Emanuel Ungaro Senso Paris Eau de Parfum Spray 1.5 oz (45ml) Vintage 1990s 1993
Vibrant, sophisticated, and unmistakably French, Senso by Emanuel Ungaro remains one of the fashion house's most distinctive fragrance creations. Originally introduced in 1987 and reimagined with a striking new presentation in 1992, Senso combined an opulent Floral Oriental composition with one of the boldest bottle designs of the era. Its sculptural pink ribbed exterior, brilliant blue cap, and polished gold-tone collar perfectly captured the colorful, expressive style that defined Emanuel Ungaro during the late twentieth century. Today, early examples from the 1992 relaunch have become increasingly desirable among collectors of vintage French designer fragrances.
Available here is an authentic Senso Eau de Parfum Spray in the 1.5 fl. oz. (45 ml) size.

Dating & Authenticity

Manufactured by Parfums Ungaro Paris in France, this bottle retains all original identifying markings and is guaranteed authentic. Packaging & Presentation
Few fragrance bottles of the early 1990s are as visually distinctive as Senso. The vivid pink ribbed exterior creates a graceful spiral effect that draws the eye upward to a polished gold-tone collar and contrasting bright blue cap bearing the elegant Senso script. Hidden beneath the sculptural exterior is a sleek metallic atomizer that preserves the bottle's clean, uninterrupted silhouette when closed.
The result is a presentation that functions as both a luxury fragrance and a striking piece of contemporary French design, reflecting Emanuel Ungaro's celebrated use of bold color and dramatic visual contrast. Condition
This bottle is new and retains its original contents. Please note that there is a small surface chip to the pink exterior shell on the front of the bottle approximately one inch below the gold-tone collar (please see photographs). This is a minor cosmetic imperfection affecting only the exterior shell and does not affect the structural integrity, spray mechanism, or fragrance reservoir. The condition has been fully reflected in the asking price.Otherwise, the bottle presents beautifully, with vibrant color, excellent gloss, and a well-preserved atomizer and cap. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and accurately represent the exact item you will receive. Collector Interest
Senso occupies a distinctive place within Emanuel Ungaro's fragrance history, combining an elegant Floral Oriental composition with one of the designer's most recognizable bottle designs. Early bottles from the 1992 relaunch have become increasingly difficult to locate, particularly in unused condition. Even with the minor cosmetic flaw noted above, this remains an excellent opportunity to acquire an authentic early-production example of a long-discontinued French designer fragrance. Fragrance History:
1987: Emanuel Ungaro introduces Senso, establishing a sophisticated Floral Oriental fragrance inspired by bold femininity and classic French perfumery.
1992: Senso is relaunched with an updated presentation featuring its now-iconic sculptural bottle while preserving the fragrance's luxurious character.
