Estee Lauder Cinnabar Eau de Parfum - 50 ml

Product Information

Thumbs down: I found a just-before-the-most-recent reformulation of the edp on a dusty bottom shelf of an Ulta in the middle of nowhere and excitedly tested out the still oakmoss-laden classic hoping to score a large bottle to use with abandon. While the original radiated warmth and depth and a deceptively wholesome sensuality, this formulation came on with no subtlety. The top notes: a cacophany of citrus and citronella. The drydown grew stronger by the hour somehow, wilting into Christmas potpourri. I believe synthetic sandalwood was mixed with the still real oakmoss extract to dissonant effect. Or perhaps the known enforced reduction of oakmoss content created an imbalance in the formula? At any rate a jarring asymmetry made this Cinnabar unrecognizable.

I have a bottle now (as pictured above, older formulation), I am wearing it—and I am loving it. Perhaps some of it comes from memory association, having recalled smelling it during what seemed to be simpler times; after all, I had a simpler brain and the last time this was worn in abundance I had yet to enter adolescence). However, as I now wear it, I don't immediately have the association with a matronly type or a 70s femme fatale, even. In 2021, the anxieties of gendering don't seem quite entrenched, and I do not feel emasculated in the least by wearing Cinnabar (as if that should be a concern anyhow). After all, there is Aramis JHL, the less floral counterpart that was geared to men (also marvelous but steering more into pines and woods direction) and there are other spiced orientals such as Jaipur Homme (the EDP is especially similar to Cinnabar). However, Cinnabar has its own exoticism and intrigue that sets it apart. Oud / Attar 80+ Options - premium Perfume Oil/ Attar / Musk / Oud / Fragrance/ Aftershave/ Cologne *High Quality & Long Lasting* Peach, bergamot, orange blossom, clove, mandarin and spices make up the head notes of this perfume. Next heart notes of rose, ylang-ylang, carnations, cinnamon and jasmine move in. The fragrance finishes off with a base of benzoin, vanilla, incense, vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli, musk and tolu balm. (Vetiver, sometimes called khus, is a grass similar to citronella and native to India.) The predominantly oriental tone here will sweep you into another time and place at twilight. Travel-Size Bottle |I hesitated for so long to even so much as imagine owning a bottle, having admired it discreetly for so long, as it was deemed strictly a woman's fragrance. I mustered the courage several years ago to sneak a spray of it from the Estee Lauder counter and I was immediately smitten. However, at the time, I never thought I'd actually WEAR it.

Musk-Animalic Collection-6 Classic Natural Musk perfume tinctures-Pheromones-Aphrodisiacs-Sampler set Love the potent and decadent opulence of the amber, vanilla and patchouli notes; does remind me of holidays in the sun by the sea... Cinnabar is warm, mysterious, endlessly appealing spicy scent. Jasmine, Orange Flower, Clove and Patchouli blend intriguingly into an intense, sensual experience.

I quite liked Cinnabar when I was in my teens and early 20s in the late 1980s; though it always seemed to be a poor imitation of Opium, so I never actually had a bottle. In the early 90s, I had a horrible boss who always wore Cinnabar, which put me off from trying a tester of it again until today: and I'm wishing I hadn't: A pleasant tanginess leads into the base, and it turns out to be derived from clove with a well-placed component of some ambery orris. This turns into a gently crisp spiciness owing to an underlying layer of darkish patchouli. The ylang-ylang sweetness, however, stands its ground and is now fortified by a dense but not too heavy tonka impression.

The perfumes of the 1970s and the 1920s had a lot in common. Aldeyhydic florals were chic as hell and bitter chypres were all the rage, but the voluptuous orientals were the shit. Cinnabar and its exact contemporaries Yves Saint Laurent Opium and Lancome Magie Noire reinvented animalsim via spice and opened the door to a new style of oriental perfume that Chanel put on the map with Coco, Bois Noir and Egoiste. Cinnabar is a luxurious fragrance by Estée Lauder and the signature scent of many a woman. It has been turning heads since 1978. This persisting parfum leaves a fragranced cloud in its wake since the concentration of essences is quite high. Most eau de parfums have between 15-20%. The fresh, romantic ambience of a floral-white, such as this one, sets it apart from all other fragrance-families and makes it a top choice for . Common notes in "whites" are freesia, magnolia, water lily and lotus. Spice up Your Life

A peachy-peary fruity start is given a spiciness as if boiled in a spice soup for several hours.
