In Lauder's day, perfumers combined base scents that were like premixed mini-perfumes to create a final fragrance. They contained things that weren't necessary and created background noise, Malle said. To update the formulas, any nonessential ingredients in those bases were stripped away--it's like cleaning up, he said.
The overall goal of the collection, Malle said, is to revive this work and show how good Mrs. Lauder was.
