About this item
For anyone willing to wait, Estee Lauder Sensuous Perfume pays off about an hour in, lily, jasmine and magnolia giving the top a bright, creamy white floralcy that gives little indication of where things are heading. Woodsy notes, amber and ylang ylang warm the centre considerably, adding weight and a golden, resinous glow. Sandalwood, white honey, pepper and mandarin orange finish underneath, the honey giving the base a soft stickiness that reads as skin rather than sugar. Placing mandarin in the base instead of the top is the interesting decision, letting a flicker of citrus surface late in the wear rather than as an obvious opening gesture. Best kept for active days that start early, Sensuous Perfume from Estee Lauder earns its place there as a citrus floral Eau de Parfum. There's real staying power behind Sensuous Perfume.
