Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche Skinscent 2017
by Estée Lauder
An airy, sun-drenched fragrance that evokes the feeling of a tropical beach vacation. It opens with a bright, tart citrus blossom that feels both fresh and soft—more like sun-warmed orange than minty citrus—melding into a creamy, coconut-laced core where tiare flower and gentle floral notes breathe with warm vanilla and amber. Sandalwood and myrrh ground the drydown, adding body to the otherwise light and sheer structure. The scent is subtle, lying close to the skin, with a subtle warmth that blooms in heat. It feels deeply comforted and quiet, more like a skin scent than a bold projection. While many find it enduring throughout summer days, others note it fades quickly. Some describe a musty or dusty nuance on the drydown, while others report a glistening coconut, creamy vanilla, and a heady délicious balance of beach and forest. It’s a soft, sophisicated, tropical escape that rarely feels overwhelming or sticky—ideal for warm days and blending with other fragrances to deepen its presence.
