Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for various settings without being overpowering. The clean, classic floral profile lends itself well to daytime wear and casual elegance, while its sophisticated character can also work for dates or formal events, though perhaps not as the main showstopper.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Estee Legacy opens with a bright, aldehydic floral burst, reminiscent of classic perfumery but with a contemporary clarity. Ylang-ylang takes centre stage, lending a creamy, subtly tropical sweetness, beautifully interwoven with the clean, powdery facets of jasmine and a hint of spicy carnation. As it settles, a delicate rose emerges, softened by a touch of honey, all resting on a clean, comforting musk base that lingers elegantly on the skin.
