Sensuale

I think this is just lovely. the top notes are fresh but not harsh, then as it dries down the floral bouquet comes out & warms up. I love the combination of rose & jasmine, and the lemon keeps it from being too heavy. I don't think it's particularly long-lasting, but I don't mind that for the price. there is a 25ml purse spray available as well as the big bottle, so you can refresh easily. on the M&S website there are currently 3 reviews for this fragrance, two of which compare it to Chanel, one with the coment 'very alluring'. As I don't own Chanel Allure I've got no idea if they smell similar at all, but some of the notes are in common (and indeed, the bottle shape & lettering are similar). I think this would be a very nice scent for more summery weather.

After reading the reviews on here I decided to test for myself ,and so first sprayed one wrist with my own Allure EDP then popped along to marks and spencer,sprayed my other wrist and went on a walk about the shop for 10-15mins.To my delight,when I smelt each wrist they were soooo similar!! unbelievable I have been spending sooo much on Allure.I am converted!! Even once I`d got home and it had settled, the similarity was very apparant. Allure is indeed a deeper scent and You do need to use a little more of the sensuale,but at such a low price its a small price to pay-literally

This is a good perfume for everyday wear; it's affordable, feminine and stays closer to skin. I love the fresh start at the beginning. But on the down side, IMO Sensuale does not have a great projection or longevity.

I have had confirmation from M&S that this scent has been discontinued...

Sensuale is a bottle of Allure flavoured scented water. The 'Allure like smell' lingers around for 15 seconds after spraying and is gone without a trace...

Since finding out about M&S's naughty little perfume-duping secret I have concluded that: Isis = L'eau de Issey Infusion = Hypnose Azure Breeze = Light Blue (but more fizzy sherbet) True Red = Deep Red Butterfly = Daisy (not a great dupe, but close) Blush = Touch of Pink (with a touch of something else..) ....you get the picture! Sensuale is indeed based on Chanel Allure...but it is not that similar to my nose. Sensuale is a warm vanilla-jasmine with a rosey hue & a creamy character softened by musk. Very feminine, very pretty but if it was supposed to be Allure it had the life sucked out of it. Imagine walking down the street & you see a beautiful woman walking in front of you....& then she turns round & you notice she is in fact a he/an old tart/your brother....that's what it's like with this dupe. You've got to ask yourself: on a "cheap" day/at a hazy distance/if I paid less....would I really care?

I picked this up for £6 at M&S outlet at the weekend. It's absolutely gorgeous! The citrus blends beautifully with the rose & jasmine to create a heavenly fresh, soft creamy blend which is absolute perfection to my nose! Ive read that this is a dupe of Chanel Allure. I never tried that before but i didnt like any other Chanel scents and have always been a die hard Dior fan. But if this is a dupe for Allure then i want Allure and i want it now!!! So much so, that i requested it for my Valentine's present as a blind buy! If you dont want to splash out on Chanel then i would say this is completely gorgeous & i will not be wasting it particularly as it's discontinued now. One of the most beautifully blended scents i ever tried- for next to nothing! What more do you want?!

A beautiful fragrance- but doesn't last very long. Very soft, round and feminine.
