I am generally a fan of the older EL fragrances, like Private Collection and Youth-Dew, but... Estee always had an odd, stale, smoky note to me, almost like ham or cigarette butts. It just smells...

I've owned Estee in the Pure Fragrance Spray and the Super Cologne Spray. I like them both, but prefer the Pure Fragrance Spray for a more intense,true scent. Estee is a modern mix of...

Gorgeous, gorgeous scent! Very romantic. Soft, tender, soapy, clean, semi-powdery. This is the most classic scent in the Estee Lauder line, in my opinion. I use the Pure Fragrance Spray and the...

Instant headache. Sort of like the old Revlon Moon Drops scent. This is a retro scent par excellence. If you like doilies, Waldorf salad, and the Champagne Lady, this perfume is for you.

This is definitely a "sleeper" of a scent. I never hear anyone mention it. This is surprising, because Estee is a delightfully wearable, sparkling daytime fragrance -- confident without being too...

This is a unique smelling scent. I first tried it many years ago, shortly after it first came out(late 1960s). I didn't appreciate it then,I was much too young and into the 'headshop' scents of the...

I love this fragrance! It reminds me of an older scent from Avon I used to wear called Unspoken. It is quite "in-your-face" when it is first applied, but mellows a bit.This fragrance takes me...

I was lucky enough to receive a sample vial from the generous gardengirl in a swap.<p>Upon 1st application it is a bit strong. My first impression was of a much softer cross (less bitchy version...

I am using the Estee Super Perfume. Best described as a "powdery wood/patchouli blend"-wish the wood notes were stronger and the powder much weaker. Actually, this reminds me a <i> lot </i> of an...

This has been my signature scent since I was in high school 20 years ago. It's definitely harsh when you first put it on, (don't breathe it in directly!) BUT, when it "settles in" for a few...

A very pleasant surprise! I use the pure fragrance spray, which is, I think, comparable to an edp. It goes on a little harsh, but within minutes softens into a beautiful, soft, gentle floral...

I recently discovered Estée when I read that it was similar to Chanel No. 22, one of my favorite scent. Estée has an overal soapy note with a great dry and woody base, almost like burnt wood. ...

This is an absolutely beautiful classic, one of Estee Lauder's earlier fragrances. According to her autobiography, Mrs. Lauder brought it as a gift to Grace Kelly, who adored it. Classified as a...
