Fragrance information:

Metropolis Estée Lauder, created in 1987, is marketed as a masculine fragrance, falling within the chypre family. The fragrance concentration is eau de cologne.

A subtle fragrance: the longevity is low, which suits its gentle character. Country of origin — the United States: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. Metropolis Estée Lauder unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The scent of Metropolis is built as an expressive line of development, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The signature of Estée Lauder is evident in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de Cologne emphasizes the right density and pace of development.

At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Fruit, Green, Citrus and Aromatic. The framework further includes Floral, Drinks, Spicy and Animals.

In the top tier you sense invigorating sunny top notes: Juniper berries, Lavender, Mandarin and Mint.

In the central layer you sense Absinthe, Cinnamon, Clary Sage, Clove, Clove and Geranium keeping a cinnamon-nutmeg direction.

The internal accord map rests on these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Fruit without random overlap. Background accords such as Musc, Wood, Amber and Leather add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which clarifies the composition character.

Taken together Metropolis sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best understood through real development.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Low (1 to 2 hours)
2
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Imperceptible
2
Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
