Estée Lauder Pleasures is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1995, created by Alberto Morillas and Annie Buzantian. Pleasures opens with Red Fruits, Green Notes, Violet, and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Fruity Notes, Rose, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Estée Lauder's Pleasures carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best For:

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a vivid burst of green notes and violet, sharpened by pink pepper and a hint of red berries. The heart blossoms into a massive bouquet of lily of the valley, peony, and rose, creating an effervescent, almost soapy floral impression. It settles into a clean, woody musk with a subtle touch of patchouli and cedar, maintaining its fresh, airy feel throughout.
