Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

The radiant bouquet of white florals and citrus makes Beautiful ideal for spring and summer, when uplifting, breezy scents shine. Its richness and woody base also carry well into mild autumn days, but it is less suited to very cold winter wear.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Polished but not overpowering, Beautiful is romantic enough for dates and graceful for the office. Its classic floral profile works for most occasions except sporty or highly informal settings.

About

Beautiful Eau de Parfum surrounds you in a radiant, opulent bouquet of white florals-tuberose, rose, orange blossom, and lily-buoyed by sparkling citruses and a gentle green freshness. The heart is lush and romantic, supported by creamy sandalwood and soft musk in the base. Its sillage is graceful and refined, projecting poise and optimism without ever becoming overpowering. This is a signature that feels timeless and uplifting, perfectly suited for the woman who values classic femininity and elegance.
