Sensuous

Sensuous, created by Annie Buzantian for Estée Lauder in 2008, is a creamy floral with a warm, woody-amber character. Flowers lead, about half of people notice woods, and a minority mention spice, sweetness, amber and citrus.

Jasmine, magnolia and lily open with a soft, creamy and slightly lemony white-flower bouquet. The heart brings woodsy notes, amber and ylang-ylang, a warm, smooth and gently sweet core. The base combines white honey, pepper, mandarin orange and sandalwood, an unusual mix in which honey adds a golden sweetness, pepper a dry spark and sandalwood a creamy, molten woodiness.

Wearers are split between moderate and long-lasting wear, and the trail is mostly moderate. It is voted for autumn and winter and worn by day slightly more than at night. That suits office wear, dinners and cool-weather days, for anyone who likes a soft, warm and sensual floral wood.
