The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by Victoria's Secret, Romantic is a floral fragrance that balances delicate rose and aldehydic notes with a powdery musk base. The composition opens with the crisp freshness of aldehydes before transitioning into a heart of rich roses, which are softened by subtle powder undertones. This blend creates an intimate and alluring atmosphere that feels both classic and modern.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays for a lasting effect — the aldehydic top notes are bright but fleeting, while the powdery musk base gradually unfolds over time. This fragrance is best suited for evening wear, when its warmth can linger close to skin.
