I have the EDP but I prefer the body mist, it’s not as masculine smelling.
gio-gia – :
Nice perfume, but kind of soapy.
snnut – :
This fragrance first came into my radar when I smelled it on a classmate. To be honest I thought she was wearing a mans fragrance. I was so surprised when she said it’s VS Bombshell. It smells like cologne on some women, it’s not a typical fruity floral. Bombshell is almost aloof, cool, definitely mysterious. I’ve gone through two bottles in a year. It’s a summer fragrance I pick up almost daily.
Reggame – :
I have this perfume since 2014 .. whenever I wear this some people asking me what’s my perfume !!
vaylo – :
The smell is too common and everywhere nowadays.
I used to like this perfume but I can smell it everywhere.
Nice fragrance but too sweet to me.
Idiowereerurl – :
Very fruity citric tropical smell. Not really what I like, but I can picture a beach babe (blonde, tan, curvy, sexy) wearing this. I’ll stick to Heavenly from VS, that one is ethereal and not sexy at all, but it’s what I feel comfortable wearing. This one was aptly named, it’s for all the bombshells out there.
Rezus-Kam – :
I used to wear Bombshell body mist years ago like around 2011, and This year I’m obsessing over it again! Sweet fruity scent that makes you feel young and beautiful. Perfect year round. This fragrance makes me think of Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade I used to order all the time.
kapriznyi – :
The bottle suits this fragrance, but I think the name is misleading. I find this fragrance more pretty than it is seductive. Passion fruit and juicy strawberry with a very delicate peony background and a dash of lemon. A simple fruity and inoffensive scent.
olga_90_90 – :
Time for a new review as my opinion has changed, favorably so.
I’ve been an avid perfume collector for about a year and a half now, in earnest. Bombshell is one of the first scents that my better half bought for me (from the store, as part of a set).
The fragrance is 10/10. This is THE fruity-floral to which all others of it’s type aspire to emulate. She’s a modern icon.
She performs well with a moderate sillage, projection, and longevity. The value is very fair and I feel she’s somewhat underpriced, given the beauty of the fragrance and performance.
I put this in the category, for me of “must haves” as there are sometimes that literally nothing else can scratch the itch. But if you get the chance, at least give this one a sniff if you can. I love it enough to cover those who don’t. 😉
ETA: maybe I’m getting such good performance from VSBS with the help of keeping my skin VERY moisturized, a habit I’m very attentive to (particularly with things such as organic sesame and coconut oils). I highly recommend the use of either with any fragrance to help with longevity.
CAAXPA007 – :
Glad I only purchased the rollerball EDP (on sale) as the dry down turns in to ‘clean laundry’ smell on me. Nothing wrong with that if you’re doing laundry but I don’t prefer that smell on my body especially after really liking the opening of this fragrance on my skin. That scent remained for about an hour at most. Sad just sad – why does it seem to me that none of the newer fragrances lasts longer than an hour these days? I think the ‘perfume makers’ are rushing to put these new fragrances out and they don’t care about using the proper ingredients (which are probably costly) that make a fragrance last …and the costs of these new scents are not inexpensive!
rjn230Unlogrere – :
Grapefruit shampoo,uplifting!Sillage and longevity are both good. Have grown to love it!
foxmakc13666 – :
Sexy bombshell? Really? It Smells like a citrusy man’s cologne.
ind761speagoessenda – :
This is the perfect mix of Atelier Cologne’s Clementine California and Versace’s Bright Crystal. And since those two are in my top favorites of the fresh-but-sexy category, this one is also a no brainer for me. Perfect for day-to-day wear when you want to feel sexy but not overpowered with perfume. Men love this one!
beliza – :
This is a no brainer for me. It’s fresh, fruity, floral and light. It’s very likable, but nothing really unique and pretty uninspiring. Now, don’t get me wrong I do like this fragrance and use it every now and then during the summer. I wear this before work if I have errands to run, or go to the gym or visit my dad. It’s a great everyday scent, but I will not repurchase. Moreover, I’m not a fan of the name or the bottle design.
