Beautiful Eau de Parfum Pearl Anniversary Edition

Purchased it last night, I'm a big lover of the classic version, this smelled little different, maybe more citrusy and less longevity. I also purchased the bar soap, if you a fan of Beautiful by EL, you will need its bar soap.

I found this very difficult to work with. I think the bulb spray is leaking. I decanted some of the pearl's contents into a purse atomizer and it was much easier to work with. I find a little difference from the EDP spray I bought at the department store recently, but not enough to make me dislike it. However, I would not buy the pearl edition again.

I owned this for a few weeks being a lover of the Original Beautiful edp it has Been the only signature scent I have ever had I've been wearing beautiful since it's launch and I blind bought this thinking it would smell just like my beautiful and it smelled nothing like what I wear daily this has a waxy smell to it and didn't last at all on me I ended up gifting this to my sister she loves it and wears it as her signature!

Yes! I finally have a perfume with an old fashioned spray valve! And this bottle... just amazing!! Really a pearl on my dresser, next to my little girl’s merry-go-round and Chanel parfum. Now all I need is a diamond shaped flacon to match... I have wanted this for so long, and being in Australia it was so hard to get my hands on, since it was a US release only and sold out real quick. I don't regret the extra cost. It's one of the prettiest perfumes I've ever seen, has a lovely smell, and I'm honored to have it in my collection. I also have the original Beautiful in a mini. So I did a wrist comparison, and this is what I found: Old formulation definitely due for a remake. It smells dated. An unmistakable big 80s floral which would never be considered for a bride nowadays. Despite this, I actually prefer it, because it’s rounder, deeper and more complex. It also hits the spot for my vintage cravings. The reformulation is almost entirely new. Still a big white floral, but a vintage “mood” is about as close to the original as you'll get. More modern and wearable. Although the complexity is missing. It smells like ivory satin and pearls to my nose. Not as lush, more sheer. Aldehydic and citric top notes give it a Chanel vibe, though I would not put it in that class. The base is different. Softer. Less “yellow” in the mix. Barely woody. Overall, it's good, satisfying. To me, the reformulation is a compromise between market demands and the legacy of the old Beautiful. They've significantly changed it, yet there's some faint resemblance to this classic, classic powerhouse. Not bad... but let me put it this way: if Beautiful was released for the first time in its reformulation state, it would not be a classic. It would be another Modern Muse.
