Estée Lauder Sensuous Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Annie Buzantian.

A truly divisive, love-it-or-hate-it scent. Sensuous Noir is a bold, dark rebel from Estee Lauder, packing a huge pine-patchouli punch. An evening showstopper that's unapologetically strong.

About

Sensuous Noir opens with a powerful, almost bracing hit of pine and peppery spices, quickly joined by the deep earthiness of patchouli. As it settles, a rich, resinous amber and benzoin blend emerges, softened by a touch of honeyed vanilla. The rose is subtly woven throughout, preventing it from veering too masculine, while the guaiac wood adds a pervasive warm, smoky depth.
