I Tested All 4 of Harry Styles' Pleasing Perfumes, and This One Was My Undeniable Favorite

I've been a beauty editor for just under 10 years and a Harry Styles fan for even longer. (Cut to me circa 2012, blasting a well-worn One Direction CD in my car on the way to school). Despite this, I've never ventured into the world of Pleasing—Harry Styles's beauty and lifestyle brand. I know, I know. That makes me a bad fan and an even worse beauty editor. That's exactly why I sought to change it.

As a perfume-obsessed person, I thought the best way to introduce myself to Pleasing would be via its four original fragrances. I'd heard good things about them on the internet, but I'm picky about the scents I wear. (For years, I've stuck to a semi-strict rotation of go-to perfumes, including Phlur's Missing Person, Frédéric Malle's Portrait of a Lady, and The 7 Virtues' Coconut Sun). So, while I had high hopes, I wasn't automatically convinced that any of the four Pleasing perfumes would earn a coveted spot on my vanity.

Spoiler alert: They did earn a spot on my vanity. In fact, I was blown away by the brand's special scent profiles and the strong memories and emotions they evoked. These aren't just any old perfumes, and they certainly don't seem phoned in, the way other celebrity fragrances might. They're unique, intentional, and one of a kind. And there's one in particular that I can't stop wearing. It's currently causing all of my other favorites to collect dust. Ahead, find out which one it is.
