One of those it smells nice in the bottle but not on me situations I think. Just doesn't suit my chemistry. Wouldn't buy a full sized bottle.

Estee Lauder Beautiful Review
The fragrance of a thousand flowers.
A tender bouquet of Lilies and Roses, Marigold and Orange Blossoms...all warmed with a rich, woody base and brightened with a touch of citrus.
Romantic, tender, memorable.

I got this perfume as a gift to wear on my wedding day, not surprising because this perfume has been marked as the ultimate bridal scent. I only found out about bridal meaning on my wedding day. So it has lots of memories, lots of love and loves of fun attached it to for me. I dont about you, but I love a perfume that renders wonderful memories for me, that way when I look at I smile and will wear these perfumes that are and were moment appropriate. Yes I know, I'm a huge marshmallow and very sentimental but thats just me!
The moments I love to wear this perfume are special, like an anniversary dinner, a cocktail party event etc. Its never just for the sake of wearing a perfume.
The fragrance is strong in floral notes and to me resembles a close comparison to Red Door. It has top notes that comprise of mandarin and some rose which I quite like in a perfume. I dont really like stand alone fresh, floral, fruity flavours but much prefer a subtle mixture of these tones.
Only a few sprays and this perfumes is on its way to last you the entire day and definitely lots of compliments waiting for you. I do however prefer to wear this perfume at night as a find the mandarin and rose can abit a strong for an everyday casual perfume. This perfume definitely needs a fancy dress, some killer stilettos and a designer handbag :) I tend to lean to fresher, cleaner smells for everyday, daytime, casual wear but thats just me and my preference.
I own the 75ml bottle and have used it a host of times and I havent even made a dent in the perfume so its definitely a worthy investment. This will always be in my perfume collection!
Tips: Avoiding spraying behind your ears if you are sensitive to strong mandarin scents, like I am, because it will have a chocking effect. Rather spray on your wrists and nape of your neck to enjoy this perfume.
I have been wearing this fragrance for the last 15 years and it is my all time favourite. A beautiful bouquet of smells from the first spray to the end notes. I have had so many comments from people about how wonderful I smell and have also had a few males tell me that this is how they know I'm around because they can smell my perfume. I know perfume smells different on different people but this is a wonderful delicate long lasting perfume which by the way lasts for at least 8 hours (longer if you layer the smells eg shower gel, body lotion then spray)
You either adore this scent and can pull it off or you will loathe it unfortunately. I am in the love category but for many this takes on the scent of musty dried flowers - the blend of marigold and old fashioned rose is to blame for this.I also detect alot of carnation on my skin which is another slightly 'dated' note not common in modern perfumery but a fave of mine. It is a true floral, old-fashioned perhaps to the noses of today's youth since it lacks any artificial sweetness of any sorts, no sugar or candy notes here, no fruits just the natural sweetness of fresh cut blooms, woody, slightly musky and womanly at the same time. I also wore it's newer sister scent 'beautiful love' which was a more modern take on the original scent but was sadly discontinued several years ago. This is definitely a classic and worth a shot if you like classic fragrances.
Beautiful is not my favorite from Estee lauder, I have bought all of this House's perfumes at one stage or another. I would buy 'Knowing' as opposed to 'Beautiful' - 'Knowing' has a stronger, more potent strength. However, whenever I wear this women stop to ask me what perfume I am wearing. Men turn thier heads in my direction everytime I wear this. Not on the cheap side of prices but then this is a long lasting scent. As this is a strong scent, worn alone - without layering is best for office wear. Stunning scent from Estee Lauder. Try the 'Knowing' if you have not done so yet.
Tips: Beautiful does not really need to be layered however to go the extra distance, layering is best.
The product is an Eau de Parfum and comes in a classic but simple spray bottle. I have used it over several years and it was also a favourite of my mother’s. It has a very sweet and sophisticated fragrance and makes me feel very feminine when I wear it. It is described by the manufacturer as romantic, tender, memorable and this describes it very well. It surprises me how much I love this fragrance as I don’t usually like anything too floral and actively dislike anything very floral-ly.It lasts very well on the skin and is a fragrance I would normally use in the evening rather than daytime as it feels more suited to a relaxed and romantic time of the day. At $75.00 for a 15ml bottle I feel it is good value for an EDP when compared to similar products.
I have found this is one of only two perfumes I use after trying many. This is a light flowery perfume and at Christmas time I love the extra items that appear. I've had a body wash that made my shower smell absolutely delicious and helped with layering as has the body lotion. A small bottle is perfect for in the handbag for topping up even though the perfume does linger for a good while.
Tips: Layer with different products in the Beautiful range.
Estee Lauder has produced some of my favourite classics and Beautiful is one of these. The packaging is soft, feminine and simple. The spray is light and does not spray out loads of fragrance but a small amount each time. I tend to opt for the soft romatic woody fragrances and this is one too. After the initial application it evelopes you in a warm and inviting fragrance which lingers. It is what I would describe as a soft, clean smell and it is perfectly suited for day time wear. One of those that I will go back to from time to time.
From the simple, yet elegantly shaped bottle to the first spray you will be in love with this fragrance. It is a floral fragrance which is light and enchanting. With a woody base the floral notes are not overpowering, but made even more appealing. I will wear this anytime as I believe yoj must always be at your best. There are other products in the Beautiful range which go hand in hand with the fragrance and ensures a long lasting fragrance all day with many compliments coming you way.
Tips: Layer with other Beautiful products.
I love this fragrance - I am not usually a floral girl more an oriental scent preference but this is just beautiful....pardon the pun! I'm yet to meet anyone that doesn't like this scent - it's just the perfect mix of elegance in a bottle.
Tips: Layer the fragrance with their body lotion and soap to smell beautiful all day :-)
