As you would imagine made with over two thousand flowers this is a very floral fragrance and on first spray this is apparent, however as it settles down the overpowering floral tone are calmed down by the sandalwood and you are left with a deliciously heady scent which on me smells of lilies with the underlying scent of Jasmine, with a slightly wood edge, sometimes I detect a hint of citrus as well.

The fragrance is strong and long lasting, but still suitable for day time as well as evening; in fact I can't think of a situation that you would not be able to wear this perfume. One spray before you go to work should be sufficient to see you through the day, or one spray before you go out in the evening should last all night.

People have commented when I have been wearing this saying you smell beautiful so it certainly lives up to its name.

You can buy Estee Lauder Beautiful from some Chemists and Department Stores at around £30.00 for a small 30ml bottle or £65.00 for 100ml. Not at the cheaper end of the fragrance scale but the delicious smell and longevity of the scent on the skin sells it for me.
