History and Identity of the Fragrance

Immerse yourself in the world of pure pleasure with the fragrance Pleasures from the legendary brand Estée Lauder, launched in 1995.

This fragrance, which has become a symbol of femininity and joyful moments in life, reflects the DNA of the brand founded by Josephine Esther Mentzer, and continues its heritage of fresh and elegant perfumes.

Pleasures is not just a perfume water, but an entire collection dedicated to the simple pleasures of nature and everyday happiness.

Perfumers and Creative Approach

Behind the creation of this masterpiece are two outstanding perfumers: Alberto Morillas, known for his fresh and clean chords, and Annie Buzantian, a master of feminine and floral compositions.

Their collaboration gave the world a fragrance that perfectly balances bright freshness and deep sensuality.

Such a combination of talents explains why Pleasures has been loved by many generations and continues to inspire new releases.

Positioning and Wearability

This perfume is positioned as a women's fragrance, but its universality also attracts fans of unisex style.

With its medium trail, it leaves a subtle yet memorable trace, perfect for the office, dates, or spring walks.

As an eau de parfum, it offers moderate longevity – we recommend applying it pointwise on the skin, and on clothing, just 1 to 2 sprays are enough to maintain the harmony of the fragrance throughout the day.

Similar Fragrances for Inspiration

If you've fallen in love with Pleasures, you might also be interested in other perfumes with a similar atmosphere.

For example, Yves Rocher Comme une Evidence offers fresh floral notes, Gucci Gucci Bloom Acqua di Fiori – watercolor lightness, and Byredo Inflorescence – a modern take on the floral theme.

Explore these options to expand your perfume collection and find new favorites.

Influence and Legacy

Since its release, Pleasures has strengthened the reputation of Estée Lauder as a brand that creates timeless fragrances for women who value elegance and simple joys.

It has become a cult release, often associated with spring renewal and optimism.

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Estée Lauder Pleasures is a true journey from freshness to cozy depth.

At the start, you'll sense freesia, green notes, and pink pepper, which create a light and cheerful beginning, complemented by tuberose and violet with its leaf.

In the heart, rich floral chords unfold, such as karonda, geranium, jasmine, lilac, lily, peony, and rose, creating a soft and feminine bouquet.

On the base, the fragrance dives into warm woody and musky notes: cedar, patchouli, sandalwood, and musk, which leave a cozy and long-lasting trail, perfect for ending the day.

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.

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.

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.

Since 1999, this fragrance has been a true passion for me! 😍 Once, a client from America gave it to me. I was a young administrator, and I simply complimented her and asked what this wonderful scent was called. Honestly, I was afraid she'd be offended. At one point she disappeared, but then returned with a 100 ml bottle and apologized that it wasn't full, but already used))) She said: "Achieve success, stay just as smart and kind!" <br><br>The fragrance disappeared from sale for a whole 8 years, and I had already forgotten about it. At that time, I was 19, working as an administrator in a cafe, and now I'm 39 and manage a large chain. On a business trip to Kazan, I finally found this fragrance and bought as many as 3 bottles))) Now, for me, it's not just pleasant and clean, as for many, but a whole story about my youth and my first job in Horeca. I recommend it to everyone! ✨

This scent evokes a feeling of heaviness and nostalgia in me, as if I'm back in that luxurious 90s house where it sat on the table 😔 The combination of powder, peony, and tuberose is certainly alluring, but after all those tests in the store, I still couldn't bring myself to buy it. I won't be able to wear it, it's too retro and a bit banal for me

What an amazing fragrance! It's truly noble and warming. A real find for the winter season! I feel incredibly comfortable in it. I've only tried it on my skin so far, so I can't say anything about the sillage, but it's impossible to tear yourself away from it!! It's simply magnificent, nothing to fault. For those who appreciate fragrances with history and atmosphere, this is a true gem. Hooray!

This fragrance became the only one I could use during pregnancy. It gave a feeling of calm and happiness, as if enveloping me in a light cloud. Gentle and transparent, it caused no discomfort. Remembering it, I only feel warm emotions. 🌸

Estee Lauder fragrances remind me of the atmosphere of a flower shop. This one, in particular, stands out. It's hard for me to break it down into individual notes, but I detect chrysanthemums, roses, lilies, and even green accents. It's truly elegant and very feminine

The scent of this perfume is simply amazing! As soon as you spray it, freshness spreads through the air, and it feels like it fills every corner of the room. It creates a feeling of lightness and weightlessness, as if you're floating on clouds

The fragrance is simply incredible. Every time you inhale it, you want to do it again. Feelings of joy and happiness overwhelm you. The brightest moments of life come to mind. You close your eyes, immerse yourself in its notes, and re-experience those emotions as if it's happening for the first time!!! It's something amazing! 🌟

A fragrance associated with a well-groomed woman. It's floral, with a light sweetness and a dusty note of stamens. I tried it quite recently; a colleague wore it all spring, and she had an absolutely magical sillage. But on me, unfortunately, it smells completely different. There's no lightness and transparency; instead, a stuffy lily and tobacco appear, making it too heavy. So, alas, we didn't get along 😔

The scent is simply amazing! It evokes real emotions in me... WOW! Summer, sun, greenery, nature - all of this is felt in every note. I feel joy, happiness, and inspiration! The fragrance clearly features lily, lily of the valley, and freesia, as well as a bit of pepper and berries. Geranium adds an interesting touch. It's just super!
4/5

How pleasant it is to wear this fragrance! It unfolds in such a way that its uniqueness immediately becomes clear. The longevity and sillage are simply impressive! This perfume can truly be called one of the best finds in the world of quality perfumery

This fragrance is a classic fruity-floral combination. But it's clearly not cheap, rather, it feels like it was assembled in some elite floral workshop. If sprayed carelessly, it can simply suffocate. I won't choose it for myself, I don't see myself in it, but from the outside, it sounds quite pleasant ))

This perfume is a real find! It's floral and light, like a spring breeze. Delicate notes create an atmosphere of joy and freshness, filling the soul with warmth. You can feel life in it, as if you're walking among blooming flowers and greenery. Simply magical!

The floral scent is very pleasant, with a light freshness. It always lifts my mood and brings joyful moments. For me, this fragrance is associated with spring, purity, and happiness

The floral fragrance is indeed bright, but honestly, it's too sweet for me. I wish the sweetness was a little less. It's feminine and rich, with excellent longevity. But it's better to apply just a little, otherwise you can overdo it 😔

the scent is truly amazing, it's like it transports you to a blooming garden. you feel real nature, you want to inhale it again and again. femininity is present here, but not in the usual sense, rather with a certain twist. the originality of the execution is simply striking, it's something unusual that's hard to describe in words
