Reviews of Pleasures for Men (1997)
by Estée Lauder

Wouldn't wear this filth if paid. Smells like citrus in the last stages of decomposistion; for the life of me I cannot figure out why women love this garbage. I'll stick w/ Intuition or Lauder for men when it comes to Estee Lauder scents.

Pleasures is very oily & foggy.
i wonder why was that created?
this fragrance doesn't change during time, that's really boring.
doesn't have any special thing, but fortunately it's longevity is low.
suitable for Mickey Mouse.

Honestly speaking, its not bad, but its just a fresh and clean scent that smells like 1000 other things out there. Its not worth buying, every other hugo, zegna and lacoste scent smells like this. You could even buy a cheap perfume from a drug store for a similar scent, I will pass

Fresh, a bit overflowered with a sweet fruity note and soft woody basenotes, but... eh... it's not a very masculine fragrance. In fact a pair of girls on my office liked it (I had a sample in my desk in case I forgot to use cologne)... the first one tried it that day and the second one usually asked me the sample as an additional aroma for meetings.

Ugh, so very cloying. Reminds me of Victoria's Secret Very Sexy, but so very cloying. I really don't like the smell at first, but it improves after it dries down a bit, but I don't think I could ever wear it for a whole day.

What a nasty little fragrance. It's fresh, clean, and smells totally....cheap. If you want to smell like bathroom cleaner wear this stuff. Otherwise, there are much better fragrances (even in this category) to choose from.

I received this as a present and I've never been more disappointed in a fragrance. The top notes are stingingly powerful, almost nauseatingly so, this quickly dies to... nothing. Nothing is a relief after stinking yourself up with this stuff. I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy and the remains of the bottle (99.5ml!) will shortly be binned. Don't waste your time guys!

If you're into floral scents thens you'll probably like this. I just tried a sample of Pleasures and it's way to feminine for me so I won't be buying any.

I don't like Pleasures - it's too Œwith it¹, trendy, etc. It's as if Lauder took a look at the success of Tommy and decided....
I don't find it has a lot of depth. And this isn't to say that I dislike all fragrances of this type: Issey is excellent, as is Rocher's Homme Nature and Lucky You. And I have been fond of a number of Lauder scents, both male and female. I really appreciate Youth Dew, White Linen, Knowing, Private Collection, Aliage. I have also worn Aramis, Tuscany, Aramis 900. Since Ms Lauder retired the quality of the products from this company seems to have gone downhill. The fragrances are brought to the public based on market research, not intuition. Estee Lauder never launched a scent based on market trends. If she like the fragrance it was simply put into production.
