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!

To me this smells like ..... You spray your neck with a perfume, you put a scarf on.... After a while your scarf, very gently, starts smelling like you.... Just imagine the scarf is made of leather..... I am loving it!

reminds me of much cheaper ,but also very nice Ungaro l'amour fou. This fragrance is for brunettes after 30,elegant.gives luxurious vibe . does not last long

Leathery, elegant, sophisticated, smells wonderful. I get compliments everytime that I wear it. This version is more femenine that the original BV.

Uff, this beauty is a chameleon depending on the temperature! First time I sprayed at home, got leathery-peppery as top notes and a little bit of soft white florals notes to bring softness. Went for a walk when 55F and sunny, suddenly got better projection on the pepper-leathery notes. Peach? Didn’t notice any when it’s chilly or cold. Gave it a try when traveling, 80F and quite humid outside at night, you said peach? Oh now I see you! The leathery notes were there but this time, in the back, leaving place to the floral and fruity notes being on top. Very versatile, I am looking forward to spray some of this on my favorite leather jacket for fall days, and wear this for spring/summer night dates. Great quality, price is correct, a must have if you like classy and leathery-peppery notes. If you started with Hermès “Eau Poivrée” like me, I consider this a great upgrade to sophistication. _____ Projection, sillage, longevity : 6.5/10 Originality, presentation : 8.5/10 Quality, value : 9.5/10 8/10

Bought it from the BV store in Vienna, almost two years ago. I used up half of my 30ml bottle and then stopped because now I find it to be quite sweet and girly compared to what I've been in the mood for lately. Funny how some of the reviewers perceive it as masculine, this just stands to prove how subjective the experience really is. :) I will keep wearing Eau Sensuelle only on occasion or when nostalgia strikes, as, to me, this is the smell of fun times discovering Vienna. I stand by everything I said in my previous review, except I should mention that longevity is really exceptional. This perfume is a good entry point for those who enjoy a sweet, fruity patchouly but would like to step in and try something a bit more refined than what the market has to offer. I do recommend it!

Eau Sensuelle is a "perfumey" perfume. I like that about it, but it's one I seldom reach for. It smells like luxury. It's kind of cold and aloof, a little edgy. Very business-like. I enjoy the smell, just not exactly on myself. I mostly get gardenia, leather, patchouli (not the dirty kind, but the tame kind you find in likeable designer frags), and a nondescript fruitiness that's not totally ripe. It lasts hours on end. But beware that it is a perfume that can cut through a room if you're not careful. It has been known to give me a headache if I'm not in the right frame of mind or if I happen to spray 1 too many times. Has the same high pitch and along the same lines as Coco Mademoiselle. If you love the former you'll probably enjoy this as well.

I have been known to eat my words before, and I'll happily do it again for Bottega Veneta Eau Sensuelle. This was not an immediate love for me. At all. I HATED Eau Sensuelle the first few times I tried it. I was then in a rush one chilly evening, sprayed this on my pulse points by mistake, and left the house. I loved it. If worn in the right temperature and with the right set of mind, Eau Sensuelle is great. Clean, a little harsh and really fresh. More of a mature sexy than Lolita sexy, but that's all good. I still stand by what I said about pencil shavings in my first review, but it's a freshly showered kind of pencil shavings. I can deal with that.

I disliked the first one from this line, but I was amazed with this flanker. Initially, at least. It instantly reminded me of my Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, but without the pronounced patch, which usually ruins everything for me. I like Mademoiselle, I appreciate it but I just don't love it and I'm afraid I never will. This BV Eau Sensuelle seemed to be everything I like from Mademoiselle, minus what annoys me, but only for the first half an hour or so. Then it transforms into something rather nondescript. I've been testing it for days now, and my impression is always the same. After a great initial kick, it always ends up rather disappointing.

This has to be one of the most unique scents i've encountered lately. It's cold and warm at the same time. It screams masculinity, yet it is so high class feminine. It doesn't smell like the 'old school' powdery, patchouli frags, it is just classy, musky and daring. I tried all the perfumes from Bottega at their stand and this one made me come back and buy it. The next one was Knot, which again is a great acquisition and a safe blind :) Try it before hand, it is not the street fragrance LVEB or or any of them little black dresses out there ;)

this starts off with a sparkling peach note. this so reminds me of something i tried years ago, but i can't place it. i am getting a slight tresor vibe at first though, but this is sweeter. after about 5-10 minutes on my skin i get a very subtle suede note. it ends up being bottega veneta with a fairly strong sparkling peach note. it really does seem like tresor mixed with BV, but less complex on the tresor end...maybe a bit of tresor spilled on a leather glove. ;)

Soft and minimalistic suede. I don't get floral or fruity sweetness at all. I find Rogue a bit more interesting because it has Plum and something feminine. Eau Sensuelle has better Musk, however, more rounded and not soapy, but it is gender neutral and a bit boring. I need to investigate if I could layer it with something else. Otherwise it would be my choice when I am in a mood for minimalism. Dina_France (YouTube perfume reviews)

Eau Sensualle is sophisticated, and elegant white floral w/ a sensual and very dominate leather. I can see this as a year round perfume except in very hot weather. This is also very signature scent worthy. A slight sweetness from peach and vanilla combines w/ the gardenia and leather to tame down those very strong notes. It gives a bit of a flirty vibe to a perfume that could be to heavy w/ out those notes. I really like this one.

Not very sensual at all. The top note on me (and when sprayed on paper) is almost pure alcohol. After a few minutes it smells strongly of 80’s lipsticks and pencil shavings, which is why I’ll never come to like this one. After an hour there's still nothing more than lipstick and pencil shavings, but there's less funk, and the alcohol is gone.

This starts off with a really strong incense smell for me. In time, however, it becomes sweet and alluring. The original Bottega Veneta means business, while Eau Sensuelle is more like a nectar meant to trap unknowing victims. :) I don't mind the soft sillage and I also think it smells much better in the cold November air.

Somehow, this scent is both cool and cozy. I got mostly peach and vaguely powdery floral notes while the leather, patchouli, and vanilla stayed in the background. This basically vanished in cooler weather, though, so I would mostly recommend it for warmer days.
