    Love, love, love this fragrance.

  • BETTY JO HUTSON12/22/2009

    Looking for Estee Lauders Private Collection Bath Powder or Lotion. Pls help.

  • MERMAID02/22/2009

    It's true; this scent reacts to body chemistry.I've worn it since 1974 and everytime I try another perfume, I come right back to PC. Men comment on it more than women.

  • MARLENE01/30/2009

    For years i have used private collection perfume and the dusting powder , because i can no longer get it from the store , what little powder i have left i use it sparingly. I only hope they bring it back to the stores .

  • SARAH NELSON01/21/2009

    I have been looking for this powder everywhere. Does anyone have this. Estee quit making it and it is wonderful with the sparkling gold glitter in it.

  • JODY 10/04/2008

    I've worn this scent since 1974, when working in a cosmetics' counter and getting a whiff of it on my co-worker. Ever try the shower gel? That was heaven -- but discontinued. And the bath powder not only smelled sublime, it had little gold flecks in it that made your skin shimmer. Estee Lauder, bring these products back!

  • ME10/01/2008

    This is so great. It works on me in all temps. I can wear this with a light hand in the summer and a bit more in the winter. Great body lotion too. You have to wait for the dry down with this one.

  • SHERIDAN ELLIS07/14/2008

    I LOVE this. This is odd since I normally do not have a taste for and can not wear green/floral scents well. I have made it my quest this summer to try to expand my collection and break out of my spicy/oriental rut I have been in. I walked by the Estee Lauder counter and took time to spray a bit of each scent on a blotter. The P.C. was so intriguing and sensual and just kept drawing me back for more sniffs! I can tell it is strong so did not want to test it in the store since my family and I were traveling & I was not sure of the reaction to my chemistry. I took a chance and bought a bottle anyway. It is now on my inner elbow and smells so rich and creamy and like a garden in the evening that has let off an evening scent that you can not ignore. A little goes a looonnnngggg way, so take care not to get over-zealous with the atomizer :)

  • IRIS04/24/2008

    This is my new signature perfume. It is so beautiful, last all day into the night and beyond. Nice price too. With these gas prices, it's nice to know that I can afford something that won't bite me in my wallet and I am smelling good, all at the same time while pumping the expensive gas. Blessings!

  • PERFUME PERSON02/12/2008

    This one needs to be sprayed before you go out. It dries down to a wonderful green woodsy scent with a lot of staying power. No one else that I know wears this one and that is a bonus. Nothing like the sickening sweet stuff that is new on the shelves today. If you like green - you'll love this one!

  • BLONDE TICA11/18/2007

    This perfume is a burst of exotic green...and it's powerful. It lasts and lasts...then it tones down to a warmish, long-lasting sweetness that is not overpowering or sickly. I love its freshness and I love the fact that the designer, Estee, had kept this for many years all to herself. That says a lot about this fragrance. I have layered it with Ivoire de Balmain which is similar but less sweet. Together they make a great duo. I am very happy with this perfume and will always have a bottle in my possession.

  • LINDA MC10/29/2007

    Please advise if you know anywhere to buy the Body Creme that was on the market 10 years ago. If you know this creme you know that layered with the body powder it is the greatest fragance in the world, no perfume needed!

  • LINDA MC10/29/2007

    looking to buy any left over stock of Estee Lauder Private Collection Body Creme-not lotion- asap.

  • JK08/04/2007

    I heard Tammie Faye on television personally say that Private Collection by Estee Lauder was her favorite for several years. She was a cool lady.

  • MARLYS04/19/2007

    I thought Private Collection was horrendous when I first tried it on at a discount perfume store in a small "outlet town" in the South. As I walked around the town, Private Collection developed into the most luxurious scent, surrounding me in its luxury. I went back to the discount store and purchased two gift boxes of scent and lotion. The lotion is truly silky and rich. There seems to be a bit less pachouli in the lotion so it is more subtle and lies closer to the skin than the EDP. On drydown, PC is a sophisticated floral with a pachouli note that is muted, but very long-lasting. Even after showering, I can detect the faintest whiff on my wrists. Please try this more than once before deciding you don't like it. Like so many sophisticated items, Private Collection is an acquired taste.

