The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Bombshell Oud by Victoria's Secret was launched in 2021 and is a creation of perfumer Clément Gavarry. This fragrance opens with the bright freshness of mandarin orange and saffron, which cuts through to reveal the warm, rich heart of peony and violet leaf. As it settles into its base notes of agarwood (oud), ambroxan, leather, and white suede, Bombshell Oud becomes a complex blend of metallic and musky accords that evoke a sense of opulence and mystery.

How to wear it

Bombshell Oud's metallic and musky base notes are best experienced close to skin. Apply two sprays to pulse points for an enduring warmth that evolves throughout the day. This fragrance is ideal for evening wear when its depth can truly shine.
