The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Created by Evelyn Lauder for Estée Lauder in a nod to the brand's legacy of elegant sophistication, Dazzling Gold is a floral masterpiece that captures the essence of femininity and warmth. The fragrance opens with fresh fig leaf and cassia, creating an intriguing contrast between crisp green notes and warm spices. This initial burst gives way to a heart of passion flower, red berries, and freesia, which infuses the composition with vibrant fruitiness and delicate florals. The base notes of exotic woods, amber, and vanilla provide depth and longevity, enveloping the wearer in a comforting embrace.

How to wear it

Apply Dazzling Gold with two sprays on pulse points for optimal longevity. The fresh top notes are fleeting, but the heart and base notes develop over time, creating a warm and inviting scent that lingers close to the skin throughout the day.
