18 Sensual

Golden Pear, Jasmine & Lily-of-the-Valley... Inspired by J'Adore Dior with good approximation and performance, this beauty is fairly linear and overall I get a sweeter lily-of-the-valley scent rounded out by pear- & jasmine, but there are some faint citrus facets in the opening, rosy facets in the heart, and a musky vanilla-woods support. There is a sweet shampoo vibe here. This doesn't have the tuberose present in J'Adore, but there is a faint creaminess from the vanilla-bean. Has average or slightly above average performance, that improves with dark storage after first sprays. Contrast to J'Adore Dior: This is inspired by J'Adore with good approximation overall as well as with lily-of-the-valley, pear & jasmine and shampoo vibe in the background. J'Adore is a little more complex, has a more forward tuberose, and outperforms. Scent profile is most similar to J'Adore Extrait, but performance-wise this is more similar to J'Adore EDT. Contrast to 5th Avenue Elizabeth Arden: These are different, but there are similarities in the overall vibe, as well as with lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, fruits, rose & musk. The fruity aspects are more forward in 18 Sensual, while a yellow-floral facet is more forward in 5th Avenue. I don't get the shampoo vibe in 5th Avenue that I get in 18 Sensual. Roughly equivalent performance. Contrast to Curious Britney Spears: These are different, but there is an overall similar vibe with dewy, floral-pear. Curious has a forward magnolia note, that's not present in 18 Sensual. 18 Sensual is closer to J'Adore Dior. Roughly equivalent performance. Overall: beautiful, timeless scent profile with average or slightly above average performance for a light summer wearing experience. This could be worn year round, but I'm more likely to reach for it in summer. Enjoy!

got it for my birthday and instanly fell in love i asked "you remind me of???" j'adore !! i got home compared them both are so yummy! :)

Wearing this in the 30°C heat today, I'm outside in the sun and I smell divine!!!

Wow, "Perry Elis Sensual is definitely one of the heavy hitters in terms of sillage. That tempered, slightly spicy sweet green goes down to the last drop. There is an observable citrus accord which wends its way into that bright green and the fruits meld it all together to make it the awesome scent it is. "Sensual 18" is not for girls! The rose note is missing to me though and I really appreciate rose accords. Sis bought this one for her birthday, so I am taking a spritz to write this review. Not my signature but a worthy buy for your fragrance arsenal. Something in it (probably the brightness) reminds me of "Bora Bora" or yes..."J'adore" Another well composed scent from P.E.

Heavy on the lily and otherwise fruit and white floral. Fresh and clean scent that's good for hot summer days. Not sensual in my opinion and not very sweet considering the fruit. It's a pleasant and pretty standard freshie. I got it on the $20 at SDM so the price was fine.
