The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018, You Should Be Dancing by Victoria's Secret is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of vibrancy and joy. The composition opens with bright citrus and fruity notes that dance across your senses before settling into a heart of lush florals. This is not just a fragrance; it’s an invitation to let go and revel in the moment, infused with the playful spirit of summer.

How to wear it

One or two sprays is enough — the citrusy fruity top notes are bright but fleeting. The floral heart blooms within an hour, so give it time to settle before heading out for the evening. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
