Review

I think the Estee Lauder youth dew perfume should be re-named ‘Vintage Dew’ as it smells quite vintage like the type of perfume your grandmother used to wear. The colour of the perfume looks thick and brown. I was a bit taken aback by its strength. It smells old-fashioned but I was not sure exactly what I could smell. After several hours the strength of the perfume mellowed and it smelt quite nice, like a warm amber with a hint of floral notes. I preferred the smell when it mellowed rather than the first spray. Even when the perfume mellowed, I could still smell it without having to move my wrist close to my nose. It’s a long-lasting scent so good for that reason. I love the bottle it’s in more than the perfume. It reminds me of a lady’s dress with a gold bow at the waist. The bottle was designed the same as their 1950’s original bath oil bottle. 

Score

I score Estee Lauder youth dew perfume 6/10. The price is astounding for a such a good brand. The bottle is lovely with like pleats in the design. But as I base the score on the smell alone the score is what it is. If I included the price and the bottle design it would get a 9.

Pros

  • Great if you love a strong vintage smelling perfume
  • Long lasting smell stays on for hours and hours
  • Reminds me of a potion
  • Lovely feminine bottle with gold ribbon
  • The price is very cheap for this brand

Cons

  • Vintage smell
