Beautiful but cold
I did not consider touching Estee Lauder perfumes last 10 years - too bold, too fresh, too flowery, too meh. I have never really been a white flower/must kind of girl. Especially after having negative experience in my younger years with Pleasures, Beyond Paradise, Spellbound (will always be remembered for the worst migraine I have ever had)
Also when I saw my favourite bloggers positing new Estee Lauder boutique collection and was really sceptical, but decided to give it a try, luckily there are adorable 4 ml samples/mini versions of the perfume. "Radiant Mirage" was interesting mainly because it was made by Quentin Bisch, author of oh-so-popular these days Ganymede. It smelled divine from the blotter, it produces beautiful sillage. But I don't quite like it, at first it smells very Estee Lauder DNA - cold flowers. It opens more interesting with time though, but all the way preserves this coldness that is not my cup of tea.
