Accepted Answer

['senʃuəs] 
sensuoustaking delight in beauty
Anything that is pleasing to the senses can be called sensuous. The feel of a soft cashmere sweater on your skin, the taste of dark chocolate, even the smell of your favorite person — all of these can be sensuous experiences.
Sensuous describes anything that feels, tastes, smells, looks, or sounds good. Eating delicious food or relaxing in a warm bath are sensuous activities. But something intellectually satisfying, like doing a crossword puzzle or solving a math problem, is not exactly sensuous, even if you really like doing it. Use sensuous to describe stuff that makes your five senses happy.

CHOOSE RIGHT WORDS: SENSUAL-SENSUOUS
			
      The  words sensual and sensuous are often used  interchangeably, but careful writers would do well to think before using one or  the other.
      
      The  terms share the root sens-, which  means to arouse the senses. Sensual has referred to gratifying carnal, especially sexual, senses since before 1425. Sensuous is believed to have been  created by John Milton in 1641 to mean relating to the senses instead of the  intellect without the sexual connotation. Let's look at some examples that use  our pair strictly:

Designer Zac Posen sent out sensual cancan girls straight out  of a vintage Paris revue.
        
          Every once in awhile Pauline will recreate one of the sensuous  feasts she and Luciano used to serve to guests seated around a shared table.

Today,  though, many writers will use the words interchangeably:

Heat  and dust Delhi's sensual overload tests tourists, athletes 
        
          The way she gazes  into his face, we are privileged to get a glimpse of a subtle and sensuous erotica.

It's  a shame to lose these shades of meaning. When you use sensuous, do you mean to include sexual undertones? Are those  undertones absent when you use sensual?  Your readers will only know if you choose your words wisely.
