Estee Lauder originally introduced Youth Dew in 1953 as a bath oil, knowing that women who expected men to buy perfume for them would feel more comfortable buying bath oil for themselves. Once the bath oil was selling well, Lauder introduced an Eau de Parfum. Youth Dew’s opens with spicy notes of citrus orange, bergamot, sweet peach and aldehydes. Featured heart accords of clove, rose, ylang-ylang, cinnamon and orchid and base notes of warm amber, tolu, patchouli, benzoin and vanilla.
