The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Victoria's Secret and crafted by perfumer Gil Clavien, Bombshell Gold is a vibrant Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of indulgence. The top note of litchi introduces a burst of freshness, while the heart notes of vanilla and peony create a sweet and floral harmony. This composition transitions into a warm base of sugar and woody notes, providing a lasting warmth that feels both comforting and luxurious.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points — Bombshell Gold's top note of litchi fades quickly, but its vanilla and peony heart notes last well into the evening. The warm sugar base ensures a lasting comfort close to skin.
