Beautiful Belle
Beautiful Belle by Estée Lauder is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2018 in the designer price tier. It opens with lychee, rose and mimosa, moves into orange blossom, gardenia and tuberose and dries down to orris root, suede, musk and ambroxan. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lychee Rosy, watery and delicate. Sweet without being heavy.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Mimosa Soft, powdery, honeyed yellow flower. Gentle and comforting.
Heart
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
Dry-down
- Orris Root Iris root aged for years. Buttery, powdery, unmistakably refined.
- Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
