Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Victoria's Secret, Scandalous Dare is a Floral Fruity fragrance that balances the boldness of tuberose and sweet accords with subtle fruity notes. The composition opens with bright citrus and floral freshness before giving way to a heart of rich sweetness and a base that hints at something more daring and animalic. This blend creates an intriguing tension, making it both approachable and seductive.
Scandalous Dare's fruity top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so layering it over lotion or moisturizer can help them linger longer. The animalic base takes about an hour to fully bloom, making it perfect for a night out where you want to build intrigue as the evening progresses.
