I really like this version of Body By Victoria - "the fragrance". I greatly dislike the newer and now apparently discontinued version. The newer version is a bit sour on me. "The Fragrance" smells kinda sweet and kinda clean on me. I ordered the newer/discontinued version online on accident - now I have to get "the fragrance".

I got this during the semiannual sale a couple of days ago and I love it. I got the mini bottle of the body mist. Smelling it without spraying, it smells really fruity like pink grapefruit and tangerine. Once you spray it, it is certainly more floral with a small hint of fruity. It is definitely a good smelling, clean scent. It is surprisingly strong and will easily last on my skin. Great for travelling.

To me this is just a clean scent. Nothing great or bad about it.

This is better in mist as kinder and lighter to the nose compared to the edp.

Its just that this pleasant scent reminds me of scented hygiene products (sanitary towels, nappies, bathroom essentials etc) which is why i would find it difficult to wear.

I hate heavy perfume, I hate smelling like I am wearing a lot of perfume. So this is perfect for me. If you want to smell clean, crisp, fresh, then this is for you. It's my go-to fragrance during the warmer months. It's just lovely. I spray it before i leave the house and I just feel feminine and nice all day long. The bottle also evokes the scent by being sleek, clear and fresh looking. It doesn't look or smell "expensive" but that's not my goal. My goal is to smell "clean" and this does an amazing job!

It's a nice fragrant similar to PInk by VS. It s a woody musky fragrant.Top notes are mimose, mandarin orange and freesia; middle notes are peony, lily, cucumber and hiacynth; base notes are sandalwood and white musk. I think it's a very versatile fragrant for old and young. It is a fresh clean sporty scent . It does have some sharp note and will cause a headache for those sensitive to strong scent. Other than that, it's a pretty pleasant fragrant usually does not offend anyone. I find this fragrant a bit too floral and trigger migraine even though it's a pleasant smelling perfume. maybe they used too much chemicals like alcohol or aldehyde in the product. Probably a low quality perfume.

This is the BEST I have ever tried from VS. The bottle mimics the tone of the fragrance-clean, simple, fresh and no-nonsense. I bought two of the purse size sprays as I didn't want to commit to 50 dollars, but I just may! The fragrance to me is a fresh green light floral with cucumber maintaining throughout the top mid and bottoms notes. Crisp and clean and a great job done by VS,

Beautiful aroma, but unfortunately DOES NOT LAST! I will just keep this scent as something I put on right before bed after bathing. There's no use in wearing it out anywhere because after I had it on for less than an hour I literally and shockingly could no longer smell it. That is becoming the norm with VS scents. They really need to do better.

This is such a comforting scent for me. So clean, calm, and relaxing. That being said I don't really want to smell like it because it can be a little overpowering and potentially cloying. I won't repurchase it for this reason, but I will definitely enjoy the sample that I have.

This is a really nice, clean, sexy fragrance. However, I think my perception is a little different that others. I think this can be really heavy if you spray any more than once. I know it's a 'clean' fragrance, but I like wearing this in the fall/winter...not sure why. It just doesn't feel like a bright summery fragrance to me. Anyways, smell for yourself to determine, I could be totally off. Either way, I'll probably repurchase.

This is becoming my go to fragrance! It is hard to find a scent that manages to be sexy and clean at the same time, but this gets that balance perfectly! It isn't too heavy for work, isn't too basic for a night out. I really don't think they could improve on this one! Love it!

Love it!

-Sexy
-Clean
-Fresh
-Lasting power is OUTSTANDING
-floral without being TOO "flowery" (I normally dislike floral scents, I'm more into fruity or gourmand scents, but this one is an exception).

You can't go wrong with this one. And everyday, all year round, night OR day--perfect fragrance!

When I first smelled this perfume I fell in love with it! I knew right then and there that was my signiture scent. Even though it's my fav scent I only like to wear occsionially because I don't want to run out. But a little goes a long way and the smell from the lotion lasts forever to. So try it it's great I just hope they don't stop selling or I'd be sad!!

This is a crisp and sensual fragrance. I really like that it's predominantly clean, but that it is infused with sensuality. Sexy bare skin. That's what Victoria's Secret was going for and they achieved it. For days when I want to be more laid-back and fresh-smelling this works, and for feeling a little more sensual this works as well. It's not fair to just label this fragrance as a "soapy" scent just because it's cleaner and doesn't smell fruity or floral-y, not all scents have to have a floral or fruity or spicy note to be sexy or flirty. I prefer fruity-florals, but I like this fragrance and wouldn't reject it just because it isn't my normal preference.

Bleghhhhh! This stuff smells like some super strong bar of soap. Too overpowering, stings the nose. Makes me nauseous. Will not repurchase. I do like VS though so I am not going to write them off because of one stinky perfume. =]

I just received this in a fragrance sampler that I got for free, and I have to be honest and tell you something...it is one of the most cleanest, and freshest fragrances I've ever worn. I really, really like it. It may not quite reach my signature perfume of all time, but it really really is beautiful. I am really thinking about getting a full size of this perfume!

The So Sexy hair products actually smell better than this IMO... (they're supposed to have the same scent.)
I like it a lot for a fresh, clean spring/summer fragrance.

I got this as a gift and liked it at first. I loved the staying power it had - I only need to spray once and it lasted. But after a few times of wearing it I started to just hate it. The alcohol is a little strong when you spray it. This is a little too strong to wear even once in a while. I have found sometimes just smelling it gives me a headache. Definitely not an everyday scent. The bottle is a little boring which I find surprising considering everything else in VS is so fun and pretty. Would not buy or recommend.
