The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

SpellBound by Estée Lauder was launched in 2014, crafted by perfumer Sophia Grojsman. This fragrance opens with the sweetness of apricot and lily-of-the-valley before transitioning into a heart of rose and carnation, balanced by cardamom's spicy warmth. The base notes of sandalwood, amber, and vanilla create an enveloping warmth that feels both cozy and elegant. SpellBound is a composition designed to evoke a sense of enchantment and refinement.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The apricot top note fades quickly, but the cardamom and rose heart notes provide a lingering warmth that pairs well with evening wear.

As a child, in Belarus, this perfume queen-to-be would run around the garden smelling roses and jasmine, leaving her toys untouched, dismissed.
