The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010, Sensuous Parfum by Estée Lauder is crafted by perfumer Annie Buzantian. This Oriental Woody fragrance opens with a bright citrus note from mandarin orange and a subtle pepper spark before giving way to the floral heart of ylang-ylang, lily, jasmine, and magnolia. The composition then settles into an amber-rich base, enveloped in woodsy notes and white honey, creating a warm, sensual embrace that feels both intimate and luxurious.
Two sprays are enough — the mandarin and pepper top notes are vibrant but fleeting. The amber and honey base blooms over an hour, so it's best applied before you leave home or just before a meeting for full impact.
