Youth Dew is Estée Lauder's classic oriental spicy eau de parfum, launched in 1953 and originally sold as a bath oil. It opens with bold spices, aldehydes, lavender and a cola-tinged sweetness, moves into a dense spiced floral heart of rose, jasmine and ylang ylang, and dries down to a resinous base of incense, balsams, oakmoss, patchouli and vanilla. It is one of the strongest mainstream perfumes ever made, so a light application is enough. It suits people who want a rich, old-school evening scent and who are comfortable with real projection; anyone after a fresh, quiet everyday fragrance will find it heavy next to modern light florals and clean musks.

Youth Dew is an oriental spicy eau de parfum for women from Estee Lauder. It was first sold as a bath oil before it became one of the brand's defining perfumes.
The top notes are spices, aldehydes, narcissus, lavender, cola, orange, peach and bergamot. The heart is a dense, spiced floral blend of cloves, cinnamon, rose, ylang ylang, jasmine, lily of the valley, cassia and orchid. The base is resinous, with incense, tolu balsam, peru balsam, oakmoss, amber, patchouli, vetiver, vanilla and musk.
It is intense, and even a light application projects strongly. It suits evening wear and cold weather.
