Pleasures

Pleasures is a floral for women, made by Alberto Morillas and Annie Buzantian for Estée Lauder in 1995 around the idea of flowers just after rain. Green notes and pink pepper open it sheer and a little sharp, then it fills with lily, peony and lily-of-the-valley, with karo karounde blossom giving the heart something heady. Musk and cedar keep the base light instead of letting it settle. Transparent and clean rather than rich, despite the length of the note list. It lasts a moderate while and projects moderately, and it suits spring daytime.
