Estée Lauder Sensuous is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Annie Buzantian. Sensuous opens with Jasmine, Magnolia, and Lily, settles into a heart of Woody, Amber, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Mandarin, Sandalwood, Pepper, and Honey. Estée Lauder's Sensuous carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

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is a divisive one: some adore its unique woody-honey vibe, finding it a comforting 'warm hug', whilst others find it outdated, chalky, or just 'meh'.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.

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.

About

Sensuous opens with a delicate floral whisper of jasmine, magnolia, and lily, quickly transitioning into a heart of warm, creamy woody notes balanced by a rich amber and ylang-ylang. The base unfurls with a subtle pepper spice, sweet white honey, and a smooth, grounding sandalwood, creating a skin-hugging warmth.