  • MARY ALICE04/09/2007

    This worked on me when I smoked, but doesn't work now that I have stopped. The fragrance is lovely in the bottle...exotic greenery. On my skin it turns to Pinesol. Try before buying because I agree with a previous poster...this scent seems to very body chemistry sensitive.

  • JUDI W*03/30/2007

    It's been 30 years since I've tried this. I bought it once, when I was 16. Wasn't crazy about it then, but it smelled different. I remember it was kind of green & mossy, I wouldn't like it today, don't like those notes.

  • SERENITY02/17/2007

    Private Collection is just brilliant. I will recommend that you try before you buy. I don't think it would be a scent loved equally by most women, because it is so unusual. How to describe it? The product description is pretty accurate- smells like a greenhouse full of yummy herbs and some flowers. It's a light but distinctive scent, like freshly cut grass with a very feminine edge. I love it! Reminds me a little of Bath & Body Work's Cedarwood Sage lotion (green bottle). I am glad I found it in a set with the lotion.

  • PATTI02/08/2007

    Like Sally, from her post, back in 2001, I am searching for Private Collection's Bath Powder... It's devine! Does anyone know where I might still find it? Thanks & God bless ~

  • MARA02/07/2007

    Kathy, if you are looking for another wonderful floral fragrance, try Donna Karan's Gold. It lacks the green scent of Private Collection, but it is a beautiful lily fragrance that is spellbinding. Can't wait to hear back to see what you think of Private Collection. You know, Estee Lauder kept this one for herself. She was very reluctant to package it for her clients. This was her personal fragrance for years.

  • KATHY11/26/2006

    Mara, thank you for the opinion. Now I really want to try this one. Sounds just like what I have been looking for!

  • MARA11/20/2006

    Kathy, I don't see much similarity between PC and Blue Grass. Private Collection is a much more sophisticated scent. The only fragrance that I can think of that it faintly resembles is Eau du Ciel by Anick Goutal. Private Collection grows on you. The more you wear it, the better it smells to you. This is a classic. It has been around for years. You can't go wrong by purchasing this fragrance. It spells SOPHISTICATION.

  • Unique,exquisite. I go to Estee Lauder.com when desperate. Also buy from you. Nothing compares!

  • I have worn this for 30+ years,my favorite and the loveliest scent ever! Bought loads when it was disc.Why did Estee's daughter disc. the classics scents? The scent intoxicates. I wear it anytime but the summer heat. All day,on my bed,myself. I use this when I want to seduce a man,feel sexy and beautiful! And men love it! I also use the lotion and powder AND the soaps. Perfect scent.

  • KATHY09/29/2006

    Does any one have an opinon as to whether this one smells anything like Blue Grass, which I happen to love. Was wondering because of the green cut grass descrption on it. Thanks.

  • BLONDIE09/24/2006

    I had some of this in the 70's but wore Cinnabar more. This is a quite beautiful scent, especially in the winter but it is body chemistry sensitive. It either works for you very well or not at all.

  • DODIE09/15/2006

    I would love to be able to get this again. I love the fragrance and it brings back a lot of memories with it's distinct smell. Please bring it back- ebay is trying to crucify you with their price!!!

  • GAIL05/16/2006

    A woman at work wears this. Maybe it's her chemistry, but on her it has a salty note and a dry-down similar to original Lysol.

  • GL01/24/2006

    This perfume is simply gorgeous for any occasion, any outfit, and any age group. It has been around for a long time, but believe me, it's not old.

  • ANDREA01/09/2005

    I bought this back in the 80's when I was in high schhol. Now I'm in my late 30's This is my signature perfume. I still love it today. This is another perfume that I like to wear, it makes me feel Sexy.

  • LINDA01/06/2005

    I've worn this scent for years. Sometimes I try something new, but always come back to PC. because it smells so good on me.

  • STEPHK12/01/2004

    Though this one might have been around a while, I just recently discovered it. I really, really like this! I usually lean more towards spicy Orientals, but this greenie has won me over. You have to give it a little while, though. Don't judge it by the way it smells in the bottle. Spray it on, wait for about 20 minutes and get ready to be impressed. Really lovely fragrance. It lasts well, too.

  • UPSET IN OMAHA11/28/2004

    I have worn this fragrance for many years. It is the only fragrance that does not give me a headache when putting it on and stays with me all day. Why did you discontinue the powder and creme. Other I know are asking the same question. Plz reply.

