Composition & Character

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Dark Orchid by Victoria's Secret was launched in 2012 as a floral fruity fragrance for women. The composition opens with bright citrus and green notes that introduce an immediate freshness, followed by a heart of fruity and spicy accords that add depth and warmth. The base is a harmonious blend of sweet florals, creating a scent that feels both vibrant and sophisticated. This fragrance captures the essence of Victoria's Secret’s legacy in offering elegant yet approachable fragrances.

How to wear it

Apply Dark Orchid in light layers for a subtle yet lasting effect. The fruity-spicy heart notes hold up well through the day, making it ideal for daytime wear. Avoid heavy application to prevent overwhelming its intricate balance.
