Estée Lauder Pleasures Eau de Parfum 50ml is the sheer floral that defined a generation when it launched in 1995, conceived by Evelyn Lauder and composed by Annie Buzantian and Alberto Morillas. The brief was simple and quietly radical at the time: capture the clarity of flowers after a spring shower. The result is an airy, dewy bouquet of white lilies, peony and lily-of-the-valley brightened by green notes and pink pepper, settling on a soft musk-and-sandalwood base.

Who it's for
Pleasures suits anyone who reaches for clean, luminous florals over heavier orientals or gourmands. It works year-round but truly comes alive in spring and summer, lifting easily in warm air. A natural fit for daytime, office, weddings and any occasion where a polished, optimistic floral feels right.
How to use
- Hold the bottle around 15 cm from the skin.
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, the base of the neck, behind the ears.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together, which can dull the lighter top notes.
- Reapply lightly after a few hours if you want the green-floral opening to stay forward.
