Estee Lauder Cinnabar Eau de Parfum - 50 ml

Product Information

Cinnabar has a rather exotic charm, it's what I imagine an ancient Chinese temple to smell like. The touch of incense in the base, gives Cinnabar that slightly religious feel.

I quite liked Cinnabar when I was in my teens and early 20s in the late 1980s; though it always seemed to be a poor imitation of Opium, so I never actually had a bottle. In the early 90s, I had a horrible boss who always wore Cinnabar, which put me off from trying a tester of it again until today: and I'm wishing I hadn't:As the scent settled, I began to find the resemblance to Opium. I expected this fragrance to have a stronger cinnamon note, however I do believe Cinnabar was named after a mercury ore, so perhaps it is not supposed to be primarily cinnamon. Love the potent and decadent opulence of the amber, vanilla and patchouli notes; does remind me of holidays in the sun by the sea... Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. The identity of the perfumer of Cinnabar is not 100% certain, but rumor has it that it was Bernard Chant. For the life of me I can't imagine that the perfumer of Cabochard and Aromatics Elixir didn't know how to square the bergamot/amber circle. If he is in fact Cinnabar's author, I have to imagine that the fault lies in reformulation. Chant was just too good to be credited with the murky version of the perfume available today.

Another great fragrnce by Estée Lauder. CINNABAR is a mysterious realm of temptation and intrigue. everything about it says of seductive.It is similiar OPIUM but less strong and hypnotic than it.a real head turner for a femme fatale. complex,heady,spicy, bewitching,rich, timeless,sensual, and classic. Spicy, resinous amber perfumes are a feel-good genre in perfumery. The individual components (vanilla, benzoin, labdanum…) are like prefab bases and can single-handedly provide the blueprint for an Oriental perfume. The risk is the kitchen-sink syndrome.

Cinnabar Estée Lauder perfume - a fragrance for women 1978

Peach, bergamot, orange blossom, clove, mandarin and spices make up the head notes of this perfume. Next heart notes of rose, ylang-ylang, carnations, cinnamon and jasmine move in. The fragrance finishes off with a base of benzoin, vanilla, incense, vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli, musk and tolu balm. (Vetiver, sometimes called khus, is a grass similar to citronella and native to India.) The predominantly oriental tone here will sweep you into another time and place at twilight. Travel-Size Bottle |I hesitated for so long to even so much as imagine owning a bottle, having admired it discreetly for so long, as it was deemed strictly a woman's fragrance. I mustered the courage several years ago to sneak a spray of it from the Estee Lauder counter and I was immediately smitten. However, at the time, I never thought I'd actually WEAR it. A pleasant tanginess leads into the base, and it turns out to be derived from clove with a well-placed component of some ambery orris. This turns into a gently crisp spiciness owing to an underlying layer of darkish patchouli. The ylang-ylang sweetness, however, stands its ground and is now fortified by a dense but not too heavy tonka impression. I have a great appreciation for these sillage monsters. They may have been made long before I was born, however I find them incredibly hypnotising. The similarity to Coco is actually remarkable – Cinnabar is deeper (darker) and the drydown is heavier with notes of patchouli (never one of my no.1 favourites) and quite a lot of vanilla, whereas Coco manages to be spicy with relatively little actual spice and more in the way of floral notes and is, to me, more attractive.

Cinnabar by Estée Lauder - Basenotes Reviews of Cinnabar by Estée Lauder - Basenotes

The scent is very complex and rich, which is both a pleasing and disappointing quality in my opinion. In a way there is too much going on in this fragrance's composition with particular notes clashing with one another. For this reason, I tend to prefer Youth-Dew over Cinnabar as my spicy oriental choice. Jasmine, Orange Flower, Clove and Patchouli blend intriguingly into an intense, sensual experience. The perfumes of the 1970s and the 1920s had a lot in common. Aldeyhydic florals were chic as hell and bitter chypres were all the rage, but the voluptuous orientals were the shit. Cinnabar and its exact contemporaries Yves Saint Laurent Opium and Lancome Magie Noire reinvented animalsim via spice and opened the door to a new style of oriental perfume that Chanel put on the map with Coco, Bois Noir and Egoiste. Cinnabar is a very unusual and beautiful fragrance. It is based around cinnamon and deep spices like benzoin, tolu balsam, amber & other resins. These are combined with slight floral notes of rose, lilly and carnation. This gives it a very deep, warm, spicy, slightly powdery smell. It reminds me of red dust. Shimmering red dust with powder and spice. It is a very opulent perfume. People will notice you in some way or another. I don't think it's loud, but if oversprayed it will project at least 6 feet around you.Our virtual similar perfume finder makes it easy to narrow the selection of fragrances to try across a range of best matches. Before rushing along and buying any of the suggested matching scents there are a few thing to consider. Skin chemistry highly affects the way perfumes smell but then there is also the way our brains perceives certain smells. Cinnabar is a fragrance that fulfills every woman's yearning for the exotic and mysterious," said Mrs. Lauder."Its rich amber notes provide a lingering warmth and sensuousness."
