Beyond Paradise
Beyond Paradise by Estée Lauder is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2003 in the designer price tier. It opens with hyacinth and orange blossom, moves into orchid, jasmine and honeysuckle and dries down to ambrette seed. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Hyacinth Cold, green, watery floral. Smells like early spring.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Heart
- Orchid Creamy, sweet and slightly synthetic. A modern florals staple.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Honeysuckle Sweet, nectar-like and slightly green. Summer hedgerow.
Dry-down
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
