The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 by Estée Lauder, Estee Legacy is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women created by renowned perfumer Carlos Benaïm. The composition opens with bright yellow florals that blend seamlessly into the heart of white and rose notes, creating an elegant floral bouquet. The warm spicy and musky base adds depth and comfort, grounding the scent in a sophisticated yet approachable aroma.
One or two sprays are enough for this fragrance, which builds subtly on skin over time. It pairs well with everyday wear and maintains its warmth through both daytime and evening activities.
