Monday appears like a good day to discuss these– as it’s Easter week, I’ve chosen the bonnet and top hat however I can’t state that they’re my outright favourites. Again, I’m referencing the book, The Estee Lauder Solid Perfume Collection 1967-2001 by Roselyn Gerson which you can still get pre-owned (although it’s pricey) HERE. She had fantastic access to the sketches by the Estee Lauder style team.
A basic trend across all the strong scents (besides extremely early models) is that crystals command more money! The fragrance in this one is Dazzling Gold and has actually deteriorated more than any of the others. The scent has more or less gone entirely.
