Description
Victoria’s Secret is launching the new fragrance Victoria’s Secret Paris late November 2016, dedicated to the famous fashion event of the house and the city of Paris as “the world’s sexiest city.” This is the official fragrance of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show for 2016, a limited edition.
Victoria’s Secret Paris is announced as a festive, crisp and fresh fragrance inspired by Parisian gardens during winter and the glittery scene of the Eifel tower covered with snow. It is composed of notes of French cypress, night blooming jasmine, oakmoss and white cedar.
The face of the campaign is model Stella Maxwell. The fragrance is available as 50 ml Eau de Parfum, a mini rollerball, a 250 ml fragrant body mist and a 250 ml body lotion.

Is this the same fragrance as VS Bombshell Paris? Can’t find that perfume here…

I’m doing a side-by-side comparison of Paradiso on my left hand and Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Paris on my right hand. Two sprays each.
Honestly they are about 90% the same in the opening.
Paradiso has a touch more citrus. Paris has an extra dose of jasmine of the slightly shrill kind. It could literally be a Paradiso flanker: “Paradiso Jasmin.”
If you wait a few minutes, the jasmine in Paradiso begins to emerge and they smell even more similar. Like 95%. Now I can say Paradiso could be a flanker of Bombshell Paris: “Bombshell Paris Citrus Nights.”
If you have one, you really don’t need the other. Just pre-determine if you want a jasmine-cypress-woody blend with citrus notes or without, though there’s a slight mandarinny feeling in Bombshell Paris too and I don’t get any oakmoss at all.
They are both linear after the 1st 5 minutes so this is a short review.
I hope you guys don’t mind I’m posting this review in both pages.

Nice aromatic..cypress/moss combo,with just enough jasmine to soften it up….woodsy feeling underneath and I even get a tad of pine needles in the mix…and greenness. This scent comes off somewhat “fresh”for some reason.It does have the vibe of Ari Grande’s Frankie…but…I sense more floral in Bombshell Paris. Projection/sillage is low to moderate. This is nothing “amazing” or “wow”…but I am enjoying it !!

I wear this one as one of my night “therapeutic” fragrances for bedtime, as it is SO soothing and comforting. Coming from me, a girl who does not like “aroma”/”herbal”…scents at all in fragrance, it is a BIG deal. The cypress and night blooming jasmine here are very caressing, calming, relaxing, gentle and fresh. It is such a beautiful “green”/”woodsy” fragrance. It is definitely NOT a sweet fragrance by any mean (no fruit nor vanilla…). In my opinion, it is an underrated fragrance. I could see why some people have related it with some light men’s colognes as it has absolutely no “flirty”, “sexy” or “sensual” vibe in it, just very clean, fresh and pleasant. I enjoy it a lot along with its lotion and body mist. The scent lasts all night on me. Well done VS!

Nice cypress scent, light and subtle, good for almost all types of weather, but better for warm conditions. It does not last long and that’s the only disadvantage.

and i got my rollerball it’s so wonderful it gives warm, relaxing smell which i can’t describe it. it’s just beautiful.

Paris was launched as a seasonal perfume during winter of last year (2016) and is now relabeled as Bombshell Paris but is the same juice exactly.
This woody scent is rather dry which makes it versatile for all seasons. It’s a breath of fresh air for VS, as most of their scents rely heavily on vanilla and sweetness. The scent smells very clean and classic but modernized.
Paris works well alone as a clean woody scent but it also plays well with others. Today I am wearing Bombshell Paris with B. Balenciaga. The cedar and oakmoss from my VS scent and the sweet vegetal peas from Balenciaga are magical together. It’s a nice refreshing non-citrus scent for the hot balmy days of Summer.

I recently picked up this scent (although it was recently advertised as a new fragrance “Bombshell: Paris” with the same notes), and find it to be unique compared to Victoria Secret’s other perfumes, and not similar to others in the Bombshell line. I am surprised they advertised this as a Bombshell flanker, in fact. It is beautiful, however – with great longevity. This is definitely a unisex scent, leaning toward masculine, which I find makes this a very sexy fragrance. It’s woody with a touch of sweetness, but it’s also rich and potent and I found this one easy to overspray. It’s not a good one for warm weather, but best suited for cooler evenings. Paris is one of the best and most divergent of Victoria Secret’s typical formulations. I’m really impressed!

This scent is something special. I definitely see this being unisex(though I believe you can wearing whatever makes you happy) with crisp woodsy notes and a touch of floral with the jasmine. I absolutely love wearing this on cold winter days. Very festive and perfect for holidays.

This is very “woods-y” and very “Christmas-y”. Feminine and bright. Outdoor freshness in a bottle. A walk in the woods on a bright Spring day. Love this.

This smells like men’s cologne! When it was first released, I walked into a Victoria’s Secret to purchase something, and they had it sprayed throughout the store. The minute I walked in, I immediately thought of my husband’s Versace Eau Fraiche cologne. I love that cologne on him, but I would not want to smell like that. I was disappointed that this was so masculine-smelling since I really do enjoy some of Victoria’s Secret’s scents when I want something sweet, fruity, and flirty.

Don’t let the ingredients of the notes fool you, I couldn’t tell what it smelled like, only that it smelled fresh, strong, sharp, and good. Reminded me of White Diamonds; it’s a very powerful smell but not invasive. Only way to really know is to smell it yourself.

Smelled this perfume today when I stopped by the store, I really enjoyed it at first, smelled very light and airy and smelled very similar to all the fragrances that they sell, and kept a little paper sample of the fragrance sprayed on it. As I continued smelling through the day, it does loose a bit of the floral sense with it. It didn’t smell like anything from vs. As long as longevity, I wouldn’t know. But a very different perfume that they sell in the stores. Pleasantly surprised.
тольчик – :
A pleasant surprise; no fruits or vanilla and very little jasmine on me, unlike almost every other VS perfume that I’ve tried/owned. On me it is a clean and cold woodsy scent – the scent of a walk on a frosty morning. A perfect winter fragrance, that fits the inspiration and bottle design very well.
It is a close-to-the-skin fragrance, and it has a “meh” longevity, which is a shame. However I still reccomend trying it out if you enjoy clean fragrances, as it makes a lovely daytime perfume, and can be layered with smokier perfumes for the evening (I have a bottle of VS Secret 33 that is perfect for layering purposes).
Deroxjltkq – :
Overall a very underwhelming scent from Victoria’s Secret. I was pleasantly surprised by Intense but this dips back into mediocre territory. Sounds like it would smell pretty woody but unfortunately this is not so. Mostly I smelled a synthetic clean generic jasmine. No longevity or throw. I dunno I’m probably spoiled by my other scents that smell like real wood and real jasmine…

Bombshell Paris was a nice surprise. I didn’t expect much. I smelled it in the VS store, so there were other fragrances in the air swirling around. But, my overall impression was a sparkling, airy, crisp scent. You can pick up the aromatic cypress very well.
I could have sworn there was freesia in this one. I would have thought freesia played a major part, but the notes don’t list it.
I would see it as more of a spring scent than a winter one. I tend to collect the older VS fragrances (pre-2010), but this one I think I may buy.
