What does Onde Sensuelle smell like?

It has moderate sillage and good longevity. Most voters pick fall, then spring, and it is worn for evenings and nights out as readily as for leisure. More voters call it feminine than masculine, though a good share see it the other way.

Saffron, cardamom and cumin form a spicy core. Juniper berry and ginger keep that core bright and sharp. The fresh, citrusy side carries a little fruit, the sweetness stays in the background, and a woody base holds it together.
