The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 by Victoria's Secret and created by perfumer Carlos Viñals, Very Sexy Sea is a provocative escape that captures the essence of an idyllic retreat to the Amalfi Coast. The fragrance opens with sunny citrus notes from Italian Bergamot, providing a bright, natural freshness that transitions into the refined floral brightness of Neroli Blossom. As it settles, the sultry warmth of Sundrenched Cedar offers a splash of watery freshness, creating an inviting contrast between cool and warm scents.
Apply this fragrance with a light hand; its top notes of bergamot are bright but fade quickly. Focus on areas where your body naturally heats up to enhance the warmth of cedar in the base. It’s best suited for daytime wear when you want to evoke a fresh, sun-kissed vibe.
