Senora For Women

Senora chases Jean Paul Gaultier's Ma Dame, the loud, sparkly fruity-rose by Francis Kurkdjian. It opens bright and zingy with juicy orange and a sweet grenadine pop, that uplifting, refreshing burst the original is known for. The heart is all rose - bold, fresh and a touch synthetic in the original's signature way, sitting centre-stage. It dries down into a creamy musk warmed by virginia cedar, light and powdery. Owners comparing the two cite around 90% similarity. Where it diverges, Senora keeps the rose front and centre while the polished creamy-musk surround reads slightly simpler than the Gaultier. Longevity is moderate. A vivacious, sparkly spring-and-summer fruity-rose that captures the cheerful character at a budget price.
