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 - 336 Estee Lauder Pleasures EDP
336 recreates Estee Lauder Pleasures' fresh green-floral bouquet honestly, though it fades faster than the long-running designer classic.

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.
