A pastel-colored chiffon scarf made of gentle flowers
That's how I would describe the scent in a few words.
I have not been a big fan of VS fragrances so far. Nor of the body sprays. The scents have always been too fruity-sweet for me, and I generally don't like body spray. The exception here is the Acqua Colonia body sprays, especially Lime & Nutmeg, which refresh wonderfully.
Only Secret Charm piqued my curiosity when I read the comments about it. Unfortunately, our Müller didn't have a tester for it, but since the EdT was reduced to €9.95 this week, I took it home untested. If necessary, it can go to the swap meet, I thought. Still, I was sure I would like the scent. The comments sounded promising, and I also really like honeysuckle and jasmine. Serafina criticizes the low sillage, so it can't be a powerhouse.
And indeed, I like the scent. Quite a lot, actually. It is really quite close to the skin, which I prefer not only in spring when everything outside is blooming and fragrant. Still, it is well perceivable for me; 2-3 sprays are more than enough. The scent starts with honeysuckle, and jasmine quickly follows. The two create a lovely duo, and you don't get much more than that. So, if honeysuckle and jasmine are too little for you, you will be disappointed.
Overall, the scent is remarkably linear. After the first 5 minutes, nothing more happens. The scent simply becomes weaker over time. This is not a drawback for me; I don't like scents that completely change over time. I spray fragrances according to my mood, sometimes also according to the occasion. Therefore, a strongly changing scent progression is more annoying than pleasant for me. I prefer to use another scent after a few hours when the fragrance has faded, or I just reapply. Secret Charm lasts about 4 hours, which is perfectly sufficient for me. I don't like scents that stubbornly cling to me like glue - 4-5 hours are the ideal longevity for me.
Anyone looking for a fresh-floral, light scent for spring and summer who doesn't want to spend too much should definitely give this one a try!
Edit: I've just realized which scent it reminds me of. It's "Daisy" by Marc Jacobs. Only that it lasts significantly better than the expensive daisies!
