Precious and quite rare...like a gathering of flowers, green leaves and spices from your private greenhouse. Introduced to the world in 1973, Private Collection had long been reserved by Mrs. Estée Lauder for her own personal use. In love with the floral freshness of the scent, her friends finally insisted that this private masterpiece be made public. Fragrance Type: Floral/Green Top Notes: Honeysuckle, Jasmine, Citrus Middle Notes: Orange Flower, Ylang-Ylang, Coriander Base Notes: Sandalwood, Patchouli

Lovely...my official work perfume

August 9, 2012

"I will start off by saying that Youth Dew Bath Oil is my signature winter scent and the best thing I've ever smelled. It has made me a fiercely loyal Estee Lauder customer.

Much to my chagrin, summer in Texas is not exactly Youth Dew-friendly weather. So, I headed straight to the EL counter for Private Collection. Lovely! It is the perfect summer fragrance. While Youth Dew is all warm, spicy, powdery oriental, Private Collection is all cool, green, ennervating chypre.

I came to appreciate perfume only a few years ago (in my mid-thirties), so this is the first chypre I've ever owned and worn. I love the way it changes throughout the day and constantly suprises me.

As with all EL fragrances, it has excellent lasting power and just enough sillage to tantalize others around you without offending or overwhelming them. Highly recommended!"

One In My Collection !!!

May 31, 2011

"If you read all my reviews you will see that I am an Estee fanatic. I do like 3 other cologne's better than this one but it is one of the few in my collection. I use this one on ocassion but prefer some of the others for everyday. If you go to Macy's please go by the cosmetic counter and find a bottle of Estee Lauder cologne for yourself, you will be glad you did. Although I love the Private collection, i still prefer the Youth Dew and the Azure..., However, It is a 5* cologne..."

Totally unique experience in fragrances!!!

February 25, 2011

"Private Collections is my signature fragrance.
I have wore it for decades. I have tried many others, gorgio, channel, etc. that cost more. But I always come back to Private collection. It is such a special smell that is both alluring and refreshing. I have gotten many compliments on the perfum. Gentlemen often refer to the smell of this fragrance as LETHAL!!! I agree. Buy it, you'll love it!!!

What a Scent, This is a wonderful scent and Value!

November 6, 2010

"I ordered this for a dear friend of mine, whose husband is quite ill, she will be thrilled to get it I know because it is one of my very favorite scents. The value is equally great. Anyone who desires to be noticed when you walk by someone else, for smelling so good, I recommend you purcahse this cologne. You will not be sorry.When you wear something like this, it makes you feel so good, no matter how down you may feel, and the fact macys carries such quality items and for such a great value, is a real plus in my book,way to go Macys!!!"

Classic!

September 29, 2010

"I have worn this fragrance so long, have tried many others and nothing comes close. I can't express how sad I am that you can no longer purchase the dusting powder, It truly was special.
The newer fragrances Estee Lauder has created just don't compare!"

One of my all time favorites

November 24, 2009

"This was one of my mothers favorite fragrances that she started wearing in the 70's. I remember going with my father to pick out the gift set for her for Christmas. I love this scent. It reminds me of the 70's woman; excited for the promise of the women's movement. Its feminine confident and glamorous without being cloying. I think it is a complex fragrance that I would call green/herbal/citrusy more then floral. It is very "70's" It falls into the same category as Charlie, Pheromone, and even Clinique's Aromatics Elixir (but not nearly as strong as AE). I usually treat myself to a bottle every few years when the holiday blockbuster is available and I always get compliments when I wear it."

Estee Lauder PRIVATE COLLECTION Perfume & Lotion

November 20, 2009

"Started wearing Estee Lauder 4 decades ago because my best friend's grandmother, whom I loved so much, wore Youth Dew. When I was around 18, I started buying my own perfume and bought Youth Dew and PRIVATE COLLECTION. Ever since then, I have been wearing PRIVATE COLLECTION perfume and the lotion. My best friend was so touched by the fact that her grandmother was my inspiration to buy EL that she started buying the set for me. On Christmas or my birthday I can expect to receive this from her. Now my 19yr old daughter loves PRIVATE COLLECTION. Please keep PRIV COLLECTION lotion in stock"

Never Fails to Get a Standing Ovation!

April 3, 2009

"I have worn and loved Private Collection since I was in my early twenties! I'm in my fifties now and it is still the most provocative fragrance I've ever experienced. All you young gals, don't be afraid to try it just because most of the reviewers are older. This is a fresh, clean scent...very sophisticated. Once you try it, you'll become a believer and a lover of Private Collection for life. I don't know who loves it more; women or men. Men just love to give hugs to a woman wearing Private Collection! Enjoy."

Sad

March 17, 2009

"I have worn this fragrance, both lotion and perfume, since 1979 and I am VERY saddened that the lotion is no longer available. This scent is wonderful and has become my signature scent with my entire family. I have not been able to find anything else like it and as I mentioned am extremely upset that it has been discontinued. I have been a very loyal customer of Estee' Lauder and now I am not sure where to find a new fragrance...nothing else in this line is anything at all like this."

Part of who I am

March 14, 2009

"I have been wearing Private Collection since it came on the market and feel naked without it. And three out of my four daughters are devottees, as well.
A firm believer in a signature scent for each woman, I tried many other scents before falling in love with Private Collection. (Note: when one wears the same scent all the time, one can't smell it on oneself- so don't over spray!)
Sadly, except fpr the lotion and cologne, the other products (like soap and powder, are no longer available."

Love this stuff!

January 25, 2009

"I discovered this scent around 15 years ago and have continued buying it ever since. It smells very good and you only need a little bit as it will last all day. When I was dating, guys always liked it on me (I'm married now and he likes it too :) ). It is strong if you use too much so really, just a spray or two max is perfect. Very feminine and florally smelling and strangers have come up to me as other reviewers have stated, asking me what I am wearing and saying that they like it. I like getting the lotion with it in the special boxed sets that they usually have around various holidays as the scent will last even longer and it really feels very indulgent!"
