Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Dare is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Very Sexy Dare opens with Bergamot, Blood Orange, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Peony, Lily, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. Victoria's Secret's Very Sexy Dare carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive yet unique, Very Sexy Dare is a dark horse from Victoria's Secret. Some find it a masterpiece of spiced citrus and woods, others a masculine misfire. If you want something genuinely different, give it a sniff.

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:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its moderate sillage and unique, slightly masculine edge make it interesting for a date or evening out, though not overpowering. It could work for a casual evening but is perhaps too distinctive for an office or sporty setting.

About

Opens with a zesty, almost jammy blood orange and bright bergamot, surprisingly spiced from the get-go. As it settles, jasmine, peony, and lily emerge, but they're quickly overshadowed by an aromatic nutmeg heart. The base melts into a soft, woody musk with a hint of creamy tonka, creating a unique warmth that's far from typical VS fare.
