Beyond Paradise by Estée Lauder

This masterpiece literally smells like the world of Pandora in Avatar. That’s exactly what it is. An exquisite fragrance, just like the inhabitants there. It’s a prismatic floral: exotic and rare flowers dancing in harmony. Much of its ingredients come from the Eden Project, the world’s largest ecological center. When I first tried it, I thought of an innocent, feminine girl, but it’s not childish or simple; it smells of timeless beauty, perfect for girls, young women, adults, and mature women, as long as you are a woman confident in your charm. It’s a special potion, housed in a colorful, rounded bottle with silver details, like a reserve of wild flora. I remember the ad with Madonna’s song ‘Love Profusion’ and model Carolyn Murphy walking through the sea among flowers and fairies. I will forever hate EL for discontinuing that beautiful design, even though there is a linear version. For all women, of all ages and beliefs, who want to celebrate themselves and say ‘I love me’. Fragrance rating: 1,000,000 out of 10.

Searching for hard-to-find classics from the house in Catalunya, I stumbled upon one of the eight: Estee, Spellbound, Azuree, Aliage Sport, Tuscany, Cinnabar, Intuition, and Beyond Paradise. It’s a varied and delightful collection. Beyond Paradise surprised me: ingredients I love, a fresh work of art with sweet touches and great power. The opening is a potent burst of citrus and flowers that hints at its longevity. Then it settles, letting other florals take center stage to add depth. It’s an exotic, unique floral, far from being beachy or bland; it’s a masterful blend, not strident. It lasts over twelve hours on my skin with a strong trail for two hours. It evokes a distant beach with flowers under the sun. I recommend it for collectors and lovers of the tropical.

It’s one of the most delicious perfumes I’ve ever tried and worn. I wish they hadn’t discontinued it. No matter how hard I search for a replacement, nothing compares. I remember it as warm and enveloping without being heavy, with a trail that earned me countless compliments. An exquisite white floral with incredible longevity. Wearing it made me so happy; it was my signature scent for years.

I’m on my second bottle. It’s rich, like filling a bucket with jasmine and orange blossom and jumping in. The flowers smell so real they’re impressive, with nothing synthetic. It lasts about seven hours on my skin, and clothes smell until washed. It works for any season and age. It’s so rich that every time I use it, I’m impressed.

An exquisite perfume that evokes a paradisiacal beach for me. One day while cleaning, I found a cologne that smelled exactly like this: Solinotes’ Fleur de Frangipanier, which costs only 10 euros for 50ml. I’m thrilled to have found something so similar at a better price, because paying 50 for 30ml wasn’t exactly my thing.

Beyond Paradise (2003). A very fresh, fun, and colorful fragrance. The super original bottle fits perfectly with its contents: an explosion of colors and fresh, airy sensations. A fragrance that doesn’t get old, a beautiful and subtle creation by the house.

I was gifted this over 5 years ago and still have half the bottle left. It’s a distinctive, oily, floral scent. I definitely detect lotus flower. I adore it; it’s as ethereal as it is irresistible and very long-lasting.

An exquisite perfume, very feminine, suitable for any age and day or night; it doesn’t go unnoticed; the name describes it all. I haven’t been able to find it in years, what a pity; few perfumes are like this one.

Beautiful, fresh, exotic, mysterious, elegant, and original. If dewdrops had a scent, this would be it. It’s floral, fresh, luminous, and cheerful—my favorite, the one I identify with most. I love it.

Absolutely beastly and original! Its notes are paradisiacal; it seduces and lasts softly but with presence. Great for feeling cheerful and confident. Kudos to the creators; it’s one of my favorites!

It’s spectacular, sweet, and feminine, very persistent: you either love it or find it heavy. I love it. I thought they had discontinued it, but it’s still around, so it’ll be my next purchase.

This is an almost aquatic floral fragrance. What sticks with me most is Madonna’s ‘Love Profusion’ music video with the fairies; it perfectly describes Beyond Paradise.

The bottle is pretty, but the experience wasn’t for me. I couldn’t stand it and gave it away. I absolutely hated it.

I love the bottle design; it’s a total hit. It smells like a trapped rainbow—rich and full of color.

I really like it.
