The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2003 by Victoria's Secret and crafted by perfumer Annie Buzantian, Breathless is a Floral fragrance that balances fresh citrus and green notes with warm spiciness and powdery woods. The composition opens with bright citrus and green accords before transitioning to a heart of white florals, which give way to a base of woody warmth and subtle spices. This blend creates an atmosphere of quiet confidence and understated elegance.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced experience. The bright citrus opening fades within an hour, but the warm woody base notes linger throughout the day, making it ideal for both daytime wear and evening events.
