Pleasures Bloom Estée Lauder for women

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.

One day I run some perfume marathon, trying to discover a new frag for myself, without knowing what I was looking for. After some two hours (yeah :-D) of sritzing and sniffing, when no part of my arma didn't get its scented treatment, the only thing I could still distinguish was Pleasures delight. So I bought it. But I won the battle! It was also how I learned that I like violet. It's not an old-fashioned vi at all, because combined with the rose and peony it enhances the whole to a really good mood potion. It's so bright as the pink flower they put on the bottle neck, I suppose pink peony. But not offending, as one would think about the colour. Happy pink, decent but somehow daring, smiling. It's very springy, though I've chosen it in high summer. Yes, like a bunch of flowering pink peonies! Well, that all - good mood soul food

I have never tried it, but from the notes it seems that it should be one of my favourite fragrance! Most of my favourite notes are in this fragrance: citrus, muskus, vanilla... And flowery smells. And it seems it is quite soft, romantic, and not very sweet... I will try it as sonn as I get to! I really want to try it out...

I am a huge fan of peony, but definitely not in this context.. I mean, the fragrance itself is pretty good - I would describe it as a 'fresh floral', but the problem is.. the lasting power. On me, it lasts A LOT and gets really overwhelming. I have a feeling it will strangle me!! :( If there was an EDT version of this, it would definitely be mine! but not the Eau de Parfum. Sorry, but no, no, no....

No staying power!!

This frag is delicious. I am not one for fruities but I love Estee Lauder and this is another work of art. Sweet, refreshing and delicious - perfect for more mature women.

Looks like a piece of arts! Romance! I definitely want a purchase of this for my girl!

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 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.

Really nice, soft and girly fragrance. It's not 'in your face' floral and it's a wearable everyday perfume. I like it.

I think overall its such a pretty smell, in my opinion it smells somewhat powdery and delicate, theres definatly more floral then fruit i think. I bought my mum this for christmas and its a really sweet not too overpowering pretty fragrance, love it! x

I test at the counter today,but now I'm confused because I test it along with Pleasures. Pleasures Bloom closely resembles Pleasures with a little fruity in the beginning(a little sour). Then it reminds me of Pleasures Delight. I think Pleasures collections (excluding Pleasures Exotic) smell the same,but the scent is nice and feminine anyway.

Hmmm...more like Pleasures Blah.

It opens up rather generically citrus/floral. I caught a fast glimpse of grass. I was hoping that the grass would stick around but it was here and gone. Then it was a floral bugspray, and the drydown...complete Pink Lemonade. Really. Pink Lemonade.

C'mon Estee Lauder, I KNOW you have better than this!

My favorite Estee Lauder Pleasures is Delight, but this one is next in line. Smells fabulous. It smells the closest to the original Pleasures for Women but so much better. I love this one. Sprayed one spritz on myself in Macys and then had to have it. Too good not to get I think

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.

I try it last September, but only now I feel like to write a review here. As much as I love the original version of Pleasures, I do expected something from this perfume as well. After I got my test paper strip, I try to wave the paper in front of me so I don't get shock if I directly smell it. Then I got high pitch of sweet floral and fruity notes. It really please me. Very summery perfume.
The perfume start with burst of floral and fruity notes that really catchy. Really blooming, the name really suggest something from inside the bottle. The flower ribbon on the bottle neck also telling me "I'm blooming". I'm not good as describe from the notes because I do enjoy perfume as a scent - it's a mix from lots essential oil and what I need to know is whether I like it, or hate it.
The perfume make me feel clean, fresh and very 'vibrant' kinda feeling. It's on my list for my next perfume purchase. But I need to finish the perfume that I don't like first.LOL...

Nothing to do with the original Pleasures. This one is very sweet, all I could detect was white chocolate, cotton candy, pink marshmallows and peony. It's not bad, but it falls into the category of the headache inducers for me.

similar to original pleasures. very common-scent and very 'safe'

This fragrance is a little similar to the original Pleasures, however it is a tad fruitier and not as soapy.

Opening with lively fruits and citrus, Pleasures Bloom is perfect for those hot Summer days. Pretty and feminine, this fragrance is relatively strong like most Estee Lauder scents are.

Despite my respect for the brand, Estee Lauder's scents have something about them that grates on my nerves. Although I find most of their fragrances pleasant enough, they smell 'plasticky' to me. Pleasures Bloom is guilty of this strange synthetic note that allows me detect an Estee Lauder scent from miles away.

Disregarding my dislike of the way in which Estee Lauder's fragrances are constructed, this is a very pleasant balance of fruits and flowers. In terms of packaging, I've always liked the bottle design for the Pleasures bottles, however the strange fabric flower around the neck of the bottle is just odd and looks cheaply made.

My guess is that this fragrance is intended to appeal to a younger generation as well as the established Pleasures fans. In my opinion, Pleasures Bloom caters to both.

The lasting power and the sillage are both excellent, as can be expected from this brand. If you had no problems with the way Pleasures smelt, you may possibly enjoy this newer, fruitier creation.

Smells like the original and add sweet and sour tang of citrus and other fresh fruits. Nicely blend. Smells great. Maybe even nicer than the original.

I tried this today and it's so nice. Not outstanding by any means but one you'll want even if you have 30 other florals. I don't smell the fruity part at all but I suppose it's what keeps this from being a huge stuffy bouquet of the same ol' same ol'. So consider this an UNstuffed floral! lol I think you surely would use this bottle up sooner than later. Great present for someone who wears that moldy old scent that makes you dread to inhale your very first step within 40 feet of them!

got a test on paper today without intent. They gave away sampels on sticks to people passing by.
it made me think of R L Romance... could't compare then and there and see if that was the case. But I guess this can be popular by Romance lovers. But what do I know ...

I have no experiences of this Pleasures-line by E.Lauder. Maybe I should get some?

I'm almost afraid to review this because of all the good reviews. Well on me the fragrance does not smell very good. I tried a sample and even let my husband smell it. He didn't like it either. It had a kind of grassy or hay smell with a few flowers tossed in. Or like a bunch of grass clippings that had been left in a trash can for a week. And then someone came along and put a bottle of floral perfume in with it. So I would say it was a sour old fruity scent. Sorry. I guess it's just my chemistry.

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.

I tried this and it smelled like raspberries. What could be more July than the scent of fresh raspberries ? I think this is a good summer fragrance with the fruit and not too heavy scent.

I have never been a huge fan of the original Pleasures or any of its subsequent flankers, but a friend of mine was able to get me a few samples of this before it was released and I loved it instantly.

There is nothing subtle about it - it is definitely a very bright, energetic experience that errs more toward the floral than the fruity. However, the fruit notes that are present give the floral notes a boost and a hint of sweetness without being over the top. There is nothing sticky, cloying, or candy-like here.

This fragrance is extremely fresh, youthful, clean, and perfect for the hot months of summer, especially for those of us who live in really humid climates.

As of today, a 3.4 oz. bottle of Pleasures Bloom has been added to my perfume wardrobe - the very first Estee Lauder fragrance to make the cut!
