Victoria's Secret Very Sexy (2018) is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Jean Claude Delville. Very Sexy (2018) opens with Clementine, Cactus, Pepper, and Coffee, settles into a heart of Orchid, Mimosa, Hydrangea, and Camellia, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Amber. Victoria's Secret's Very Sexy (2018) carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Victoria's Secret Very Sexy (2018) is a polarising scent, loved by many for its dark, confident vibe, yet called out by others for being too 'mature' or simply quite 'meh'. It's a proper grown-up number that knows how to make an impression- on the right skin, at least.

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.

With its moderate sillage and solid longevity, Very Sexy is a cracking choice for date nights and formal events, though perhaps a bit much for the office. It's often described as a 'date night' scent, but its depth also makes it suitable for dressier occasions.

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.

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

Very Sexy opens with a vibrant, albeit slightly synthetic, burst of blackberry and clementine, spiced up with a peck of pepper and an unexpected green cactus note. The heart blossoms into a rich floral bouquet of orchid, mimosa, and camellia, lending a powdery softness. As it dries down, a warm base of musky amber and subtle woods emerges, leaving a smooth, seductive skin-scent with hints of coffee lurking in the background for a touch of grown-up mystery. This scent aims for sophistication while maintaining a playful fruity edge.
