Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sensuous EDP
Estee Lauder's Sensuous is a divisive one: some adore its unique woody-honey vibe, finding it a comforting 'warm hug', whilst others find it outdated, chalky, or just 'meh'. It's currently back in stock after a brief scare, but reports suggest it might not be the powerhouse it once was.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Right Lady Severe EDP
Right Lady Severe chases By Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad Extreme, holding onto the creamy white-floral bouquet of osmanthus, rose and tuberose with that milky warmth, but the dupe renders it flatter and skin-closer, missing the original's cocooning depth and refined, narcotic floral richness.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sensuous

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate sillage and warm, comforting accords make it a solid choice for office and casual wear, providing a subtle presence. Many consider it an 'office safe' scent given its clean, unobtrusive nature. However, it's generally considered too soft for an impact on dates or formal events, and definitely not suited for sport.

Occasions

Best For:
