The best Victoria’s Secret perfumes combine an intoxicating blend of attention-seeking flowers, fruits and musks. Here are 10 sensual fragrances to consider.
1. Dream Angel Eau de Parfum
Review
Dream Angel Eau de Parfum is a bright and radiant feminine fragrance inspired by a prism’s flash. It’s a sweet floral and fruity experience with an underlying Oriental woodiness that is radiant and sparkling. Released in 2019.
This fragrance opens with sweet red berries that soon melts into a sweet floral heart of fragrant jasmine. Vanilla absolute adds a luxurious sweetness and depth to the scent. The base notes of warm amber and wood emerge from the fragrance upon full dry down.
Dream Angel is relatively light and easy-to-wear all year round, making it ideal as your daytime any-season feel-good fragrance.
I found that you can expect 4+ hours of performance before Dream Angel becomes a skin scent. Sillage and projection are moderate.
The bottle of Dream Angel Eau de Parfum is feminine and fun, with angled glass in candy colours, ornate lid and bold, black writing. It’s clearly also taken inspiration from the flash of a prism, just like the fragrance itself.

2. Bombshell Seduction Eau de Parfum
Review
Bombshell Seduction Eau de Parfum is one of Victoria’s Secret’s best-selling Bombshell fragrance. Released in 2018, it’s an intoxicating oriental floral scent that feels great on.
The opening of this fragrance begins with vibrant white peony dusted with sage that is delightfully feminine. Upon dry-down, a sensual base of musk ties everything together to create a fresh flowery perfume with a sensual, musky vibe.
I felt that Bombshell Seduction lends itself well to daytime wear in spring and summer. It’s bright, cheerful and feminine with a dash of allure.
Performance is moderate, you can expect 3-4 hours of longevity before becoming a skin scent. Sillage and projection are average.
The presentation of Bombshell Seduction is glamorous and luxurious, definitely reflecting the Victorian inspiration of the brand. It features a signature Victoria’s Secret pink ribbon tied around the neck of the bottle.

3. Tease Eau de Parfum
Review
Tease Eau de Parfum will provide a welcome boost to any woman’s confidence with this fruity-floral fragrance that teases with sensual vanilla and pear notes. This fragrance was released in 2018.
The opening is a feast of soft pear, crisp apple, orange, and sweet lychee. A blooming heart of white flowers sees fragrant gardenia and sweet jasmine most prominent.
This sublime concoction of beautiful notes dries down to an alluring base of warming woods entwined with musk, creamy vanilla, amber and chocolate.
Tease Eau de Parfum is more of an evening fragrance best suited to autumn/winter because of its luxuriously fruity notes blended with seductive vanilla.
It has moderate sillage and projection, so maybe isn’t for those of you who like your fragrances big and bold. I found that longevity was 3-4 hours.
The packaging is sexy, a boudoir-based froth that definitely catches the eye – it has a pink bottle with fishnet overlay topped off with fishnet fabric in pink and black. The pink and black colour scheme coupled with the fishnet is very Moulin Rouge.
Top Notes:
Pear, Mandarin Orange, Lychee, Apple
Mid Notes:
Gardenia, Jasmin, Freesia, Magnolia, Cyclamen
Base Notes:
Vanilla, Benzoin, Musk, Chocolate, Amber, Sandalwood

4. Bombshell Intense Eau de Parfum
Review
Launched in 2019, Bombshell Intense Eau de Parfum is a provocative addition to the range of Bombshell perfumes by Victoria’s Secret. It’s a rich, floral take on fragrance that offers power, strength, glamour, passion and warmth.
A fruity chypre floral fragrance, Bombshell Intense Eau de Parfum contains only three notes. The opening combination of lush cherry blended with fragrant peony is a delight to the senses. Sweet vanilla in the base dries down to create a captivating spicy cherry-vanilla scent.
Bombshell Intense is more suited to autumn and winter and feels a full-on going out to party fragrance. Its fun, sassy, cheeky and sexy.
The fragrance lasts a moderate amount of time on the skin – around 4 hours – with average sillage, making it an excellent evening wear choice. If you are out all night, you will need to top up.
Bombshell Intense’s packaging is definitely glamourous, with bold striped glass and hot pink Victoria’s Secret ribbon. Very nice.

5. Heavenly Eau de Parfum
Review
The 2019 release of Heavenly Eau de Parfum is a fragrance that captures every woman’s inner strength, radiant spirit, and luminosity. The scent combines fruits and florals with underlying warmth to create a sensual and sophisticated Eau de Parfum.
A floral opening of romantic white flowers sees peony, freesia and lotus bloom spectacularly. The heart of this fragrance is sweet vanilla that cranks up the sensual tension. Upon dry-down, creamy sandalwood and musk waft through, creating warmth and sophistication.
As for when to wear, Heavenly Eau de Parfum leans more towards being a sophisticated daytime fragrance. I feel it works incredibly well in autumn or winter.
This fragrance lasts a relatively short amount of time at 2-3 hours. Still, it does have a strong sillage and projection initially that really lingers in the air. Try spraying to clothing to increase the performance.
Like the scent within, the packaging of Heavenly is luminous and gold with metallic richness and opulent bottle design. It works really well with the fragrance and has a lot of dressing-table appeals.
Top Notes:
White Peony, Lotus, Freesia
Mid Notes:
Vanilla
Base Notes:
Sandalwood, Musk

