The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2009 by Victoria's Secret and created by perfumer Michel Germain, Sexual Star is a Floral Fruity fragrance that embodies the brand’s signature blend of elegance and comfort. The composition opens with the sweet notes of apricot and African orange flower, balanced by the herbal freshness of sage. At its heart, lilac and Egyptian jasmine create an intoxicating floral bouquet, while honey adds a touch of warmth and sweetness. The base notes of Madagascar vanilla, amber, and sandalwood provide a rich, powdery finish that lingers on the skin, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate both approachability and sophistication.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers; the honey and vanilla notes are particularly warm and can become too heavy if overapplied. It pairs well with a cozy sweater or a crisp white blouse, ensuring it remains approachable yet alluring throughout the day.