  • CATHIE D 10/13/2004

    this is the best thing that I have ever come across. I have been wearing PC for almost 30 years. I could eat it, it is so delicious. I found the last 2 body powders in the USA about 6 years ago and then cost me amost 80.00$ to customs clear over the border. I wont even tell anybody what my perfume is, it is a guarded secret and on the few occasions over the last 30 years that I have come across someone else wearing PC, we stare each other down with side-way glances as we think we are all alone in earing this perfume. Estee discontinues the body powder but brings back Cinnabar which was the worse scent ever. go figure....(If it aint broke, then dont fix it)

  • PIA08/19/2004

    I just tried this fragrance and love it. To me this is more of a fall scent but would wear as evening fragrance in the summer. Body powder is available at Scentuals.com, but it is a designer imposter. I have purchased several different scented powders from scentuals, for instance Narcisse Chloe, identical to original and Shalimar as well and Anais Anais. Many fragrances available from Ato Z for under ten dollars also available shower gels lotions and roll on oil fragrances.

  • ANNETTE06/22/2004

    Wow The best every I have just got some more and I have missed it. So enjoy Remminds me of Good romantic evenings.

  • SUZANNE05/20/2004

    I first discovered PC in 1993 when my Mom gave me a little box with five miniature Estee Lauder perfumes for Christams. (Great gift!) Beautiful and Knowing: both boring florals. White Linen: very nice but too reminiscent of the 80's. Spellbound: spicy and wonderful, I loved it. Private Collection: at first I thought it was all wrong for me, as I am a lover of Oriental-type fragrances. But somehow I just kept wanting to wear it, day in and day out. It eventually became one of my very favorites. I just bought a new bottle recently. Am I getting sick of all my Orientals? All I know is that PC is like a lovely, sensous breath of fresh air, with the heady aroma of freshly-cut grass melting into warm golden florals. And this stuff lasts! (someting I have a problems with with most perfumes.) Hurray for Private COllection. PS - I'd be the first person to buy it in body powder!

  • JILL03/17/2004

    It smells gorgeous to me. Herby; floral; with a sophisticated "dry" edge to it. Unusual distinctive fragrance which is lasting and wafts nicely. I see Perfume Emporium recommend this for evening use, but I have always worn it during the day. One small negative here though; when I first wore the fragrance, my friend asked, "Can you smell that perfume someone is wearing; it smells like lavatory freshener"!! Of course she has no taste.

  • SUE C03/16/2004

    I think Private Collection is the best of the E. Lauder scents and one of the nicest green florals ever. People will recognise it on you and compliment your excellent taste. It is very refined and deserves elegant clothes and tasteful colours and should be worn indoors only. Wear it to important business occasions if you want to impress.

  • MARSHA01/20/2004

    IVETTE, HELLO, I TOO AM WANTING THE POWDER... THEY QUIT MAKING IT.. I HAVE CALLED ALL THEIR RESOURCES TO FIND MY FAVORITE.. FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS SINCE IT CAME OUT.. YEP, I AM AN OLDIE AND I LOVE PRIVATE COLLECTION!!!!NO MORE POWDER I WAS TOLD UNLESS THEY DO A SPECIAL AT CHRISTMAS.. SO SAD,,

  • DIANNE11/30/2003

    so sexy, so irresistable.

  • CHERYL05/11/2003

    My mom's signature for like 15 years. Very mature scent, but pretty. Funny that it is Tammy Faye Baker's signature perfume. Whatever. It smells like mom to me.

  • IVETTE03/12/2003

    I have been looking for the body powder and I have been told is discontinued. How come? I will appreciate if someone could tell me where I can get it. It is part of my personality.

  • GLORIA02/27/2003

    This is another of my old favorites from years ago. I haven't revisited it in a long time. I do remember the powder was unbelieveable. I just got back from the store where I tried Youth Dew again...The body lotion...It smelled great to me and I expected to hate it. I also saw the old blue bottle. Now they have out a gold one for YD's 50th anniversary.

  • ANNAMARIA01/27/2003

    I would like to be added to the ranks of women in search of Private Collection Body Powder--I do have some left, but just a smidgen. This fragrance is incredible. [email protected] Thanks!

  • CAROL R01/13/2003

    I have been wearing Private Collection since 1974! It is one of my all time favorites! I live in the Cincinnati, Ohio area and was told they do not make the power any more. Such a loss. This perfume smells like a woman should!

