Estée Lauder Pleasures Flower Eau de Parfum Spray: Review

Disclaimer: Product featured was provided for review.
Earlier this year, Estée Lauder launched a special limited edition Pleasures perfume called the Pleasures Flower Eau de Parfum Spray ($62 USD for 60ml or $85 USD for 100ml); it is a springy fresh addition to the Pleasures fragrance family and it is perfect for the warmer weather to come.

Estée Lauder's Inspiration:
Welcome to a new attitude—carefree and sparkling with personality. The free-spirited Flower girl emerges with the first signs of spring. The brightness of the season shines through her. She’s a breath of fresh air. Genuine, natural and open to every pleasure. Spontaneous and live-for-the-moment, she’s original, creative and forever young.

Bottle Design:
Pleasure Flower comes in the classic rounded shaped bottle (like all other Pleasure scents). The bottle has pop art style dots painted in a pattern resembling a flower. The design is super adorable and suits the scent quite well.

Top Notes: Bergamot, Neroli, Mandarin, Cassis Buds, Leafy Green
Middle Notes: Peony, Rose, Muguet, Jasmine, Coconut Water
Base Notes: Ambrox, Vetiver

Upon first whiff Pleasures Flower is very citrus-y. The citrus is not the tangy kind, it's rather sweet but still refreshing. The floral notes comes through quickly after the hit of citrus and so you get a very nice fruity-floral mix. The scent fades within a few hours but because the it's so delicious, you'll definitely want to re-spray again and again.

Overall:
This is a very playful and fresh scent for both the Spring and Summer. If you a big fan of the original Pleasures, you will find that Pleasure Flower is a quite different scent. I think the original Pleasures is good for year round but Flower definitely conjures up the feelings of warm weather and relaxing bike rides around the seawall.

Availability:
Estée Lauder fragrances are available at The Bay, Sears, and Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada.
