Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise Reviews

Wow I think this perfume has been around for ages! I used to have this a few years back. I liked to wear it during the day because of its light floral fragrance. Very girly and refreshing. I dont think its a kind of perfume I would wear now, I look for more long lasting musky, floral tones now.

As a teenager and young adult this perfume was my every envy and desire. I use to work in a make up store during my university days and I overheard 2 customers talking about their favourite perfume. During my lunch I went off to go and give this perfume a sniff and oh man... I really wish I didnt do it. It was my every love in a perfume and every scent I loved. Not to mention the beautiful bottle. It was instantly love at first sight but sadly that is all it remained because there was no way I could affford to ever own this perfume.

I remember trawling by perfume stores year after year just to give myself a sprits of this perfume on my wrist so I could carry this beautiful smell with me all day. And wow, one sprits on my wrist really lasted the whole day.

And then last year, a 9 year dream came to fruition! Its was our wedding anniversary and my hubby gifted me the 100ml bottle! I couldnt stop crying that he remember all my stories about sneaking some perfume from department stores.

Well now I am the proud owner of a bottle and its one of those perfumes that I can only bear to wear on extremely special occassions. I'll give a sniff regularly but thats it. When I do wear this perfume, I get none stop compliments from guys and girls about how amazing I smell because the scent lasts all day on me.

The bottle is such a special design and colour that its really heart gripping. Its an upside diamond shaped bottle with a 7 colour flip in the glass of the bottle. Depending on which way you hold the bottle, it will be a different colour of the rainbow. The scent is the perfect balance of fresh and clean, its not overly sweet but there's a hint of it, and a slightly zesty almost mandarin (but watered down) smell. This perfume really caters for all types because there are so many different flavours to excite your scenses.

Its more appropriate for girls who are young adults because the perfume doesnt lean toward being sweet and fruity can a teenager would love to wear.

This perfume will forever and always be in my perfume collection and I wouldnt even borrow it to mom or closest friend.. That is how special this perfume is to me.

I received this on my 18th birthday from my aunt, and I have to say the packaging is so attractive and pretty. It's got sort of a subtle rainbow purplish multi faceted bottle with a cute round lid. I did go hunting for it again but unfortunately was told it is no longer available :( boo. The fragrance itself was a gorgeous floral scent, not overpowering and very feminine. If anyone does find this anywhere, I'd love to know because I would instantly restock this. One of my favourites that reminds me so much of my 18th birthday and has so many memories attached. I love this fragrance and nostalgia aside, it's a great scent for those of you who like soft florals and rose fragrances...a good bet is that if you like issey miyake scents you'll love this.

I actually carry a "mini" of this in my handbag at all times. I have heard that it may be discontinued which would be sad as I have worn it for many years. A light tropical scent that isn't overpowering but has definite staying power. Once the top notes of have gone you are left with a fresh tropical floral scent. I also adore the bottle on this particular fragrance which has changes colours half way down the bottle.

this fragrance reminds me of a tropical island and a lagoon sunset and the smell is just to dye for with its refreshing hints of mandarin

This is my favourite perfume and has been for years. I love the floral yet fresh smell and it lasts on my skin.
