Secret Crush

Sweet, vanilla, powdery, coconut, lactonic, woody, champagne, effervescent, musky, fluffy, delicate, luminous, feminine, chic, sensual, seductive, flirty, charming, whimsical, enchanting, dreamy, delightful, delicious, alluring, tempting, addictive, yummy, inviting, cozy, comforting The vanilla pairs beautifully with the Chantilly cream and whipped cream that gives it a very fluffy marshmallow and whipped cream feel. The coconut milk adds a slightly tropical sweet creaminess along with the soft musk, and creamy woody scent of sandalwood. The champagne adds a lovely gentle, effervescent quality. The most prominent notes on me are the vanilla, Chantilly cream, whipped cream followed by the coconut milk and sandalwood (I do pick up on all of the notes though). Oh my goodness this is even more incredible than I’d hoped! I’m so glad I finally went ahead and ordered it! This is definitely one that I highly recommend for the vanilla and/or gourmand girlies! Even if you can’t test it, I’d say go for the blind buy as long as you enjoy these kinds of scents! Honestly, it would be hard to go wrong with this one! It’s definitely full bottle worthy imo! I’m strongly reminded of Kayali The Wedding Silk Santal, it even makes me think of Yum Boujee Marshmallow, only without the strawberry. The best way to describe this may be to say imagine a combination of Yum Boujee Marshmallow (no strawberry though) and The Wedding Silk Santal! It’s absolutely gorgeous! This feels very feminine to me, and suitable for women of any age. I think this will actually work really well throughout the whole year because even though it’s sweet, it’s kept delicate and fluffy enough as to not becalmed cloying. I think this is fitting for pretty much any occasion from casual to fancy, and including work/school. I’m also reminded at least somewhat of VS Wicked, Tease Crème Cloud, Phlur Heavy Cream, Cashmere Skin, BBW Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, JHAG Powder Love, Replica Afternoon Delight, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Kilian Princess For reference, some of my other favorite fragrances include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, The Wedding Silk Santal, Yum Pistachio Gelato, GdT Celeste, Bianco Latte, Kilian LDBS, Princess, Sunkissed Goddess, PdM Oriana, Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Guerlain Mon Guerlain, JHAG Powder Love, Summer Fridays Sunlit Vanilla, Coach Dreams Starlight, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Queen’s Caramel, Vanilla Salt, Phlur Honey Moon, Heavy Cream, Vanilla Nectar, Beach Skin, LoveShackFancy Vanilla Twirl, SDJ Summer è Amor, 62, 39, VS Vanilla Lace, BBW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Cotton Candy Clouds, Whipped Honey & Vanilla, Fireside Flurries

I was looking for a light, fluffy, linear vanilla for layering and I really like this! I will note that it smells differently on fabric than it does on skin or on paper. On fabric, I get a medicinal quality (almost a licorice note) that I wasn't expecting. The way it smells on my skin is far more similar to the way it smelled on the test strip. Intimate silage, at least average longevity. I think this would layer well with several different fragrances--I can think of at least a dozen different ways I might want to use this with other oils/lotions/fragrances. In comparison to other, similar-ish fragrances: Nebras Elixir: Elixir is more linear sweetness with a hint of amber at the base. Secret Crush is more straight vanillic. Both layer pretty well together. Philosophy Fresh Cream: no lactonic notes, but the vanilla in Secret Crush does remind me a bit of the vanilla in Fresh Cream. Also layered pretty well together. Similar projection. Phlur Heavy Cream: I get a lot of coconut in Heavy Cream; I get little to no coconut to my nose with Secret Crush. Have not tried laying these yet. Victoria Secret Tease Creme Cloud: Secret Crush brings out the vanillic notes while Creme Cloud adds some depth and longevity. I am partial to Creme Cloud so I did like layering these together. If you have the above fragrances, I still think Secret Crush is worth owning, in my opinion. Overall rating (for me): 7/10. Some points deducted for intimate silage and lack of depth in the vanilla; also, it is a bit overpriced for what it is. Still a solid fragrance!

