Bronze Goddess Eau de Parfum 2025

The perfume has just arrived and I am absolutely thrilled. I love the Eau Fraîche version, of which I’ve already had about three 100 ml bottles. As soon as I found out that this is a stronger and slightly sweeter version, I immediately went for it blind and I don’t regret it at all! The scent is beautiful, it’s stronger and really slightly sweeter, but it still smells like a gorgeous sweet sun oil! Absolutely, if you love Eau Fraîche, go for it — it’s a hundred times better.....

This 2026 release of Bronze Goddess Eau de Parfum smells like a cross between Bronze Goddess Eau de Parfum 2019 and Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche 2019. To me it is a perfect mix between the two. I thought the BG EDP was a little too heavy and that the BG EF was a little too light. So this one is perfect for me! Looking forward to wearing it this summer.

I completely agree with MarcyAlexis this is the perfect mix of Bronze Goddess Eau de Parfum 2019 and Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche 2019. This 2025 Bronze Goddess EDP is a more concentrated version. I sprayed a tester on my wrist and 6 hours later and multiple hand washes I could still smell its depth. Amorous, tropical, and DELICIOUS.

This is spot on the original DNA of Bronze Goddess! But stronger and longer lasting. What i love about this version is the bitter-citrusy opening, it provides a nice contrast with the creamy sweetness of the heart. Luxurious, classy and unisex leaning.

I’m so impressed with this new version. It’s strong and lasts! Is is just like the original Avon scent but with the added strength and longevity. Perfect beach summer scent I’m in love.

In short, this EDP is the original launch scent of Bronze Goddess back in the day when it was an EDT.... Which to most perfume addicts and history buffs, does not come as a great suprise. Every now and again, some of the Private Collection of Estee Lauder perfumes were rebranded into the Aerin range and were reduced to weaker versions...or the disappeared into Clinque and even Tom Ford... and so on. I tested the EDP yesterday in Boots UK and yes, it smells from the bottle exactly like the original launch bottle years ago. BUT... it does not last like the old formulation either, but it is better than the past few years of thr EDT and more faithful to the original DNA. So what on earth happened ..? Well,.... Lauder have messed with the ingredients again and as most of you are aware, a scent can weaken regarding ingredients not whether it is a parfum or EDT - yes it's true, you can can have an EDT formula pumping out more scent and lasting than an EDP formula, because of the different ingredients in both yet branded the same name and from the same company. The body cream that Estee Lauder launched for a brief moment in time waa FABULOUS it was insanely good and layered with the EDT it just lasted and lasted. It had all thr coconuts and tiare blend you could ever dream of and It was intoxicating... addictive! We used to joke at work (Lauder) that most stores only needed a beach hut counter with Bronze Goddess and the body creams and we'd make targets for the year by end of August! It was THAT good. We also felt that Emerald Isle needed to be put into our imaginary beach hut counter too, with a woven wide brimmed hat and beach bag if they also bought Night Repair lol I digress. It is the saddest thing that the vacation scent everyone looked forward to each year has sunk into the pits of nothingness and Estee Lauder have zero passion nor a clue regarding treasuring their greatest scents and the body care that goes with it. Body care in niche and designer perfumes is massive and it is growing again, like it did in the 90s. In the 90s we had Chanel etc producing body creams for all of their perfumes and those creams were heavily scented. Today we have Fenty, Parfums De Marly, Sol De Janero, Diptique, Chanel, Dior etc pumping out hair Mists body creams etc and I love it. Let's pray Lauder marketing actually read reviews here and start giving the Bronze Goddess lovers their perfume and body cream back in the original heavy-scent formula ! I buy Next "Summer Sun" for £20 in the UK for my Bronze Goddess fix. The Next version is like the original and has a 4-5 hour longevity on my skin especially when applied on top of fresh washed skin prepped with body oil. Summer Sun is cheap as chips and still gives us Bronze Goddess Lovers our "hit" of fabulousness without feeling short changed. ESTEE LAUDER GROUP I would happily pay a lot of money for a faithful EDP or Extrait of the original Bronze Goddess and body Cream - in the words of Cheraye.. " I MOVE ON ! "

Edit: Wait!!! Okay so once I tried this on skin, it totally changed from how it was on test strips. On paper, the lemon overwhelmed everything, but on skin, the lemon quickly dissipates and you get this great bitter bergamot with the myrrh, sandalwood, and slight vanilla coming through (they were absent on paper). It's actually really nice on skin! Testing on paper is totally misleading with this one. ~~~~ To me, the addition of lemon here gives it an air freshener & disinfectant wipes type scent that overshadows the other notes. The previous EdP doesnt have any citrus, and the Eau Fraiche only has bergamot

To my nose, this is not like 2019 EDP, which was lovely. There's a freshness aspect to it that seems to clash with the creaminess of tiare and coconut. I am not sure it's a mix of the EDP and eau fraiche either. Seems like a standalone to me.

This literally disappears as soon as it touches my skin. I smell nothing.

First of all; I’m a true Bronze Goddess queen! I have every fragrance release and flanker apart from Capri. This new release is undoubtedly the original Eau Fraiche but with stronger projection and longevity. The Eau Fraiche is a skin scent that has become weaker and weaker as the years have passed. This new Eau de Parfum is basically what the original Eau Fraiche once was. I’m getting a solid 4hrs out of it on skin before it becomes a skin scent. On clothes it lasts a little longer, maybe pushing towards 6hrs. Essentially, if you love the original then you’ll love this. Do note, this is not the same scent dna as previous Bronze Goddess Eau de Parfums. This is simply the Eau Fraiche but stronger. I’m pleased to have a stronger fragrance with the original dna but I’m equally annoyed to not have a new twist on the dna or maybe even the return of the previous Eau de Parfum (2017/2019) as that’s also a discontinued beauty.

Oh I love this. My first perfume was the 2015 Eau Fraiche Skinscent in the clear ombre orange and yellow bottle, this smells like the original skinscent!! I have the newer versions of that and it's much lighter, less depth. The orange bottle is more woody/aromatic. This new Parfum is reminiscent of the 2015 than I've ever found, and add a pinch of the new 2019 EDP as one reviewer mentioned. I plan on layering this with the EDP! It's gorgeous. Don't expect some deep dark scent. This is still light and airy. Think: this is an EDP version of the EDT 2015 Skinscent. 👌👌👌 2015 notes were: Top notes are Sicilian Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Orange and Lemon; middle notes are Tiare Flower, Jasmine, Magnolia and Orange Blossom; base notes are Coconut Milk, Vanilla, Amber, Sandalwood, Vetiver and Myrrh. (Nearly identical to this release.) I am so stoked..I will be wearing this all summer long. 🍉🌞🌞🌞🍍🍍☀️☀️☀️⛱️⛱️

This is exactly the same perfume but in a different colored bottle...it's not new tried it in macys the other day.

Way to go E L! You nailed it! ...fondly remembering those days working on an EL counter.

does anyone else smell cola in this perfume or my skin has a problem