6. Very Sexy Eau de Parfum
Review
Very Sexy Eau de Parfum is a bold, woody, slow-burn feminine fragrance that lingers nicely. It’s a sensual and captivating scent created by Jean Claude Deville for Victoria’s Secret. Launched in 2018.
This fragrance begins with fruity opening notes of clementine and blackberry sprinkled with black pepper. A powdery floral heart of hortensia and orchid dominate and give way to a base of woody notes, amber and musk.
It’s a great perfume to wear in an evening, especially if you’re dining out, and works well for autumn and winter. The underlying warmth of this fragrance works particularly well in the colder months. Confident, sultry, and alluring.
As for performance, Very Sexy Eau de Parfum has a moderate sillage and lasted a little over 3 hours on me before becoming a skin scent.
The packaging is seductive and classically sexy. The dark red bottle has black and gold accents, with the signature Victoria’s Secret ribbon tied at the neck.

7. Bombshell Paradise Eau De Parfum
Review
Launched in 2020, Bombshell Paradise Eau De Parfum is a romantic vacation in a bottle. Fruit and tropical florals combine to create the perfect fruity, floral fragrance that will have you thinking of sun, sea and sand.
The zingy, fruity top notes of grapefruit and blackcurrant give way to the floral fragrances of Lily of the Valley and flowers. Upon dry-down, the fragrance dries down to woody notes and pine.
It’s versatile, but the fragrance’s zesty and beachy tones sit best for spring/summer daytime wear. Bombshell Paradise is a feel-good fragrance that is a delight to wear.
Bombshell Paradise is a reasonably long-lasting fragrance at 4+ hours with moderate sillage. Great for everyday wear and feels pretty on.
The packaging of Bombshell Paradise works perfectly with the fragrance within. The angular glass bottle features ombre tones ranging from pink to orange-peach that just makes you imagine drinking refreshing summer cocktails on a sunlit beach.

Grapefruit, Blackcurrant

8. Love Eau de Parfum
Review
Love Eau de Parfum is a beautiful powdery floral fragrance that feels soft, clean and carefree. Released in 2017, this romantic ultra-feminine scent is a delight to wear.
This fragrance opens with the fresh fusion of aromatic juniper berries and sweet, juicy apricot. A heart of apricot-flower adds a delicate petally floral vibe that drives the romantic tone of this scent. Powdery cotton flower in the base reveals the smell of freshly woven Egyptian cotton sheets.
As for when to wear, Love Eau de Parfum is a great all-rounder. I would say it best suited as a spring or summer daytime scent. Think romantic summer walks or fancy lunches.
Performance is only moderate. You can expect 2-3 hours before Love Eau de Parfum becomes a skin scent. Sillage and projection are also only modest so think of this as more of an intimate fragrance.
The packaging is girly but opulent. With a carved bottle, pink perfume and gold accents are slightly reminiscent of Chanel packaging. It’s a gorgeous bottle that looks more luxurious than its price point.
Top Notes:
Juniper
Mid Notes:
Apricot Flower, Apricot
Base Notes:
Cotton Flower

9. Very Sexy Night Eau de Parfum
Review
Very Sexy Night Eau de Parfum is a new iteration of Victoria’s Very Sexy collection and was released in 2019. It’s a sensual oriental floral scent with woody tones that captures an evening in the city.
It combines rich and sensual black plum and luscious apple for an incredibly sophisticated opening that smells expensive. Seductive woody notes provide underlying warmth and glamour. Don’t be fools by its simplicity, this is a stunningly beautiful fragrance.
As the name suggests, Very Sexy Night leans more towards eveningwear. I feel it works best in autumn/winter, as the fragrance’s underlying warmth works well with colder weather.
Very Sexy Night Eau de Parfum lasts between 3-4 hours the skin, coupled with decent sillage and projection.
The bottle really does invoke night, with a glossy black finish and gold accents, metallic embossed text and black ribbon draped around the top of the flacon. It’s definitely living up to its “very sexy” name on any dressing table.

10. Tease Rebel Eau de Parfum
Review
For Tease Rebel Eau de Parfum, Victoria’s Secret asked their perfumer, Stephen Nilsen, to create a floral that broke from tradition. They created an urban bouquet entwined with white leather, launched in 2017.
With powdery opening notes of fragrant violet, this fragrance is feminine and sensual right from the start. A heart of wild rose blooms to add additional lift. Upon dry-down, luxurious leather moves this fragrance away from the traditional, although still sits comfortably as an oriental floral with a powdery kick.
Tease Rebel is, in my opinion, is a formal any-season fragrance. Leans slightly more towards daytime wear, this is classy and sophisticated.
Performance is pretty good. 5+ hours of longevity with moderate-to-fair sillage and projection that doesn’t linger too long after you’ve left a room.
The square, lilac bottle balances femininity with a sexy edge. Overlaid in a black fishnet design and tied with fishnet ribbon at the bottleneck, it features graffiti-inspired text and branding that displays its youthful spirit.