  • CC01/09/2003

    My first experience with this fragrance was in the mid-70's. One of the buyers was standing in line to get lunch and I was standing behind her. I got this wonderful smell of fragrance from her. So I asked " what to you have on that smell so good?" And she say "it's private collection!" I thought she was getting snappy with me. To my surprise , I found out this was a real fragrance from Estee Lauder not a snappy response! I can say this , they kept the scent as orignal as I can remember from the 70's, so I have finally purchased it myself this past year! So sweet, green and fresh!

  • MARLIE01/06/2003

    Private Collection is the best green perfume on the market. This is rich,unforgettable scent.

  • IRIS11/11/2002

    hi Elaine have you had any luck with the body powder and if so please email me have none left and would love to get some thanks

  • A.08/20/2002

    I didn't like it at first, and then after a couple of hours I STILL didn't like it. It's green, but not refreshing. Not at all sweet. Has a slightly ozone-like sharpness to it.

  • KATE08/15/2002

    Love the scent but it's only available in one size in Canada, at a cost of $65. Ouch!

  • VERONICA08/13/2002

    Please let me know if anyone hears on where to find the body powder. That would really complete my set!! Please email me at [email protected]

  • AUNTGOOEY08/12/2002

    I tested it in a department store and shook my head and said "no way." Then as I was driving home, I kept sniffing my arm where I had sampled the scent and found I was really liking it on the drydown. By the time I got home, I knew I had to have it so when I went to the movies that night I had to run back in the department store and buy it. Give this one a chance. It will grow on you.

  • SHARON ROSS08/05/2002

    I used to wear PC and still love the smell when somebody wears it. Very classy and lovely!

  • DAWN-DAWN06/28/2002

    I've worn PC for 22 yrs and most know what I wear is special. This is also on my list for every occasion!! I have experienced some terrible allergies and the only perfume I can wear is Private Collection!! Amazing! I also miss the body powder. Where can we write and request it? If you find any, please email [email protected]

  • JAKQUA05/11/2002

    If you want a very unique, green floral, Private Collection is the one. I purchased a gift set over the Christmas Holidays and I still have over half of it left. I find I am only able to wear it occasionally but it does smell wonderful and you do get your moneys worth because a little dab will definately do ya'.

  • DEANNA 04/27/2002

    I have worn Private Collection for nearly 20 years. It is the only fragrance I can wear consistently and enjoy.

  • ELAINE 03/21/2002

    I love most of the fragrances created by Estee' Lauder but the Private Collection is my favorite. I have worn it for many years but it seems more difficult to find than the other fragrances. I really don't understand why the body powder was discontinued because it is absolutely heavenly. If anyone "discovers" where to get the bath powder, PLEASE post a message or email me at [email protected] and let me know where to find this "treasure"! Thanks, Elaine

  • ROBIN03/20/2002

    One of my favorites. I wore this for years and people knew my scent even when I had left the room. Then it quit lasting on my so I regretfully had to change

  • MAGGIEMAE02/17/2002

    Worked with a woman who smelled wonderful wearing PC, but not one I'd wear.

  • AIMEE12/20/2001

    Herbal Essence shampoo; sweet; powdery; deodorant soap. Basically, a herbal-soapy smell.

  • C. KENNEDY11/15/2001

    I am also looking for Private Collection Body Powder. Maybe if enough people request it, it will return by demand.

  • SALLY09/18/2001

    Help. I love Estee Lauder Private Collection Perfumed Body Powder. I have been told that it has been discontinued. If anyone knows where I can find some, please let me know. Thanks, [email protected]

  • CIN04/04/2001

    I have been wearing Este Lauder Private Collections for at least 15 years. It is like a signature for me. And it goes on my Christmas list every year. It is who I am. My daughter says that when she misses me that she thinks real hard and can smell me in the room.

  • CARLA03/22/2001

    I have adored the sensual,heady unique tones of this perfume and have worn at least 15 yrs. My local stores have discontinued it,and your have made me soooo happy! Also desire to purchase lotion,etc! Thank you so much! Carla

  • EAKSTER03/18/2001

    My husband just loves the feminine scent, he buys this for me, he has even gone to great lengths of buying the drawer liner paper scented with private collection, I personally like this also,
