Estée Lauder Beautiful Eau de Parfum

Beautiful is the gold standard in feminine floral fragrance.  It's sweet as candy, but with an ultra feminine floral burst.  I knew I was onto a winner when I started wearing it in my early twenties and men would come up to me to ask me about my perfume.  Men don't usually take notice of fragrance.  At least not casually.  And they rarely feel compelled to come up to a woman to ask about it.  But, as I discovered, Beautiful is to men what catnip is to cats.  It truly lives up to its name and when I wear it, I can't help but feel beautiful.  And men still take notice -  even in my late thirties!

Beautiful in name, in scent, in fragrance, in every way.  No wonder so many brides choose this romantic floral for their wedding day.  If I had to pick a favourite from Estee Lauder's diverse wardrobe of fragrances, this would be right up there. This is a very romantic, traditional floral that invokes feelings of love, romance and happiness when wearing it.  It immediately makes me feel more beautiful when I spray it on.  Not too many perfumes that have that sort of effect from a simple spray. It's a fragrance that always gets commented on when I'm wearing it, and along with having it in your bridal bootie, it's also safe enough to wear to the office or for more casual outings.  Though I do think it shines best when used for romantic occasions.  Longevity is pretty good and so is sillage.  Everything I want in a romantic scent, I highly recommend this to all fans of florals.
