The story behind the bottle.
Desert Eden by Estée Lauder was launched in 2021 and is a creation of perfumer Anne Flipo. The fragrance opens with the warmth of sandalwood, leading to a heart of Turkish Rose and settling into an earthy base note of olibanum. This composition captures the spiritual atmosphere of ancient temples, where the sense of serenity blends with the intoxicating smell of burning incense and precious woods.
Apply Desert Eden lightly to pulse points for an intimate experience that stays close to your skin. The sandalwood top note fades quickly, but the lingering warmth of Turkish Rose and olibanum makes this fragrance perfect for a cozy evening at home.
