I'm very much a fragrance addict - I have dozens of bottles of cologne and perfume that I mix or save for certain occasions. Part of why I like to mix my scents is because I'm rarely 100% satisfied. Perfume these days tend to be either too sugary and sweet or too old-fashioned and flowery. Adding a musky cologne can tone down an overbearing perfume and, alternatively, a hint of sweet perfume can make a cologne less intimidating.

The reason that I have chosen to give 'Sensuelle' 5 stars is because I feel like it is pretty much perfect as is. There is a brooding darkness that lingers just underneath the floral overtones that is the perfect combination of naughty and nice. I like that they describe the blackcurrant as 'tart' because there are some notes of bitter grapes. The floral aspects are indeed sensual, but in a youthful modern way. It's very much a strong, powerful businesswoman fragrance. It's not something I would wear to the club. It smells too important for leisure and frivolities.

My only warning is that you should not overuse this fragrance. A little goes a LONG way. Too much will have a dizzying effect that will be counterproductive to the mystique that makes it work so well. The bottle is simplistic, but perfect. This fragrance doesn't have a gimmick or celebrity sponsor, it's just classy. The dark, purplish blue color of the bottle is an excellent representation of the scent in a hue.

OVERALL: To be honest, some of Lacoste's fragrances have left me underwhelmed. This one, however, is worth trying. It doesn't try to pander to a youthful audience but it doesn't repeat the same problems of 99% of the floral fragrances that are on the market. I love the darkness mixed with sweetness. Highly recommended!!
