Modern Muse

Estée Lauder fragrances span bold American classics, polished florals, fresh compositions, and modern reinterpretations of archival perfumes. Youth-Dew helped establish the house’s identity through spices, rose, jasmine, patchouli, vetiver, moss, balsams, and amber. Beautiful takes a rich romantic floral direction, while Pleasures is lighter and more transparent with lilies, peony, violet, rose, and soft woods. Other important releases include White Linen, Knowing, Azurée, Estée, and Private Collection. The five-fragrance Legacy Collection reimagines several of these classics in collaboration with Frédéric Malle. Estée Lauder suits those who value structured florals and a range extending from clean daytime scents to rich spicy, green, amber, and mossy compositions.
