The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010, Bombshell by Victoria's Secret was created to embody confidence and sensuality through its distinctive blend of passionfruit, peony, and vanilla orchid. This fragrance quickly became the brand’s flagship scent, winning two Fragrance Foundation awards and earning the title 'America’s #1 Fragrance.' The composition opens with a burst of tropical fruits like passionfruit and grapefruit before settling into a heart of floral notes such as jasmine and lily-of-the-valley, all anchored by woody and musky base notes. Bombshell is not just a fragrance; it's an emblem of the brand’s body-positive marketing image, designed to make you feel like a true Bombshell.
One or two sprays are enough to capture Bombshell’s vibrant energy. The fruity top notes can be overwhelming in excess, so aim for a subtle application that allows the floral heart to shine through as the day progresses.
