Launched in 1987, Metropolis by Estée Lauder is a chypre fragrance crafted by Pierre Wargnye. This composition opens with bright and fresh notes of pineapple and peppermint, creating an invigorating contrast against the woody, earthy base of cedar, moss, and leather. The heart of lavender, neroli, and clary sage adds a soft floral touch that keeps the fragrance from becoming too heavy. Metropolis is a proof of Estée Lauder's legacy of blending modernity with classic elegance.

Application Tips
Apply one or two sprays to ensure the bright top notes don't overpower the deeper base. Allow it to settle for about 15 minutes before heading out; this allows the complex layers to blend harmoniously.

The story behind the bottle.
The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, in a bustling city café where the air is filled with the aroma of fresh spices and woodsy notes.
