Estée Lauder: Youth Dew, Eau de Parfum

I have been using Estee Lauder Youth Dew for as long as I can remember. My Mum used to wear it as well many years ago. It is one of those scents that you can't mistake for another thats similar, as I don't think there is another smell like it. It comes in a talll slim ridged bottle that goes in smaller in the middle a bit like a womans waist would. With a gold ribbon tied round the middle and a tall gold lid fitting for a Queen as to me this is the Queen of Scents. This perfume has a very dark brown look to it unlike some others that look very light and pale. When having a spray you will need the smallest amount as it is very strong and if you went to mad ...  Read the complete review

Classic, that's Youth Dew. A perfume that carries memories every bit as strong as its aroma. It was my mum who wore this perfume, initially only wearing it as her 'secret weapon' or ring of confidence, that extra touch of va-va-voom to top off her evening wear as she and my dad went off socialising at the country club. That was in the seventies, when women started to learn about independence, about choice. Freed from the earlier constraints of fashion, everything was bold and.. well... perhaps a little brassy. Youth Dew wasn't brassy though, oh no. Youth Dew was classy. Mum started out wearing it for 'special ...  Read the complete review

Estee Lauder Youth Dew reminds me of Christmas. It reminds me of my youth and the smell of dressed up ladies walking past me going to the theatre or out for a meal. Quite a heady perfume if you use too much it is one that smells delicious on other people but you can't smell on yourself...or at least I can't...therefore I tend to spray a lot more which must make me really stink. I love Youth Dew and always have some around for nostalgic reasons. At one time it was one of the top perfumes, so many others have been created now. There is one major problem I have found with it though. You must be very careful of your clothes when ...  Read the complete review

Oh! What I can tell you about this perfume! It is an unmistakable perfume that gives an aroma which stays with you all night. If it were a food you would want to eat it. The perfume has a scent that is totally moorish. But beware! You do not need to over do it. It lasts for hours and hours. It is a heady blend that needs and gives confidence. Once others have had a whiff of this aroma, believe me, they never forget the name or the assault on their senses. It speaks of Woman ! I love it and wear it with complete confidence. To me it is my personal signature. Enjoy ! I first started wearing Youth Dew many years ago in my youth.As time went by I thought ...  Read the complete review

Youth Dew is the most amazing perfume. I put it with those 'timeless' perfumes - something Estee Lauder does really well. It never goes out of fashion and makes you feel warm and sexy (in a classy way, not a 'jordan' way). My Mum used to wear this when i was young and i associate it with hugs and cashmere. Despite this, it is not an older lady's perfume, it is as fashionable and relevent today as it has always been. It is musky and slightly heavy (if you like Obsession you will like this) and it lasts all day. It is one of those perfumes that leaves wafts behind you as you walk around. If you are fed up with 'flowery' perfumes and all those ...  Read the complete review
