The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Victoria's Secret, Lotus Desire is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance that balances the freshness of aquatic and ozonic notes with the warmth of earthy and woody accords. The composition opens with a crisp burst of aquatic freshness, immediately drawing you into its cool, invigorating aura. As it develops, soft florals emerge to soften the edges, while musky and woody base notes provide depth and longevity.

How to wear it

Lotus Desire has a strong initial aquatic burst that fades within an hour. To maximize its lasting power, apply it to pulse points and allow it to settle for about five minutes before dressing. It pairs well with light layers in cooler weather but can feel heavy during the height of summer.
