Body by Victoria 2012

The old fragrance often referred to as the Body By Victoria Perfume, is actually labelled "The Fragrance," "The Body Mist," or "The Body Lotion." The new line is considered "Body By Victoria." I do not believe that this launch will result in the discontinuation of the original fragrance, and both are being sold in VS stores currently. As for the perfume, I have not noticed any issues on longevity, although I have layered the perfume with the matching lotion every time I have worn it so far. As for comparing it to other VS perfumes, it is very different from the original "The Fragrance" in that it is not just a fresh scent. The new scent is more similar in kind to Bombshell, in that it is the common fruity/floral scent VS rolls out so often. But it does not remind me of Bombshell particularly. The orange blossom reminds me more of the Limited Edition 'Incredible Daring' that I really loved, so I think this is a nice alternate for those disappointed about that one being discontinued.

I just got this and I really love this. The advertising says it is sensual and fresh, and I find it to be both. It's probably a great summer scent, due to it's overall freshness. I'm wearing it in winter and it's nice then too. I find longevity and sillage to be about the same as most Victoria's Secret perfumes, meaning it would be nice if it wore a lot longer. I probably get a few hours off this scent before I need to reapply. I got it at the semi annual sale for 75% off, so I don't mind reapplying. I think the bottle is unique and pretty also. Plus I love that the liquid is pink. Update: I loved this so much that I actually bought a back up bottle. The longevity is a little better than I originally thought, also. This is easily one of my favorite perfumes.

To me?? This is "Cool Water" in 3D, where you can smell EVERYTHING in the water, the flowers, the plants, the pieces of wood drifting along, the flowers along the shore, the air, the piece of fruit you are munching on whilst taking the scent all in.... I LOVE IT!!!!! I am not much for Cool Water as to me it is very masculine and bland. This, however, is beautiful!!!!! xoxo

Love love love! A man I was obsessed with told me he liked this on women so of course I had to get it. And now, I love it, too!!! I smell citrus with a hint of sweet. Kind of reminds me of Bombshell forever but this is way better. Bombshell forever is a citrus bomb while this is citrus with a sweet note (not overwhelming sweetness, just a little bit of sweet)

Im not a huge fan of VS fragrances line, but this caught me off guard when i wandered in VS store just to spend a couple of min. This "Body" is totally different from typical VS fruity/powdery/sweet waters. Body is has nice fresh and sensual voile..its sexy, intriguing and uplifting. Reminds me Ferragamo's Incanto line like Shine or Heaven..

You really can't hate this perfume ! (Unless you dislike sweet citrusy scents). I love the simplicity of this perfume: its sweetness, freshness, and even the color of the fluid. They could've come up with better bottle packaging though. For those of you who love this frag, I highly recommend Mont Blanc's "Legend Pour Femme." <3

Ive been wearing this a lot (the edp) because its light and refreshing and good for the summer. A lot of males have been stopping to ask me what I wear and complimenting me, more than any other fragrance I own. its insane. This perfume is manbait pure and simple. Its just the edp, I don't get stopped with the body mist.

This fragrance is unique and sweet. It is clean and citrus. Almost an airport smell. -------------- Fragrance review 9/10

FRESH is what I pick up from this fragrant. It does smell like other perfumes I have smelled before hence it's not that unique. However, it is still a wonderful fresh clean , light, airy, fun, breezy, summery, happy fragrant. It smells slightly similar to VS London. I don't pick up any acrid or sharpness in this fragrant. Unlike many other VS fragrants that are excessively sweet, this one isn't. I find most of the Angels perfumes are more acrid and sharp compared to Body. Bombshell is a lot sweeter than Body. Tease has more of a creamy fatty undertone compared to Body. I am not sure how to describe it besides the fact that it's non offensive , refreshing, and probably easy to wear. I didn't detect any head ache. It's definitely an above average scent and could possibly become a popular fragrant. When it dries down, it has a soft natural powdery scent. I would buy it if it happens to be at the VS semi annual sale. Not sure if I would pay full price.

