Very heady florals, too well blended to pick out the rose, jasmine, tuberose, etc., but they're ALL in there and then some! The flowers seems to rest on a chypre-like base. Alltogether too lush for me.

Too much of everything; too sweet and too heady, this is a no-no for me. Tuberose is one of those funny notes - it can be the very thing that draws me to a fragrance, or the very thing that makes me gag a little. In the case of Beautiful, it's the latter. I'm not sure what tips the balance over (perhaps it's the fruity elements?), but something really really does. I've sniffed this perfume on others and have appreciated it, but I really can't stand it on my skin.

This, to me, is in the same category with the "Tiffany" signature scent, so those of you that can't get enough of Beautiful might also enjoy Tiffany.

It was the year beyond paradise launched. The duty free lady made me try their new launched scent i went on board and as i have enjoyed it so much that on the way back in a hurry i bought that wrong B. of Estee lauder. It was a disappointance. I tried to use it. Mandarin and rose is not a nice duo to me, jasmine and orange flowers were not the best quality and turned sour on my skin. The only compliment it take was from a taxi driver. I regretted i did not have bottle with me and give him away.

Beautiful is a beautiful floral scent if applied carefully. A few drops over the top and it will be too much.

This stank. Too strong and chemical like. I don't like most Estee Lauder perfumes because they're all outdated smelling scents. Okay, they stink.

I love this perfume on others. On my mother and sister it is marvelous, but on me...a lovely start and then about 10 or 15 minutes later it smells sharp and very very sour, fortuntely it fades completely away in about an hour. Odd that, most of my favorite perfumes in the world are Grosjman's creations. And the perfumes that constantly get me compliments are hers as well.
