General Comments
I was drawn to try Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise mostly because of the aesthetic appeal. I'm a sucker for a nice bottle and this one drew me in instantly. A kind of soft shimmering-rainbow glass globe, which would look great on any dressing table. In fact, if dreams were free, I could see myself designing a suitable boudoir in which to house it. Unfortunately, that is where the infatuation ended. Although intoxicating, the 'heady' floral sent my sinuses into melt-down. After sneezing my way through the morning, I ended up with a headache and daydreaming of standing under the nearest waterfall/rain shower to rid myself of the zesty freshness. I know fragrance choice is a purely personal quest, and please don't let my experience put you off from a trip to "paradise and beyond".
