What does Sensuous Night smell like?

Sensuous Night opens with a bright rush of green apple, lemon and pineapple, sharp and juicy citrus that fades within the first while of wear. The heart is where the fragrance settles into its identity: blackcurrant, jasmine, rose and violet build a lush, slightly tart floral bouquet. The base is warm and grounding, with patchouli, amber, vanilla and cedarwood giving it a soft, powdery woody finish that lingers longest on skin. Overall it reads as a fruity-floral with a warm amber-woody base, suited to evening wear.

How does it develop through the day?

The first few minutes are all citrus, a sharp fruity burst that fades quickly. As the top notes settle, the floral heart takes over, with blackcurrant and rose leading and jasmine and violet filling in behind. Once the fragrance has fully dried down, the amber, vanilla and patchouli base takes the lead, a soft, warm finish that carries into the later hours of wear.

What season is it for?

Is it for men or women?

Sensuous Night is marketed as a women's fragrance, and the vote split backs that up decisively: 86% of voters call it female, with a further 9% leaning female. This is a fruity-floral built for women's wear.

What is it similar to?

Wearers reaching for a reference point often name Signorina Ribelle by Salvatore Ferragamo, another fruity-floral built around blackcurrant and rose. Sensuous Night shares its accords in the heart, wrapped in a warmer amber-vanilla-patchouli base.

Who it's for

Sensuous Night is a fruity-floral, easy to wear from spring through autumn and equally suited to daytime errands or an evening out. Its intimate-to-moderate sillage keeps it personal rather than overpowering, and with bright citrus top notes settling into a warm amber-vanilla-patchouli base, it holds its warmth well into the later hours of wear.
