Estee Lauder's new "Beautiful Love"

I have seen on Estee Lauder's website for the US that there is a new fragrance "Beautiful Love". I know it is already available at their department store counters in my location, too, but I haven't been able to try it yet. Has anyone sampled this yet? If so, how do you like it?

I sniffed it today... it reminded me of Michael due to the heavy tuberose note. Not surprising, since Michael Kors fragraces are also under the Estee Lauder corporate umbrella (the Aramis/Designer Fragrances division, to be exact).

I also snifffed it today. Aat first I couldn't tell the difference between it and pleasures. Although, it has better staying power and less freesia. It seems to me. It's quite nice. Overall it feels harmless. I think it's magnolia. Does anyone know?

This new fragrance is an airy fruity floral with a distinct mango tone(called "mango mist") in the top notes. It has a sheerness that is foreign to the EL classic line, but it doesn't lack in strength. The fruit note is juicy and semi-pulpy without being too heavily drawn or candied, and yet initially it does tend to dominate the white florals beneath. There is supposed to be a vetiver note lurking somewhere below, but I couldn't find it. The jasmine is also treated with a light hand; it seems they were shooting for transparency and bouyancy. This doesn't mean a clarity as you'd find in something by Giacobetti. It's still quite a dense scent, just one with more space than the classics in that line.

As with all the rest of the EL scents, Beautiful Love smells like a Lauder. There's a signature handling to the line that is unmistakable.
