The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Midnight Exotics Forbidden Vanilla by Victoria's Secret was launched in 2017 as a Floral fragrance for women that blends the warmth of vanilla with woody and powdery accords. The composition opens with a bright green note, which adds an unexpected freshness to the mix before giving way to the rich sweetness of vanilla. This creates a contrast that is both intriguing and comforting, making it feel like a secret indulgence — something forbidden yet utterly alluring.

How to wear it

Midnight Exotics Forbidden Vanilla has a relatively short top note that fades within an hour. Focus on applying it to pulse points where warmth can enhance its powdery base, ensuring the vanilla and woody accords linger throughout the evening.
