Five notes crowd the very top of Pleasures Intense Perfume alone, and Estee Lauder rarely trusted a simpler formula for a fragrance shaped specifically to feel more concentrated than the original. Green lily, peony, black currant, ylang ylang, and cassis open in an ambitious floral fruity rush unlike the brand's lighter, more familiar releases nearby. Lily, jasmine, tiare flower, and Moroccan rose carry the middle into lush, romantic floral territory with notable depth and complexity throughout the wear.
Maple, vanilla, styrax, and benzoin close the base in warm, resinous richness that lasts for many long hours after every application. This floral Eau de Parfum suits evening wear and grand formal occasions especially well, wonderfully rewarding real patience and close attention.
