Our verdict on Sensual Instinct: Acquired

This one's a proper Marmite scent - you'll either adore its sweet, mossy depth or recoil from its boozy, medicinal bite. Don't be swayed by the BR540 comparisons; this beast stands on its own, for better or worse.

About

Sensual Instinct opens with a surprising flash of red berries, quickly joined by a rich wave of coffee and sweet praline. This decadent gourmand core is then underpinned by a bold, earthy oakmoss, with subtle woody accents and a hint of amber warming the dry down. It's a sweet, humid, almost boozy concoction that keeps you guessing from start to finish.