Arrariard – :
I LOVE this perfume. Out of the whole VS line (unless they’ve added something super recently). This one stands out to me. Worth the money in my opinion. Definitely try and test it first, there’s usually testers out (if I remember correctly). I’d rate this a 9/10.
Dr_liwsi – :
I really wanted to like this, but to me the scent description is far from the scent I experienced. This smelled like mens cologne on me, it just wasn’t for me. All I got out of it, was a woodsy, masculine scent.
doordNeopaype – :
Really, I was expecting more considering the name and the beautiful bottle.
Cheap, generic, sharp floral-citrusy scent. As far as essence It’s rather cold and sporty, and not fresh, fruity or sexy. Maximum 2 hours of wear. You can get better for that price.
p.s. The weather here is not exactly amazing, I’ll test it out again when it’s better but for now this is my impression.
edit: For some reason I ended up liking this perfume but still nothing fruity about it lol
tolik_c84 – :
This is my first VS fragrance. I really like it. At first it was strong(I put too much on)that I nearly choked on the smell so I showered and decided to try it again today. Still strong but not overbearing. I am new to this fragrance thing but I have a small collection already. Love how it transforms on the dry down. Less is more.
6567287 – :
I gave this to a friend after I bought Marc Jacobs Pear splash, which is a little more masculine.
igor4 – :
Bought a tester, but after a first test, I knew I needed a full glass. When I first had it, I thought it was a unique fragrance, but after half a day, it began to dawn upon me it was very similar to another perfume. After another half day, I realized it was just like Gucci Rush 2. I used up a bottle of that in the early 2000s. Nothing’s new under the sun, but it’s still pretty unique, one that draws attention, but not intrusive. Fresh, but still feminine. It’s fine from start to finish, nothing irritating about it. I’ve already purchased a 100 ml bottle. After several months of use, I found a flaw: it doesn’t last too long, even though it is edp. I would expect not to have to constantly respray for this kind of pricetag.
NeksEffem – :
Got a rollerball sample of this and I like it!
Not the type of perfume that I would consider as my signature, but something I would possibly reach out on days I cannot decide what perfume to wear. 🙂
This is a fruity feminine smell. Great for day wear since it really smells fresh and sweet.
The note that stands out for me is the pineapple. Again, I really like it!
8 out of 10 for me, since lasting power is not good and it really stays close to the skin.
acidMJK – :
This is an easy wearing perfume but dont be fooled, its a heart weakening ones 🙂 its light ,yummy and sexy. I can see why some people said its masculine, yes i noticed it too but thats why i love it. Theres nothing wrong with women wearing a bit of masculine perfume mixed with fruit cocktail. Yum.
old_tom – :
I’d describe this as the ultimate female fragrance – your typical fruity and floral mix but with freshness. It’s light and airy, fitting for the spring and summer. It’s an easy-to-wear everyday fragrance because it’s so mass appealing (which makes it a great gift) but wouldn’t be considered unique.
Deroxxxwji – :
Lovely scent, very fresh but does not stay long…
Darksantinel – :
Smells beautiful (surprisingly it reminds me Clarins Eau des Jardins), but sadly I felt a burning sensation after I ordered a rollerball size on a blind buy. Such a pity!
allandmax – :
Got this since it was on offer/sale.
Smells..quite sweet but could have been sweeter if the pineapple notes wasnt in here.My skin just couldnt agree with pineapples notes..it turns sour and synthetic smelling.(like christina aguilera and davidoff cool water)
Lucky for this, it have enough of sweet botes from other fruits as top notes to tone the pineapple down a bit.. so..yeah..bearable.. it gets better after an hour.
Xeron – :
Reminds me of Hollister “Drift” for men. Long discontinued. Would have never thought it’d be in here.
fedkinroman – :
Smells like heaven. I’d love to smell this on a woman. Pity that it only lasts a little while on the skin. I wonder if this is a marketing tactic?
FoffArozy – :
Got this as a free perfume with my VS panty purchase few years back. But I picked it based on the way it smelled on my skin, best from all others.
Based on some reviewers I opened it today to see if t will be a good protection in the hot weather, for my upcoming trip.
Opening notes are citrusy and fresh. It settles down with strawberry and passion fruit, and a bit of musk.
