The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022, Optimism by Victoria's Secret is a vibrant and uplifting Citrus Aromatic fragrance for both women and men. The composition begins with the juicy burst of pineapple, which introduces an effervescent freshness that feels like a bright ray of sunshine. As it develops, citruses and jasmine bring a delicate floral sweetness, while upcycled orange oil grounds the scent in a warm and comforting base note.

How to wear it

Optimism is best applied in light spritzes to keep its vibrant freshness from becoming too intense. The pineapple top note is particularly bright, so one or two sprays are enough to capture that burst of energy throughout the day.
