About
Sensuous by Estée Lauder is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women. Sensuous was launched in 2008. The nose behind this fragrance is Annie Buzantian. Top notes are Lily, Jasmine and Magnolia; middle notes are Woodsy Notes, Amber and Ylang-Ylang; base notes are Sandalwood, White Honey, Pepper and Mandarin Orange. The new fragrance by Estee Lauder – Sensuous, arrives in July 2008. This fragrance is moving the boundaries from already well known Estee Lauder floral notes towards opulent oriental woodsy-amber concept, which will praise the beauty and sensuality of women of all age. Sensuous is created in cooperation with the nose Annie Buzantian of Firmenich, which composed it of sensual lily notes, magnolia and jasmine petals in the top. The heart brings aromas of molten wood and amber, while the base introduces sandalwood, black pepper, juicy mandarin pulp and honey.The fragrance will be available as 30ml (1 fl.oz.), 50ml (1.7 fl.oz.) and 100 ml (3.4 fl.oz) EDP, and 15 ml (0.5 fl.oz.) pure perfume, with matching fragrant body care collection.The bottle draws attention with its simple, yet very elegant lines. It is made of heavy glass with waves, with rose-gold top and name imprinted in purple letters.This design was selected for several reasons, including the intention of the designers to make it in line with pervious Estee Lauder editions.The photographs were shot by Craig McDean. The ad faces for Sensuous will be Gwyneth Paltrow, Elizabeth Hurley, Carolyn Murphy and Hilary Rhoda.
