Adventurous

Estée Lauder Adventurous is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Adventurous opens with Red Berries, Green, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lotus, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Caramel, Vetiver, and Musk. Estée Lauder's Adventurous carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. A sharp, green opening hits you like a slap, then it mellows into a surprisingly soft, caramel-laced floral. Doesn't quite live up to its 'Adventurous' name, but a decent enough skin scent for those who can ride out the initial blast.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its low sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for casual wear and daily office use, provided you can handle the initial green sharpness, as it dries down to a subtler skin scent. It's not bold enough for formal events but its gentle character could work for a relaxed daytime date.

About

Adventurous opens with a blast of sharp, green notes and a hint of tart red berries from the off. Mandarin adds a fleeting sparkle before the floral heart emerges- a mix of dewy lotus and sweet jasmine, softened by powdery heliotrope. The dry-down is unexpected; a warm, slightly classy caramel weaves through a gentle musk and earthy vetiver, creating a 'grown-up' gourmand feel that lingers close to the skin.
