Pleasures Delight

Me and my daughter really love this as the days pass and we get to smell it more and more..its so sweet and it lingers and the grapefruit citrus takes the sweetness up another level..very lively,comforting scent that revives you and grows more and more on you..Great Job Estee Lauder..! This fragrance is really good its basically Thierry Mugler's lighter version of Angel with grapefruit or definately some citrusy scent..its a very fruity gourmand..and what makes it soo much like Angel is the honey note that is in it that makes it so sweet but not as cloying as Angel even though i love that scent...i personally wanted to see if there was another dupe to Angel..and this is about 50% there..pretty shocked by it...if you love angel but want a fresher twist to it go with this...i can see why people are calling it angelbomb in conjunction with flowerbomb because of the freshness but it doesn't have that full flowerbomb sweetness i like just the freshness...i am trying to collect more of the scents that are popular but not so idolized like britneys and jessica's although i love them and use to own them all i am trying to find alternatives to them as i can't wear those anymore but as i find dupes or alternatives they actually are very close or a more grown up interpretation of it which is a good change for me as i am getting older and want to develope my tastes...like i love Hidden & Circus Fantasy and so i got Amor Amor..something different then the regulars everyone is buying even though Amor Amor is a bit popular because it smells so good...I only have so many fragrances that actually stimulate me and make me smile..i can't believe this is one of them! Update..this is smelling more and more like Angel with a twist...I really think i like this better...its a strong scent...not as strong as Angel but very close i give it about 65-75% minimum on it being not only closer to Angel but strength as well...not for the faint hearted.

first of all: i do not like at all the original pleasure. too harsh and simple, rather unloveable and heartless. pleasure delight has nothing at all in common with the original scent. i bought my bottle blind for a verrrry low price, without expecting mutch of it, just because the bottle is so cute. now i'm glad i did discover this beautiful delight scent! it's not a soft angel, noo, nothing in common with angel... it's not harsh and not only sugar, it has a bunch of soft creamy and powdery flowers, juicy fruits and a gourmand base. this perfume is a real delight pleasure ! it contains all my favorite notes like: pomegranate, very juicy on the top. the wild strawberry very tart and sweet. the heart envokes with the most precious blooming flowers, peony, heliotrope and powdery white flowers. rose is very prominent in this too, aaaaaaah so adorable sweet and bold! the base is warm, musky and innocent marshmellow sweet with a hint of sexy smoky pachouli. vanilla and caramel give it that roundness what makes this perfume a perfect gourmand. ok, it lacks originality for being a masterpiece but it's very very nice. this is not to compare with angel which one i would wear only for nights out, because its strooong. this on it isn t at all! its a good daytime fume. very playful! sillage good, staying power good. bottle very simple and cute ! one to love !

I'm surprised that I like this so much. Normally I steer clear of heavy sweet gourmand fragrances, especially ones with notes of 'marshmellow.' But this is the happiest perfume I own. This instantly puts me in a good mood. When you put it on, it smells like strawberries and whipped cream, ala strawberry shortcake. This lasts for a bit, into the heart which is a rosey floral sweet patchouli--I would say that clean sweet patchouli is the most dominant feature of PD. The florals are replaced more by vanilla/caramel in the drydown. The base is strong and creamy and does not wear like the skin scent that most bases are. Honestly I don't know what Angel smells like, so I can't compare to it. I do group this in with Chanel Coco Madamoiselle, and Prada EDP. Also, this perfumes does what it does so well for me--sweet, lush, happy, whipped cream/patchouli/vanilla--that it sits alone & stands out among all my other bottles. This has absolutely nothing to do with the original Pleasures and I wonder why they made this into a flanker. Sillage--good. Lasting power--excellent.

It’s a baby of the Angel and LVEB. It can be named Angel Dessert. I actually hate both Angel and LVEB. How EL was able to take two of my most hated perfumes and make a baby? And strangely enough I like it more than Angel and LVEB. Not sure who would wear it. It’s actually pretty complex scent, smelling pretty expensive, but seems outdated now. I think it is actually a landmark scent. It was after Angel and before LVEB. Seems if it was issued 5-10 years later it would have a commercial success. I got it accidentally and now it goes for sale. But I want to say “it was good to meet you”. EDIT: seems my consciousness is not in sync with my unconsciousness: when I was writing above my rationale thinking was "it is not my cup of tea": I do not like gourmands, sweets and Angel. But my low brain had a constant flashbacks about this perfume after I sold it. So - I bought it again. It is thick boozy strawberry-vanilla-marshmallow with patchouli base adding the spiciness and freshness together. It also has a vintage vibe! It makes me intoxicated.

This was my signature during my early-mid 20s. :) In hindsight I think I was just determined to have a signature and wore it to death, when really it's the kind of scent that feels to me like it has a very definite time and place (cool, grey day; indoors). I get a big cloud of patchouli and caramel on opening that feels luxurious and a little heady, very warm -- it doesn't actually smell like coffee of course, but it's that same feeling you get smelling fresh-brewed espresso. After that it turns into a lovely golden bakery, brightly lit with glowing lamps, trays of patisserie and pots of berry jam and marmalade on every table. It's caramelly, but in that Jersey caramels way rather than true caramel. I get a gently fresh note from the strawberry (or pomegranate?) that keeps the whole thing from going syrupy. The dry down is patchouli and caramel again, lovely and soft without being cloying. ETA: I originally got this because I fell in love with Miss Dior Cherie but couldn't afford that. I do think there are strong similarities. :)
