A lush floral that feels like armfuls of blossoms fresh from a garden, Pleasures Intense opens with cool green lily and juicy cassis wrapped around a velvety peony glow. The heart turns voluptuous with Moroccan rose, pink tiger lily, and jasmine for an enveloping bouquet, then settles into a softly sensual trail where maple wood, benzoin, and vanilla add warmth while keeping the flowers radiant and luminous.

Story and Positioning
Created as the richer sister to the 1995 icon Pleasures, this flanker amplifies the floralcy with a creamier bouquet and a tender resinous base for evening sparkle or dressed-up days. It sits within Estée Lauder’s Pleasures family that branched into editions like Delight, Exotic, Bloom, and Aqua, and it will appeal if you love lily-focused florals in the orbit of scents such as Cartier Baiser Volé or Aerin Lilac Path.
Bottle and Design
A slender oval bottle lets a pink-tinted juice glow through clear glass, crowned by a smooth silver cap that feels pebble-like in the hand. The minimal curvature gives an elegant grip, and the tall profile presents neatly on a vanity while the rounded shoulders slide easily into a handbag organizer.
