The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Silk Mandarin Santal by Victoria's Secret was launched in 2009 as a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women. The composition opens with bright citrus notes that give way to a heart of yellow florals, creating an intriguing contrast between freshness and warmth. The base of powdery woods and musky accords rounds out the scent, providing a comfortable and enveloping finish.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance with a light touch — its parfum concentration means it lasts long on skin. The citrus opening is bright but brief, so allow time for the powdery woods and musky base notes to bloom fully. This works best in cooler settings where the warmth of the scent can be appreciated without overpowering.
