I love this to death! I don't know why, exactly... but it's amazing and works with my body chemistry very well. A gourmand that doesn't overpower or smell too contrived- EL Pleasures Delight is complex and mature. Much better than Angel, in my opinion.

At first it smells kind like the kind of sweets that you can buy in Sweden. Sort of sweet but slightly synthetic. But then once the top notes settle down it turns into a very sweet scent that reminds me of Tosca cake. It's a little too weak for me.

Is it me or this perfume? It doesn't smell like any of the Pleasures line. It smell rancid chemical, like drugstore cheap oldlady perfume. Not soft at all, very strong and awful vanilla scent. Gave me a headache rightaway. Didn't expect it to be like this. I was so looking forward to try it since I love all the Pleasures line and have tried almost all of them. Loved Estee Lauder Perfumes, but not this one.

Forgot to mention this was Lauder's first gourmand... and they took a risk, so I applaud them for that.

A few Christmas's ago I was OBSESSED with buying this perfume. lol I finally got it with a purse spray. I loved the ad, loved the notes and I was on a mission. Once I had it for awhile, I found myself not wearing it alot. Maybe it's the patchouli in the base, but I don't reach for it enough. Sometimes it's harshly sweet and strong in certain humid weather. Often compared to a mini "Angel" or too much like it. I need to use it up, but unsure if I'd ever buy again.

I love this perfume. I think it might be a winner with guys cos two of my guy friends liked it? Anyway, the dry down is a lil similar to Britney Spears' Fantasy because of the fact that its gourmand but this one is definitely more edgy and sophisticated.

This is the ONLY Pleasures I like! This one smells REALLY different from the rest of them

Interesting POSITIVE reactions from people all around whenever I wear Pleasures Delight. Keep trying others, keep coming back to this one. Love it.

I agree it is way too "messy" as afr as notes..too overflowery, way too much patchouli..I felt like I was back in the seventies!!! not for me..it is a mess!!!
03/08/09 08:44:07
Yuck! I was looking forward to try this cause the notes sounded amazing. But this stuff is horrible, It contains to much floral notes

I think patchouli ruins most gourmands. Its like having the best smelling sweets from fruits to cupcakes and then pouring hot sause on it. It doesnt mix well to me. I loved this one minus the patchouli. Its not as bad as Angel though!!

Very gourmand smelling. I liked it at first but it quickly became too sweet for me.

Excellent, happy fruity gourmand. These strawberries aren't the tart refreshing variety found in, say, Miss Dior Cherie. Instead, think creamy and comforting, as in strawberry pudding. Cozy and mellow, but not monotonous or overly sweet. Delicious dry-down, as well.
02/02/09 07:08:31
This scent is very sweet, but I wouldn't consider it romantic, at least not on my skin. It kind of makes me smell like a cupcake - a very fragrant cupcake. Not my favorite on me, but I'm sure that the right woman could pull it off perfectly.

I don't like the original Pleasures, so I didn't really want to give this fragrance a chance. However, after reading the reviews on here I decided to and am so glad I did! It is nothing like the original Pleasures, this scent is sweet, warm, and alluring. It smells like you're walking through a strawberry patch in the summer. As it drys down, I can imagine myself coming out of the patch to sit down on a checkered tablecloth and have a picnic with caramels. yum what a delicious scent! long lasting as well!

On my skin its light and cozy, specially the dry down.
The first impression its like smell strawberry gelatine on the stove :) ... after a while, very soft hint of flowers and marshmallows.
Its ok :) and "pink" in my opinion... not like a 'vie en rose' ... but like a pink little chicken or something similar yes hahaha
In other words: this one its tender like a pink teddy bear...
Could be a nice present for my niece :D

Its nice. But just nice. Its pretty and suits its name because it is a delightful smell. Its just not different or daring and lacks that 'oomph' you need in a perfume to convince you to actually buy it. You couldnt go wrong with it though; theres nothing actually wrong with it. Suitable for a first timer. Lovely scent.
12/20/08 15:51:04
You do not have a problem jr I tend to do the same with my very favorite scents. This is the Ultimate Gourmand scent I have ever smelled. I really liked it. I thought of cupcakes immediately. Will purchase this someday. I was shocked that a pleasures could smell so good considering I have not liked any of them before now. Way to go! This is a scent that actually makes me want to eat cupcakes.... Yummmmm

Don't know why, but tend to "save" this one. Treat it as very special and keep it in a special place like the fridge??? Do I need to talk to someone about this? I wore it to work one day and everyone waited until someone broke the ice and finally asked what I was wearing. When I told them "Pleasures Delight", they all nodded their heads in approval. One thought I was wearing Angel. Everyone had favorable comments. It's fun.

This one smells like a weaker version of Angel by Theiry Mugler. I maybe wrong but that's what I got when I first sniffed this on my wrist. I don't like angel at all but this one I do. It's much easier to wear and I don't get the gagging effect that angel gives me.
This perfume is absolutely delicious. You get the sweet warm caramel mixed in with some strawberry, ooooh I can go on and on. It's really sensual, deep warm and decadent. I've tried a few of Estee lauders fragrances and so far this one's my favorite.

i like this better that the original but i have to admit that its less unique and special, but sweet and warm, and can be worn easier
10/23/08 14:02:13
interesting who's copying who here, or is it coincidence that Estee Lauder's Pleasures Delight is the same just less strong version of La Perla 'Jaime'..they launched in the same year I think
10/20/08 12:30:39
Agree that if you want something original, don't get this, but if you want some sweet, gourmand scent, similar to/or better than Angel, or if you need comforting, girly scent, get this.
09/29/08 12:09:47
It's very sweet, fruity and delicious. It contains strawberry, what I like. So I love this one.
09/06/08 13:46:37
If you are looking for a subtle vanilla perfume, try this one. It's doesn't smell like the original pleasure at all. Although there's nothing original in it, it's still a beautiful perfume. You couldn't go wrong with this one.
