Victoria's Secret Bombshell is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Adriana Medina-Baez and Mark Knitowski. Bombshell opens with Grapefruit, Pineapple, Strawberry, and Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Red Fruits, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Oakmoss. Victoria's Secret's Bombshell carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Bombshell is a divisive crowd-pleaser that's either a vibrant, confident stunner or a synthetic, dated mess. It's an undisputed fruity-floral icon that takes you straight back to the 2010s, for better or worse.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, clean, and fruity nature makes it ideal for casual wear, office settings (with a light hand), and even sport, as many find it refreshing. However, its youthful and less sophisticated profile makes it less suitable for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an unapologetic burst of tropical passionfruit, pineapple, and zesty grapefruit, quickly followed by a medley of sweet red berries and blooming florals like peony and jasmine. The drydown settles into a fresh, clean musk, underpinned by a subtle, earthy oakmoss that keeps the fruit from flying off the rails. It’s a bright, juicy, and effervescent scent.
