The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Roja Dove, Innuendo is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that balances bright citrus notes with warm powdery and woody accords. The composition opens with lemon verbena and orange, giving way to the heart of ylang-ylang and jasmine. It settles into a base of sandalwood, tonka bean, and musk, creating a scent that is both fresh and enveloping.
Apply two sprays to ensure the full range of notes develops on your skin. The bright citrus opening is prominent for about two hours before giving way to the warmer base notes. Best worn in cooler weather when its warmth feels most comforting.
