Victoria’s Secret Seduction DARK ORCHID Eau de Parfum Photos & Review

Dark Orchid is the latest fragrance to hit the shelves from Victoria’s Secret.  This Eau de Parfum is made in correlation with the Very Sexy Seduction Bras, which are lacy and beautiful.

What the Victoria’s Secret website has to say about Dark Orchid:

Provocative. Luxurious. The ultimate expression of sexy. Give in to Victoria’s Secret Seduction—our most exclusive fragrance collection yet. Designed to seduce the senses, Dark Orchid is a signature blend of midnight orchid, crushed plum and oud wood. Spray on to wrap skin in dark luxury.

TIPS & TRICKS: For longer-lasting fragrance, layer with Victoria’s Secret Seduction Fragrance Lotion.

  • Fragrance type: Warm
  • Top notes: Crème de cassis, blood orange, crushed plum, pineapple blossom, bergamot, yuzu zest
  • Middle notes: Jasmine, red ginger orchid, dark red calla lilies, midnight orchid, muguet petals
  • Dry-down notes: Smooth warm amber, oud wood, tonka beans, amber crystals, cashmere woods, creamy musk
  • Domestic
  • 50 ml/1.7 fl oz

Dark Orchid is a light and sultry scent that is perfect for Fall.  The scent isn’t overpowering at all, but make sure when you test it you do so on your skin to make sure that the notes react well to your body chemistry.  If you’re loving how this scent works for you, be sure to also pick up the lotion.  If you layer both the scent will last that much longer.

I am loving the entire Seduction line, it has a vintage look to it that is totally my style!  When you see the lingerie, it’s easy to agree that the perfume is a fit for the Limited Edition line.

Victoria’s Secret Seduction Dark Orchid Eau de Parfum in 1.7oz retails for $49.00 and is available at Victoria’s Secret stores and online at victoriassecret.com.

Victoria’s Secret Bombshell – The Summer Edition Eau de Parfum Photos and Review

You don’t see a lot of fragrance reviews on this site.  Mostly because I have very little luck with them and it’s rare for me to test one in the store and bring it home (I have a sensitive sniffer and easily get headaches). Also, fragrances are hard to review because they smell different on everyone.  What smells fabulous on me, might not work for you and vice versa.

Basically, if I review a fragrance, it’s because I love it.

Which brings me to my new Summer scent love – Bombshell – The Summer Edition from Victoria’s Secret.

What the Victoria’s Secret website has to say about Bombshell – The Summer Edition:

Perfect for on-the-go beauty, day or night. Hello, Bombshell. Welcome to paradise. This limited-edition summer fragrance adds a splash of exotic freshness to our award-winning Victoria’s Secret Bombshell collection. Wild and bright with jasmine dew, white amber and a kiss of starfruit, this eau de parfum whisks you away to lush tropics, no passport required. Let the summer begin.

Tips & Tricks: For longer-lasting fragrance, layer with Victoria’s Secret Bombshell The Summer Edition Body Lotion.

  • Fragrance type: Fruity floral
  • Top notes: Pink pomegranate, pear nectar, Italian bergamot, juicy nectarine, Japanese yuzu, pink grapefruit flowers, starfruit
  • Middle notes: Wild muguet, exotic red tea, wild freesia, waterlily, hydroponic lily, jasmine dew
  • Dry-down: Creamy musk, white amber, cedarwood
  • Domestic
  • 50 ml/1.7 fl oz

Bombshell – The Summer Edition may be an Eau de Parfum, but it’s light and fruity, fresh with the lightest hint of floral.  It makes me think of Summer!

One spritz is all you need for a long lasting, sultry Summer scent.

If you’re curious as to what other fragrances are HG’s of mine (maybe it will help you decide if you’ll also love Bombshell – The Summer Edition), I also steadily use the original Chanel Chance.  Other past faves have been Escada Rockin’ Rio (which used to be my Summer go-to until they discontinued it, since then I haven’t found anything I liked until Bombshell) and I did love the scent of Burberry Brit Sheer but it only lasted 5 minutes on me.

Bombshell – The Summer Edition retails for $52.00 and is available for a limited time starting in May 2012, exclusively at Victoria’s Secret stores and VictoriasSecret.com.
