Very Sexy Now 2015
Fragrance notes
Character
This is a fragrance that opens with a crisp slice of cucumber, all watery green and refreshing, before the coconut slides in creamy and lactonic, turning the whole thing into something closer to a sunblock slicked poolside day. The tuberose is there, but it is not the diva of the florist shop. It is a shy, white floral whisper held back by the aquatic and ozonic accords that keep everything light and strangely synthetic in that way Victoria’s Secret does so well. The dry down is a vanilla sweetened coconut milk that lingers like the ghost of a piña colada spilled on hot concrete.
Imagine a bottle of fancy sunscreen that someone left open in a beach bag. It is not heavy, it is not natural, and it does not pretend to be niche. It is a mainstream spritz for a specific mood. The longevity is a problem at 2.63 out of 5. You will need to reapply if you want anyone to notice after an hour. The sillage is equally shy, hovering close to the skin like a polite secret. It suits someone who wants a cheerful, tropical flicker without commitment, a woman heading to brunch in the July heat or slipping into a sundress for a daytime date. Skip it if you demand depth, staying power, or a tuberose that actually snarls. This is a vacation in a bottle, but only for the first two hours.
