The dry down is sublime.

My personal favourite is always this one n i do agree with some of you here that pleasures eau fraiche smells better than its elder sister,pleasures edp.
I find this one comparatively lighter n fresher.it is a happy n uplifting fragrance yet still has its bubbly-ness n carefree spirited kinda perfume.i prefer as it has that modesty sense.it’s floral compositions are not as plenty/massive as in pleasures edp.indeed it is a perfect essences of 3 types of florals : jasmine,lily n peony not not forgetting the “spice-up-your life” like scent of pink pepper.
Regarding its longevity or sillage yes i do agree that it belongs to weak to moderate level.but anyway it actually depends on your skin chemistry basically.pleasures eau fraiche stays quite good.4 hours approximately on skin n even after i have washed my clothes,the scent is still there.

Interesting. This Pleasures flanker is all about peony and pepper! It also has a marked green note–similar to grass. Actually that aspect reminds me a bit of Floris Lily of the Valley!
Pleasures Eau Fraîche is clean and green and fresh and perfect for the twenty-first-century open office. Somehow peony always smells somewhat bureaucratic too me. It’s not at all offensive, but it lacks the voluptuousness of other commonly used flowers in perfumery.
A safe choice.

Just when I though I’ve finally found that perfect pivoine, she pulled a Keyser Söze on me, “And poof. Just like that, (s)he’s gone”…
Energetic, almost effervescent pink peony opening, followed by an all too quick drydown of a peony gone very, very shy, with a slight touch of pepper, and that’s about it. No lily, no jasmine.
From start to finish, about 30 minutes, then it’s a skinscent with zero projection, kind of like washing one’s hands with a floral scented soap. Very nice but it just doesn’t last at all on me.
Lovely spring scent with a lot of potential. I would buy a bottle but then I’d have to reapply heavily every 20 – 30 minutes…
Longevity – poor.
Sillage – soft.

Drydown is perfect. Clean and fresh lily smell.
Lionne – :
Very floral but not overdone like Chloe Love, EL Beautiful or YSL Paris. Incredibly streamlined and office appropriate. Reminds me quite a bit of Marc Jacob Daisy, Clinique Happy and Sunflowers. It smells very much like a ’90’s floral.
I love peony and this is a cold peony. Not much warmth in this perfume.
There are so many other fresh, clean and supremely non-offensive scents out there but this is a good one. Stands among Comme Une Evidence, another nice clean, fresh, cold perfume.
My favourite florals are probably 24 Faubourg, Hermes Caleche, See by Chloe, L’instant de Guerlain… I guess I am more addicted to amber and rose than I thought.

Surprisingly pleasurable. Fresh floral, mild. I don’t detect any jasmine tbh. To my weird nose it’s about pears, peonies, lavender and musk. Especially the drydown is a clean musk skin scent. Forgive me my silliness.

I sprayed a sample of this today and I find it very close to the original Pleasures. Maybe it’s a bit lighter, because I don’t get the headache I got from the original immediatly – but to me it seems very close to the original scent.
Mewbs488Unlogrere – :
This is one of my husband’s favorites. It smells a lot like the original Pleasures, but maybe a little more intense and seems to last longer on my skin. Very fresh and feminine floral.
ромыч_99 – :
A nice and fresh perfume that is perfect for spring. The peony dominates without being too overpowering, and is supported in the background by pepper and jasmine. It radiates fairly well, but does not seem to have a long staying power; it was barely detectable on my skin after an hour.
Gokka – :
A fantastic perfume for the hot summmer. This smells very similar to the original Pleasures, so I don’t think you necessarily need to have both. This is a cool, crisp floral, with peony as the main note. It does smell like there is lily of the valley in this, even though its not listed. Very inoffensive, pretty, and a good mood scent.
empirepass – :
If you’re a peony fan, this is a frag for you.
On me, this opens with a whole lot of pepper, then settles into a nearly peony soliflora. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I really don’t get a STRONG lily note, just subtle. It smells fairly soapy on me, also.
A polite and day-friendly fragrance; clean, lady-like and respectable. No hint of skank here. I could even see this as a fragrance for a bride having a pretty, pastel-themed wedding.
It’s not my style, as it doesn’t feel ‘whimsical’ enough for me, also, it seems to make my poor husband sneeze. I have to wash it off. 🙁

