The story behind the bottle.
Before The Rain by Victoria's Secret was launched in 2021 as a fresh and invigorating floral fragrance for women. It opens with an ozonic and aquatic accord that captures the crispness of air just before a rainstorm, while citrus notes add a brightness that feels like a sudden burst of sunlight breaking through clouds. The heart of white florals is softly green, creating a sense of freshness and vitality that lingers throughout the day.
Apply this fragrance in light spritzes — its ozonic and aquatic notes are designed to be fresh and close-to-skin. It’s perfect for daytime wear, especially on warmer days when you want a scent that feels revitalizing and uplifting.
