The 2024 Estee Lauder Legacy Collection is curated by Frederic Malle, with perfumers Anne Flipo, Carlos Benaïm and Bruno Jovanovic.
‘Mrs. Lauder’s vision of crisp simplicity and freedom”, an aldehydic floral with rose, jasmine, musk, vetiver, cedar and labdanum.’
‘In Lauder’s day, perfumers combined base scents that were “like premixed mini-perfumes” to create a final fragrance. They contained things that weren’t necessary and created background noise. To update the formulas, any nonessential ingredients in those bases were stripped away — “it’s like cleaning up.”‘- Frederic Malle
