Scent Story
Senso begins with an effervescent mix of plum, peach and citrus—grapefruit, bergamot, and mandarin—interlaced with coriander for a piquant lift. Then the heart blossoms into lush tuberose, rose, orchid and white florals like ylang-ylang and orange blossom, softened by heliotrope and carnation. Finally, deep amber, vanilla, woods and spices—cedar, patchouli, cinnamon, musk, opoponax—add warmth and depth, turning the fragrance into an unforgettable, lingering trail.

Wearability & Lifestyle
Best worn in evening or special occasions, particularly in cooler weather seasons (fall, winter) when its richness can reveal itself fully. Works beautifully with elegant dresses or statement eveningwear; great for nights out, dinners, celebrations, even when you want to feel dramatic and glamorous. One or two sprays on clothes and pulse points go a long way.
