What does Sensuous (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter and spring, with summer chosen less often. Daily wear, leisure and business come up most, though evening and night out are not far behind. Most voters read it as feminine.

The top is floral, with magnolia, ylang-ylang, jasmine and lily. Amber and a woody note sit in the heart, and the base of sandalwood, black pepper, mandarin orange nectar and honey warms and sweetens it. The overall impression is powdery, woody and slightly oriental.
