Estée Lauder Dazzling Silver is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998, created by Evelyn Lauder. Dazzling Silver opens with Green, Lily, Lotus, and Vanilla, settles into a heart of Passion Flower, Rose, Jasmine, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Magnolia. Estée Lauder's Dazzling Silver carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent-some reckon it's a unique, icy masterpiece, others find it sharp, synthetic, and just a bit too much. It's not for everyone, but if you like your florals with a metallic, cold edge, you might just love its 'dazzling' intensity.

Its significant sillage and strong, distinctive character make it a bit much for intimate office settings, but it's refined enough for formal events. The unique blend of fresh, green accords and dominant florals makes it an interesting choice for dates or casual wear, especially in spring, though some find it too sharp for daily wear.

About

Dazzling Silver opens with a crisp, almost startling rush of aldehydes and green apple, evoking a fresh, dewy chill. The heart unfurls into a cool bouquet of white florals, dominated by lily and lily-of-the-valley, with a touch of orchid and jasmine adding a watery, clean depth. As it settles, a clean musk and soft sandalwood emerge, underpinned by a hint of cedar, leaving a polished, cool, and subtly woody trail that's both elegant and a touch aloof.
