What do reviewers say about Sensual Red and Exquise Tentation?
This one lives in the contradiction. It's powdery-floral and sweet without tipping into sunscreen territory, and the vanilla-to-cedar drydown earns its warmth instead of just arriving.Sensual Red
There's a version of vanilla that just sits there, sweet for the sake of it. Dorothée Piot chose differently. Praline and bitter almond give this something to say, nutty, almost edible.Exquise Tentation
