Pleasures Delight Eau de Parfum vs La Vivacité Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A divisive Estée Lauder gourmand from yesteryear that's surprisingly sophisticated for its notes. Some find it a balanced 'fruitchouli', while others are put off by a strong patchouli opening and find it turns sickly or artificial on their skin. A proper love-it-or-hate-it.
This one's a cheeky clone, no doubt, but the general consensus is that it's a softer, more versatile take on the original's overly sweet character. You're getting bang for your buck here, with performance that won't let you down and a scent profile that's widely appealing.
