NEW FRAGRANT OFFERINGS FROM VICTORIA SECRET



Victoria Secret has several new fragrances this fall.  I have to say that their body mist and lotion collection rotate in and out so quickly that you can blink and you will miss it. They still carry their classics like Love Spell and Pure Seduction as well as Amber Romance and Coconut Passion but the rest changes at the drop of a hat.

As far as their fragrance collection, I seen so many Bombshell flankers when I went in to VS the other day, that it was ridiculous. Bombshell is their best seller and I can see why-its very fresh crisp floral that actually reminds me of Bright Crystal by Versace. Suitable for all ages and always appropriate. Generally their flankers still retain Bombshell DNA but have some minute differences.

They have one new flanker which stood out to me more than the rest, called Bombshell Gold. According to Fragrantica site, notes are as follow: litchi, vanilla, peony, sugar and wood notes. This actually smells NOTHING like the original for a change which I was happy to see. It's warm sweet light floral oriental. 

Few months ago, VS had lotion and body spray called Gold Struck which smells IDENTICAL and I mean IDENTICAL to new Bombshell Gold-sweet citrusy, slightly fruity vanilla scent. I haven't seen it in stores so they probably done away with it as they do with most of their scents. I couldn't resist and picked up Bombshell Gold Fine Fragrance Mist because they are having 2 for $25 sale. Lasting power is meh as usual. If you like sweet citrusy vanilla go no further.  And of course packaging is always top notch. I think their edt has gone up in price because right now it is $57 dollars for 1.7 oz -close to department store price. If you like a flanker, and don't want to shell out your coins for full price, I highly recommend waiting several months because they will go on sale before being axed out.




Another notable mention is Bombshell Seduction -they changed the color of the bottle but otherwise its a same scent. Note from Fragrantica: sage, tuberose, musk. VS site also mentions white peony. This scent stood out a bit from the rest because its very fresh and clean. It still retains Bombshell DNA but I think tuberose makes a difference. I actually like it a lot and wish lasting power wasn't so poor. I also prefer the new lighter peach color bottle as it compliments the scent. However, I do not see anything remotely "seductive " here.  It is a great everyday scent.
