What do reviewers say about Exquise Tentation and 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
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
