Estée Lauder SpellBound is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1991, created by Sophia Grojsman. SpellBound opens with Fruity, Lemon, Rosewood, and Rose, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Estée Lauder's SpellBound carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

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.

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.
