Anything that is pleasing or delightful to the senses can be called sensuous. The feel of a luxurious cashmere sweater on your skin, the taste of a well-prepared meal, even the scent worn by your favorite person — all of these can be sensuous experiences.
The words sensuous and sensual are related and have very similar meanings: they both describe things that affect the senses in a positive way. Anything that feels, tastes, smells, looks or sounds good is sensuous. Things that satisfy the mind more than the body are not sensuous. Eating delicious food or relaxing in a warm bath are sensuous activities, but something intellectually satisfying, like doing a crossword puzzle is not sensuous, even if you really like doing it.
