My go to fragrance and I've loved it for many years. Little expensive but well worth it.

This was my signature fragrance in the 70's and I always got
compliments on it from men but I tried some at the
perfume counter yesterday and it stunk big time.
It was a sharp pepper stink that...

"One drop of Estee Lauder's Private Collection Perfume and you'll know why she was keeping it for herself."
That's what the advert said in the 70s, although when I smelt it at the counter back...

One of EL classics. It smells very evergreen to my nose. Imagine pine trees covered in heavy crisp snow. In some way it reminds me of Aromatics Elixir (which I like)- it has that strength, potency...

So eager to try a new green chypre (I am obsessed with them). This goes on GREEEEEEN and not in a citrussy way. Verdant green leaves crushed to release their sap and mixed to a funky intensity. ...

I wore this when it first came out in the eighties; loved it back then along with Youth Dew. Over the years I guess my tastes have changed; while I still love the perfume especially for its...

I've worn this fragrance since 1987. This sounds weird, I know, but I first smelled it on my recovery room nurse after I gave birth to my daughter. I absolutely loved it and asked her what it...

I've read all the reviews on this being oh so "mature" and "serious" but it reminds me of going to the Philadelphia Zoo when I was a kid. :-P
There's this area called "The Treehouse" that...

I didn't care for this too much. It's one of those old fashioned classic perfumes. It made me feel like I was 60 when I had it on. Spicy and a bit nauseating. It reminds me of a lighter version...

Dated. It smelled as if it were trying to smell "expensive", but without actually being so. It is green. It made me think of Aliage.

All I can say is that this fragrance made me smile when I first put it on. It has that effect on me. It is sunny and bright. I love the history behind it. On me it is not strong at all. I love...

I don't like this type of fragrance. It has no charm, no spell, nothing pleasant about it - just the picture of a prim, old lady wearing a grey costume and speaking in a high- pitched voice. Very...

This was my 1st and best loved perfume which I decided to try again.
I didn't realise quite how my 'nose' had changed over the years as when I tried PS again it as much too strong and powerful...

Definitely not a subtle scent - very heavy, strong, long-lasting scent.
I only bought it because the smell reminds me of my mother when she would get dressed up to go out to dinner parties in...

I wore Private Collection in the 80's and have recently began wearing it again. I love this fragrance, it is green, classy, heavenly to me.
You need just a tiny spray as it is potent at first but...

I'm not normally a fan of particularly 'green' fragrances, but Private Collection is outstanding. It's very 'green' but I don't find it to be sharp in any way. This would have to be one of my...

There is a lovely mythology associated with this fragrance. Supposedly, Estee Lauder created it for her own use, and it was not marketed to the public. However, the Duchess of Windsor and...
