Private Collection Amber Ylang Ylang Estēe Lauder 2008 Eau de Parfum

One of EL's most beautiful creations and without a doubt one of my favorite fragrances. Many classify it as a winter fragrance due to its warmth and shimmering cinnamon-vanilla accords. I also use it in summer; it comes into its own in warm, humid climates. In winter, the associations are of an evening in a wood-paneled living room, where the warmth of the fireplace blends spicy notes of cinnamon, dark chocolate and vanilla liqueur, all framed by warm amber and very soft ylang. In summer, amber with a light incense note, a spicy note and spicy ylang come to the fore; the honey sweetness disappears in the first half hour and you are immersed in a soft cocoon of fragrance. Yes, this perfume will not linger everywhere on the street, but it will catch the eye of your conversation partners and receive many compliments. It is very pleasant for the wearer and will not strangle others as it will not go unnoticed.
I also love fragrances of this type for their mega femininity, especially now that perfume houses are favoring more and more unisex products. The trail of this perfume will leave the viewer in no doubt that it is explicitly a representative of the beautiful half of humanity. Overall, for me this is currently the most successful realization of feminine amber.
