Estée Lauder Pleasures Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002. Pleasures Intense opens with Ylang-Ylang, Peony, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower, Rose, Jasmine, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Maple, Vanilla, Benzoin, and Styrax. Estée Lauder's Pleasures Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

A powerhouse floral that, despite its name, carves out its own distinct identity. It's truly a "love it or hate it" scent; some find it a gorgeous, natural bouquet, while others are overwhelmed by its potent and sometimes sharp white florals.

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.

About

Imagine a vibrant, dewy garden at peak bloom, bursting with the heady aroma of lily, peony, and jasmine, underscored by the rich, fruity tang of blackcurrant. As it settles, a soft sweetness emerges, mingling with subtle woody notes of maple, styrax, and benzoin, adding depth and a comforting warmth to the floral intensity. It's a luminous floral symphony, intense yet often described as naturally fresh.
