The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018 by Victoria's Secret, Very Sexy is an Oriental Floral fragrance for women created by perfumer Jean Claude Delville. The composition opens with a burst of blackberry and clementine, infused with the freshness of green notes and cactus. This bright beginning gives way to a heart filled with floral notes like orchid, mimosa, hortensia, and camelia. A musky base of amber and woody notes adds warmth and depth, creating an alluring scent that balances sweetness with subtle spice.

How to wear it

Apply Very Sexy with two sprays — the initial citrus and fruit notes are vibrant but fade quickly into the floral heart. The musky base develops slowly over time, so it's best to let this fragrance breathe on your skin for at least a half-hour before stepping out.