It appears that this fragrance is already getting discontinued... Body By Victoria is a nice fragrance, light and with slight citrus and in the opening, soft orange blossoms, and before long fades to an almost nothing light musk. Hard to make any negative comments. This is the kind of scent that would be good during hot weather, I think, because it is light and pretty refreshing. As nice as it is, that is really all it is - not great, nothing to rave about. I really don't think VS is losing a ton by removing this perfume from their lineup - it isn't unique enough to warrant the shelf space, even if it is nice enough to wear. If you are interested in trying this one out, though, buy it now while it is on major sale. I did, as I have been looking for a light frag to round out the summer day perfume wardrobe, but would not have gone out of my way to buy it at full price.

I like this latest version, but I did not like the original "Body", (now called "The Fragrance"). The original was too aquatic for me, and I don't wear aquatic well at all. This is a bright, peachy, orange-blossomy version that's delightful. If you're looking for a fresh, reasonably-priced orange blossom scent for spring, give this a try! I have it in body spray format, which lasts on skin about 4 and a half minutes. I think I'm going to buy a bottle of edp, and maybe even bath gel. This is similar to Bombshell, as others have noted, but with Bombshell I smell berries where there's orange blossom in Body. (Off topic, but was anyone else confused when Body by Burberry started competing with Body by Victoria? Personally, I think Victoria has a better Body.)

This scent is not unique at all...it smells familiar to something else in the store...maybe bombshell and something else maybe? Needless to say, I'm not impressed with this scent at all. I know this might be popular because most of my coworkers were all like "this smells so good" but I disagree. EDIT 11/20/2012: I'm starting to really like this now! It's a nice clean fruity floral scent and I feel like I can wear this anytime of the day. I might end up purchasing this if I ever finish up my sample...or if this goes in the semi annual sale :) PS: This kinda smells a little like bombshell but I like this scent better and bombshell's more of a floral scent.

I was doubting about a thumb up or down. I`ve read all the other reviews and I see you guys like this smell. Well, it`s a fresh smell, but too sweet for me. I love fresh, light, not overwhelming perfumes. This one is okay. I doubt I`ll buy it again. I have to say it`s hard for me to find a smell I like because most of pefumes smells either annoying or give me a headache. But I probably rather like this fragrance than don`t. So, thumb up here.

I can smell mostly citrus and some sharp flowers. I think this has a note of bitter grapefruit, which isn't listed, but it may be the combination of mandarin and one of the floral notes. It reminds me somewhat of Bombshell, but not really, this is a bit sweeter. I like this better than Bombshell, although I don't love it.

got this in the body mist version and I like it,its fun fruity and clean,its quite strong and has good silage and lasts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!not sure its a keeper as I like to only keep those I adore but this is yummy,think it would be perfect for warm days,shopping,chilling and going to bed as its not overpowering x,

I was given this as a gift and although I like the scent I was quite disappointed by the tackiness of the bottle. A perfume I might wear during the day in summer.

This is an ok scent. I smelled it today and I definitely like it better than the first Body fragrance, but it's nothing to write home about. Very typical of V.S.

This is a nice floral, citrusy smell. I like this because has a warm undertone eventhough floral. This smells good and would wear it as an everyday perfume.

Just wanted to let everyone know that this fragrance is still available for purchase on the VS website, along with the lotion and body spray :)

I'm sorry, but I'm laughing because this has no "body" to it whatsoever 😂 Pretty? Yes. It's a light, musky, airy, whispery type of fresh affair. A heart of shy, indistinct florals and an aquatic accord combine to create a fresh, shampoo-y tone that lasts the entire wear length before becoming a clean skin scent. It's ok. Nothing about this is remarkable, or even memorable. I finished editing this review because I smelled this yesterday...and already the scent has faded from my mind.
