Eau Sensuelle

I would consider this more of an edt rather than a parfum. It is very delicate and sits close to the skin after a couple hours. Long lasting but soft. A leathery floral with a faint peach. It took me a few wears to differentiate between the notes. This fragrance is well blended...as it should be for the price. Luckily I got a great deal on a 2.5oz bottle, else I probably wouldn't have tried this. I must say it was not what I expected at first. Initially I was looking for a strong leather note that rivalled the suede opening of TF Violet Blonde. However this is not it. Here, the leather is quite noticeable but it delicately mingles with flowers and fruit. On the other hand, the florals are balanced. Not overpowering at all. Peachy sweet, not syrupy or sugary. The tartness rounds out the scent. It transitions a couple of times on my skin. A strong opening makes way for the faintly spicy gardenia leather aftermath, enveloped by tart peach and kissed with vanilla and patchouli. This BV flanker is correctly named. Light pink juice accentuated by the beautifully simplistic bottle. Sensual in all aspects. My only complaint is projection. I wish it was a bit more potent.

This is a must have in my opinion, if you want to smell different, classy, mature, and sophisticated. There aren't that many like it on the market To me, I pick up more fruit/flower/patchouli, and less leather, than the original Bottega Veneta, which is my signature scent. I can't tell what fruit/flower because everything is blended so smoothly TBH I was initially put off by this version, but I keep coming back to it. For me, there was something missing from the original EDP, that I found in this fragrance. I found the eau Sensual easier to wear in the warmer weather, and the scent has more presence than the original. It has a lightness/freshness to it, which I really need these days. Definitely not a safe blind buy, since it is not your typical sweet fruity/floral feminine girly fragrance, it is more for a mature, confident, rich woman (who I want to become)- fake it until you make it scent for me

This perfume is such a beautiful PEACH composition. I absolutely love peach as a singular note, however, like rose, it is often so polarizing in perfume. Either it is represented as prudishly astringent or tackily overripe: virgin or whore. BV's take on peach is elegant and refined, perfectly balanced between the strength of leather and the sensuousness of gardenia. A very rare feat, in my experience: well done! Unfortunately, its sillage and longevity leave much to be desired, so I'm not yet sure if it's quite worth a hefty $145 (Canadian). It looks as if other reviewers have issues with sillage as well. If they offered a smaller quantity at a cheaper price (e.g. roller ball) I would consider purchasing. Or perhaps an 'Intense' reformulation could correct this?

Just bought this as my initial impression of the regular version was too leathery and gasoline like Dior Fahrenheit. I thought this one was a bit softer. I love it on first spray but it honestly disappears in an hour. I try it again the next day with 4 sprays and within two hours even my husband says he doesn't think I'm wearing anything at all. So disappointing.

This is so good! it has one of my beloved flowers: gardenia but in a smooth-leathery way...and the Italian elegance is there, enveloping this fragrance. Very charming scent for day use...Perfect for Fall-Winter. it ́s already in my wish List!
