Pleasures Bloom

Beautiful! Pleasures certainly do Bloom! It's a gorgeous, delicate, sweet floral with delicious fruity notes - fresh and enticing. Very strong, but light, and fresh. An absolute pleasure, truly. A lovely soft delightful bouquet of the most perfect gentle flowers, mixed with the sweet and tangy fruit, and smoothed and creamed by the patchouli, musk and vanilla. The base is so gently supportive - not heavy at all, and hardly noticeable really - the focus is always on the flowers and fruit. The whole experience is one of pleasure, from beginning to end; and that's a lovely long time on me, 13 hours and more, and the fragrance maintains the strength it begins with, virtually to the very end, only softening for a further couple of hours, which is very amazing for such a (deceptively) light scent. There's nothing harsh or soapy about it, just a delicate powdery/creaminess in the dry down, which I love completely. Very smooth. It's such a heavenly feminine perfume. I adore Pleasures too. Both of them are of my all time favourites, and I couldn't possibly live without them. They both make me feel very happy and content.

To me opening is bit harsh, berries are so dominantly noticable along with litchi. What it develops into is, on the other hand, amazing to me. My mother’s most favourite perfume is Pleasures so i am very familiar with original scent and i like it but not a huge fan of it. This one is familiar yet more modern and lovable for me. I really like how it turns into a subtle, peony-based perfume. I am a big fan of peony and this one is a really good peony perfume. Mostly it is a nice,creamy scent balanced with peony and rose to me. By time it turns into a floral vanilla, with a hint of musk. I smell slightly pepper somewhere in it even if it s not listed in notes but it gives me this vibe. It is more like skin-scent , would be suitable for indoors, offices etc. Longevity is not impressive; but it was good enough for me; around 6th-7th hour i can still notice it when i smell my wrist. Anyway it is not a sillage and longevity monster.

My male best friend bought this for me last summer and I have been in love with it ever since. It is youthful but not in a teenaged sense. It's a light. fresh, sweet almost jubilantly carefree blast of fun in a bottle. It isn't subtle in the least, it is a scent that projects and gets noticed. Granted that it does smell like a lot of other stuff out there but at the same time there is just something different about it to me and very distinct, for those of us who own it we can tell what it is when someone else is wearing it almost instantly, at least I and two of my other female friends who got bottles for themselves can. I think that it is sexy but not in a femme fatale kind of way but rather in a more fun flirtatious batting of the eyelashes kind of way. Great for everyday use and wonderful in warmer weather. Every time I wear it I get asked what I am wearing or i receive compliments on the scent from both men and women.

I was given a bottle of this today :) The first two words that came to mind were "pink" and "adorable"! Pleasures Bloom is incredibly fresh, and what I consider to be a perfect fragrance for Spring and the start of Summer. On me, it opened up with juicy, pink grapefruit (rather than yellow grapefruit). After the initial blast of that, I started to smell big, plump, fresh Lychees and strawberries followed by pink roses, blooming jasmine and violets! Every note I've listed seems to mesh together beautifully during the drydown and makes for an incredibly feminine, fun, fresh, "I'M HERE" type of fragrance. So to me, this will now be known as my 'Pink Adorable' scent which I look forward to wearing a lot, especially when the weather warms up here in Australia. I'm not normally a fan of Estee Lauder perfumes, and I really don't care for the original Pleasures at all...but this is just gorgeous.

I bought this, knowing that Estee Lauder's fragrances are long-lasting and of high quality. I wanted something similar to Lancome's Miracle, but longer lasting. And this smelled very similar to that with the opening of litchi in it. I, however, do like my perfumes a bit spicier than this composition. The grapefruit note lasts like 20 minutes and then it morphs into violets with peony and raspberry. Don't get me wrong, it's nice, but the violets darken up the scent too much. I would rather there be more citrus to this one. This dries down a florally vanilla on me.

I am also in LOVE with this fragrance right now. My olfactory senses are itching for fruity florals this time of year, and so I've added a few more fragrances to my collection in just the past month! This is similar to both Ralph Lauren Romance and Lancome Miracle. The grapfruit is so beautiful when you first spray it on and a few minutes later I can smell the raspberry and litchi which adds a sweetness and after a while it dries down to this beautiful floral composition. Well-done, with pretty good staying power.

If you love flower scents, this is for you! I love it. It`s fresh, flowery, sweet. I still think it`s more adult woman scent than teenagers. Today it`s cold winter morning here in north and first sprit on my wrist made me so happy and made me reminds the summer. I think this is a good work scent, sophisticated and womanly. I think it reminds me little bit SF Incanto dream, but this is not that sweet. Something similar I just don`t grasp what. I recommend highly! It`s stays over 6 hours!

i've recently become a humanist, pitying my colleagues in the open-space, realizing how many hours they have spend together with my vanilla-apricot-citrus perfumes around (and i loooved spritzing every 2 hrs). Now i am more thoughtful - so I tend to chose nice but close-to-skin perfumes. This one is PERFECT. It's sweet and clean and not ofensive, so it'a s perfect office frag! and as i wprk from 9 to 6, 5 days a week, this gives me a positive vibe pretty much all the time! :)

I bought it yesterday, tried the sample, sprayed it on my wrist and was hooked! I love it and had to buy it, I could wear this sexy fragrance everyday! The dry down is amazing! Starts out fruity and ends with a sexy flirty musk that lingers all day into the night. I really like this one. I've been told several times you smell really good. Fruity, Lush, Playful, Clean, Sexy Floral. Smells really good in hot weather but could be worn anytime of the year to me.

