Pleasures Eau de Parfum — Estée Lauder

Eau de Parfum (EDP) from Estée Lauder.

Paid links · Sold via a marketplace listing · how this works

Scent description (editorial impression)

Cut grass and dewy white flowers, lily, peony and lilac, as clean as an expensive soap: the 1990s spring floral that many have worn for decades and still get asked about. Its critics smell a cleaning product or a featureless bouquet, and on some skins it is gone within the hour.

How can I tell whether a bottle of Pleasures Eau de Parfum is the current formulation?

A batch code alone does not tell you which formula is in a bottle.

To check a particular bottle, ask Estée Lauder or the retailer about its batch code. Owners' side-by-side comparisons are not confirmation from the house.

Pleasures Eau de Parfum is sold as Eau de Parfum (EDP), a label generally used for a higher fragrance concentration than eau de toilette.

The labels are not standardised, they do not predict longevity or projection, and versions sold under the same name can differ in composition.

Beautiful Eau de Parfum

Eau de Parfum (EDP). One owner, given it as a high-school Christmas present in the mid-1980s, now wears nothing else, and for many it has been a signature since the 1980s: a lush bouquet of rose, lily, tuberose and lily of the valley on creamy sandalwood.
