About the Product
Cinnabar by Estee Lauder is a classic fragrance that has captivated the senses of sophisticated women since its launch in 1978. Cinnabar by Estee Lauder is famous for its warm and welcoming spice and floral notes. The unique journey to the beautiful faraway lands and mythical possessions is what this perfume is about. The ancient spirit of this perfume is what has made it a place of prestige among the Estee Lauder collection, yet it is the everlasting time-value that makes it truly unique.
Fragrance Family:
Oriental
Scent Type:
Spicy, warm, exotic
Notes:
Cinnabar by Estee Lauder begins its olfactory journey with top notes of spicy orange, tangy mandarin, and crisp bergamot, creating an invigorating and exhilarating introduction. The fragrance in the course of its unfolding reveals the heart with a very rich bouquet of jasmine, lily, and carnation, this time complemented by a bit of clove, thus expressing a classic, floral charm. To conclude, the perfume's fading down is in a deep, warm base of precious sandalwood, patchouli, and vanilla and thus it leaves behind a long sensuous and profound aftereffect.
Suggested Use
Enhance the longevity and richness of Cinnabar by Estee Lauder by applying it strategically to your pulse points—such as wrists, neck, and behind the ears. For a more intense experience, spritz after showering when the skin is warm and pores are open, to allow the fragrance to envelop you more thoroughly, ensuring a lasting presence throughout your day.
FAQ
What does Cinnabar perfume smell like?
Cinnabar by Estee Lauder is an exotic and richly layered fragrance characterized by its intoxicating blend of spices and florals. The very first impression of the scent is of spices including clove and bergamot, which are replaced by the warm floral heart of jasmine and orange blossom in the next moment. The finish with sandalwood, patchouli, and vanilla is soft and long-lasting. This perfume, which smells like distant places, symbolizes warmth, mystery, and seduction.
Did Estée Lauder change Cinnabar?
Estee Lauder's Cinnabar has undergone minor reformulations over the years, as is common with many perfumes to comply with changes in regulatory standards and availability of ingredients. Nevertheless, the fundamental nature of the scent, established by the spicy and warm notes, is still the same, thus, it continues to summon the same classical sophistication and the exotic charm which has been known of it from the very beginning.
What kind of scent is Cinnabar by Estee Lauder?
Cinnabar is categorized as a warm, spicy oriental fragrance, ideal for those who appreciate a bold and sophisticated scent. The exquisite combination of spices and flowers makes it particularly suitable for the colder seasons and evening wears. The perfume is most remarkably known for its intense sillage and lasting time, which makes it attractive to the individuals who like to state their presence in a forceful way.
What season is Cinnabar best suited for?
Cinnabar's warm and spicy profile makes it particularly well-suited for the fall and winter seasons. It has a stylish scent that is its own interpretation of warm, cosy notes that are usually associated with winter. During the holidays, the casual festive style is often paired with a Cinnabar jacket, especially the evenings out model.
How long does Cinnabar perfume last?
Cinnabar is known for its impressive longevity and sillage, often lasting up to 8 hours or more on the skin, depending on body chemistry and application method. The fact that it is manufactured as an eau de parfum is a plus that adds to its everlasting ability, making it one such perfume that is fantastic for long days or for evening occasions where the scent needs to be kept in the air.
Where do you apply Cinnabar perfume?
To maximize the impact and longevity of Cinnabar, it is best applied to the body's pulse points, where warmth enhances the fragrance. The warmth of the body will help release the odor. Such places are the wrists, the base of the throat, the ears', and the inner elbows. One can wear a light mist of it on the clothes or in their air to carry it throughout the day.
Is Cinnabar perfume suitable for all occasions?
While Cinnabar is a bold and distinctive fragrance best suited for evenings and special occasions, it can also be worn during the day by those who appreciate its exotic profile. Whether worn to an official gathering or a casual environment, it adds a touch of refinement and a measure of attraction.
What other perfumes did Princess Diana use?
Princess Diana was known for favoring a variety of high-end perfumes over the years. Hermès 24 Faubourg was one of her most outstanding choices, which is the scent that can be best associated with her distinctive style of classic elegance. Besides this, it was also mentioned that she wore Houbigant's Quelques Fleurs on a few occasions.
What perfume did Kate Middleton wear?
Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, is known for wearing White Gardenia Petals by Illuminum on her wedding day.

Just love the unique smell
When I brought this, I went off the comments I read as a whole…well I was not disappointed! The first time I wore it I received 4 compliments from work colleagues and trainees I was training. Someone walked into the room I was in and stated, "what is that amazing smell?" I told them the scent name and the response was, "that really is a unique scent." Every time I wear Cinnabar, someone compliments me. Just love, love, love this perfume and I would buy it again.

Lovely
I'm mid 50's and I still remember one of my teachers from high school that wore this! The scent brings back memories! I love it but the first time I wore it I accidentally sprayed it twice and it was so strong it almost gave me a headache. After that, I made sure to only use 1 spray! Lovely cinnamon-y fragrance but very strong. 1 spray in the morning and I can still smell it later that day. If you're new to this fragrance I would definitely seek a sample version first!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

This review has nothing to do with FragranceX!
This fragrance has always been my go to fragrance in the winter. It has a spicy smell that I have always loved and received many compliments. That being said....Estee Lauder should be ashamed of themselves. The fragrance has been changed. It does not have the reach out and touch you smell anymore. It is a pleasant but very weak version of it's self. If I wanted watered down, I would have done it myself. I want my fragrance back!
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Good for the collection but can't wear it
I have heard so many people comparing Opium with Cinnabar and since I love Opium I thought I would add the Cinnabar as well to the collection. Unfortunately the perfume did not impress me much. I have so much respect for its history, maybe if I have tried it in a cold weather I could have noticed different notes and the perfume opened in a different way. For now I am not ready to wear it.

I would buy this perfume forever...
When I was in College in 1982, my girlfriend was wearing a scent that made me ask her, " Wow ! That is so beautiful !! What are you wearing ? " She told me Cinnabar. I had never heard of it before, so, I asked where I could buy it. The very next day, I bought the biggest size I could. When I started wearing it, everybody was asking me what I was wearing, and, giving me many compliments. It stayed on my clothes, and, even on my bed linen, sometimes for days. I was 22 when I bought my first one. I'm now 59, and, it is still my go to, signature fragrance. Absolutely sexy, beautiful !! I love being mysterious, and, this fragrance makes me feel, just that !! I found that most men are drawn to it. The only set back I found, was, that this perfume is best suited for the autumn, and, winter. A little to heavy for the spring, and, especially, the summer.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

One of my favorite perfumes
Love this perfume. Have worn it for years and so many people ask what I am wearing. Distinctive fragrance ... not for floral perfume lovers. It seems Estee Lauder changed the strength of the fragrance when they changed packaging. The old red-topped bottle was much stronger and long-lasting. You only needed to touch a little on your pulse points and it was good for 12 hours. New bottle needs more generous application several times throughout the day. However, it is the same delightful and intoxicating scent that makes me feel like a queen.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

only original version was a classic signature fragrance
i have worn the original Cinnabar from when it was first sold. i have always gotten compliments and asked what i was wearing almost EVERY time i have worn this, until a ran out almost a year ago. have tried to buy 4 bottles from various sources and they had been opened, don't know how stored but they were spoiled???. then my husband bought the new version and it was like wearing a weak, watered down copycat. i cannot believe Este Lauder has discontinued the old formula, then when loyal customers objected, they came out with this cheap dime store version. such a disappointment. it is a shame to find out loyalty for 39 years has come to this.
