Pleasures Exotic

I purchased 100ml bottle in blind and although it is not what I expected, I still rate it highly. First of all, the olfactive group classification is deceiving. So is notes decription. There is nothing mouthwatering or tropical about Pleasures Exotic. Neither is there any sweetness. The fragrance feels floral green and the only notes that are detectable to my nose are grapefruit, litchi, green notes and musk. And these certainly do not make it feel fruity. Pleasures Exotic is really tangy, zesty, cripsy fresh. I wish mnago was more pronounced as the note gives a mellow and tropical feel to fragrances and Pleasures Exotic was supposed to feel like this and unfortunately, it did not deliver. On one hand, fruity sweet/tropical fragrance lovers will be disappointed. But those who appreciate crispiness of floral greens will fall head over heels with Pleasures Exotic. Good fragrance with pleasant projection....but where is my favourite mango....? Oh, where????? 8/10

Light, but intensive enough fruity floral exotic fragrance! The most noticeable notes in this fragrance are the grapefruit note, the mango note and something like the hibiscus tea note, because the hibiscus flower doesn't smell. The fruity notes in this fragrance smells fresh and mixed with the hibiscus flower note the fragrance smells sour enough. The lasting power is very good. I like this fragrance. It's cool for summer days. Only sometimes it seems a little bit intensively annoying despite it's light in general.

Tropical, but not overly fruity, lily-of-the-valley is also strong. Usually I don't like lily-of-the-valley so much, but in this combination it is lovely. This is like early morning in late spring or summer, so light, fresh and yet fruity. A perfect scent for summertime, also in a very warm climate, I think. This is something not everyone wears, so I was happy to find it, thanks to the recommendations here. :)

i had this perfume a long time ago. really beautiful floral fruity perfume. i get so many compliments every time i wear it. a bit harsh for the opening but after an hour, it turn down to floral and less fruity. dry down is dry fruity with floral. i try to find out this perfume at the local shopping mall in my country, unfortunately it was discontinued. perrrrrrrgggg.

I own all perfumes in the pleasures line. Just bought my last Exotic bottle at Nordstrom last year and have noticed these perfumes begin to smell bad after light/sun exposure. So, beware... Regardless, this has always been my favorite in the pleasures line. It does smell exotic! This also lasts forever. Ugh, so good!!! PS: I smell citrus and flowers

Every time I put this on, I think "why don't I wear this more often?" It is such a lovely light scent that just screams 'summer vacation' to me. I'm going to Mexico in a few days and this one is going with me for sure. It is my favorite in the Pleasures line.

This is one of my favorite scents. When I want to feel feminine and pretty I wear this, when I want to feel sexy I wear this as a base and add something spicy. This and Fancy by Jessica Simpson smells so great together. That is my sexy scent :)

I bought Burberry Brit sheer 2015 today and thought it smelled familiar, then realised it smelled very similar (but a little sharper) to pleasures exotic that I owned in 2006! So if you’re missing this scent, definitely check out Brit sheer!

I had such high hopes for this one by all the good reviews! I couldn’t wait to smell this and as I did all I smelled was Celery, I couldn’t believe it... I even asked my hubby to smell it and he said the same thing!! So disappointed!

Love this fragrance. Lasts all day on me, and even when I can't smell it anymore others around me still can. Pleasures exotic smells delish! And far more better than the original pleasure which is 2 strong on the flower note.

adore the scent so much! i find it sexy, fresh, feminine and elegant to wear :D anyway i cant really smell the fruity scent in it, but the notes are blended well hence it smells so outstanding compare to other perfumes :D

Extremely similar to Pleasures, but with a fruity tropical breeze. Very feminine, light, romantic and sensual, ideal for summer days and evenings, holidays, beach weddings, it is fun, informal, and lasts very well.

Just one sniff and it whisks you away to a sunny, beautiful and exotic tropical island... An awesome fragrance, love it.

Just like plain Pleasures, but a lots dreamier, and somehow synthetic?? In general... NICE

This is all tangy, juicy tropical fruits and citruses for me. It has a crisp, green quality and a hint of woodiness and musk in the base. The combo of tart citrus, crisp greenery, and clean woods reminds me a little of D&G Light Blue. This would make a very nice summer fragrance. It's not actually that sweet at all on my skin - it leans much more towards the fresh, crisp side for a fruity fragrance. I don't see much relation to Escada scents such as Taj Sunset (although they both share prominent mango and citrus). I find Escada's mango offering to be unbearably sweet rather than fresh. With it's tangy greenness (courtesy of the cassis and lemon), Pleasures Exotic avoids this sweetness overload that make many fruity fragrances unwearable for me. I don't find Pleasures Exotic so unique that I want to rush out and get a bottle right now, but I wouldn't mind making this a replacement for my bottle of Light Blue one day. The staying power of Pleasures Exotic does seem to be better than the former. And as someone who has a hard time finding many fruity scents that wow me, I think this is quite good.

Today I'm testing E.L Pleasures exotic. Very fresh and clean, reminds me a little bit of C.K Eternity Moment. Same fresh scent. Nice flowers, just a hint of fruit and a hint of Sandalwood. Not overwhelming sweet and thats good. Very female and sensual. A great every-day-scent to wear at office or at home. Its not a loud scent but its there around you for many hours. Så har jag provat E.L Pleasures Exotic. Härligt fräsch och ren, påminner lite om C.K Eternity Moment. Samma fräscha dofttoner. Inte sötsliskig, vilket är bra. Härliga blomnoter, med en aning frukt och en aning sandelträ. Otroligt mjuk, kvinnlig och sensuell. En härlig varje-dag-doft till kontoret eller hemma. Ingen högljudd/stark doft men den finns runt dig för flera timmar.

The first moments after I sprayed the perfume I felt confused -- is it really a fruity floral? I smell some fresh green stuff and some sour citrus -- lemon or even grapefruit with some wood. Then the smell develops into something very fruity with just the right sweetness that you can go either way -- day or night. And then on my wrist (not on my hair) it smells wonderfully warm, like some combination of a big sweet fruit (mango?) and some wood, I couldn't think of what kind. I guess I can go for sandalwood+musk listed here. This last smell was incredibly pleasant. It felt perfectly like Fall for me. now, the question is, will I miss this smell when my mini bottle is over? At first, I thought I won't, but now I'm not so sure.

I rarely buy department store fragrances because so many of them smell the same to me, but THIS... I couldn't leave this behind after sampling. Pleasures Exotic is a LOVELY tropical floral. I am a huge fan of mangoes and lychee, which I used to eat alot in the summers, so this scent smelled very familiar and yummy to me in the beginning, and then the floral aspect makes it a little more grown-up, as opposed to being too fruity and juvenile. The dry-down is very much like the essence of "just after a shampoo". I kept catching whiffs of my hair and wondering what smelled a bit like white musk (clean, soft, sensual) and realized it was the dry-down of this perfume after I had sprayed my hair a few hours earlier.

I had this when it was first released, in 2010. It was sweet, tropical, milky-creamy with a mild musc in the base. I don't remember how and where exactly it was stored, but certainly not in a way to make it turn bad (rancid) by 2012, not even a half was used and it had to be thrown away. Overall a very disappointing experience, and I don't think I've been interested in anything from EL ever since.

Not bad, not bad. Not great either. I love how one of the notes listed is "tropical fruits" because that's exactly what it smells like. No particular fruit, just tropical ones. The fragrance is surprisingly light and refreshing, not nauseatingly sweet by any means, but I personally find the whole thing a bit too synthetic and indistinctive.
