Innuendo was made by Roja Dove as an “homage to everything feminine: a lingerie drawer, make-up, and a knowing look.” So if you were to go into this expecting all the sturm-und-drang of a woman’s dresser before a big night out – spilled face powder and perfumed soaps rustling in their scented papers - then you’d be right.

But that’s only half of the story. Innuendo is full of twists and turns that take you from the jet fuel thrust of rose chypres to soft, musky body powders and then finally to a sweet, almost soapy tonka and sandalwood drydown that feels 180 degrees removed from the opening act.

Innuendo more than lives up to its name. There is something sexy-- forbidden almost-- about being privy to a woman’s intimate grooming rituals. Innuendo allows us a peek at it, from the soaping of flesh to the powdering of the nose and finally, to the generous spraying of a lush, 80’s-style power chypre dripping with moss, patchouli, and roses. For those actively looking for something a little old-fashioned and a little sexy at the same time, look no further.
