Victoria's Secret Heavenly Summer (2015)

Heavenly Summer by Victoria's Secret is a minimalist, fresh-scented fragrance with a pronounced citrus-powdery character. The dominant bergamot gives a dry, bitter peeliness, while orris root adds a rooty, mineral-like powderiness that is surprisingly restrained and elegant. The overall scent is clean and soapy, evoking sunshine on dry earth, cold linen, and a wistful aura of pollen and dust in a sunlit garden. It lacks sweetness and fruitiness, resulting in a spare, artistic profile that feels more evocative than traditionally appealing. Despite its tender long life and moderate sillage, the fragrance is widely recognized for its short longevity and lack of lasting presence—many note it lasts only a few hours. It’s particularly favored during spring and summer, and perceived as ideal for daytime wear under bright skies.
