Intuition

Estée Lauder Intuition is a modern reformulation that leans into green, citrus, and floral accords with a dry-down dominated by amber and precious woods. It opens with a crisp, slightly spicy citrus and green note before settling into a cold, almost frozen floral—reminiscent of a chilled gardenia or bergamot-washed flower. The scent evolves into a surprisingly cool amber with subtle skin-like nuances, a detail that many users find distinctive, though some interpret it as an elusive or even metallic quality. Despite a moderate sillage and longevity, the fragrance lacks the depth or complexity of earlier versions, with many noting it feels streamlined, underdeveloped, and suggestive rather than expressive. It leans masculine in tone due to its sharp green facets and cool amber base, making it more suited for mature, confident wearers who appreciate a minimalist, intelligent scent. It's not overtly sweet or seductive, evoking a quiet power—ideal for daytime occasions, especially in spring and autumn.
