Not bad, not complex and could be a bit cloying if you overstay but hey, it is what it is and most younger men and women into your hands will enjoy this.
Caveat: this is in no way ” wicked” unless it’s a candy witch from Willy Wonka or something lol. It’s downright sweet.

I have a feeling Victoria’s Secret is discontinuing this, as it was 40% off at the store. I had to buy a 1.7 oz because I wanted it for a while. The bottle is gorgeous!
Disclaimer: To give you an idea of my tastes, Pink Sugar is my typical signature perfume, followed by Sweet Like Candy.
At first, I did not like Wicked because it came off very strong. I’m not used to freesia, sugar, or vanilla scents having such an intense opening. I wondered if there was a black pepper note or something.
Wicked ultimately fades to a beautiful, unique marshmallow-y vanilla with whispers of the top notes to keep it from smelling completely edible. The boyfriend said it smelled “like candy.”
A little of this goes a long way, as it is one of the strongest perfumes I own. I would not advise spraying it behind the ears, as that would be sensory overload and a potential migraine trigger. A spritz or two on the arm or ankle will do wonders.
For perspective, this fragrance is a bit similar to Scandalous, another discontinued VS floral-gourmand. But Scandalous is a bit lighter, fruitier, and food-y (semi-bitter raspberry liquor and peony fade to praline). Meanwhile, Wicked is a “black sugar” stick with a hint of freesia and a heavy vanilla-marshmallow center. They both have a bit of a “bite” to them (maybe the florals) so that the wearer smells like perfume, not a bakery. (Not that there is anything wrong with Delectable, Demeter, or other products that smell like food– I love them too.)

I like most of Victoria’s Secret’s perfumes, but I can’t stand this one! It’s nauseatingly sweet! I sampled it and all I could smell was an overwhelming scent of sugar. A week later I could still smell in on the sample card I sprayed it on and it still made me sick to my stomach. If really sweet scents make you nauseous, stay away from this one!

It’s hard to avoid preconceptions based on certain names. The name “Wicked” evokes certain feelings and creates certain expectations.
There’s nothing “wicked” about this. I think vanilla can be very sexy and sultry when done in specific ways, but this comes off as fluffy, sweet, vanilla sugar cookie. Innocent and cheerful.
I did like the freesia, that was a subtle note that made this scent a bit more mature. But the freesia didn’t last long.
If you like sweet gourmands, this is by no means a bad perfume. If it had been called something else, I think I would like it better.
Sillage wasn’t great but it lasted almost 5 hours on me. I didn’t have high expectations in that department, so I was pleasantly surprised.

I want this for layering purposes and it works amazing with acqua di gioia

So, my friend had this perfume and I literally fell in love. She ran out, so I went to order another one, but it is so damn expensive…. I ended up buying her the body mist and me the lotion. To be frank, the lotion smells exactly like the perfume while the body mist sadly gives off an “alcohol” smell. AS FOR the actual perfume, it smells sexy and sweet. Like being welcomed into a deep warm embrace. I absolutely adore this scent. If you enjoy deep, warm, sugary vanilla scents, go for it.
sensey72 – :
I did not like it at first because all I could smell was just straight up sugar. On the second attempt weeks later, I patiently waited and finally got rewarded. I smelled very cozy and warm vanilla blended in with sugar and soft freesia, and a touch of “spice” from something else that really made this fragrance NOT a candy-like perfume. It smells really sexy in reality. I have enjoyed it very much.
I bought the fragrance mist and the matching lotion also. The scent lasts all day on my skin. Will wait for the big sale later to stock up few more big bottles 🙂

Wicked smells amazing! Reminds me of givenchy hot couture. Smells like a baked raspberry/blackberry pie with a slight hint of vanilla. This smell makes me happy it’s perfect for winter
alina13 – :
Smelled this at the vs store the other day, and it immediately reminded me of pink sugar by Aquolina (which I HATE) but better and less cloying. However I still wouldn’t wear it though, it’s still too sweet for my taste.
dima-102010 – :
Amazing! This is my favorite scent by Victoria’s Secret! I’ve tried so many perfumes and I never fell in love with any of them until now! This is soft, cozy, sweet and sexy in one. I get mostly vanilla and brown sugar with a tiny bit of freesia thrown in. I have the body spray and it lasts a pretty good amount of time. I love to spray my hair and scarf. Perfect scent for winter! The big bottle of perfume is on my Christmas wish list!
KotV – :
So this is a very different scent from VS. To me most of their scents are boring and similar. This is sugar and creamy with a tiny bit of freesia. It is very pretty. I am on the fence as far as a rebuy tho as with all VS scents the longevity is lacking. I get maybe 4 hours & that is with the lotion and body spray layered with the perfume. Im not sure its worth all that money & time reapplying.
VS regularly puts the roller balls on sale I would suggest trying that first to test longevity on yourself. Right now they have a dual rollarball with Crush on the other end and thats actually a very nice scent & worth a try 2.

