The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Private Collection Legacy, launched in 2024 by Estée Lauder and crafted by perfumer Anne Flipo, is an aromatic chypre that marries crisp green notes with a musky earthiness. The fragrance opens with fresh spicy and herbal accords, creating a vibrant contrast before settling into a mossy and white floral base that adds depth and warmth without overpowering. This composition reflects Estée Lauder's legacy of blending elegance with modernity.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow its complex notes to unfold gradually. The green and spicy top notes are most impactful during the first hour, while the musky base will provide a subtle warmth throughout the day.
