The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Jean Claude Delville launched Very Sexy for Him in 2001 as a bold statement within the Victoria's Secret fragrance lineup. The composition opens with tangerine and lime, creating a zesty freshness that cuts through the air like a crisp morning breeze. This bright start leads to a heart of caraway and cinnamon, adding a spicy warmth that contrasts beautifully with the citrus top notes. As it settles into a woody base of sequoia and vetiver, accented by musk and orange blossom, Very Sexy for Him transforms from an aromatic punch to a warm, inviting embrace.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays initially — the tangerine and lime top notes will fade within an hour but set the stage for the warm, woody base. The scent builds on skin over time, so a second application can be helpful as the night progresses.
