American Beauty Beloved Purple Blossom

In March American Beauty, the Estee Lauder brand exclusive to Kohls will bring out a new flanker to the American Beauty line called American Beauty Beloved Purple Blossom. When I read the note list I wanted to try it. I have not, though , ever smelled any of the previous scents.

I was attracted to the Lilac note especially. It's not too common to see a lilac note. The lilac isn't overly pronounced here but does show up some. A half hour into the drydown is when the lilac begins to pop most. More predominant are the honeysuckle and peony to my nose. Other notes include: jasmine sambac, gardenia, and mimosa.

The scent comes out a little watery floral than full floral but also with plenty of spring flowers. The flowers come out more as it dries down. It's light but noticeable and simply pretty.


The bottle is very old fashioned boudoir looking, and is the same as the previous bottles only with a lilac ribbon and cap topper. It reminds me of Penhaligons of England bottles in a way and I love vintage style of it.

American Beauty Beloved Purple Blossom is available in March only at Kohls and Kohls.com and sells for $39.50
