Lady Jicky above ...What an interesting observation. Lady Jicky above makes a comparable comment and I think you're both onto something. I believe it has to do with the weather and the intense muskiness that comes through their perfumes within the hour. Maybe it's a common thread because they do last extraordinarily long (and musks do last longest than anything else). <br /><br />I did not like the GP ads.

I think Pleasures suffers if a bit (if indeed it does) by its prim image as projected by the looks of the bottle and the print ads. It looks like church material when in fact it's less chaste than that.

It's respecting the customer and wanting them to live a bit with the product: it shows trust in the product itself. <br /><br />I think that they (EL) use powerful musks and they do use them by the bucketload.

(Paltrow is OK for Pure White Linen though; the feeling of a preppier existence and posh sailing). <br />I only tried the lotion and it smelled powerful; it was a good product.

By coincidence I wore it today, as I always do in the first days of spring. That green peppery opening is so vivid - perfect for spring. But the musky development annoyed me a tad, and I think that after years of wearing Pleasures, I'm finally moving on from it. I wore the heck out of after it launched. And it is a great fragrance; I have allannemarienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-20565811714837137172016-09-17T01:50:47.798+01:002016-09-17T01:50:47.798+01:00I remember the time it launched here....

I was in my local shopping center/ mall and the Lauder girls were going around giving out nice samples - you have to give it to Lauder - they do give samples ( cosmetic companies here are so mean here!) and I loved it at first spray but ..... after about a hour ... Oh sicky and it would not wash off.

I think I have a mini somewhere and will have to have a spritz. Never tried any of the gazillion flankers, though the Intense seems to be around still. I had completely forgotten the very pretty ads.<br /><br />-- LindalooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
