It really smells a freshly picked bouquet of flowers. It's refreshing and makes you feel comfortable under your skin :) It's perfect for summer time but on my skin, ıt becomes a little sour after a few hours but I like it very much and I spray it on my clothing in order to prevent that sour smell.

This was a gift. Sickeningly sweet and floral. Old lady's house.

This is one of those scents I love but I can’t wear. Maybe it is my chemistry but as much as I love it when fresh out from the bottle or on some other people, I can’t bear it on my skin. This scent is a real flower-bomb. Gorgeous, opulent, sunny and sweet in an almost cloying, sultry way. I like it so much but I can’t wear it. I get headache and nausea if I smell it for too long. Maybe the only way for me to wear it would be in homeopathic portions.

The intense pleasure that this fragrance brings to me, i have no words hahaha is so different from the original pleausres intended for more mature woman! Is strong and floral! It was love at the first sniff with this one, so try it before buy it! Comments from everyone using this pleasure fragrance!!!! Of this line i do love more pleasures delight, i need to try the new pleasures in bloom, that seems to be more freshly floral type!

This is a more intense version of Pleasures (as the title indicates). To me it is the best version of Pleasures. The original is too thin and sheer, this one is at least interesting and has some cool notes. Top notes are peony, black currant, ylang-ylang and green lily; middle notes are lily, tiare flower, jasmine and moroccan rose; base notes are maple, vanilla and styrax.

This is another disapointment that i bought this season, I love pleasures, and this one is stronger and i think the scent is so nice, but the problem is the staying power, i have to keep reapplying it all day, and that's is a waste, no compliments on it either. so it with a couple other weak perfumes will sit on my dresser, never will waste my money again.

This perfume just NEVER, EVER failed to get me compliments both from men and women. It's funny because I own other scents that are supposed to be compliment getters, but I have never , ever experienced so many compliments as with PIntense.
I like this scent, but I kind of grew tired of it. It is just waaaaayyyyy to floral. The lilies are super strong. I can also detect a very present lilac note and just a tad of vanilla.
Definitely the ultimate spring scent and a must- have for (hardcore )flower lovers.
It's a really pretty scent.. If I had to choose a color for it, it would be lavender . Just not my style these days.
The staying power is excellent. Actually, it will follow you everywhere like a cloud, so I hope you enjoy wearing it ;P

There are no words for how much I enjoy this fragrance. I used up my first bottle when I was a freshman in college, and recently thought to repurchase it (I'm 23 now). Pleasures Intense just smells like fluorescent pink and purple to me...super feminine, super fun, but sophisticated enough to not seem out of place, say, at a fancy dinner party. I also like it because not many people know about it or wear it. Be forewarned: Although this scent is incredibly easy to like, you probably won't be able to live with it unless you are a quote "floral person" because the lily and lilac are STRONG.

mmmm this is a very pretty floral. It smells like honeysuckle and lilacs to me. It is pretty strong and sharp when first sprayed, but after a bit it mellows into a very feminine elegant smell that reminds me of a sunny spring morning.

Pleasures Intense is a strong floral fragrance. I like it a lot. I should mention that I normally avoid strong fragrances and prefer lighter ones but this one is an exception. For some reason I really like this one despite the fact that it's pretty strong. Most strong fragrances are a bit "old lady fragrance" but this one is fresher and not as heavy.

The lasting power is pretty good. I wouldn't wear this to school, when I want a lighter fragrance I choose the original Pleasures over this one. The two are completely different, though they are both floral-based But for evening wear Pleasures Intense is a wonderful fragrance. I like the pink bottle too!
I'd definitely repurchase!

I got this as a gift a couple years ago. I wore it a lot. I manage to have about a third of it left. I just went to smell it again, just now, and Im not a fan. I dont know what kind of turn my taste of scents went but in comparison with E.L. Pleasures - this is very strong. Stays for a long time from what I remember. Im considering putting what I have left into a swap.

This smells to me just like the discontinued Laura Ashley No 1. Which is nothing short of fantastic -- by far one of my favorite scents of all time. First sprayed it on in Edinburgh, then walked around with it on all day. Decided I loved it, bought it at the Duty Free on the way home.

I've been wearing this fragrance for the last 5 years and I still love it. I'm getting bored with it since it's been so long but it's always my "backup" fragrance because I can wear it anywhere and it's appropriate. Its very floral and very powdery; it always reminds me of a really girly, pink powder room every time I spray it. I get many compliments from women with this fragrance alone, but when I wear this parfume layered with Victoria Secret's "Love Spell" body spray, I tend to get more compliments from men; they love the mixture of the two. I've also had one bottle this entire time and I'm still not even HALFWAY through it, so that tells you how long this stuff lasts. It's a very strong parfum so I only dab it on my "pulse" points...I rarely spray it all over, and when I do I spray it in the air and walk through it. Not much has to be used to have a lasting affect. Worth every penny!

for me, this is a strong floral. not something i'd typically go for, but my grandmother bought it for my bday a couple years ago.....

interestingly enough, i get the most compliments with this fragrance, despite it not beings my favorite, strangers, coworkers, family members all love this on me. for that reason, i'd probably buy it again.

i find this way tooo strong on me in warm weather. it makes my head hurt and i want to wash it off, so i use it sparingly in the fall and winter. i'm not a fan of its top notes, but it wears down to something mysterious and pretty on me.

A bunch of purple floxes and pink lilies. Beautiful, narcotic scent of night blooming flowers.

I used to work at an Estee Lauder counter about 4 years ago when this scent was fairly new. It smelled so good then and still smells good now! It is a bright floral that screams the shade "pink"! It is a nice pick-me-up scent and is wonderful for spring and summer. It is also very different from the original Pleasures, which imo kinda stinks. The men's Pleasures smells okay, but the orginal women's is not good. Pleasures Intense is so much better than that scent and is totally different.

This is a very floral scent. When I put it on i feel like i'm in a flower shop. Yes, it s strong so one spray for me is enough. The scent doesnt fade into a some sort of ugly scent like other frangrances I've tried on. And it actually lasts for the day and is very pleasant for the fall.

I smell two estee lauder's perfume at the counter: Pleasures Intense and Pleasures Delight. Actually, I like both. But it is Intense that captured my sense best.

For me, the scent is quite unique. None like I ever smell before. It's smell sexy but not overpowering. Not too girly and not too mature either.

Too bad that it use Pleasure's name. For me, it doesn't sound like Pleasure at all. And I'm quite bored with the bottle.

I really like it, but I have to think it again and again before making any decision. It's quite expensive for my poor wallet.

Fragrance Type: Lush Floral

Top Notes: Luminous Green Lily, Le Charme Peony
Middle Notes: Velvety Moroccan Rose, silky Pink Tiger Lily, Jasmine
Base Notes: Maple Wood and Benzoin crystals with a spicy touch of Vanilla
