Estée Lauder Cinnabar Eau de Parfum Spray 1.7 oz — Warm Spicy Amber with Jasmine & Clove

Estée Lauder Cinnabar Eau de Parfum is a warm, spicy amber perfume for women that layers jasmine, orange flower and clove into a sensual, long-lasting scent.

Introduced by Estée Lauder, Cinnabar is built around a smoky, resinous amber heart softened by floral and citrus highlights. This 1.7 fl oz eau de parfum concentrates familiar oriental-spicy elements—jasmine, orange flower and patchouli—into a composition intended to feel both mysterious and wearable. The fragrance develops in stages, revealing bright top notes, spicy florals in the heart, and a grounding, woody base that lingers on skin and clothing.

How does Cinnabar unfold on the skin?

From first spray, Cinnabar moves through three clear phases: an initial citrus-floral brightness, a warm spicy floral core, and a deep, resinous finish. The layers interact so the scent evolves over hours rather than remaining static.

• Top: jasmine, orange flower and tangerine provide an immediate bright floral-citrus opening.
• Middle: clove, muguet (lily of the valley) and lily add warm, spicy floral character.
• Base: olibanum (frankincense), sandalwood and patchouli anchor the perfume with smoky, woody depth.

When is Cinnabar most appropriate to wear?

Cinnabar’s spicy-amber profile makes it particularly suited to cooler weather and evening hours, though a light application can work for daytime events. Its warm sillage and lasting base notes mean a little goes a long way for an impression that endures.

• Evenings and special occasions where a more intense scent is welcome.
• Autumn and winter months that complement its warm, resinous facets.
• Layer under clothing or on pulse points for controlled longevity and projection.

What should I expect in terms of longevity and projection?

As an eau de parfum, Cinnabar tends to offer moderate-to-long longevity with a noticeable but not overpowering projection. The resinous base notes help the fragrance stay present on skin and fabrics throughout the day and into the night.

• Longevity: several hours to a full day depending on skin chemistry and application.
• Projection: moderate; strongest in the first few hours, softening to a close skin scent later.
• Best application: spray on pulse points and clothing layers for extended wear.

How does the scent composition influence the overall mood?

Cinnabar balances floral brightness with spicy warmth and woody weight to create an aura that feels both sensual and enigmatic. Its contrasts—light florals against deep resins—make it versatile for those who want an expressive, layered fragrance.

• Floral notes add feminine clarity and lift.
• Clove and tangerine introduce a subtle spice and liveliness.
• Olibanum, sandalwood and patchouli contribute depth, warmth and sophistication.

Who is this for: Cinnabar by Estée Lauder is designed for anyone seeking a timeless oriental-spicy perfume with a rich, amber backbone. It suits those who appreciate fragrances that develop over time, favor warm woody-resinous finishes, and want a sophisticated signature scent for cooler seasons or evening wear. The 1.7 fl oz size provides a portable option for regular use or special occasions.
