Estée Lauder Sensuous Stars is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Amandine Clerc-Marie. Sensuous Stars opens with Plum, settles into a heart of Lavender, and dries down to a base of Iris. Estée Lauder's Sensuous Stars carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive blend that some adore for its sophisticated candy-plum and powdery iris, while others find it too sweet, artificial, or simply an acquired taste. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, with a clear split between those who find it elegant and those who find it cloying.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Sensuous Stars opens with a candied sweetness, a tart and jammy plum note immediately vying for attention. This juicy fruitiness soon melts into a soft, powdery iris heart, reminiscent of classic cosmetics. Hints of lavender weave through, adding a clean, slightly aromatic contrast, before settling into an earthy orris base that grounds the composition with a touch of sophisticated nostalgia.
