Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pleasures EDP
A divisive floral powerhouse, Pleasures is either a timeless, clean classic or a screechy, headache-inducing scrubber. Its vibrant green-floral intensity makes it a love-it-or-hate-it scent with serious staying power.
Statement
Our Verdict - Estee Lauder Pleasures EDC
Divain's take on Estée Lauder Pleasures follows the same fresh floral-green arc, but wears thinner and quieter than the original: expect roughly half the longevity and a softer projection. A fair blind-buy for the family, not a true stand-in.

Its strong sillage and longevity mean it might be too much for the office if oversprayed, although some find it professional. Its classic, clean floral profile makes it versatile for casual outings and even formal events, while its intensity is ill-suited for sport.
