Description
Estée Lauder Pleasures Eau de Parfum, launched in 1995, is one of the defining floral fragrances of the modern era. Created by Annie Buzantian and Alberto Morillas, this scent was designed to evoke the clean, crisp smell of flowers after a spring rain—pure, uplifting, and utterly feminine.
The opening features a dewy burst of white lily, violet leaves, and green accents, giving off a fresh, nature-kissed feeling right from the start. It’s an airy yet vibrant introduction that feels like a garden in bloom.
As it evolves, a lush bouquet of black lilac, white peony, karo-karounde blossoms, baie rose, pink rose, and jasmine takes center stage. This heart is soft, elegant, and unmistakably floral—without ever becoming overly sweet or powdery.
The base is subtle but grounding, with warm hints of sandalwood and patchouli that add depth and make the scent linger just enough. It never overwhelms, instead leaving a clean, floral trace that’s incredibly comforting.
Performance is moderate, with 6–8 hours of longevity and a soft sillage. It stays close to the skin, making it perfect for daily wear and intimate settings.
