The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Pleasures Delight by Estée Lauder was launched in 2007 as a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women. The composition opens with the bright sweetness of strawberry and pomegranate, blending seamlessly into a heart of freesia, peony, lily-of-the-valley, and heliotrope. These florals are enhanced by green notes and marshmallow, creating a lush, inviting atmosphere. The base notes of patchouli, caramel, vanilla, sugar, and rose provide warmth and depth, grounding the scent in a sumptuous gourmand finish.

How to wear it

This fragrance is best applied to pulse points for maximum warmth and longevity. The gourmand base notes develop slowly, so allow it time to bloom on your skin. One or two sprays are sufficient to capture its sweet indulgence.
