Very Sexy (2018)
by Victoria's Secret
Very Sexy by Victoria's Secret presents a refined, feminine allure that leans into soft sophistication rather than overt sensuality. It unfolds with a crisp, green-tinged opening featuring clementine, pepper, and a subtle cactus accord, leading into a blended heart of orchid, mimosa, and camellia—giving a powdery floral richness without sweetness overpowering. The base settles into a warm, musky-sweet structure supported by amber, blackberry, and woody notes, creating a quietly confident, skin-scented elegance. While some describe it as dark and mysterious, others note it feels brighter and more spa-like—light, fresh, and subtly sexy rather than dramatic or heavy. Its character lies in the well-blended complexity, where individual notes don’t dominate but harmonize into an intriguing, wearable fragrance. It performs best in cooler months, especially winter or fall, and enjoys a subtle, intimate presence that lingers on the skin without overwhelming. Many describe it as fitting for date nights or elegant evening wear, yet it remains approachable for daywear due to its freshness.
Pros

Cons
- −Notably weak longevity with most reporting fade within 3–6 hours
