Pleasures Intense
Pleasures Intense is an eau de parfum from Estée Lauder, launched in 2002 and originating in France. It is built on a white floral and rose heart with a fresh, fruity lift and a sweeter, spiced warmth beneath, giving it a feminine and polished character rather than a soft or sheer one.
The opening is bright and slightly juicy, with peony and blackcurrant setting a crisp, fruity tone before the floral heart opens. The middle of the scent becomes creamy and luminous with a rich white floral softness. As it settles, a sweet vanilla and resinous base add depth and a gently woody warmth.
Its sillage is strong, so it tends to carry well through a room, and it is generally long lasting, usually holding through a full day. Because it moves from fresh to warm, it suits both daytime and evening wear, and its mix of crispness and sweetness makes it easy to reach for across spring, summer, autumn and winter.
It fits a range of settings, from casual days and professional environments to a night out, and it suits anyone who wants a scent that feels both confident and graceful. Presented as an eau de parfum in a 100ml bottle from Estée Lauder.
