I rarely use a company's direct PR materials to profile a perfume but the PR from Estee Lauder's newest Sensuous, Nude - really nails this fragrance. The fragrance notes are outlined in detail and truly capture this incredible bouquet - which is feminine, sultry but not cloying, woody, warm and totally deserving of the name Sensuous Nude.
This is really one of the perfumes that ushers in a whole new era of sensual and feminine by fusing musk, woods, heliotrope and companion vanilla in a subtle way and enlivening it with some peppery and citrus notes to keep it from being too sweet. This is a summer evening or elegant soiree perfume - not exactly daily wear but a signature scent.