It reminds me of Swarovski Aura though lichi is there and here we got the passion fruit … I get no soapy/shampoo like scent other have mentioned numerous times. It’s rather a nice fresh feminine scent for a day time use. I will try it later on in the spring and summer as well. So far, so good.
I have both Curious and D&G light blue and I find no resemblance to either one. This is my second fav VS after Very sexy.
Came today to +28C but was already wearing Prada Candy.
So after a shower and temps 22C at night I applied this one and went out. I was smelling it while passingg people and thought to myself “damn everyone here smells the same” but that was actually me!! So yes it has the nice projection and it’s been 4h on me. Really like it!
anj1281 – :
Blind bought this one. My boyfriend was in dubai and he asked me what gift I wanted. I asked him to buy me something at Victoria’s secret (cos I just wanted the bag) since there is no VS in my country. He bought me a huge gift set with the EDP, body lotion and shower gel. This is my first perfume ever, this perfume got me on the perfume obsession bandwagon. I really loved it at first, it was sweet and very very fruity. I smell almost only passion fruits in this. But then the more I got to know about perfumes and smelled other perfumes, the hype about this one died down for me. I still wear it to the gym or going on a hike. But I don’t wear it on ‘special’ occasions
dfw320Unlogrere – :
Typical sweet sexy fragrance
Very nice
Hate the performance but the sexiness covers it .
Ofc not my top 5 but dif. Amazing
AlexanderKO53 – :
After hearing all the amazing reviews, I decided to go ahead and purchase this during a VS sale online. To my disappointment, it smelled very synthetic and cheap to me. I’m sure it smells differently when someone else is wearing it, but it is kind of hard for me to go throughout the day smelling it on myself. It almost reminds me of plastic. On a positive note, I heard it is a good mosquito repellent. I will keep it for the summer months. I won’t repurchase when I finish the bottle.
chess1886 – :
Wow, this was a huge fail. Smelled good on the card and the store smells good because it’s everywhere but once I put this on my skin, it turned into drugstore men’s cologne. Yuuuuck! I’ve seen a few reviews refer to this awful change but I didn’t truly appreciate just how disgusting it could be until it happened to me. And of course, it was nearly impossible to remove. Needless to say this is a big nope for me.
Emil – :
It’s a fresh fruity floral smell which is not too sharp, nice and pleasant but nothing remarkable. It’s a decent tropical fruity perfume but doesn’t last long on me. Didn’t understand why it was named Bombshell, that’s a misfit for such a tame perfume. It’s pretty but not extra ordinary.
dedmoroz – :
for the awful smell this is quite expensive. 2euros max
buhar58 – :
Completely disagree with the below review, as a guy I don’t care about the bottle since I have no intention of owning this fragrance for myself, but after testing it today I must say I would love to smell this on a woman
I’d never bothered to try any of their women’s fragrances but tried this as well as Noir Tease and Eau So Sexy and all 3 were surprisingly really nice
Genera1Zod – :
Sorry for the language but this perfume is a total shit.
No one would like it if it hadn’t been presented in a glowy sweety bottle
under the brand -VS. Well to my opinion almost all the perfumes
of these brands ( VS, bath and body works) are kind of unnecessary. Too fruity too floral. Just way too “ordinary” which would never make me sniff the air twice and ask the lady what she wears. Lack of character.
sergei012 – :
I’ve worn this for about a year now. Fresh and sexy at the same time. Lasts all day on me, which says a lot for a V S perfume.
teresaanna – :
This is a nice perfume, but nothing memorable or special either. This would be a great everyday perfume for casual or office wear in warmer months. It is citrusy and pretty. Reminds me of a perfume I had in college from Mary Kay-Embrace Happiness. It also reminds me of almost a complete dupe of Incanto’s Shine perfume (not sure which was released first?!). I read somewhere that Bombshell is a safe perfume to wear in the summertime that keeps mosquitoes away, whereas most perfumes will attract them?! So I may try this with my Bombshell perfume and see about that 🙂
velninch – :
Sweet fruity tropical flower parfum! I like it very much. The first notes I smell when I spray is passion fruit and citrus, like mandarin orange, also strawberry and grapefruit. This is delicious. Then as the parfum begins to settle on my skin is flowery smell with pink peony and orchid. The dry down is a little weird more unisex with pine tree, patchouli, oak moss and woods but they are not too bad not too strong. This perfume is clean and fresh, fruity, and floral. Is good for spring and summer good to wear with cocktail dress bikinis and casual top shorts. Wear it to the beach. Very pretty and very girly but also mature for older ladies. A good perfume for everyone.

