Estee Lauder Pleasures Eau de Parfum 30ml Spray

Estée Lauder Pleasures Eau de Parfum 30ml is the modern-classic floral that defined the brand's fragrance line when it launched in 1995. Created by master perfumers Annie Buzantian and Alberto Morillas, it captures Evelyn Lauder's brief to evoke "the clarity of flowers after a spring rain" — a luminous bouquet of lily, peony and lily-of-the-valley wrapped in soft musks and warm woods. Three decades on, it remains one of the best-selling women's fragrances in the world.

About Estée Lauder

Founded in New York in 1946 by Estée and Joseph Lauder, Estée Lauder Companies has become one of the largest prestige beauty houses on the planet. The original Pleasures launched in 1995 to instant acclaim, winning the FiFi Fragrance of the Year award and spawning a long line of flankers. It is widely credited with shaping the "clean-floral" direction of late-1990s perfumery.

Who it's for

Pleasures suits women drawn to bright, dewy florals over heavy or sweet compositions. It works year-round but shines in spring and summer, and reads as effortlessly polished for office wear, daytime occasions and casual evenings. If you enjoy fragrances like Marc Jacobs Daisy, Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey or Clinique Happy, Pleasures sits comfortably in the same family — slightly more floral, slightly less aquatic.

How to use

1. Hold the bottle around 15 cm from clean, moisturised skin.
2. Mist once or twice onto pulse points — wrists, neck and behind the ears.
3. Avoid rubbing the wrists together; pressure can bruise the delicate top notes.
4. For longer trail, lightly spritz onto hair or clothing.

The 30ml format is ideal for handbag wear and travel, giving you Estée Lauder's signature spring-garden floral wherever the day takes you.
