The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019 by Victoria's Secret, Dark Romantic is an aromatic fruity fragrance that blends unexpected contrasts into a harmonious whole. The scent opens with bright tropical and fresh notes, creating an initial burst of energy and vibrancy. As it settles, the composition reveals a soft spicy and woody base that adds depth and warmth, making it feel both modern and lasting.
One or two sprays are sufficient as the fresh and fruity top notes can be quite bright. The woody base develops gradually over time, so it’s best to apply and let it settle before heading out. This fragrance is versatile enough for both daytime and evening wear.
