The Story
Senso Parfum de Toilette is a warm, spicy floral that feels like a secret whispered in a garden at dusk. Jacques Cavallier crafted this for the woman who loves depth without heaviness. The opening is a bright burst of mandarin and blackcurrant, leading to a heart of rose and jasmine, all resting on a base of sandalwood and vanilla. It's a hidden gem from the late 90s that deserves rediscovery.
