Good but not great
I have mixed feelings about Sensuous. It's a pleasant, warm & woody skin scent. The pepper and honey accords are spot-on for current trends. However, the opening is so .... blah. I often have trouble with Estee Lauder florals, especially the white ones, and Sensuous is no exception. Thankfully, the florals subside in about 20 minutes and disappear in about 45 ... but still.
The pepper is warm in this fragrance, whereas it's a bit sharp in Sensuous Noir. I had Sensuous Noir on my wishlist but decided to go with Sensuous when I decided that Noir was really a one season scent. Prolly should have stuck with Noir, which doesn't seem to irritate my sensitivity to white florals, even if the pepper has a bit too much kick.
My overall assessment - Good but not great. Regardless, definitely worth sampling. Hopefully marks a turn in what we can see out of fragrances at EL. One could hope.
