Pleasures for Men
Pleasures for Men by Estée Lauder is a masculine-leaning eau de cologne from 1997 in the designer price tier. It opens with peach and ozonic notes, moves into pimento, coriander and ginger and dries down to sandalwood, ebony and oakmoss. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
- Ozonic Notes The smell of air before a storm. Sharp, clean, slightly electric.
Heart
- Pimento Allspice — clove, cinnamon and nutmeg at once. Hot and rounded.
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Ebony Dense, dry and dark. Wood with no sweetness to it.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