I was underwhelmed with LoveShackFancy’s first few fragrance releases, but when I saw they launched a sweet vanilla, I had to give them another chance. And—whoa! The opening immediately reminded me of Rare by Selena Gomez for a moment, but unlike Rare, this one isn’t spicy and more sweet. Instead, it softens into a creamy, powdery dry down. This smells like a salted vanilla. And the champagne note makes this vanilla so unique. The perfume just gets yummier as the day goes on. The scent perfectly matches the bottle; angelic and ethereallll🪽 When I sprayed this at my sister’s house, she told me that every time she left and came back the next day, she'd smell this "prettyyy smell”. This is definitely a soft/close to the skin scent--not a projection beast. I guess that's kinda the pro/con to having all soft notes which I'm totally ok with because I hate when vanilla fragrances are ruined with strong spices and peppery notes... I could so see this being my wedding fragrance; it's just so pure and unique. Also the bottle is giving bridal. Side note: I love the unique 2.5 oz size —right between 1.7 and 3.4.

Literally in love! I first got a travel-size and wasn't that impressed, I could hardly smell it. I still bought a full-size bottle (the 🎀 is too cute), not thinking I'd love it but wanting to really give it a chance. And holy sh*t! It is ethereal, cozy, confection-sweet, girly. Opens with an effervescence from the champagne that is so captivating - it blew me away! That dies down relatively quickly but I still sense it in the background. As it dries down you're left with that chantilly cream, vanilla, and sandalwood. Very smooth. Coconut makes sense to my nose too but it is a gourmand coconut cream (definitely no sunscreen coconut)... Everything is kept airy and buoyant though. Very much giving ballerina pirouettes, fluffy tutus, fancy petit pastries, floating on cloud 9... One of the best releases this year. High quality gourmand - nothing synthetic-feeling. Lovely take on a vanilla+sandalwood. Not similar to This is Her! or Bare Sueded Vanilla though, definitely it's own DNA. I think the champagne note really brings something special to this composition.

Secret Crush is the milk perfume of my dreams! Yes, there’s no milk note in this nor does it smell like milk, but this is EXACTLY what I want and envision from a “milk” fragrance. It’s soft, gently sweet, creamy, cozy, delicate, & innocent. No wood. No smoke. No caramel. No fruit. Just the *vibe* of fresh, creamy, warm milk. As odd as it sounds, this gives me that same addictive and soothing type of feeling I get from smelling a newborn where you just want to keep deep inhaling! The champagne note adds a bit of fizziness, the vanilla adds a slight warmth, the coconut makes it creamy, and the chantilly cream keeps it fluffy. However, what I love most is the dry down. Full disclosure, the longevity sucks and I wish projected more, but I love it as it is. She is a quiet skin scent, perfect for bedtime and cute snuggle sessions.

Delicious. A sweet gourmand that's not too sweet. Vanilla with a generous dab of fresh cream, or maybe marshmallow cream. I enjoy this a lot and may get a full bottle (it helps also that the bottle is so cute). The chantilly cream and coconut milk don't ever turn into a straight milk cream (which is my biggest issue with chantilly cream notes) but stays sweet like a marshmallow cream. Is this earth-shaking and unique? No. Is it very sophisticated? Also no. Is it a bit overpriced for what is essentially a Victoria's Secret fragrance? Probably, yes. But is it a well balanced, fun and flirty gourmand in a market full of nauseating blends? Yes. Lovers of DBIR Ivory and any of the Victoria's Secret coconut/amber based frags will probably like this.

This is so so pretty and my favorite kind of vanilla scent. It’s definitely a more fresh, clean vanilla versus super edible, and I think that makes it more wearable for every day and every occasion. It has a decent longevity (4-5 hours) on my skin, and the projection is also not in your face, but others will tell you that you smell nice if they’re close enough. This perfume reminds me of my favorite body wash Athena Golden Vanilla, and I’m so glad I now have a perfume version of that body wash. I get a fresh slightly powdery vanilla with some sandalwood and musk in the base. I do not get any coconut. I can see this being my signature scent, and it’s an easy reach for every occasion.

