Spotlessly clean
I am normally not a fan of fragrances described as "clean", but Pleasures manages to avoid all of the pitfalls that those fragrances usually fall into. It's not soapy, it's not lemony, it's not one of those "blue" scents that end up in gel deodorant territory. It's just... fresh.
And green. Very green. There's a perfume ingredient called cis-3-hexenol, which smells exactly like cut grass. I don't know for certain if it's in the composition, or if it's a similar-smelling material, but Pleasures smells like it's opening with a massive dose of cis-3-hexenol. (To be clear, this is a good thing to me). After about ten to fifteen minutes it turns oddly minty, which is still nice, if unexpected.
An hour later it's imperceptible to anyone but me (and only if I'm trying particularly hard), smelling like I just washed myself with some very expensive soap. I do quite like the smell of this, especially in the opening, I just wish it stuck around for longer. But for the price it's not bad, and even I can admit there are times that call for something like this. You could do a lot worse.
