Coming Soon: Estée Lauder Sensuous

This July, Estée Lauder is stepping out of its comfort zone. Instead of launching another one of its traditional, romantic floral scents, the cosmetic giant is releasing a woodsy fragrance called Sensuous ($39.50/ounce).

Karyn Khoury, the perfumer who developed Sensuous, says that it fills a void in the Lauder fragrance lineup. "We wanted to reinvent woods for women," she told WWD. "The concept was to create a scent that evoked a molten river of woods." The fragrance will have top notes of ghost lily accord, magnolia, and jasmine petals; a heart of molten woods and amber; and a drydown of sandalwood, black pepper, juicy mandarin pulp and honey.

I'm definitely intrigued, especially because this blend is a departure from most of the Estée Lauder scents. Something new and risk taking? That's something to look forward to, in my book.

    Unusual... I'm not a fan of woodsy smells, though, so this would have to be particularly spectacular to get my attention. I'm more a fan of Pleasures Delight.

    I have to admit, I just don't know if I can see Estee Lauder pulling off sexy perfume without it coming off as smelling a little old ladyish. Then again, I desperately want to love perfumes like Fracas and they make me feel like a grandmother. I won't pass final judgment till I smell.
