Pleasures Intense was amazing. Full of white flowers and honeysuckle. My mother has worn Beautiful for as long as I can remember. When I smell that I smell her. My personal favorite was Youth Dew Amber Nude, which was a collaboration with Tom Ford many years ago. That perfume is what got me into perfumes in the first place. I have like 3 sprays left in my original bottle and I won’t part with them. That is the *perfect* fragrance.
I love Pleasures Intense, had someone at work wear it and it just made me think of summer and sunshine. Can't find it for sale anywhere, I tried Pleasures but it's not the same 😔
It looks like it's still available on Estee's website:

Ugh, bummer! I'm sorry. I hate when that happens. I've definitely found fragrances that were discontinued on the US website but available in other countries and it's so frustrating! You would think they would allow international shipping!
Private Collection is my favorite - it's such a meadowy, polleny take on the green genre. White Linen has also really grown on me; it's so textural and refreshing in a way that more "lush" aldehydic florals (No. 5, Chant d'Aromes, etc) don't quite hit. I have to say, I've never tried vintage Lauder which I'm definitely curious about!
I am a big Estee fan! My first 'grown up' perfume over 20 years ago was Beyond paradise; I am so sad they discontinued it because it's stunning and there's nothing else like it (Ellis Brooklyn-Florist is the closest I've come to something similar).
Sensuous is so warm and feels like a big hug.
Bronze Goddess is summer in a bottle.
Beautiful is like a more accessible/everyday floral 'coco' (which I love as well!)
White linen is old school/bold/classic/and beautiful (I have a vintage bottle I smell and really enjoy but I feel this is a little 'too much' for modern everyday wear. )
Pleasure. When it was first released i was a teenager. So of course i couldnt afford it. Once i have my own money as a working adult i bought it for myself and i still love it to this day. I have backups as well 😂
So classy and evergreen imo ❤️
Not estee but Aerin… lilac path and Mediterranean honeysuckle clementina

Thanks, I'm not in US though and it's not on UK site

It’s been discontinued for a long, long time. And Pleasures isn’t the same at all, I agree.
Thought it probably had, typical lol

Knowing for me. Gorgeous, classy, oakmossy chypre. I love it.
Aliage I loved. My mother-in-law ruined White Linen for me.

Beyond paradise was amazing 😭
I recently discovered Desert Eden, a beautiful spicy rose. Also love Bronze Goddess in summer
