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.
