Beautiful Love

Today, I fell in love with this fragrance, but it wasn't love at first sight, nor hot and sweaty passion, but more like falling in love with my "nice guy" best friend, who's always been there.... This perfume was a gift from my ex. He was always pushing me to wear big 80s florals - his favorites being red door and beautiful. I'm a fan of big florals, but I just didn't like this one. I wore it for him, every now and then, but it was sharp and loud, like wearing bug spray to me. After we broke up, I put this in a box along with all the other gifts he gave me and forgot about it. I discovered it again today and put it on. Wow, I am completely in love. Maybe it's the weather, maybe my skin chemistry changed, who knows, but now it's absolutely gorgeous and creamy and beautiful on me. When he gave it to me, I used to wear Fracas and Carnal Flower all the time. Comparing these white florals to wedding dresses, I would say that wearing Fracas is like wearing a vintage 1930s silk "siren" dress, the kind with a fitted waist and body hugging draping. Wearing Carnal Flower is like wearing an artsy edgy wedding dress, like a Gaultier design. Wearing Beautiful Love is like wearing a Vera Wang. Simple, feminine, timeless, youthful, and elegant. It's the dress that everyone would love and remember well into your 25th anniversary. The "nice" classic dress that you originally tried on but overlooked. Now you see that it highlights your best features. I love this scent and I'm happy it waited for me!!

It opened with lovely green flowers, I think it's freesia which dominates to me at the opening. I do feel the sweetness of gardenia and mango. For me, as I do love floral's very much and tuberose is one of my most loved notes, I must say I really like this. The flowers work perfectly together and reminds me of very beautiful garden, filled with bunch of amazing flowers. I think it's really feminine, romantic and girly, because of the fruits which can be found here, but all in all this is a pleasure to my nose and my skin. This was a lovely surprise from another member who put this in our sample swap. What I love the most is that at the heart phase the earthy violet appears, so it makes everything even more perfect as I love violet. Ahh, I can't even judge this. Gimme tuberose and/or violet and I'm hooked for life. Lovely surprise this is.

Best of the 80s here but in a modern fragrance. A mix of the orignial Beautiful with some more of the 80s - Tuberose reminiscent of Giorgio Beverley Hills mixed with some greens, and coconutty peach gardenia (gardenia is coconut to me) syrupy but classy, sweet and slightly sour. Earthy patchouli and pepper gives it just that edge to kill the sweetness. Why was this discontinued. Hoarding my last third of a 30ml bottle now afraid to use it!

Imagine the soft scent of flowers dancing on air during a gentle spring rain. Love it, love it, love it! One of my favorites. Also, I sprayed it inside my bra cups two days ago, and it's still going lovely. (However, if you don't like florals, you won't like this one I suppose.)

This is a amazing every time when I smell this fragrance I feel full with love reminds me of cardinia bosssom in after raining. after 1 Hours, I smell edible jasmine.with very to kind sweetness what a great Positive fragrance so much in love on this smell.

I am crazy about this perfume I put it on my hand when i drink coffee So i can smell it very clear and live in my world peacfully My father bought it for me in 1997 then i kept buying it until now.. *2006.. wrong year

It was my signature when I was at college, so beautiful!! The name fits perfectly the scent. Ah, and it's also very unique. Everybody recognised me by this scent!

Dry down is the most beautiful and last forever, I’m not keen on the opening but to put up with opening to have that dry down is worth it.

Very, very floral. I love wearing this in spring time as it reminds me of fresh bouquets of flowers. It’s unusual for me to like such an intensely floral fragrance but I find this different than the run of the mill florals. The tuberose really sings in this one and keeps it interesting, it reminds me a little of Michael Korrs edp which is also rich in tuberose, but this one doesn’t give off that banana-like smell. At first spritz this is really quite potent and a little overpowering for me but after 5 minutes it settles down lovely and lasts all day. Unfortunately it’s discontinued now but I occasionally see it on eBay etc for anyone still interested in trying this.

It's a very likeable fragrance, very easy to wear by most women. I can totally see why it was marketed as a fragrance for your wedding day, it's very clean, pure and loveable and it awakens your inner sweetness. This fragrance worked well for me, I enjoyed wearing it especially during spring and early fall, but I didn't find anything very special about it. I didn't try to purchase it again.

It's beautiful but obnoxious - it hangs around for hours and hours, intruding into everything you do. It smells like a bouquet of flowers, and reminiscent of the late 80s/early 90s in my opinion. After having it on my skin for so long I realized I liked it - a lot. Very floral and romantic.

Soapy white flowers. It's a pleasant smell, but there's nothing particularly unique or must-have about it. It also has a tendency to give me a bit of a headache. The sillage is good though, and the scent is clean and wearable.

I don't usually like floral scents but this has a big kick of something really clean, citrusy and fesh that makes me keep sniffing it! This is my second favourite Estee Lauder fragrange after SENSUOUS - which is lush!

I like this perfume but I wear it very sparingly. There's something cloying about it that gives me a wicked headache if I apply too much. I wonder if it could be the Gardenia.

my tinnager ages perfume ;)14 yrs old til 17:) brought first love with a beautiful angly soul of it!

ALL I have to say about this perfume is that is very very strong and floral

I recived this as a gift. I didn't like it. This is a VERY FLORAL scent which are not my favorite apparently. I do like tuberose but it is just way too strong of a note in this bottle. Made my tummy sick, to put it nicely. I have it away. I picture a young 20 something rich girl wear this on her casual summer days at the beach.

This is a wowzer of a floral. I gave my bottle away to my girlfriend. I unfortunately get a headache when I wear certain scents. I do think it is a great summer scent. If you like this, try Summer Hill by Crabtree and Eyveln or White Diamonds Brilliant, or Elizabeth Arden's Splendor.

If you ever known Enchanter shampoo/bodywash, this is it. I used to love that bodywash coz it smells like perfume but when I own that perfume I don't like it. Feel like an old lady living in 90's.

A successful and worthy flanker to the original Beautiful. Just like that one this is an all floral fragrance. If you don't like flowers you can forget about it. This is a delicious sweet floral perfume for women who appreciate flowers. Can you imagine living on a planet devoid of flowers? So this fragrance starts off smelling floral right away. Magnolia! Yes! My favorite flower opens the show. There is a sweet mango as well. The scent is sweet but not cloying. The other flowers include: violet, tuberose, carnation, rose, jasmine Tiare and heliotrope. For whatever reason these flowers are a winning combination. Smells so good when put together. My 3 favorite flowers are in this perfume: magnolia, rose and Tiare. The result is luxurious lush and decadent but being a modern take on the first one less intense and more subtle. In fact I find myself reapplying and dousing myself with it many times throughout the day because I want to keep smelling this scent which is soft and barely detectable and has a short life. I do love it very much. It's a spring time floral fragrance for women who want to smell good. The dry down is also as good as the other moments in this perfume. It smells of vanilla (Tonka bean is vanilla) and of heliotrope as well as oak moss. However this does not wear like a traditional chypre. It's not woodsy enough. It's flowers for days. Love my flowers. Love my Estee Lauder Beautiful Love.