Review update:
maybe my chemistry works really well with this perfume, but it lasts forever on my skin and on my clothes too!
I’ve been wearing different fragrances in the last few months and sadly I have to say I hardly get any complimets… 🙁
well, I wore this 3 times this week and every single time I had people (men and women) stopping me and asking me what I was wearing!
I want to add that I really love it too of course and I don’t wear it just to get compliments!
I don’t know what it is, but this makes it pretty special to me and to a lot of other people as well, so I don’t care if it smells “cheap” for someone, it still smells pretty amazing and people notice it!
Groohaxia – :
I am trying this scent, and frankly it is not living up to the name. I would expect “Bombshell” to be more of a powerhouse perfume, but this is a slightly sweet, fresh floral fragrance that turns powdery on my skin. I like it, but it’s just not very exciting.
Sillage and longevity are on the low end of moderate, and it seems to be suitable for office wear (I am at work right now).
sany150789 – :
Got this perfume this afternoon because VS had the rollerball on sale for only $5, theyre usually $18, so i couldnt pass up a deal like that. This perfume to me smells nice,fruity and clean..like a shampoo. But thats it, nothing special. In my opinion Bombshell just smells like all the other scents that VS churns out almost every week it seems like. It doesn’t last very long, so you have to keep re-applying.
black27rus – :
I like this perfume. It smells a little cold but somehow warm. Yes it does remind me of the tropics, like a bombshell in a bikini would, after all, this was named after Victoria’s Secret’s famous bras. It’s very fruity, because of the passion fruit, but has a small flowery accent to it. It’s not so fruity that it makes you smell like a high schooler, but something a woman in her early 20s would wear. It also smells sophisticated to me. However, my boyfriend, who bought this for me in a pack that also came with its two other flankers, exclaimed one day that the perfume I was wearing that day, without knowing which one it was, smelled like a household helper of his before (sorry if that sounds demeaning or that offends anyone, but we live in a country where household help still exists). Funny enough, I was wearing this perfume at that time. I believe he meant to say that the fragrance smelled cheap, so then I quipped, “wow, that’s interesting because YOU bought this hahahaha” xD After that I never wore this again. Good thing the day he said that was also the day that I finally managed to use up that bottle.
alex11815 – :
This smells on me like Atelier Clementine California. I was wasting time in a VS store smelling all the sprays and about 30 minutes after I left I noticed the similarities. Had to go back and re-smell ALL of them because I didn’t remember which one
флиртун – :
I’m surprised this does not have tuberose because it reminds me of Britney Spears Curious. Very sharp, almost masculine, synthetic floral. A co-worker was wearing this and I kept thinking it was her hairspray. It has a chemical- bug spray- hairspray feel. But strangely enough I can’t say I hate it. It reminds me of a very independent girl, who is self- sufficient, pinches her pennies (this is why she is wearing VS perfume instead of Tom Ford or Chanel or Guerlain or Bond) and doesn’t really care what anyone thinks of her. It reminds me of drunken nights on the town and day-after makeup. I have a small sized spray in my collection, I save it for days I’m in the mood for nothing in particular and I want something to last all day.
vgoll – :
i just blind bought bombshell purse spray.
all i can say is ‘Cheap’ smell.
i am sorry for bombshell lovers but my nose isn’t loving it.
i understood its not about my chemistry. my coworker uses this and everytime when i smell her bombshell i try to get away from her as fast as i can 🙁
Serega.Buslov – :
A fresh. Fruity, summery Nostalgic fragrance that reminds me of a simpler time; a young woman hanging out at the mall. I have a small bottle of this I like to sniff just for the fun of it.
