Pleasures for Men (1997)
by Estée Lauder

The Nectarine note is nice, but it needs more herbal and spice notes and a robust sandalwood base, as well as some better citrus to flank the Nectarine accord. If any perfumers are out there, use this nectarine accord in a more masculine fragrance.

Smells like cheap detergent or like an old man's very cheap body spray. Synthetic smelling, dated, a true waste of money: you could do far better with your money if you threw them in the ocean. I really avoid this putrid scent. If I can call it a scent. It should be called " Disgust", "Groce" or "Vomit".

Cool Water's cloying, annoying kid brother.
(Oh, and he's wearing a corsage.)

Ick.

This is a scent my little sisters boyfriend wore sometime ago and, as he is aware of my interest in fragrances, he once handed me a bottle; asked me to spray it on my hand and give my opinion on it.

I remember saying something stupid like: “Hmm….this is really nice. “

Ouch.

If I would have been honest, I would’ve probably said something like : “WTF man!! You spent 35euros for this!! Can’t you see how pointless it smells? With that money you could have got a hundred times better and compelling juices. Do you really want to smell like some generic and cheap female fragrance?? Do you?!? Do you?!!? Do yoooouuu!!!!???? Goddammit man, I know cheap hair-sprays which smell better than this! Pleasures my a*s!”


Hmm…Sometimes it is good to lie a bit, I guess.

True, this scent is not going to set the world on fire but the beauty of it is in it's simplicty. Airy, sweet and uncomplicated it's the perfect scent for those days I need a bit of a pick-me-up. It's probably one of the most inoffensive scents I've ever tried. Highly recommended.

Boring! Synthetic smelling and very unoriginal. Smells girly and in all honesty,
pretty cheap. If you want a fragrance that's afraid to make a statement then this one's for you. For real fresh scents give me Chanel Platinum or Kiton anyday!
