HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011 by Estée Lauder, Adventurous is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance that captures the essence of exploration and discovery. It opens with green notes and red berries, creating an immediate sense of freshness and vibrancy. The heart combines lotus and jasmine with heliotrope, adding layers of floral sweetness and depth. The base notes of caramel, vetiver, and musk ground the composition in a warm, powdery embrace that lingers on the skin.
Adventurous has a bright top note that fades within an hour, so apply two sprays for the full effect. The caramel and musk base notes take time to bloom, so give it at least 30 minutes before heading out.
