The story behind the bottle.
Very Estee by Estée Lauder was launched in 2012 as an embodiment of the brand's signature elegance and sophistication. This Floral Woody Musk fragrance opens with the freshness of freesia, cassis, and pink pepper, creating a bright and aromatic entrance. The heart is anchored by Bulgarian rose and gardenia, giving way to a warm, powdery base of musk, cashmere wood, cedar, and sandalwood. Very Estee balances floral sweetness with woody depth, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
One or two sprays are enough to capture its subtle complexity. The fragrance develops over time, so it’s best applied a few minutes before you leave for your day.
