12 Best Smelling Victoria Secret Mists

by

Victoria’s Secret sells all types of fragrance related items, from perfumes, to lotions to soaps to body mists. The body mist line, is an inexpensive way for people to smell great, with a less concentrated scent than an EDP.

In this post, I want to take a look at some of the best mist options from Victoria’s Secret, and give a starting point to find the right fragrance for you.

Favorite VS Luxury Fragrance Mists

OK, so, we’ve covered the eau de parfum options in depth. However, Victoria’s Secret also sells body mist scents, that are not only less expensive but also different from the perfumes (mostly). However, have a look at the other list, as many of those perfumes also come in mist form.

Best Floral/Fruity Blend

Victoria’s Secret Fragrance Mist Velvet Petal 250ml/8.4 fl oz– Velvet Petals uses touches of floral notes to be paired with a light and sweet blend of praline and a nutty almond aroma.

It’s on the much sweeter side of things, yet not too cloying or heavy. Lighter and creamy with the floral notes peaking through more towards the middle act.

This one has been remixed under this same name by Victoria’s Secret a bunch. So, you can also find a ton of flankers to Velvet Petals. For now, I’ll keep the original on the list.

That Coconut Gourmand

Victoria’s Secret Coconut Passion, Fragrance Mist, 8.4 Fl Oz- A beachy blend of coconut and vanilla, that comes across as somewhat tropical (though, not joined by the notes you’d usually associate that style with) and lotion-like, while also having that edible gourmand quality.

Coconut Passion is sweet, though, it doesn’t take on that heavy quality that so many gourmand scents can. Instead, this Victoria’s Secret mist, remains extremely wearable for the summer and beyond.

Quite clean and lightly creamy scent that is enjoyable and super attractive.

Pomegranate Lovely

Pomegranate & Lotus– This one is an absolute gem, even with its simplicity. I love a good use of pomegranate in women’s fragrances and this mist hits the mark.

Yes, it’s a lighter application of the fruit, without the density of a full bottle EDP perfume.

But, the delightful juiciness is still there, not candy-like sweet or overly tart, and the semi-aquatic floral presence of lotus giving this VS mist a unique combination.

The blend shifts more floral, after a while. Again, not much development with mists, this one is just delightful.

Vanilla and Amber 

Amber Romance, 8.4 Ounce– Warm amber meets creamy vanilla with sugary notes underneath including a delicious cherry note.

A very sweet smell, especially at the start, before becoming something which is a bit more powdery and creamy overall. A rather addicting aroma. Enveloping and cozy.

The amber title can be somewhat misleading for people. Yes, it’s a main draw, but that’s not everything by a long shot.

This one is a sweet creamy dessert or cola like aroma. Maybe like a cherry cola float or custard kind of aroma to it.

Seductive Plum and Floral

Pure Seduction Body Mist for Women, 8.4 Ounce– Another VS classic, and one that goes with some different fruit notes, to achieve its seductive aroma.

Pure Seduction starts off with plum and melon, when combined become very sweet and sort of have a berry like smell. Add a light floral and vanilla and you’ve got an attractive winner.

This one has been a Victoria’s Secret best seller for a long time. It always seems to come back around again, with its juicy profile being a great option for the spring and summer months.

The sweetness isn’t heavy and it’s an awesome casual daily option when warm out.

Has a similar style to Love Spell, just utilizing different fruit notes instead of that apple and peach combo.

Pop a Bubbly

Strawberries & Champagne– This one kind of reminds me of an old Viva La Juicy perfume. Less complicated and uses strawberries in lieu of citrus. But, the effervescent and bubbly champagne note brought the flashbacks.

This is a fun sort of wear, rather than being super sexy or relaxing. The strawberry is pretty bold and the whole composition has a cool freshness to it, especially in that opening bit.

It has its fruitiness for sure, but it’s not all that much of a sweet scent, in comparison to some others on the list.

There might be a floral note in the mix too. It definitely has a floral aroma lurking around to my nose.

Fruity, fresh, and pretty easy to wear as a daily use.

Mango Love

Victoria’s Secret Mango Temptation Fragrance Mist for Women, 8.4 fl. oz – Mango Temptation is one that they have recently brought back, for at least a limited time.

However, it is a great option for those who love a juicy mango or tropical sort of fragrance. It’s fresh and upbeat, with a hibiscus note flanking the main fruit.

The cooling effect of all the notes combining here, give it the perfect chill summer vibe. It’s pretty crisp, at times.

