Have you worn Sensuous Nude?

  1. Arena

    It’s a very peculiar perfume, smelling of subtle, pleasant wood, like the scent of sharpening a pencil; it ends up becoming sweeter and muskier. It evokes childhood or a sweet, affectionate woman with children, sensitive and tender. It’s not meant to grab attention; it’s too subtle. I bought it recently and have only worn it once at home to enjoy before bed. I think it would be ideal for intimacy, since it’s not intrusive—you have to be very close to perceive and appreciate it. It also works well on hot days when strong scents are annoying. I wouldn’t buy it again due to the disappointing low projection, but I’ll use up these 100 ml and enjoy them.

  2. cnidaria

    I feel incredibly comfortable wearing this perfume; it’s like a second skin. I consider it perfect year-round: the coconut fits summer, but the sandalwood and sweet notes also work great in the cold. The coconut is noticeable from the start without being cloying, and the pepper gives it a spicy kick at the beginning that I love. Then it becomes sweeter with honey and more coconut; the musk is very soft. The base with vanilla, amber, and heliotrope is sweet but not gourmand. The sillage isn’t strong, but you can apply more without issue; it lasts forever on my skin.

  3. cnidaria

    I feel so comfortable in this perfume, like a second skin. Perfect for all year round: the coconut works great with summer and the sandalwood with the cold. At first, the coconut isn’t cloying; the peppers give it a slight spice, and I like the dry down. Then it becomes sweeter with the honey and coconut; the musk is gentle. The base with vanilla, amber, and heliotrope is sweet but not gourmand. The trail isn’t the best, but you can apply more; it lasts forever on my skin.

    It’s a soft and delicious aroma. It smells very much of coconut (which is why I associate it with summer), but it’s a refined coconut, nothing chemical or heavy. The sandalwood and honey add a lot of warmth and sensuality. The only downside is that it projects little. I never thought I’d wear it in any season other than summer, but Cnidaria’s recommendation encouraged me, and yes, it works just as well!

    Very peculiar; it smells of subtle, pleasant wood, like sharpening a pencil, and eventually turns sweet and powdery. It evokes childhood or a sweet, tender teacher. It’s not meant to grab attention; it’s too subtle. I wore it once at home to sleep. It could be ideal for making love because it’s not intrusive, or for very hot days. I wouldn’t buy it again due to low projection, but I’ll enjoy my 100 ml.

    Sensuous Nude was fantastic, unique, and inexplicably discontinued. What a shame, because it was perfect for feeling wrapped in warmth, sexy, and elegant all at once. It had a charm and personality that are now missing. Although after an hour it stays close to the skin, its longevity was notable.

  7. I finished the small bottle of Sensuous Nude and really liked it. I remember it as sweet and woody; the cedar stood out, which I don’t usually love, along with a citrus note I also dislike, but in the dry down, the honeyed white floral, coconut, and musk made for an elegant and refined perfume.

    Soft and delicious aroma. Smells a lot of fine coconut, nothing chemical or heavy; perfect for summer. The sandalwood and honey add warmth and sensuality. The only downside is that it projects little, but the recommendation encouraged me to use it in other seasons, and it works just as well.

    Soft and woody with a hint of honey; it’s sweet, but on my skin the coconut disappears, leaving only vanilla. It lasts about an hour and a half—nothing spectacular, fading by five—but it’s very pleasant and discreet, ideal for anyone who can’t handle strong scents.

  10. Pleasant fragrance, long-lasting, with moderate sillage, suitable for all year round and any time of day. The honey, coconut, vanilla, and sandalwood make it warm and memorable. Comparable to good jeans: comfortable, fashionable, and essential.

  11. Creamy coconut with honey and vanilla. Super delicious! The coconut isn’t the artificial kind from flavorings; it’s more like virgin oil. It lasts hours on the skin, though it doesn’t project much.

    I like the scent, but the longevity is short; only people close by can smell it. Still, I recommend it for daytime use and switching to something else in the afternoon.

    A creamy nude and sensual scent… a delicate coconut mixed with honey and sandalwood that pleasantly surprised me, and now I can’t stop thinking about it.

    I really like it. At first, it smells of wood, then fresh notes like coconut and powdery herbs. A perfume I absolutely love.
