What does Sensuous Nude smell like?
The opening is fresh yet spicy, with Sicilian bergamot, mandarin orange, black pepper and pink pepper. At the heart, jasmine, lily of the valley, honey and coconut water bring a floral, fruity sweetness. The base of vanilla, heliotrope, sandalwood and musk settles into a powdery, gourmand, lightly woody softness.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with summer not far behind, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. It reads clearly feminine. Chopard Cašmir and Penhaligon's Cornubia have a close profile.