Saneg – :
When I first received a sample of this, I was unimpressed. Then I read the research showing it was an effective mosquito repellent. (Researchers wanted a ‘control’, so someone in the lab had a bottle of this, and with it’s fruity-floral combo they expected it to attract them. However, it worked better than pretty much everything but DEET at repelling them instead. Guesses being that the grapefruit and possibly cedar absolute in this, both known repellents, were of higher quality than those in the cheapo drugstore sprays.)
It is true, I can slather this stuff on and it not only does it smell 10xs better than the other stuff I used, it’s pretty darn effective against mosquitoes at least. So, while NOT my first choice for a perfume, per se, it’s my first choice for outdoor events these days.
nnn444 – :
haters gonna hate…but this is one of the sexiest fragrances of women i even sniffed…long lasting…lil slutty but thats what men like….ill follow a lady around if she wears it…so light yet sillage is pwoerful…also i think of miranda kerr when i sniff this.LOVE IT…ten outta ten
dim5684dim – :
How DO you guys keep up with all these Victoria’s secret perfumes?
There seem to be about 5 billion of them and they change every week.
I went into one of their boutiques sifting through endless counters of pink bottles, trying to understand which perfumes were the main ones, which the flankers, etc.
I stumbled upon this one, and seeing as it had a single word as its name, I decided to give it a go. It smelled exactly like the other twelve I tested in there: a citrusy fruit salad with a half-hearted gesture at floralcy.
It wasn’t exactly bad or unpleasant, per se, but it felt rather like five perfumes mixed together, as though someone had blended the whole Miss Dior line into a bottle.
If you all enjoy this stuff, go for it. There are certainly more expensive and less pleasant things you could be wearing. Still… Give Diptyque or Estee Lauder a try, once in a while. You won’t be dissappointed!

***UPDATE***
Just read reviews saying that this is a mosquito repellent?!
Nice!!! Will revisit in that case. Because I do NOT like b.s.
alexbess – :
This one smells masculine to me for some reason, clean and a little floral. It is pleasant but don’t want it for my collection.
qon909speagoessenda – :
I got Bombshell from my mother, she was on vacation to Dubai and I asked her some cheap-ish perfume but she gave me this instead lol. I was expecting cloying fruity floral a la VS but no… Bombshell is much better than that. Bombshell smells fresh, citrusy, floral perfume. A little bit of sweetness but not as cloying as their body mists. It gives me confidence, comfort, and also makes me focused lol. I use it to the office and people say I smell nice. The only downside is it doesnt last very long since I live in a humid tropical country.
I’m a gourmand lover but this is an exception. I will repurchase Bombshell for sure.
aleksnov.72 – :
It smells pretty but not Bombshellish. I like it but it fades away quickly.
AlexAndreev73 – :
Actually, I will rescind what i said about the staying power. I must not have initially applied enough, but now 2 hours later I can still smell it very well. So i officially have no complaint, just love for this perfume.
Edit: one month later and I must confess… I cannot get enough of bombshell! I have been wearing it far more than any of my other fragrances. More than VS dark angel! I am obsessed! My man has caught me sniffing my wrists just because I am addicted to this smell! And to add to my initial reaction saying the longevity was weak, I was able to faintly still smell this on my wrists 8 hours later. I have been using an unscented moisturizer lately to help my scents last longer. Lingers on clothing though. A couple sprays of this beauty on your clothing and you will have this gorgeous smell all day long.
svetik00 – :
I blind bought this thinking it would smell fruity or sweet. I have a preference for sweet/fruity/floral scents. This one however, I absolutely love. It smells very clean, fresh and a bit citrusy. It does smell sexy in its own way. The only issue I have with this is that the staying power is not long at all. Not on me anyway, it’s more like an EDT. I do spritz this on my clothes so the scent lasts longer. Overall, I would buy this again.
Maximych – :
I normally avoid floral scents as i find that they can easily be cloying and headache-inducing. As such, I’ve always stayed clear of VS scents as they tend to be overly floral. So, last week i had some time to burn so i stepped into a VS store to browse.
