Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Pleasures
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.

Pleasures
Seasons
Best For:
Spring
Summer
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date
Formal
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.
Contentment
Seasons
Best For:
Spring
Summer
Reach for it across spring and summer, where the floral signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.
Occasions
Best For:
Date
Casual
Also Works:
Office
Sport
This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
