Hey guys, how are you doing? Hmm… I hope well, and that you’re in a good mood too. Why? Well, today it’s about a fragrance whose brand name seems absolutely destined to make me flip out again when my hormones go crazy and so… or I just get dirty thoughts like always: Victoria’s Secret! And you want to lynch me for it again!

No no no, you can’t present ME with fragrances from SUCH BRANDS… It’s already bad enough that I wasted half a day researching the fragrance, just looking at all the lingerie models that popped up in the image search when you look for Victoria’s Secret! Try it yourself if you don’t believe me. Sure, a picture or two of other products from the brand shows up, but it’s very sparse. You always see about 20-30 radiant models in lingerie, then comes a photo of a fragrance or a body lotion, then follow another 20-30 models, then you see product photos of lingerie, so just the products without the models, then come a bunch of models again, and so on. And all these pictures look so hot :D Oh my God, in some pictures the girls have turned around and are presenting their behinds in very skimpy lingerie (yesss, butt eats pants, as they say :DD), and I like that kind of thing and STAY DAMN WHERE YOU ARE!!!… I’ll get to the fragrance now… tsss…

Alright, okay, as I said, today it’s about Victoria’s Secret and the fragrance is called… of course it had to be called: BOMBSHELL!!! More specifically, it seems to be a fragrance line, but I didn’t know that because I never thought of Victoria’s Secret in terms of fragrances, because I was thinking of other things… you know what I mean *sigh*

Be that as it may, this is Bombshell Paris from 2016, and somehow I have the feeling it could smell really sweet, but let’s see!

The fragrance:
At first, I mainly smell quite sweet jasmine with light, powdery notes. For a very brief moment, it seems to me that there are citrus scents in the top notes, but that quickly fades away.
Over time, the fragrance becomes slightly woody, but still remains quite sweet. And it feels pretty smooth and creamy too.
Basically, the fragrance stays like this without really changing. It remains very sweet for hours and smells of jasmine, with a hint of heavier flowers in the later base, which could possibly be described as somewhat opulent. And that’s it, as I said. It stays like this until the end.

The sillage and longevity:
The sillage is good; you’ll probably be able to smell the fragrance well from a distance for a while. The longevity is very good, as it lasts over eight hours with a good projection.

The bottle:
The bottle is octagonal and has a diamond pattern worked into the glass, which makes it look quite elegant and high-quality. A red silk ribbon is tied around the neck of the bottle, which looks quite nice. It is topped with a rectangular cap with beveled edges. A beautiful bottle.

Conclusion:
Okay, the fragrance turned out to be as expected, sweet as sugar, creamy and soft like probably the skin of the models of this brand (or women in general)… yes, I say probably, where should a nerd like me get close to such a lady (or at all?!!) :D Therefore, I have no clue about anything, once again… *sigh-and-buhuhuhu* :DDD

Well, since the fragrance is quite sweet, it falls into the category of fragrances like Alien! Yesss, now no one will care about the fragrance anymore, and that’s just because you’re so silly and run away when you hear Alien. Even if you’ve had enough of the regular EDT of Alien, there are still some great Aliens that you could definitely try. But no no no, you never listen to me… ugh, it’s getting really exhausting to nag at you all the time about this, and it will probably never stop, pfffft…

But well, strictly speaking, the fragrance here isn’t that special. It smells quite nice, yes even sexy,… but you surely know a ton of such fragrances (e.g. ALIEN!!!! :D). But I find it nice and I like it when women smell like this. Even though the sweetness could have been a bit less (or less opulent in the base), especially if you want to wear the fragrance on slightly warmer days. Otherwise, it’s almost like an all-rounder, especially good for going out. But as I said, Bombshell Paris is not a must-have, so you don’t necessarily have to have tested it. You can, though… which you will surely NEVER do, right??!! Argh! :D

Okay, I think I’ve complained enough, but hey, I didn’t write anything here on May 4th, it was always Star Wars Day and … ugh, you’re long gone…

Well then, have a nice evening, see you next time :)

Newest bottles in stores (re-released possibly for "SAS") smelled mostly like a combination of orris, greenery, and synthetic white musk.

Woody, unremarkable, and much more masculine than expected.

For me, it's similar to Chance Eau Fraiche. Lightly citrusy, jasmine-like, great for hot summer days. A well-groomed scent. Beautiful bottle.
