Onde Sensuelle

This is a really difficult scent to describe. Framorena did an incredible job of describing the feeling of Onde Sensuelle. It is oddly fresh, fresh but with all of these mysterious qualities that you can't really pinpoint and that give it more heft and warmth. It is oddly delightful! But it does have a carefree sexiness to it and it does seem more suitable for women but I really feel it could be unisex. I absolutely LOVE the grapefruit note in this and the way it is mixed with notes that usually do not go with grapefruit! This may be my grapefruit perfume holy grail. This is a very original creation and smells like nothing else I have ever tried. But do not expect any sort of classic oud type scent because this isn't it. This smells like a vacation to a warm semi exotic location in the middle of winter if that makes any sense. It isn't summery but has a summer in winter kind of vibe going on. As usual, a very unique and slightly bizarre combination from Duchaufour that somehow works and screams L'Artisan.

Great scent for you if: you like Duchaufour's sense of perception you like Duchaufour's Seville A l'Aube you like sharp grapefruit scent and ginger with cardamom It startles you exactly like Seville does, - loud, harmonically dissonant, it's literally grabs you by neck and pulls your head and senses towards itself. It's often like that with Duchaufour, isn't?. Then it melts, lingers, self-contradictory,yet warm and spicy in heart. That bitter juiciness of grapefruit turns more into juniper with saffron and amber, but base is musky big time. Very nice when you are moving, walking, turning, I feel like a fox, playing with my own tail, while wearing it. Entertaining and definitely winter holidays feel in it. Not sure about sensuality, more like energetic overdose, just what I personally need from January to March. Don't get ppl's complains on longevity, at least 10 hours on me, which for Artisans is very potent.

Onde Sensuelle is the weirdest almost-gourmand. It makes my mouth water. Delicious, freshly sliced ginger, juicy grapefruit, tart juniper berries, and just a touch of saffron on the side. Here and there, I can catch a brush of cardamom and lime. I second the sensation of warm/cool conflict in Onde Sensuelle. The ginger is aggressively spicy, as is the saffron, and the berry, lime, and grapefruit offer a refreshing, cooling sensation. The effect is of a light-hearted, scintillating citrus-spice scent, that is never Christmas-y or dull. The overall scent is quite lively and charismatic. I cannot help but feel happy wearing Onde Sensuelle. I think it works wonderfully as a high-heat scent, and it is far more interesting that your standard citrus and spice perfume. It reminds me of a more perfumed and animated version of Olympic Orchids Gujarat, which is a more literal spicy food and fruit scent.

IT. Desiderio insaziabile, sembra di nascere sotto la pelle e poi, questa ondata di sensualità ti solleva alle stelle. Questo profumo è pieno di contrasti. Caldo e speziato bouquet di zenzero, zafferano e cumino. Freschezza di bacche di ginepro e cardamomo... Onde Sensuelle crea una aria di passione e di fantasia, del desiderio di raggiungere l'obiettivo. EN. Insatiable desire, it seems to be born under the skin and then this wave of sensuality lifts you to the stars. This perfume is full of contrasts. Hot and spicy bouquet of ginger, saffron and cumin. Freshness of juniper berries and cardamom... Onde Sensuelle creates air of passion and imagination, the desire to achieve the goal.

If there is such a thing as "love at first sniff", then this scent just knocked me silly with love! It only took me about five minutes after first application to complete my online purchase of a full bottle. I am normally not an impulse buyer, but this is one of those " I've got to have a BIG bottle of this! " perfumes. I am terrible at picking out individual notes and apologize for that. But if PERFUME was a boy, then this PERFUME, Timbuktu by the same house AND the same nose, plus Mitsouko would all be "brothers by a different mother" in my view! Spicy done absotively right!!!
