Very Sexy Oasis
by Victoria's Secret
Very Sexy Oasis is a soft, creamy white floral fragrance centered around tuberose, camellia, and orange blossom, delivering a delicate, slightly powdery sweetness that feels both youthful and refined. Many find it reminiscent of a high-end, sumptuous skin scent—less a traditional perfume and more like gilded body cream or a warm, radiant floral mist. The scent unfolds with a bright, fresh top note of orange blossom before settling into a lush, velvety core that evokes a bouquet of white flowers, faint vanillic warmth, and a subtle animalic musk. It bears a gourmand-like creaminess without being overly sugary, making it wearable yet memorable. While some describe it as having a nostalgic beachy calm—open air, cool tile, and white linen—others note it's not overwhelmingly tropical or coconutty, though it may carry faint sunscreen or honeyed undertones in certain wearers. Performance is modest—lasting half a day on some and fading quickly on others—though it can persist on clothing or in colder climates. Its sillage is typically light and intimate, making it ideal for daytime wear and spring or summer seasons. It suits those seeking a feminine, elegant, and quietly sensual fragrance that leans into soft florals without boldness or aggression.

Cons
