    Soft and woody with a hint of honey; sweet, but on my skin the coconut disappears, leaving only vanilla. It lasts about an hour and a half, nothing spectacular, fading by five o’clock, yet it is very pleasant and discreet, ideal for those who cannot bear strong scents.

    Sensuous Nude was fantastic, unique and inexplicably discontinued. What a pity, as 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.

  3. I’ve finished the little bottle of Sensuous Nude and I liked it very much. I remember it as sweet and woody, with cedar standing out which I don’t love, and a citrus note I also dislike, but in the dry down the honeyed white floral, coconut and musk create an elegant and refined perfume.

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

  6. It’s a very peculiar perfume, smelling of subtle, pleasant wood, like the scent of sharpening a pencil; it becomes sweeter and muskier towards the end. It evokes childhood or a sweet, affectionate woman with children, sensitive and tender. It’s not for drawing 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, as it’s not intrusive; you have to be very close to perceive and appreciate it. It also serves well on very hot days when strong scents become bothersome. I wouldn’t buy it again due to the low projection that disappoints me, but I will use up these 100 ml and enjoy them.

  7. Very peculiar; it smells of subtle and pleasant wood, like sharpening a pencil, and eventually becomes sweet and talc-like. It evokes childhood or a sweet, gentle teacher. It is not meant to attract attention, it is too subtle. I used it once at home for sleeping. It could be ideal for making love as it is not intrusive, or for very hot days. I would not buy it again due to low projection, but I will enjoy my 100ml.

    I like it very much. At first it smells of wood, then fresh notes like coconut and talc-like herbs. A perfume I absolutely adore.

  9. 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 fine coconut, nothing chemical or heavy. The sandalwood and honey give it great warmth and sensuality. The only drawback is that it projects little. I never would have thought to use it in any season other than summer, but Cnidaria’s recommendation encouraged me, and yes, it works just as well!

  11. Creamy coconut with honey and vanilla. Super delicious! The coconut is not the artificial kind from flavourings but resembles virgin oil. It lasts hours on the skin although it does not project much.

  12. A pleasant fragrance, long-lasting with a medium trail, 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.

  13. I feel so comfortable in this perfume, like a second skin. Perfect for all year round: the coconut goes great with summer and the sandalwood with the cold. At the start the coconut is not cloying, the peppercorns make it slightly spicy, I like the dry down. Afterwards 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 is not the best but you can apply more, it lasts a very long time on my skin.

  14. I feel incredibly comfortable wearing this perfume; it’s like a second skin. I consider it perfect all year round: the coconut suits summer, but the sandalwood and sweet notes also work brilliantly 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. It then 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 trail isn’t strong, but you can apply more without issue; it lasts a long time on my skin.

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