Launched in 1995 by Estée Lauder, Pleasures is a floral fragrance that has become iconic for its sheer, uplifting quality. Created by perfumers Annie Buzantian and Alberto Morillas, it opens with green notes and freesia before diving into an array of white florals like tuberose, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley. This composition became widely credited with popularizing the 'sheer floral' fragrance category, defining the airy green-floral trend of the 1990s. Pleasures is not just a scent; it's a generational touchstone often shared between mothers and daughters, evoking major life milestones like weddings and graduations.

Application Tips
Pleasures has a light sillage and is best applied in layers for longevity. A single spritz might not last through the day, so consider reapplying after a few hours to maintain its delicate floral presence.
