Estee Lauder Beautiful Review

Growing up my household was torn between this fragrance; you had those who loved it and the rest of us who didn't like it and would only wear it if it meant getting rid of it faster.

I love how Estee Lauder packages most of their perfumes and this one is no exception. Just a classic curved oblong bottle with a high golden pointed flat top lid. But the packaging has never been enough to make me change my mind on this fragrance.

I feel if we all took a Perfume 101 class this would be the fragrance they'd ask us to make. There's nothing overly special about it; it's not too much, it's not too light but for me it's neither right (on my skin) .

On other people this smells divine; like a beautiful scent of florals in the wind yet on me it smells as if someone just added some average smelling floral oils into the liquid and there you have it. Standard and boring. I'm positive I have smelled a very similar scent or the same mixture of notes in another Estee Lauder fragrance I just haven't quite placed it yet.

I must say though that the lasting power is great; there's something about these Estee Lauder perfumes where they really know how to extend the longevity of a fragrance. But even that is not enough to save this fragrance.

This is a strong rich scent it was a bit over powering for me I think I have seen advertising for it associated with bridal fashions in magazines. This has quite long lasting power and the dry down is not bad. I wouldn't say it's fresh it's a sophisticated warm type. This one came out in the 1980s I see! Must be a classic popular one. I wouldn't say it's one for teens more mature aged women I think it is suited to. The bottle is nothing amazing simple with a nice pink and gold box. It's a warm musky smell heavy floral perhaps with woody oils. Not one I would buy personally but your mum aunty or grandma might love it.

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.

This was over powering for my skin. So much floral with a Woody undertone. It was super sweet and a powerful long lasting scent. Just a shame it was too much for me.

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.

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.

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.

This is a very aromatic and floral fragrance that is relatively heavy and long lasting. I received it as a gift from my mum, and I find that it is a daytime perfume, and especially suitable for the Spring season. The packaging is a classic simple and elegant bottle. I would recommend this perfume but probably will not be buying it anytime soon because of the expensive price, but I would recommend for those who are willing to splurge!

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!