Something really addictive about this. It reminds me a fair amount of Victoria Secret Tease Creme but there is something slightly warmer about Secret Crush. It's not a sophisticated scent but I find myself enjoying it immensely. It's vanilla and gourmand without the buttery/caramel/pumpkin spice candle notes that of a lot of other gourmands have, or any candylike sweetness. Instead (to my nose) it's like a simple but delicious vanilla bean ice cream. All that said, the most recent compliment from someone on this was 'wow, you smell amazing, like a cake' -- so if that isn't your vibe, probably not the scent for you.

Vanilla and sweet loving girlies, this is for us. I did a blind buy and don’t regret at all. Imagine Sweet Tooth by Sabrina Carpenter but more intense and deeper, the champagne note really adds a flirty element. It’s so sweet, sugary and feminine. I am genuinely so obsessed. It’s not harsh either but it lasts a long time on the skin!! I used this one with Burberry Her Elixir and oh my god, it has you smelling like a yummy strawberry milkshake ;) 💖 this scent is perfect.

Everyone's describing this so beautifully I don't have much to add! lol It's light, fluffy, airy and it reminds me of Disneyland. It's just fun. It's fresh and light like summer although it can be worn anytime. My bottle is new so I am hoping for it to last a little longer as it ages, although it is a good four-six hours now. Definitely an easy grab and it smells pretty and sweet. It's also youthful and upbeat and feminine. Super nice.

Cuuuute! This is adorable! I do get a weird sour note in the opening as others describe but it was gone within a few minutes and you’re left with a super cute, fluffy vanilla. I don’t think it has much lasting power which is a shame because I’ll go through the bottle I’m going to buy in no time. It’s so cute and cuddly, I forgive it for being so subtle. Going to be a good one for layering and applying over vanilla lotions.

Love this one. Expensive but beautiful. It's soft and light, a sweet creamy gourmand vanilla scent. I can definitely smell the Chantilly cream which gives it an elegant touch, and it becomes a bit more playful and bubbly because of the Champagne note. It's giving classy, sweet and creamy goodness with a freshness to it. Very nice overall.

Such a nice simple vanilla. This smells like whipped cream and vanilla, very airy and marshmallow-esque 🤍 It has a lift from the champagne and grounded w noticeable sandalwood. it smells pretty & femminie while also being yummy & gourmaund. Very easy to layer with. This is a staple for me! ☁️🍦🥛🪽🥂✨🌬️🪵

I find this a truly unique vanilla. After going through a whole sample I decided on the travel spray since I couldn’t get it out of my head. Something about how light and airy yet musky and woody it is, it adds depth to any layering combo and can easily be worn alone as it has three distinct stages

this smells soooo good, one of my favorite vanillas, BUT.... i don’t think i can justify the price :( the longevity is just not there. thankfully Le Monde Gourmand’s chai eclair/chai épicé is way cheaper and smells so similar to me. surprised i haven’t seen anyone mention this as a dupe

It’s very sweet and creamy, versatile and smells like ice cream with more mature undertones. It’s good for school or work because it’s not projecting or cloying, but it also does not have a very good silage.

This is a beautiful creamy vanilla scent with a hint of coconut and champagne. It mellows into a musky sweet sandalwood. I love this! its inoffensive and pretty!

I love the dry down of this one. Definitely a skin scent, which is good for me because there are a few folks at work that are sensitive to strong scents.

This is really sexy yet whimsical. It smells like a frozen whipped cream with some sugar crystals intertwined. Not cloying or heavy at all. Dreamy.

I get a warm toasted coconut scent from this. It’s light and creamy. I don’t get much champagne though. Lightly sweet, very easy to wear.

I loved this at first sniff. Its so dainty and fluffy. It lasted beautifully on my skin for about 6 hours. Its an intimate scent

Smells amazing the bottle is the reason I bought it 🤣 just wish it lasted longer and projected more

Layer this with Megan Thee Stallion Hot Girl Summer and Fenty Body Milk in Vanilla Flowers 10/10 🔥

A fresh coconut beautiful scent, i'm defenitely repurchasing!!

