The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2003 by Victoria's Secret and crafted by perfumer Steve DeMercado, Very Sexy for Him 2 is a bold aromatic woody fragrance. The composition opens with aldehydes and green bell pepper, creating an unexpected freshness that cuts through the traditional spicy and herbal notes like sage, juniper berries, and cardamom. As it settles, lavender and geranium add a subtle floral touch before transitioning into a warm musky base of palisander rosewood, teak wood, sandalwood, and guaiac wood.
Apply one generous spray to your chest or wrists; the aldehydes in the opening will dissipate quickly but leave behind a lingering warmth. The woody base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so give it time before heading out.
