SpellBound

by Sophia Grojsman

Estée Lauder SpellBound is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1991, created by Sophia Grojsman. The fragrance opens with Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Rosewood, and Apricot, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lily, Orange Blossom, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Civet, Vetiver, Sandalwood, and Opoponax.

Our verdict on SpellBound: Acquired

This 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, SpellBound is pure magic. It's a heady, unapologetic declaration of confidence, though beware the reformulation roulette - the vintage is where the true enchantment lies.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and potent character, SpellBound is best reserved for evening dates and formal events where it can truly shine without overwhelming. It's too assertive for casual or office wear, especially in its vintage formulation.

About

SpellBound opens with a bold, spicy embrace of carnation and cardamom, sweetened by juicy apricot and a bouquet of white florals like tuberose and jasmine. As it settles, a warm, resinous amber and sandalwood base emerges, deepened by a hint of civet and creamy vanilla. It's a rich, dense, and intoxicating aroma that commands attention.
