Beautiful is a beautiful scent. Alas, it is not for everyone - but it is for my mom. Mom has worn this for years, and every time she does, she gets compliments and queries in equal measure!
While I cannot analyze the fragrance, I would call it floral. It is a light scent, a delicate fragrance, but dont be fooled, you only need the tiniest bit. And given as well as it lasts, layering the fragrance works very well. Actually, Mom rarely uses her cologne in the winter, after she has used her shower gel, cream or lotion, and occasional powder, she doesnt need to. Just the body products are enough to carry the Beautiful scent all day.
It is an Estee Lauder fragrance, so do expect to spend a decent chunk of change. But it is also very pleasing to many people. The odor is very popular, and , except for its strength when applied to heavily, odds are that most will like it.
Beautiful is as beautiful does - strong, and distinctive.
