Launched in 2005 by Estée Lauder and crafted by perfumer Maurice Roucel, Pleasures Intense for Men is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that balances freshness with depth. The opening notes of kiwi, grapefruit, bergamot, green leaves, basil, and tomato leaf create an invigorating and vibrant start. As the composition evolves, violet root and celery add unexpected layers of complexity, while vetiver, cedar, leather, and amber provide a grounding warmth. This fragrance is designed to capture the essence of modern masculinity, blending sharp freshness with subtle sophistication.

Application Tips
For best effect, apply one generous spritz to the pulse points. The initial freshness fades within an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain that invigorating top note presence throughout the day. The base notes will continue to develop warmth close to the skin.

“I compose for the skin, not the blotter. A fragrance only truly exists when it meets warmth.”
Maurice Roucel is a master perfumer at Symrise whose prolific career spans five decades and hundreds of fragrances. Born in Saint-Girons in the French Pyrenees, he is celebrated for his ability to create scents of extraordinary sensuality — compositions that caress the skin and linger in memory. His masterpieces include Guerlain's Insolence, Lancôme's Trésor Midnight, and the landmark 24 Faubourg for Hermès. Roucel works with an almost musical sensibility, building fragrances in waves of tension and release.