Less of a natural mango scent and more of a candy-like sort of aroma. Though, it isn’t too sweet and has periods where it has a sour appeal. Nonetheless, it’s a nice one. You just need to enjoy the smell of mangoes.

Simple, Rich Vanilla

Bare Vanilla Fragrance Lotion and Body Mist Set– A pick for vanilla lovers, this one is a simple warm vanilla, with light wood undertones. Bare vanilla is quite creamy and rich. Not too heavy, nor sugary sweet, but a great uplifting vanilla scent for the colder months of the year.

This one is basic and you get exactly what you’d expect. Yet, it is a captivating fragrance nonetheless.

Has some similarities with Eilish, just way stripped down since that has berries and chocolate notes that simply aren’t here. Closer in style, though.

Also, a scent that has been the source of a bunch of different popular Victoria’s Secret fragrance mist releases, under the Bare Vanilla title. Such as: La Creme, Untamed, Noir, etc. Some of those are also worth checking out.

Top Aquatic Victoria’s Secret Mist

Aqua Kiss by VS, 8.4 Ounce– This one, goes in a different direction, from the previous entries. Aqua Kiss gives you some light plum blossom, with other sweetness added, but they are secondary to the refreshing aquatic vibe.

Floral notes including daisy and freesia, with a crisp cucumber bite. Delightfully fresh, cooling, and a great summertime wear.

This one has more depth than something like Pomegranate & Lotus, but still manages to keep things light enough for the heat.

Plus, Aqua Kiss actually provides the salty aquatic aroma and not just a watery floral impression.

An Amber Rush

Victoria’s Secret Rush 8.4 oz Fragrance Mist– Amber’s warmth permeates through the heart of Rush. This mist is sweet, with some light fruits, and more floral notes in the top.

However, it’s really all about the amber, here. It’s a completely different feel from Amber Romance, has a fresher scent, compared to that.

But, the sweetness is still warm and cozy, with some gourmand facets. Not quite chocolate, but sort of a fluffy creaminess. Kind of like a marshmallow, just not exactly. Floral notes are generic, but pleasant.

Rush is a good mist option for autumn and winter nights, when you just want to relax in the delightful embrace of its scent.

Fruity Peony Mist

Crush Fragrance Mist by VS– Crush is a peony based scent, with enough fruitiness underneath, to keep it dynamic.

Mainly a floral, but has a nice juicy fruity sweetness, from pear and a bit of peach. I’m not even sure if this one is still around, though, you can find bottle online.

Update: The EDP version of this is currently available on clearance. I didn’t find the fine mist spray on the VS website. So, the Crush line may be getting the axe.

Popular Classic

Love Spell Lotion and Mist Set– Good ole Love Spell. This was always geared more towards the younger set, and pretty much, was a staple throughout high schools. It’s very fruity, with notes of peach, and apple.

Cherry blossom is also present, with a bed of floral notes playing support. This is another one, I think may be discontinued, but online options are available or even similar alternatives.

Update: It was out of stock for a while it seems, but I just now saw it again as of this 2024 update.

Tease EDP by Victoria’s Secret

by

Tease is another of the more popular fragrances by Victoria’s Secret line. It’s been in lotion, body spray, and eau de parfum form. In this post, I am going to be review the latter, and seeing just how this EDP performs. How does it smell? Does it last long? Is it worth a try?

My Full Wear Review

Tease is a sweeter perfume at times, but it actually starts out fairly tart. The pear and litchi combination will do that. Maybe a little apple thrown in the mix to boot. 

On the whole though, it is more of a light fruity sweetness than a sugary kind of perfume. A gourmand with a larger age range than just being for teenagers. Some VS scents are too youthful for women above 25 to wear them, but I think this one has a broader appeal. 

Vanilla and gardenia really star here. The pear early, these two notes later in the wear. That shift will come at about 45 minutes after application, that’s around when it happened for me.

There is slight resinous quality from an amber note in the base. Keeps it warm and smooth.

There does seem to be some other white floral notes in the mix. But, this is at least 85% gardenia in how it presents. Maybe a little bit of jasmine, but that’s about all I get distinctly. Otherwise, it’s a mishmash. 

Less fruity more vanilla floral with some touches of woods and amber. Pear and it’s sparkling quality start to play the background.

Tease EDP isn’t a very complicated fragrance. So, you pretty quickly get to experience most of what you’ll get for the duration of the wear.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

The sillage here is pretty moderate. You get a fairly big and bold start with a normal amount of sprays. Though, that’ll last maybe a little less than an hour. Then, it’s noticeable, just not anything bold or with a far reaching projection.