I like this one so much better than the original Pleasures. The original Pleasures knocks you over with its strength and its pepper note. The Eau Fraiche is much more well-balanced, soft, and not so in-your-face aggressive. It’s such a perfect fresh scent for warm weather. It’s not sweet or cloying- it’s really the freshest lightest floral. Totally unoffensive, and the little hint of spicy pink pepper makes it stand out from all the other run-of-the-mill florals out there. This one is definitely going to be my go-to summer fragrance.
nbelkov – :
Such a light and flowery scent! I really like it, but my skin tends to hate the pink pepper. So the first 15 minutes is just wonderful Peony with a bit of Lily, but after a while becomes too peppery on me 🙁 It’s not my cup of tea, but it smells really nice.
Ragsabosove – :
Very light clean perfume I love it

I feel bad writing a bad review of Pleasures EF. I really love a lot of EL perfumes, but they do crank out a few duds here and there.
This is the ultimate “tester” perfume…it smells OK for a few minutes, enough time to say “I’ll take the 30 ml” if you’re in a perfume-buying mood, and then disintegrates into nothingness…really it just smells like perfumey soapy indistinguisable floral blahness.
Lasts about 4 hours–actually the 2nd time I wore my sample I really disliked it, but luckily it doesn’t last long or wear too strong.
I had the original Pleasures in the 90’s and do remember a crisp green ness, a sharp stainless steel soapy note, and some white flowers. It was nice. I would just get the original Pleasures.
HApallanue – :
Pleasures was lots of white flowers, crisp and a bit sharp, Eau Fraiche is a softer version, you can still smell the original but it is overall more rounded, nicer in my views if you are not big on white florals. Easy to wear, it woud be a perfect gift, unfortunately, it’s niceness turns a bit boring and predictable. Still, a pleasant spring scent.
Clurryrooli – :
This one is a light, crisp, sparkling version of the original Pleasures. No, it won’t last long. It is an eau de toilette. But it is certainly something to enjoy on a warm summer day, when the original might be too heavy. Accessorized with the body products in the Pleasures line, Eau Fraiche is a cool breeze on a sultry summer day, that could sparkle into the night. I’m really not a fan of any of the Estee Lauder fragrances. I find them dated, cloying and downright old lady-ish for the most part. But Pleasures Eau Fraiche is definitely a modern step in the right direction.

very nice soft, clean light floral scent with a touch of powder. I think this is great, nothing outstanding but very very nice, I will buy but only if it shows up at a discount store like Marshalls, Tj Maxx or Ross, then its on! LOL
qbs019JeomiWogkig – :
I quite liked the light, floral scent in the bottle. On the skin it reacted beautifully from beginning to end. First there were the fresh green and white floral notes. No soapy overtones. Then, I was thrilled to discover, it settled to a beautiful lilac smell that was perfectly lovely and subtle! I tried to look up the notes and there seems to be conflicting information out there; some say there is lilac and some don’t mention it. No matter what they say, I think it is worth buying and enjoying. It is truly Spring in a bottle and the name is very apropos.

Pleasures Eau Fraiche is very similar to the original, although dull and wimpy.
I guess men have the sport flanker category, while women have eau fraiche. Sigh.
2/5

This smells very fresh, white floral, its a simple fragrance but sophisticated enough to be an evening one, early summer evening i think 🙂 it reminds me of kim kardashians original perfume, but done in a better way. it does smell a little too soapy though, but thats the only thing i mind about it, over all pretty good, about 3 out of 5 (stars).
nodarigori – :
Yup, I don’t find it anything different either. Filled with floral freshness, and ignore that pink pepper because it does not do anything here. Very uncomplicated, straight-forward perfume. Cute bottle and color combination tho.
