Our Verdict - Bombshell Oud

This is Victoria's Secret trying something genuinely daring, and it's paid off for many. It's not a safe blind buy, with its divisive opening and strong oud-leather character, but it offers surprising depth and luxury for the price.

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

The strong oud and leather accords, coupled with frequent mentions of its 'sexy' and 'dark' character, make it ideal for date nights and formal events. While some find it suitable for the office due to its soft projection, many experience it as quite potent and not an everyday casual scent.
