6 Estée Lauder fragrances
Beautiful Eau de Parfum
Eau de Parfum (EDP). 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.
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.
Pleasures Eau de Parfum
Eau de Parfum (EDP). Cut grass and dewy white flowers, lily, peony and lilac, as clean as an expensive soap: the 1990s spring floral that many have worn for decades and still get asked about.
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.
White Linen Eau de Parfum
Eau de Parfum (EDP). Sheets drying in the sun, or a bar of good white soap: sparkling aldehydes on rose, lily of the valley and orris, drying to vetiver and moss.
Youth-Dew Eau de Parfum
Eau de Parfum (EDP). Dense cinnamon, clove, dark flowers and balsams, with patchouli giving a spiced-cola effect.
