About

Sensual Dream opens with a vibrant, juicy burst of nectarine and delicate apple blossom, quickly settling into a lush heart of creamy tuberose and exotic ylang-ylang, given a subtle kick by pimiento. The base is a smooth, rich blend of vanilla and tonka, fused with earthy patchouli and vetiver, all softened by a gentle musk. There's a hint of benzoin and castoreum adding depth without resorting to overt animalics or heaviness, creating a beautifully rounded, long-lasting aroma.