Hardly wicked. Nice soft sweet scent, nothing special, but pleasant and office safe.
max.mox – :
Wicked is powdery marshmallows and vanilla. I don’t pick up any florals at all. This is a straight-up sweet gourmand fragrance.
This is one of the quality scents that VS has produced in the past handful of years.
It does remind me of Dream Angels Forever because of the extreme powdery sweetness. However, Dream Angels Forever has blackberry, which adds a berry quality, and iris, which lends a distinct floral note. If Wicked and Dream Angels Forever were sprayed separately, one on each wrist, I could absolutely tell them apart.
The freesia that is supposedly in Wicked could be a very powdery freesia that makes up a small percentage of the parfum composition. Freesia is one of my favorite notes of all time, though. I just don’t smell it in Wicked. That is not necessarily a bad thing. Wicked smells very pleasant and indulgent to me, even without my ability to spot the floral qualities.
I can also see how some reviewers would liken Wicked to Jessica Simpson’s Fancy. Again, both are extremely sweet gourmands. Wicked is somehow deeper, though. Is there maybe a touch of musk in Wicked?
Innocent by day, sexy by night. I do consider vanillas to be “sexy” if they’re made right. Marshmallows and vanillas don’t always have to be innocent. When many women think of a sexy fragrance, they think of a Very Sexy-type scent — something deep and rich, with spice and attitude. I think Wicked could be very attractive and sexy, too. Think of vanilla extract — that deep, sweet essence. Is that not sexy? Of course it is. Men are known to be drawn to vanilla fragrances more than any other. Not sure why, but it’s science. When a lot of ladies wear Wicked, the men around them are going to be drawn to them like bees to honey. Their boyfriends are gonna love it. How sexy a perfume is also determined by how you carry it along with your attitude, personality, clothing — your “vibe”.
Longevity and sillage are moderate.
Wicked is definitely on my wishlist. Like 95% of my perfumes, I’m not going to pay retail price. But if I see a bottle for a steal, I’m grabbing it up!
mixaminsk – :
I swear this is just one of those scents that Bath and Body Works comes out with for winter just in VS packaging with a different name slapped on. With a name like Wicked, I expected something spicy and flirty, or seductive and sultry. Instead, it smells like a young girl trying to be bad but then just ends up being annoying.
All I can smell is sugar and vanilla and I almost want to agree with the reviewer who said it smells marshmallows, only to me it smells like cheap roller rink candy at a middle school skate party.

sexy easy to wear fresh floral vanilla powdery love it
lfrfh – :
I wasn’t sure when i first sampled this, since I wasn’t crazy over Crush. I went ahead and bought a bottle and LOVE it. It’s just right and very easy to wear and on me it lasts and lasts. I did buy two of the two side roller balls first -Crush/Wicked and none of which would roll. Always double check if you are getting them for a gift. The last time the clerk opened one to check if it worked and it was good that it was not a gift since it was then open so I couldn’t give it opened. This is the second time I’ve had bad luck with roller balls, so no more for me – I prefer the sprays, which I didn’t see any – just all roller balls. That is why I went ahead with the large bottle of Wicked. I am glad it turned out that I did buy the large bottle. When I tried Wicked at first, I sprayed the sample over whatever I had on that day, so was put off by it, till I tried it alone and a total difference!!!!! Layering can work but when trying a new scent be sure and try it alone first.

