Solid Perfume Compact Collection – Limited Edition

The heavenly solid perfume collection embraces the Constellation theme by featuring images of the sky. These elaborate compacts, such as the stylish Twinkling Sky and radiant Mandarin Sun, exemplify the elegant and intricate detailing synonymous with Estée Lauder compacts. Long time partner and renowned American designer, Jay Strongwater, has collaborated once again with Estée Lauder to create three exceptional handcrafted compacts that illustrate the craftsmanship and signature stone work of the designer.

This season’s solid perfume compacts feature Estée Lauder’s Beautiful, Youth Dew, Sensuous Nude, pleasures and Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia fragrances. Powder compacts feature the universally wearable Lucidity Translucent Pressed Powder.

To date, more than 1600 one-of-a-kind compacts have been created and thousands sold worldwide. When it’s not traveling the world, the permanent collection is catalogued and archived at Estée Lauder’s headquarters in New York City.

The enchanting Golden Wave Compact ($150.00) embodies the brand’s heritage through its sleek 24K gold plating and the precious Swarovski crystal on the clasp. This extraordinary compact will be packaged in a luxurious blue velvet box complete with a limited edition plaque.
