Mon Guerlain Sensuelle

So mind you I have never owned the original Mon Guerlain. I bought Mon Exclusif first and loved it so much I wanted to try Mon Guerlain Sensuelle as a back up to see how close it is to ME knowing it's discontinued and I would love to have something similar to it I can repurchase. I must agree with Aria in the sense that they are almost identical. The only difference between the two is that with Mon Exclusif you get allot more Iris so it's a bit more powdery to me..a bit more toffee and butter..and more tonka.. but honestly they almost smell identical..the toffee and butter is questionable..yes they seem like they are both the same. The main factor is Mon Exclusif is a bit denser in sweetness and with Iris than Mon Guerlain Eau Sensuelle. Iris always can come off like a lipstick, make-up note that is thick and fuzzy in texture in the fragrance. Surprisingly, both of these Guerlain's when they dry down remind me a bit of Flowerbomb with the citrus, iris, vanilla floral combo..it has a certain freshness but with the Guerlainaid style. I do love ME more than MGS, but because they are so similar I wouldn't miss out on ME if I could no longer find it I would continue to buy MGS. If the reason that ME is denser than MGS is because of the butter and toffee notes on top of the Iris that would explain it, but as it dries down MGS is just a lighter, not as dense version of ME that becomes almost identical in scent. You get the citrus, iris, tonka, lavender, vanilla. And let me tell you I mixed ME with Mugler Angel Muse Edp..my goodness do those two layer well together..if you love both those fragrances try it! Mon Guerlain Sensuelle is a lighter closer to the skin fragrance. So is Mon Exclusif. But boy do I love them. They both have average longevity..4-6 hours and longer on skin with Mon Guerlain Sensuelle lasting probably an hour or so less because it's not as dense as Mon Exclusif. Why Guerlain stopped making ME is beyond me but I do want to try now either the original Mon Gueralin & the Intense version. I may just go with the original first because I hear it's allot more denser. When I have all of them I will let you know which would be the best to get out of them all but so far I'm really loving Mon Exclusif cause with that one sometimes I also just get that tonka note I smell from Tonka Imperial and it's really nice to smell that too. If you can't afford Mon Exclusif or have access to it you would be more than happy with Mon Gueralin Sensuelle because the differences are so minor and Sensuelle is more affordable.

This is so so good. It's a shame it's not sold in stores worldwide, really. It's sweeter and more comforting than the original MG. Some may find that the EDP Intense is the sweetest of them all, but if you also want that additional cosier feeling, the Sensuelle flanker could be your jam. Longevity is really good, I can still smell it on me after 10 hours. But the sillage is really low, it's actually the lowest of all the flankers. But that may be intentional, given the vibe that was marketed for this perfume. It is indeed really sensual and inviting. On me, the licorice and then the tonka bean shine for the longest time. Lavender remains, of course, easily perceptible, but it lets the licorice and the tonka bean have their moment in this one. The reassuring and motherly lavender watches it all from afar, while vanilla is even further and more discreet, merely whispering. The overall scent is slightly powdeyr, this is absolutely not a powder bomb. The balance is beautiful. I'd say it's a safe office scent. You could totally overspray this to amp up the projection/scent trail but I feel like the experience will be even more delightful for you and your loved ones while they'll be standing/sitting really close to you, or even hugging you. Smelling your perfume would be like a surprise privilege :) This layers amazingly with Kayali Vanilla 28. I feel like the vanilla in this Kayali perfume is really reminiscent of the famous Guerlain Vanilla. You really can't go wrong with this layering combo. You could also layer this with the OG Guerlain to amp up the tonka, licorice and sweetness.

Edit 11/10/20: This doesn't last! Such a shame. I really love the scent, but I get only a few short hours to enjoy it. Not impressive performance for an EDP. The EDT version lasts all day on my skin. Shoot! :( Wow wow wow. I just blind bought this and I could not be happier. I'll tell you how I ended up here: Almost a year ago, I blind-bought my first Guerlain fragrance, Mon Guerlain EDT. Since then, it's been my #1 reached for, star in any weather, all-occasion beauty. I lived in Southern Missouri then, which never got *too* cold even in winter, so MG EDT was truly an every day, year round pick for me. Fast forward to now, we recently moved North to Wisconsin and the temperatures are dipping fast. It's real fall, y'all. And winter is coming. I'm starting to crave those deeper, sweeter, comforting fragrances. I smelled MG EDP on a tester strip a few times in department stores, and once on my skin. It sadly came across too strong for me. I found Sensuelle in this database, and decided to purchase it just based on the reviews here. I am so glad I did! This one is IT. MG Sensuelle is creamy, dreamy, vanilla-y goodness. It does not knock one over with its presence. It sits close to the skin, enveloping the wearer in its sweet cloud of a scent. It's sugary, but not enough to give one a toothache. The herbal lavender keeps it grounded, but the star of the show is the vanilla. Guerlain really does vanilla better than any other. I'm in love.

Mon Guerlain Sensuelle, I can't describe how much I love this perfume! This was a blind buy and went from a strong like to love! I wanted a Mon Guerlain and decided to get this instead of the original because of the reviews and I didn't regret it, now that I also own the original Mon Guerlain I decided to write a review myself to compare it for people who can't test both. This is divine, beautiful, sophisticated and that's what I feel when I wear it! Yes there are many sweet vanilla fragrances out there but for me this stands out. It has the perfect balance of everything. Everyone compliments it be sure about that. Do I find it similar to the original version? Yes, they're 90%-95% similar. Do I regret buying both? Absolutely no! The only reason I'll wear the original more is because Sensuelle is hard to find and I don't want to finish my bottle. Sensuelle is creamier, more buttery, with the lavender a little toned down, original Mon Guerlain is more powdery and the lavender a little louder but in both vanilla is the most prominent note. One of my absolutely favorites!

Ugh, I blind bought on the reviews that said it smelled like Mon Exclusif. Not on me. Very loud lavender, very aromatic and quite masculine. None of that beautiful Guerlain vanilla. Skin chemistry is so weird. I'll put it away for now and try later, sometimes that works wonders. Unfortunately, I also blind bought Mon EdT. It's not here yet, but I think my nose is in for a world of hurt. On the flip side, I also bought Insolence and I'm doing a happy dance. I need to lay off Fragrantica for a while. My wallet is very hurt right now, lol. Edit 4/22/21 I gave it a week and I may have to eat a little crow. It it NOT Mon Exclusif, but it's as close as it will get to it in the Mon line. Putting it with a very sweet vanilla almond body cream makes this lovely. Without it, it is still very woody and masculine on me. But it's a definite like now with the addition. I don't send frags back, I make them work for me, lol. I'm way too possessive over perfumes for my own good.
