I remember trying the original SpellBound in the original bottle. I kind of liked it. I appreciated the brassiness of it. It was complex and had an interesting vibe. I tried this new bottle the...

This review is for the new formulation of Spellbound, which comes in a standard bottle that Estee Lauder is using for a number of their classic fragrances. The new formulation smells enough like...

This is one of the fragrances I've been wanting to try for a while. I've not tried many scents before any formulation change took place, so all I know is what I can get now. I'm probably more...

I found the product in the new packaging was less fragrant and am really disappointed. But I found a website that is selling the original product. I would buy the older one.

There seems to be a lot of secrecy surrounding Lauder's revamping of their classics into similar bottles (ala Jo Malone). I was curious to see if they had been reformulated, which I was sure they...

There is something in this (or at least they way it smells on my skin) that I just can't deal with. The first hour on my skin lsmells like some sort of chemical you might find at a funeral home. It...

I'm a bit surprised by some of these comments. Has nobody ever heard of the fact that fragrances smell different when they react to the oils on different skins? I am one of those people who get...

This is by far one of my favorite fragrances. I love almost all EL scents with the exception of Pleasures. This perfume is very strong with a rich oriental scent. I do agree with the other...

This is absolutely one of my favorite fragrances in the world! Back in 2004, I was in my early twenties and was a counter manager for Estee Lauder. Of course, all of my friends were ooo-ing and...

I have really started to appreciate the beauty of Lauder frags but oh dear! Spurred in by reviews I bought this...smells just to big and floral and 80s to me, even though I think it was 1991. Felt...

After all the good reviews here, I went to the Lauder counter to try it...i can't tell you how disappointed I am. This is so awful. A disgusting, heavy scent with way too much incense.To me it...

This is my favourite EL fragrance after Youth Dew. Spellbound starts out lush, deep and smokey like the incense-smoke filled air of my favourite occult shop. Cloves and carnations. It melds...

One of my fall/winter favorites to warm up a cold day. A beautifully strong (but not overpowering) fragrance. Woodsy and oriental - awesome!

I am unashamed to say that to my nose, this perfume is a major fail. To me, many Lauder perfumes smell the same: powdery, aggressive florals that force their way down your throat and induce...

Spellbound has always been one of my favorite Estee Lauder fragrances. Sadly, when I worked for them it was not a top seller. It's so different from all their other scents, to me at least. It's...