This is a lot softer and muskier than I anticipated! Its pretty, and has a clean laundry or cashmere quality to it while retaining lactonic and vanilla notes... I do get a hint of licorice and something salty on my skin, that another reviewer noted? Overall this is surprisingly grown up for a LSF fragrance! The drydown is actually amazing! After an hour or so it becomes the prettiest sugar cookie vanilla ♡ It makes a wonderful cozy but toned down gourmand (as opposed to my much more edible frags) that I could see myself reaching for on casual fall/winter days! The first hour smells like a fluffy white sweater pulled all the way down to your palms , cozied up to a windowsill to look at snow falling while you're warm in the comfort of home~ The sugar cookie scent that lingers is divine! The longer its on, the more I'm considering a full bottle~

Pretty, delicious, and about as fleeting as an actual glass of champagne in my hand. This is a very light, creamy, beautiful scent, but it has absolutely no silage or projection. If you’re after a soft, elegant skin scent in a ridiculously pretty bottle, this might be for you. It opens with a fizzy champagne note that feels crisp and sparkly, followed by the lightest vanilla whipped cream with a hint of coconut. The dry down is soft sandalwood, clean and gentle. You definitely won’t offend anyone wearing this. It’s lovely, and that bottle is genuinely to die for, but I just can’t justify the price for something this faint. Fiancé gave it a 9 out of 10 and said, “It’s very nice. A bit weak though.” And honestly, that sums it up perfectly.

This is nice! I got the travel spray and I wanted to give it a shot. Right off it's nothing super unique or special, but it smells good. It reminded me right off of Vanilla Salt by Ellis, but not the super aquatic salty vibe, a more sweet salty vibe. I had to let vanilla salt go because it was too aquatic, and I hated that because the vanilla was so realistic, and this is the more tame version and add's the champagne, that really makes this enjoyable! I've been wearing it for a few hours and I still smell it on my skin and overall really like it. I would probably go larger bottle if I got a deal on it. Deff one of the better releases!

Phlurs Heavy Cream body mist in a perfume! Very sweet & fluffy vanilla with a coconut undertone...it's pretty, but this scent profile is heavily saturating the market right now. If you have scents like Heavy Cream or VS Tease Cream Cloud,Secret Crush would be a bit redundant. It's performance and scent profile doesn't merit the price point imo. The bottle is gorgeous though!

I like the scent as much as I do most sweet vanilla scents, but for the price I would expect a bit more uniquess and longevity. Inoffensive, very wearable, and sweet, but overpriced for what it is. If you are looking for something with a similar vibe (sweet vanilla) that will last longer and also likely be a bit cheaper, I'd recommend Mod Vanilla by Arianna Grande.

I love this perfume! It has a wonderfully soft, airy, and slightly sparkling scent. On my skin, it lasts about five hours, but its sillage isn't exceptional. It really reminds me of the smell of marshmallows! In short, I think this perfume is perfect for those looking for a gourmand fragrance with a touch of vanilla, something subtle and creamy.

I thought this was such a gorgeous scent and I was so excited to own it, but wearing it, it smelled like Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows/Mochi Milk with the strangest fishy smell. It was salty and oceany and baby wipey. I hate that it doesn’t work for me because when I first smelled it I really did love it.

Love this perfume a lot! It is so powdery and very creamy. The dry down kind of smells like bare vanilla by Victoria secrets but if it was more stronger. But I got the travel size instead cause I thought 120 was too much for just a bottle. I say this is the only good scent from Loveshackfancy imo.

hmmm it's very fluffy, sweet, and coconuty. Hey that rhymed, anyways It smells good. Just good... I wouldn't pay 125+ for this scent but if I was gifted it, I would be happy.

It's fine. Nothing wildly mind-blowing. Sweet lactonic vanilla. Similar to the new Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Salt plus a watered down bianco latte DNA. Not bad. Just basic.