On my skin, Tease lasts between 6-7 hours. Not amazing, but honestly better than many of Victoria’s Secret’s other fragrances. Though, overall it’s pretty basic, and what you’d get from most other brand’s perfumes. 

Seasonally, Tease is an interesting fragrance. I’d say it’s a bit better in the colder weather than warmer, but it isn’t exclusive to autumn or winter. Really, I’d mostly just stay away from the extreme heat of summer days.

It’s not the most formal fragrance ever, but it can serve its purpose as a casual scent or daily wear. It’s attractive enough for the nightlife and will gather compliments, as these sorts of gourmands to have a mass appeal.

Tease isn’t a difficult fragrance to wear around and versatility is one of its strengths. Not the most mature or serious perfume out there, but that’s not what everyone needs either.

 

 

Overall Impressions of Tease EDP

Overall, do I like Tease? Yes, it’s a very nice entry from VS. Not the most unique, but it smells nice, and gives a good enough performance.

I do slightly prefer something like Eau So Sexy from Victoria’s Secret to this one. But, it’s not an overwhelming preference. 

The anjou pear note is really great up top and one of the highlights of the scent for me. You might think with vanilla, amber, and some other gourmand influences that this might be a heavier/thicker fragrance.

Not really, it has substance, but isn’t going to completely melt if venturing into warmer temperatures. This is a very balanced and versatile fragrance. Pretty, straightforward, and likeable for most people. 

Not a must have, but for sure worth a try, if this is your style. 

Eau So Sexy EDP by Victoria’s Secret

by

Victoria’s Secret has a seemingly endless catalog of fragrances that it has put out over the years. Some get discontinued and never come back. Others routinely do get brought back for periods of time, again and again. Eau So Sexy is one of the latter perfumes. I recently grabbed a rollerball version of the EDP to give a full test. How does it smell? Does it last long? Is it actually worth a try?

My Full Review

The opening of Eau So Sexy is a candied apple mixed with bergamot citrus, and other sugary fruits. It’s not a complete Jolly Rancher’s style apple note, but more like a juicy/crisp green apple that’s been rolled a bit in sugar.

From the start, you can tell that this is going to be a very edible and delicious sort of fragrance. The bergamot gives it a bright sparkle.

While it is sugary, it isn’t heavy at all. In fact, this one does have a fresh and upbeat vibe, rather than being a cloying mess of scent.

The initial random assemblage of fruits will start to fade. There might be some pineapple in there? Strawberry? I’m not sure, aside from the citrus, but it fades and the whipped cream plus vanilla start to take shape in the base.

It’s pretty simple from here on out. The crisp candied green apple with whipped cream. The vanilla feels like an added flavoring to the whipped cream note. Not too prominent, but adds a nice touch.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Sillage wise, this one does start off with some moderate strength, enough to create a nice scent trail with decent projection from the skin.

But, it will mostly be a softer scent, creating a more intimate bubble. To me, it’s not a complete skin scent until it gets closer to the four hour mark. Before that, it’s decent.

The longevity here isn’t great. 4-5.5 hours before it disappears. This is really the weak spot of Eau So Sexy. Not something that’s going to last all day. Bottles are usually affordable, so reapplying isn’t too burdensome.

However, you do wish it could go for longer.

Seasonally, this is actually better in the moderate to warm weather of springtime. It can venture through summer and into early autumn as well. Again, not a thick or heavy sweetness here, so it’s not going to be a winter scent.

It’s sexy in a pretty and playful way. This isn’t a sultry or dark seduction. It’s youthful without being too girlish, but also isn’t a formal wear.

Casual, dates, daytime wear mostly.

Overall Impressions of Eau So Sexy

Overall, do I like this fragrance? I really do. It is a very attractive smell. I like the freshness of the apple mixed with the creamy sweetness of the rest of the perfume notes.

Apple and whipped cream together are really great. It’s not the most mature scent out there, but doesn’t come across as being solely for teenagers either. It’s much in the same vein as the Ariana Grande line of perfumes.

It really doesn’t get too involved. Eau So Sexy is a straightforward release from Victoria’s Secret. Though, I do enjoy its simplicity.

The performance is the biggest issue. 4-5 hours really isn’t great. Not the worst, but certainly not above average either. If you go into this knowing that you’re not getting a massive long-last scent, this is a perfume that smells wonderful.
