Victoria's Secret So In Love is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Annie Buzantian. So In Love opens with Cognac, and settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Violet Leaf, and Ylang-Ylang. Victoria's Secret's So In Love carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This isn't your average Victoria's Secret offering. So In Love is a powerful, unapologetic rose bomb, a divisive blend of vintage sophistication and potent floral soapiness. You'll either adore its classic charm or find it overwhelmingly old-fashioned.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for the office, where one spray might be too much. It shines on dates or formal events where its romantic, bold character can command attention, though some found it too 'soapy' for everyday casual wear.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

A rich, heady floral bouquet dominated by a truly authentic, almost green rose, deepened by spicy carnation. A boozy hint of cognac mingles with sweet honey and the fresh, powdery touch of violet leaf, culminating in a robust, slightly soapy dry down that lingers for hours.