This is a nice fragrance, however, very light. I hope it deepens in time, if it does, I would repurchase. Reminds me of a softer wrapped in vanilla from B&BW

I wish the scent justified the price but it doesn't! I love the bottle and I love the perfume but tis just a little faint.

Like biting into meringue during cocktail hour in the summer. Pretty and nicely airy for a gourmand.

Way more coconutty and summery than I was expecting. To my nose the coconut is very prominent

Bought the travel version to try it as well as the beachy one. I had low expectations as I felt they were gonna fall in similar scent profiles like D&G flower garden collection, and other like frags w similar price points. I REALLY like this one a LOT! I don’t get any meringue nor strong vanilla or overly sweet. It’s a bit alcoholic and tried to spray further away second time around. After it settles in it’s really beautiful, not offensive, but not a skin scent either. It projects and it has beast longevity. It doesn’t set to strong vanilla until 2 hours in, but it honestly gets better every hour worn. I’ve had it on me for 10+ hours and it still smells so beautiful. I will be purchasing the FB of it and likely the beachy one too. The vanilla smells expensive too, it doesn’t have a generic department store midrange brand thing going, which I really appreciate, esp at its price point. I keep smelling my inner elbow and it’s reminiscent of some $$$$ vanilla frags I’ve tried. Well done! Update: January 21, 2026- I ended up returning my travel size and didn’t bother buying the full size, despite how much of a rave review I initially gave it. After trying it a few more times, I felt like I was wearing a high concentration of rubbing alcohol and an airy whiff of vanilla meringue. I know I over sprayed at least once hence the over alcohol vibes, but I did that cause it is in fact a very soft scent. It isn’t meant to be sprayed too much. I also think had I tried this out in the summer, it may have been better, but this turned from a like love to an ok. I will say, it doesn’t smell generic and cheap, but after testing other scents, if I wanted that slight lemony vanilla frag, I’d go with AKROs Bake, it’s not a skin scent like this one is, and is better suited for the projection I seek.

I don't really feel like this jumps out at me. I can definitely smell the coconut. But I don't really smell much else? It could be because I combined it with the Method coconut body wash so I'll give it another go with a different one. But I don't really get the cream, champagne, or anything else. It's an eh for me.

Very pretty scent -- agree with the reviewer who said it smells similar to Vanille de Tahiti minus the overt fecund slant. But this still takes a bit of a sour turn in the dry down for me and it wears very, very close to the skin. Not worth it

I want to love this and I don't know what's in it or what goes on with my nose but it smells like absolutely nothing. This is the only perfume I own I have had this problem with and I bought it in store at Sephora so I don't believe it is fake

It’s fine, non offensive. Slightly artificial coconut and sweet cream skin scent. This has very soft projection. I can see this being perfect for some people, but it’s nothing special to me...i just can’t get past the sunscreeny coconut note.

Smells very similar to tease creme cloud by victoria's secret, but worse. a lot lighter, longevity isn't long at all for the price. Also to my nose it has an underlying sour note that throws me off. I wanted to like this ):

Not a lot of coconut to my nose. Just a pretty basic vanilla lactonic fragrance. No similarity to Wedding Silk Santal. It is more like Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Milk or Replica Afternoon Delight. Hope I didn't get a fake

scent is way too thin can hardly smell it after applying to my hand. watered down boujee marshmallow without the strawberry

The champagne and vanilla mix is so good. This is sweet, slightly sugar and bubbly.

Reminds me of JHAG vanilla vibes, even with no mention of it theres a salty note or something similar to vanilla vibes (that I also didn’t like) im picking up that my nose doesn’t agree with. Not for me, overall it’s not offensive, and as others have mentioned the longevity is terrible, even though I don’t enjoy it it’s a skin scent with only a faint whisper of vanilla left after an hour.

very good chantilly cream scent. i can see why people love it; not fruity enough for me though, but a photorealistic cream.

“Chantilly Cream and Champagne accord”. For this price, I’m getting Sutter Home at best babes. Edit: I couldn’t figure out what this smells like, it’s identical to “Let Them Eat Cake” by Tokyo Milk. LTEC is a heavier and longer lasting version
