Victoria’s Secret Bombshell New York Perfume Review

What’s better than one very good thing? Two very good things, of course! Just like yours truly, VS couldn’t seem to get enough of Bombshell either me thinks and that’s how Bombshell New York happened. Because similar to Bombshell, Bombshell New York too is a fruity floral scent, albeit with an edge. Carrying undertones of Starfruit, Twilight Jasmine and Madagascar Vanilla, I’m pegging this fragrance as a mature variant of Bombshell, better suited to women looking to make a statement. Another way it scores over the original Bombshell is that the shorter staying power of Bombshell seems to have been corrected here making Bombshell New York an absolute winner. Use it a couple of times to know why I’m calling it that, and why you’ll never want to step out of the house again without wearing it. No cons for this little baby here, only tonnes of love.

8. Wicked Eau de Parfum
An edgy, dark twist on the original Crush fragrance with some absolutely delish notes like Freesia, Black sugar and Tahitian Vanilla, Victoria’s Secret Wicked is a warm perfume meant for the 99% angel.

Pros

• Suitable for wear by everyone
• Lasts long
• Great dry down
• Sweet fragrance neither floral nor fruity

Cons

• The sweetness may be overpowering for some

Victoria’s Secret Wicked Perfume Review

So, I have a real feeling that the noses involved in creating Wicked were on a sugar rush that particular day coz Wicked is hands down one of the sweetest fragrances from the Victoria’s Secret collection. With notes of Freesia, Black Sugar and Tahitian Vanilla, the VS Wicked is a fragrance that can be a real hit or miss with users. Personally, I feel that if you’re looking for something that is neither too floral nor too fruity, you’re going to love Wicked for what it is. A mostly vanilla sweet smell, it is rescued by just the right amount of floral tones that give it a nice warmth. Of all the VS perfumes I have tried in the past, I particularly love the dry down here (the smell that lingers after the initial notes have worn off) for its distinct smell that is never too floral, or fruity, or musky, but a happy blend of all three. Great job by VS at trying to create something different from their regular collection. Do bear in mind though that the strong sweet notes have put off a user occasionally, which is why you’d be well advised to try it for yourself before buying it. I’m going to go with 4 stars for this one.