Very feminine and beautiful rose note done right not overpowering. This smells wonderful all notes blend well together long staying power. No artificial smell non offensive just lovely floral scent. The dry down is a bit on the sweet side but not in a repulsive way.

it's a great perfume, it lasts, it is very special, I try to be careful using it, because it is so good, it also has a price which isn't low... It is very delicate, feminine, has a little sporty note. I could wear it all the time!

I've just bought it. I sprayed and I felt it really like Idylle by Guerlain but it's more lovely than Idylle. Idylle's so elegant and mature. Pleasure Bloom's fresh, lovely and super cute scent with floral notes. I love it

Everything is perfect about this fragrance! Firstly, the smell is really delicious, soft and attractive! In addition I really like its design: a peony flower on the top!)

I just got it as a sample. It's soft but it lasts. To me it smells like Tresor.

This is lovely. So florally, fresh and rosy. Very strong. Beautiful. Glorious.

It was my fragrance of my college years. I really love it..

This perfume is magic , so nice , so clean &fresh

Estee lauder perfumes are not easy to find in my town so I ordered bloom without a single test,and I knew that this is a risky blindbuy,I am a rose lover and a floral fan,but I don't like florals like pink narciso(edp) and guerlain idylle,I'm also afraid of bitter very classic florals that don't seem proper for my age(25) But about pleasures bloom I can say that it's absolutely gorgeous,it's lovely and I love it more than what I've expected..it's a real pink scent,a lovely pink spring/summer floral,but not a childish pink one,it's ladylike but also youthful Florals are not serious and bitter here,like classic florals,they are not candyish either,sweetness is delicate and just the right amount,I can feel a lovely combination of young,fresh blooming flowers,roses,peony and a little bit of violets,I love powdery fragrances and I can detect soft powderyness here,but really soft Fruits just stand behind florals,make the scent colorful and cheerful I also love it's drydown,soft creamy florals with a hint of clean musk It's not a generic floralfruity,not a classic clean floral..it's something between,very easy to love and wearable It can be used as a daily spring/summer/even early fall perfume or you can just save it for special occasions like romantic dates,or your engagement or wedding day! Pleasures bloom is a longlasting scent on my almost dry skin,and I'm really thankful about this,sillage is moderate,noticable for people around you I even love pleasure's simple bottle and now I'm looking forward to test other flankers and even other EL perfumes Thanks god they didn't have 1.7 oz bottle and sent me a 3.4 one One of the best florals I own Edit: it's exactly what I wanted Guerlain Idylle to be.it's like a more delicate,less sharp,,better balanced Idylle It has also a lot in common with the original Pleasures,they're like mother and daughter.it's like a more youthful and modern,slightly sweeter and more fruity and easier to wear Pleasures But the most similar perfume to Pleasures Bloom to my nose is Lancome Miracle So Magic.they're like 90% similar,both lovely 9/10

Wearing this today to switch it up, and as I feel it’s a bit more mature smelling and less fruity/girly than my go-to’s. I have the purse-sized eau de parfum and I cannot remember where I got it, probably in a sampler set from some years back. I really enjoyed the dry down! On first spray, a bouquet of pink flowers in this hit me right in the nose. I’d say the same for the original Pleasures too. I think it’s a big peony and little rose. It’s a little powdery, but not aldehydic or old-lady smelling in my opinion. The fruits make it so that this is wearable for me, though I think I get the less identifiable litchi scent strongest. There’s something... squeaky?... about that fruit tone there. The dry down is so nice. I love a sweet musk and that’s exactly how it ends up with my body chemistry. For about 2 hours after applying I couldn’t stop sniffing my wrists! Unfortunately the scent is pretty much gone by hour 3. I wish it lasted longer. However, the scent I sprayed on my clothes is still lightly there, and staying more fruit-floral and much less musky than it got on my skin. I’ll use the rest of my little bottle for occasions when I need to feel more put-together but I’m unsure if I will purchase a full-size.

This is a present from a dear friend. I find it nice on its own but finds it quite 'off' on my skin. I finally realized that the grapefruit note which my skin reacted, is the main culprit. Fortunately, it did not turn bitter like other perfumes with grapefruit note. It turns me into a grapefruit sorbet and when the vanilla note comes in, I smell like a grapefruit-vanilla sweet! I think that this not the original intention of this perfume which is meant to be floral. It smells divinely floral on my friend but turn me into one big walking grapefruit.
