I was curious to try this fragrance since Estee Lauder herself had compared it to Opium, a fragrance I find sweet and pleasant if a bit strong. I sprayed Youth Dew on myself at the perfume counter...

My daughters love this fragrance. They call it "the Christmas perfume", and it's not b/c I bought it at that time of year, it's b/c they think it smells of Christmas. You know, ginger bread,...

I personally am offended by the folks that have to throw Senior citizen insults into their reviews. Let's face it we all (God willing) will be old one day. Get out your Thesaurus for some new...

Words cannot express how much I despise this scent. I used to work with a woman who literally drenched herself in the stuff. Smells like a musty room in a house that has been locked up for a long...

This is not my style at all. I don't like the smell of it on me and I don't like the smell of it on other people. Maybe that will change when I get older. I don't think I like any perfume that's...

This is a surprising fragrance. I hated it at first but, at the insistance of a friend, sprayed the smallest amount I could get out of the bottle on (wrinkling my nose and complaining all the...

This smells musty and bitter to me. Very, very bad and to top it off it is also unbearably strong. Gross!

Hey, if Madonna likes it, it can't be all bad. There is a certain allure about something from the 1950's. But then again, I'm a '60s and '70s era gal. I like this stuff and yes, it really lasts.

I rediscovered this scent after hearing Madonna wears it. It is absolutely beautiful. The drydown is soft and powdery. I can't stop smelling my wrist. I want to purchase the body cream and...

Youth dew? The only thing youthful and charming about this perfume is its name. Still not as bad as Clinique's Aromatics Elixir (but then again, nothing is) however, it does come pretty close.

I agree with reviewer "puckerup" that this is for the over 60 crowd. This stuff is so heavy and stinky. Very overrated. And, I'm not ageist!

Can I just say that some of these reviews are so "ageist" they are really offensive? I'm not older and I'm offended. Youth Dew is a fragrance usually favored by older women. You're not ageist for...

Youth Dew is romantic, nostalgic and potent. A Bombshell fragrance, it is not for the weak or those accustomed to the watery super-synthy modern frags. Beautiful and beyond complex, it hits you...

Absolutely terrible. After a few hours this perfume has a way of smelling very stale. Will not buy again.