Since i’ve been on a hunt for a current scent that was me…a signature if you will. And having bought 3 different (and expensive) scents and then promptly deciding that they were just not quite what i was looking for…You know when you just know that something is what you’ve been looking for. There’s this Eureka moment.
anyways, i digress…i stepped into the store and immediately got *hounded* by the sales assistant ( I really hate that they always do that) she led me to the newer scents..hate them all..way too floral or musky. Then i tried bombshell, it wasn’t a Eureka moment to be honest. It was just alot of alcohol on the first spritz. i dabbed it on my wrists and walked out to avoid any more hounding.
I forgot about it until about half an hour later when i got a whiff of the most amazing smell and realised that it was the Bombshell perfume. It was the perfect balance between fruity and floral without being cloying or way too flowery. Just fresh. I couldn’t stop sniffing my wrists. So beautiful.
I went home, had a shower and fell asleep. The next morning, there is was still on my wrist…a faint whiff of the most amazing fruity floral scent.
It works beautifully with my body chemistry and i’m really impressed at how well it sticks to my skin.
I disagree that it smells too young..to me, its more for the sassy confident 30-something who has the world in the palm of her hands and is proud of her vast sexual appeal. This is amazingly feminine without being too “cute” (like lolita lempicka for example). Basically, it just is without trying too hard.
I’m going to get a full bottle of this heavenly scent for sure!
baruga23 – :
This is an eau de toilette so a lighter perfume suitable for summer. Its very light and fresh with grapefruit being the note that stands out the most. It’s pretty and an easy scent to reach for for gym or work. It works more as a day scent as it doesn’t have terribly great staying power. Definitely one I would buy again but it can be a little pricy.
scooter2475 – :
i hate to say it this way but it has a synthetic component to it that i really do not like. it’s especially noticeable when compared with luxury perfumes.

Going by the name, I expected this to smell like lacy push-up bras. But instead it would have been more accurately named “Boyfriend Jeans”. It is very unisex to me. I am a fan of CK One and the like, so I bought this in the body mist and am enjoying it. It even layered well with D&G #3 L’Imperatrice that I had on my jeans from the day before.
I find the body mist in this scent comparable to an EDT. 5 hours later it is still a skin scent where it hit my arm, and can be smelled by others on my t-shirt. The body mist is plenty strong for me (I am sensitive), so I won’t be purchasing the EDP. It is a sporty, running errands, freshly showered vibe.
dmitrii8891 – :
This is just ok. All I get is a blast of generic floral and there it stays. Its boring and just like a hundred other florals with nothing to set it apart. I dont think there is anything sexy or bombshell about this scent.
boogiblerie – :
This is to die for! Citrusy sweet but nothing too bitter. It’s so fun and the longevity is pretty good for a VS scent. I mainly get grapefruit and candied fruits.
kisa62 – :
my signature scent… for a while I kind of tried not to love it as much anymore and you know why? all the reviews I was reading about VS perfumes put me off and made me think people would think I smell cheap… I tried to love more expensive perfumes, I own a few and I really like them, but none of them give me that feeling like…me! well, I’ve decided I won’t let this happen anymore as fragrances are not about price, but about the way you feel when you wear them… all that snobbery about perfumes won’t effect my choices anymore and I will feel free to wear my signature scent proudly and to feel myself and happy!
Fom154 – :
To me Bombshell smells very sharp, synthetic, soapy, and masculine. A confused jumble of scents. If ever there was an cautionary tale for not following the, “less is more” rule, this is it. At first hit it’s incredibly sharp and chemical, jarring like a bright, harsh jab of cold winter sunshine through your blinds when you’re hungover and know you need to go to work.
I can only assume it’s meant to be passionfruit—I actually prefer artificial/synthetic scents because the essential oil ones smell too round and cloying to me, but this supposed “passionfruit” just goes too far. After the initial sting of sour chemical, there is a fade to a floral/soapy smell. I think it’s the jasmine. Reminds me of those little swan shaped soaps in people’s guest bathrooms. Not unpleasant, but definitely an older lady smell. Like a celibate great-aunt or something. Dignified, possibly, but not sexy or “Bombshell”-like at all.
