Collection

Sensual / skin scents

What makes a scent feel sensual

A sensual or skin scent is usually something close, warm or quietly musky — a fragrance that stays with the person wearing it. True human pheromones are not reliably bottled, so we make no pheromone claims, and we do not pretend a perfume can control attraction.

These ten scents, in this order, are the set for this collection. The groups below use official notes only. A profile sits under a heading only when those notes support it.

  1. Another 13 Eau de Parfum — Le Labo
  2. Musk Therapy — Initio Parfums Privés
  3. For Her Eau de Toilette — Narciso Rodriguez
  4. Black Opium Eau de Parfum — Yves Saint Laurent
