Winter Woods: Scents & Scentibilities

The bottle is a little throwback and reminds me of a perfume bottle from the 1930s. It’s round and pink with flowing grooves on the back of the bottle and has a pink gold-colored hexagonal cap. As I love the 1930s, this isn’t a negative for me, but the bottle may feel old-fashioned to some.

Body lotion, shower cream, and Eau de Parfum, $28.50–$69.50, with additional products available for the holidays. Sensuous is widely available at most department stores, including Macy’s.

Parting Note: Perfume puts the finishing touch to elegance—a detail that subtly underscores the look, an invisible extra that completes a woman’s personality. Without it, there is something missing.—Gianni Versace

I definitely want to buy Sensuous. I've smelled it before and after reading your review it will be bought the next time I'm downtown. I also like the thirties and the bottle is really nice.
It feels good to write.