And then you get the woodsy/musky smell that just hangs around forever. It’s like a generic dude smell. That completely forgettable guy you went to coffee with once, what was his name? Carl? Clark? Who knows. You never called him back. Again, it’s almost stabby in its intensity. This is a very strong smell that seriously lasts. Won’t even wash off in the shower.
It’s not an unacceptable perfume when all the smells mix together, but it’s not “Bombshell” at all. It’s more, high-powered female executive, or newly bi-curious divorcée with a latent insecurity complex.
herbis – :
First minutes, it’s a citrus heaven with an Escadesque feel… then it’s nothing special, just an ordinary fruity floral blend. Not worth that rave!
Shollaweelype – :
Very very sexy and sweet. It’s fantastic.
Sictiothitata – :
i really wanted to love Bombshell cause its so popular and made for “bombshells” but i just cant bring myself to love this…i hate the passionfruit note, it is was too tangy and just too loud and ovwerwhelming…too bad…i really wanted to like this
worloc – :
I chose this today over XO Victoria and think I prefer the XO Victoria based on the sample I got that I tried when I got home. I have two bombshell variations one of which is very different and beautiful (2015 winter), the other a sweeter version of Bombshell. It’s a bit more masculine than i thought. I would say try before you buy. But I’ll wear it and see how it goes.
DALLAS21 – :
I have the body mist and it smells amazing on my skin.Citrusy only the first seconds, then it disappears and the magic happens.
I wonder if the perfume is the same as the mist?Will be wonderful if somebody can answer my question. 🙂
The scent is absolutely mood changing, so yummy and relaxing.
katinez – :
Wonderful energizing fruity, watery, fresh scent. This is the type of perfume that’s best in body spray form. A clean, citrusy body wash shampoo type of scent. Save your money and get a giant $10 bottle of body spray during one of their sales.
kosha4444 – :
I got a sample of this for free and was surprised at how much I love it! I’m generally not a huge fan of VS fragrances, most of them smell about the same to me, and usually seem amber-heavy. This one is light and pleasant, and the passion fruit gives it a tangy sourness on my skin that keeps it from being boring. I know some people smell mostly fruity and floral in this, but on me it has a surprising complexity and smells both refreshing and warm at the same time.
FamilyFavorite – :
Has anyone had a sniff of Bombshell New York? It’s a limited edition scent.
“This very rare and exclusive fragrance was recently launched with its latest store and museum opening at Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. This perfume cannot be bought anywhere else but in this location in NY. This scent has a refreshing and warm feel with notes of starfruit, twilight jasmine and Madagascar vanilla.”

Smells very immature and young. Don’t like this one at all!

Bright sour grapefruit and a shampoo floral. Online reviews claim this keep mosquitos away similar to citronella. Not my usual style but I liked it more than I thought I would. It’s a nice break from all the vanilla and berry scents. Bombshell has an almost soapy angle to it. I wore it to a job interview. And got offered the job! They probably thought I seemed wholesome or something.

A hint for those who find the EDP of this too sharp and cologne like-try it in the body mist! This is most definitely a skin chemistry thing, as I have smelled the EDP on other’s and it was amazing, why I bought it actually, but I originally fell in love with the body mist of this. It was just so fresh and fruity with lovely peony and lily of the valley floral notes and slight muskiness to ground it. I eventually shelled out for the EDP in a travel size (VS perfumes are a guilty pleasure for me, however I do wish that they were less costly than even some of my designer faves) only to find that I really did not need it. It made the grapefruit and other citrus notes to sharp on me and gave off a CK cologne like unisex vibe….it did not smell bad, exactly, and I do enjoy my CK in2u perfume, but it was just not that uber fresh, sweet and bubbly fruity cocktail of a scent that I fell so hard for.
So I am thinking of either swapping or gifting my EDP….I would rather it have a home for someone who LOVES it… someone it will smell incredible on, and I went to the only VS store in London to rebuy my precious Bombshell, in the body mist this time. Its strange…for a body mist, it has huggable sillage but the longevity surpasses a lot of celeb “EDP’s” and wears like most “EDT’s” in my possession. I wish there were an EDT of this, actually.
