Victoria’s Secret is well known as a brand that sells women’s underwear, clothing, accessories, and fragrances. However, it does occasionally venture into men’s products, notably its limited line of colognes. Now, there have been sporadic releases over the years, but which of these VS colognes smell the best? In this list, I will present the options in order, from my experience trying out each.
What are the Best Smelling Men’s Colognes by Victoria Secret?
Very Sexy– To me, the original Very Sexy is the best Victoria’s Secret cologne. It’s a fairly simple fragrance highlighted by an opening citrus burst, with light cinnamon spice, on top of a dry woody base.
The spice of cinnamon and sage is at its peak, in the beginning, but will later weaken in favor of the woodier aspects of the scent. The spice and the citrus can create a feeling of sharpness, but the scent becomes clean with a sweet edge.
I like this one, because it lives up to its name, always had a unique yet familiar vibe, and the performance was good. Plus, I could get compliments fairly regularly, back when I had a bottle. Haven’t tried in a long time, but this tops the list.
Very Sexy Platinum– I’m not going to give this the number one spot, but I feel Platinum is the second best overall. I was tempted to put it number three, due to the fact that it isn’t unique, but it’s probably better than the one below.
Very Sexy Platinum smells like a mix between a weaker old school bottle of A&F Fierce and Montblanc Legend. Neither of which is my favorite, but I respect what they bring to the table.
The main differences between Platinum and those fragrances, to me at least, is a less spicy profile and it feels woodier. This could be a better option nowadays versus Fierce, as the newer editions of that cologne, are not the same as its heyday.
Very Sexy 2– Very Sexy 2 is a nice cologne, but I think that it’s the third option, on the list. Although, I’d probably take a bottle over Platinum, because this does provide something different.
It’s light, with a semi-aquatic feel, and a nice woody base. This one feels much more like a freshie fragrance, than does Very Sexy, and less ‘sexy’. Nonetheless, Very Sexy 2 is an attractive and enjoyable wear.
A softer option, but if I could find a cheap bottle, I would definitely enjoy wearing this one. I like the blend of woods, after about an hour of wear, that aroma is very well done.

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with the different fragrances that I’ve owned, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, that new hobby grew into a consistent passion, helping millions of readers along the way. I have personally written reviews for well over 800 perfumes and colognes for both men and women. This is along with writing hundreds of other in-depth fragrance guides.
