowers and pepper.