Candied freesia petals.
So so pretty. Magic potion. Love!
Best performance I’ve ever had from a VS fragrance! Wears for hours!
Makes me feel huggable. Smells like I wear fresh flowers in my hair and I sweat vanilla.
And the bottle!!! It’s elegant and has an awesome sprayer. The sprayer gives a thick drenching mist, not a lil unicorn fart puff.
My new fave VS frag 🙂
LEONKNYAZ – :
Very sugary sweet and vanilla. Often VS adds sweet notes, but they don’t stand out. A lot of their scents smell the same, but this one is different for them. No it’s not that original or special, but it’s not change up from the usual VS fruity florals.
Анночка – :
Tried this in store and wasn’t impressed I didn’t get “Wicked” at all. It smelled like marshmallows, very sweet and fluffy and tame. Very disappointed.
Стинт – :
LOVE! I’m obsessed with this. To me the prominent notes are vanilla and sugar, with a little freesia. It’s incredibly warm. Sweet, but not overly so. Somehow it is sexy and girl-next-door at the same time. This scent is amazing.
lexa155 – :
This to me is ‘angels forever’ with flowers. I won’t lie, yes other sweet perfumes could resemble this, too. But (to me) the addition of fressia sets it apart.
It isn’t an overwhelmingly sweet perfume due to a flower note being very present.To me freesia stands out more than vanilla and it’s awesome! The one thing I’m disappointed in is the bottle – I thought it’d have lace on it, but it doesn’t. Still good perfume, I recommend!
PS: dry down is awesome! No longer just sweet and it becomes sweet/fresh/floral perfume. And that’s when this perfume becomes amazing!
васятко – :
A very sexy easy to wear deep musky vanilla Mmmmmm. Definitely a date night fragrance (and will be really great for winter!) this is really yummy! Not fruity at all and is very different from their others fragrances I think!
I agree with another user that this smells very much like midnight shimmer by MK, just a bit less boozy which I think is good because MK’s midnight shimmer is a little too intense for me.
Wicked is very long lasting as well (the entire day for me) and pretty good sillage, one spray was plenty for me.
The bottle is also very pretty. I classic white bottle with pretty black lace etched onto it! Also it has a NORMAL SPRAYER thank goodness lol!
Babochkadasade – :
I am really surprised on this one…it smells far more rich and of quality than I was expecting. It does not have any floral accord on my skin, instead it turns into a rich brown sugar coated deep wood. It’s delicious! Very sweet as well, extreme gourmand to my nose if you like a buttery almost burnt sugar kind of scent. lovely.
I would wear this for intimate moments, it doesn’t last long and silage is not extraordinary but it’s worth it. I will definitely be picking up a bottle when I have money again.
Exquisite surprise.
UPDATE: the dry down on me turns into a beautiful dry wood, just straight up sweet wood and I love it!
Demon7068 – :
On me, the vanilla comes out full force as a top note and is quickly joined by the sugar (it doesn’t come across as brown sugar to my nose, but the white variety). Freesia comes into play some five minutes later and endures as the base note dry down, but the vanilla and sugar remain as gentle wafts around me. This reminds me of the sugar sweetness of the discontinued Pink Vacay that I should’ve bought when it was out since the prices for it now run into the ridiculous category for a VS scent. Wicked fills the space quite nicely and I will be springing for a body mist bottle of this (I have the roller ball duo with Crush on the other end). I’m also reminded of the pink jasmine accord that’s in Scandalous Dare, especially behind my ears and in the crooks of my elbows where there is more warmth than on my wrists (the freesia is more obvious on my wrists).

This smells really pretty..to me it’s smell like Fancy, but better.
togliatti141 – :
Yes! I love this! This kinda reminds me a bit of the discontinued Dream Angels Forever, but a lighter version…minus the iris. It’s really nice, I was kinda tired of the fruity florals, this is deep, but refreshing enough for year round wear. I use the lotion & body spray in the hot heat daytime, saving the EDP for special nights and get major longevity from the scent. This scent is a compliment machine! My tip is if you miss discontinued scented like Forever or the 2007 version of KVD Saint….you’ll REALLY love this!
over3sr – :
Just another Black Opium knockoff but I like it. It’s sweet but not too sweet, and not overpowering. Just a simple sugary gourmand. I don’t smell any similarity to VS crush so i dont understand why the ad states this is a new twist on that fragrance. Glad they went with a normal sprayer too and not one those annoying atomizers. Also I got a free lotion and tote at VS with purchase so overall I’m happy with it.
I had to come back and edit this review. After wearing this a few times I changed my mind and don’t like it anymore. It smells very much like the $8 VS Rush body spray in the drydown stage and has poor staying power. Rip off.
claivatty – :
This is gorgeous!! I agree with the reviewer below that this is expensive smelling, and it lasts a good 6 hours on the skin!! It’s sweet, sexy, and comforting. I absolutely love smelling this on myself, and I think this scent can be worn during any season and day or night. It’s not cloying, and it won’t bother those who are sensitive to smell, but it is something you can still smell on yourself hours after putting it on. It’s a vanilla-y perfume, but it’s different than any other vanilla-y type scents I’ve tried. Give this a sniff!! I guarantee you’ll want to add it to your collection if you enjoy sweet scents.
rusikcrasava – :
OMGosh do I love this one!! Yes VS has a tendency to release a lot of the same stuff. But on occasion they release a beatuy!! Wicked is a beauty! I will no doubt get ridiculed for this, but it smells just like Midnight Shimmer by Michael Kors on me. I had tested Wicked and several of the new Pink EDT releases last week and on my way home I was wondering what on earth smelled like Midnight Shimmer. Lo-and-behold it was Wicked. A comforting oriental vanilla. Sweet but not cloying. Simple in it’s woody vanillaness, but rich and expensive smelling. I think of a cold fall or winter evening, a woman dressed to the nines,a 1920s vibe. This is a winner in my books!

I tried this perfume the other day and it is really pure sugar. You can mix this with about any fruit or floral perfume and create a unique scent. I thought I would like this, but it turns heavy sugar scent on me and reminds me of Britney Spears Private Show without the coffee. The longevity is not bad. About 6 hours on my skin. If you like sugar scents, this is one for you.
