Sensuous Nude Estēe Lauder 2011

...that all the fragrances I test in perfumeries or perfume departments of department stores smell much more luxurious than those from drugstores?
Is it because they are more expensive?
Is it their bottles that are designed more elegantly or elaborately?
Do the brand names dazzle like shiny gold?
Or is it simply that they actually smell more refined?
I don't know, but what I do know is that "Sensuous Nude" smells exquisitely elegant and wonderful.
Citrus notes are never a disturbance; from the very beginning, it has a spicy sweetness of peppery sandalwood, lily of the valley, and honey.
Later, vanilla clearly comes into play, along with a small, delicate hint of coconut.
In the end, a few truly delicious wood notes join in, but one question remains unanswered. Are they poking fun at us with the scent note "melted woods"? Or have I missed something?
