Senso Emanuel Ungaro for women

I already wrote a review, but here I am again to review the EDP, in the pink bottle (second formula).

Sometimes the EDP is completely different than the EDT.
In this case, they smell the same. But, as I hoped, the EDP lasts a lot longer and the faint fruity scent also lasts a lot longer.

I really like this one.

I also have the bath gel from the first formula (clear bottle). Still, I think the second formula is better.
The first formula doesn't have anything to do with the second formula. They both should have their separate page to evaluate.

I have the pink bottle (eau de toilette) and I love it. As the scent doens't last all day long I hope to be able to get my hands on an eau de Parfum and notice the difference. The bottle looks great as well. The pink bottle is playfull. The Ungaro de Ungaro is tres chique, completely different but also a great scent.

It's ok I guess. Very dated, late '80's style slightly stale fruity powdery scent, similar to Scassi, Tresor, Red, etc. The top smells just like grape juice to me and I can't differentiate any of the notes at all throughout it's life. I do pick out the cinnamon which for some reason sticks out like a sore thumb. It would seem that I don't care for cinnamon in my perfumes ie Apercu and White Diamonds.

I found no similarity whatsoever to Lalique's Flora Bella. FB is likable milky tea scent and this is definately not in that genre.

I'm not a fan and won't be wearing this one anytime soon.

WAUW!! Good to know Flora Bella is similar!! All those vintages can be pretty expensive like the original Urango for women, which resembles Joop! For women very much!
Love to have the original vintages, but for actual use the new ones are more handy I think! At least for the wallet!

I had the pre-reformulated Senso and I just loved it.

For all those nostalgic ladies, just to let you know that I have recently bought Lalique Flora Bella and I just cannot believe how close to Senso it is.
No mistery here, just look at the notes :-)

Both perfumes have mandarin and bergamot in the top notes, tuberose, carnation and orchid in the middle ones and musk and vanilla for the base.

If you loved the old Senso, you will definitely love Flora Bella, too, which is also a bit less aggressive than Senso.

But I agree, there were some good perfumes (and music) in the 80s...

Notes provided above are for the reformulation in early 90s to add a fruity note. The bottle shown is of the original, more austere version from the 80s.

Both fragrances rock.

I love this scent. Another great scent from the 80s. Spicy (thanks to the carnation, among other things) and the cinnamon. I haven't seen it around in years. Maybe I should go online and get a bottle. :)
