An unusual EL
White Linen, Knowing, Youth Dew, Beyond Paradise, Beautiful, Cinnabar, Sensuous Noir… I could go on naming Estée Lauder’s famous fragrances. Fragrances that are renowned for their remarkable and recognizable combinations. And then there is Very Estée.
I was quite surprised when I sprayed it the first time because all I got was an insisting freesia. When talking about EL this was new to me. This is not the most interesting EL fragrance there is. And I do get confused when reading that EL introduced thin as “the new sexy perfume”? I do not get it at all. This is, to my nose, as far from sexy as can be. When I spray it, I see a well dressed woman ready for work at the office.
So what makes it interesting? This fragrance lasts - on my skin - for up to 12 hours! The same dominant freesia all through the hours with Jasmine and rose as its companions. That is really something. I was surprised seeing that here on Parfumo the longevity is rated 6,8. Personally I would rate it 11. I feel so secure when I wear this. I know that the scent lasts all day.
It is a nice and quite light fragrance perfect for work or a cafe visit. Sillage is pleasant, not more than an arm’s length, so it is a perfume that is sprayed for the wearer, not the audience. It is perfect for warm spring days and early autumn.
The bottle is close to similar to Spellbound, though it is slimmer and the top is blue instead of black. I like the simplicity of both.
Recommendable? Definitely.
181/365
