Beautiful
Estée Lauder Beautiful Eau de Parfum opens with a whole bouquet at once: rose, lily, tuberose and marigold, with mandarin orange threaded through them, so the first impression is sweet, bright and crowded with flowers rather than built around any single one. The mandarin keeps the top from turning heavy, and the marigold gives it a faintly bitter green edge.
Orange blossom, lily of the valley, jasmine and ylang ylang hold the heart, and this is where the weight of the fragrance sits, honeyed and faintly tropical. Sandalwood, vetiver and amber finish underneath, creamy with a thread of earth, giving the flowers something solid to rest on and turning the final hours powdery and warm. Beautiful moves from a many-flowered opening through a dense white floral middle to a soft woody close, and the floral, white floral and tuberose accords define it, with a fruity sweetness and an aromatic lift running alongside.
Sophia Grojsman composed Beautiful for Estée Lauder in 1985. The house was founded in New York City in 1946 by Estée Lauder and her husband Joseph, and its Youth Dew of 1953, which began as a bath oil, is often called the first major American perfume.
Beautiful is long lasting with strong sillage, so it will be noticed across a table or a room. It wears through all four seasons and is at its brightest in spring, while the sandalwood and amber keep it wearable in the cold. It suits professional wear, casual days and an evening out equally.
