Don't Sleep on Victoria's Secret Perfumes—These 18 Are the Best
As I was working on this story, I thought back to my experience growing up shopping at Victoria's Secret. I experimented with everything the brand had to offer, from its undies and fragrances to shampoos (which got me compliments on how good I smelled daily). But even with all of my fond memories, I thought about how the brand's messaging around body image affected how I saw myself. So after taking a glimpse at its social media, it was nice to see that the brand is owning its impact on millions of young girls and women.
And its latest fragrance launch, Bare, is redefining what we've come to expect from their fragrances, even featuring a women-led campaign featuring a diverse cast of women who are making an impact on the world via activism, creativity, and unique points of view. Here, we've rounded up 18 of the brand's best fragrances that feature scents ranging from florals to grounded notes of bergamot and much more. And, of course, we couldn't leave out the Bombshell fragrance that started it all—it is still America's number one best-selling fragrance, after all.

Housed in a rich red bottle, Bombshell Intense layers red peony, cherry, and vanilla for a scent as sultry as its packaging.

As the sister of its older fragrance sister, Bombshell, this airy fragrance offers a light yet warm scent moment.

Florals are at the heart of this perfume, so if you can't go a week without fresh flowers, this fragrance is for you.
7. Bombshell Nights Eau de Parfum
Key Notes: Sparkling cassis, purple dahlia, golden woods
We love a limited-edition pick, and since this glamorous scent is only around for a short time, the sensual option is worth a try.

Offering a fresh take, this flirty, floral fragrance is all about blooming and bringing in the new.
9. Very Sexy Oasis Eau de Parfum

Launched in 2014, this drop literally and figuratively brought the bold, sexy, and luxurious glamour with notes of citrus, berry, and vanilla in a bottle.
11. Very Sexy Sea Eau de Parfum
Key Notes: Italian bergamot, neroli blossom, sundrenched cedar
For a more grounded, coastal scent (think a seaside escape to the Amalfi coast), we love this fragrant trifecta of Italian bergamot, neroli blossom, and cedar.
12. Very Sexy Night Eau de Parfum
Key Notes: Black plum, velvet woods, luscious apple
The bottle alone makes this scent feel sexy, but the notes of black plum, sultry musks, and velvety woods take it over the top.

Blackcurrant, citrus, pink pepper, and patchouli are at the heart of this deep fragrance.

Launched in 2018, the floral gardenia and brightness of the notes of pear make this scent a treat for the senses.
15. Tease Candy Noir Eau de Parfum
Key Notes: Raspberry glaze, night-blooming iris, warm tonka
This one is a newbie, but the raspberry glaze, grounding tonka, and balancing Iris give this scent warmth and depth.
16. Tease Crème Cloud Eau de Parfum
17. Love Eau de Parfum
Key Notes: Fresh juniper, apricot blush, boyfriend tee
Wearing your heart on your sleeve isn't a bad thing in the case of this juniper berry, apricot, and floral fragrance with a hint of boyfriend tee.
