Describe the fragrance of Estee Lauder Beautiful

[MorrisZapp]

I have a haircare product that I love the smell of. A YouTuber has said it smells just like Estee Lauder Beautiful.

If you know Beautiful, how would you describe the fragrance?

Pretty but strong. Floral, like fresh flowers.

I love beautiful, I don't wear it but it's a beautiful smell (no pun intended)

1990s white flower light floral. Very pretty and quite innocent. The original marketing was bridal to compete with CK Eternity.

No way is Beautiful a light floral! You can smell it from around a corner. It's a very powerful flower smell and reminds me of the perfume hall of Lewis's department store in the 1980s.

Sweet floral. Pretty strong, not sure I'd describe it as 'light' either although I think they've done various versions of it that could fit into that category.

God I used to love Beautiful and hammered it in my late teens - must have stank the place out as it is strong stuff. EL should definitely formulate a perfect weak version of it more in keeping with today scent - they brought out B Sheer but smelt nothing like the original and really plasticky.
The scent of beautiful is a perfect floral to me but I get a creamy musky rose type smell from it - not sure about the white floral aldehyde description.

I'd also say a lightish floral. I suppose it depends what you're comparing it with! It's a white floral, so a lot less heavy but somehow sweeter than florals with rose, etc. There is also a citrus note in it which keeps it light.

It reminds me of my dad. He always bought this for me.

I would say its light floral too

A heavy powdery sweet floral scent. Smells lovely on my DSis and like cat piss on me sadly .
I like it, but not on myself as it doesnt suit my skin. It is very typical Estee Lauder in that it is strong, distinctive and long-lasting.

I don't know how I'd describe it but like any Estée Lauder fragrance you can smell it a mile off.

Thanks all. I had a scoosh today in town and it's exactly as described. Too heavy for me but a gorgeous, sultry scent.

The haircare product I mentioned is System Professional Solar Oil, which is a lush floral but with hints of suntan lotion. I love the smell on my hair! Would buy the full range if they ever turned it into body products.

1990's and everyone was doused in it. It's NOT for the faint hearted. Pungent, over flowery, cloying.

HURRAH!

Just walked past the hairdressers and guess what, they do have a body product in that range! And it's my birthday soon :)
