Bombshell Passion

What I own: Eau de Parfum (Sample Set - 2.66 ml & Rollerball) (9/10) This is the first rose dominated fragrance I fell in love with! I was hesitant to try it since my previous experience with rose scents weren't the best, but I'm glad I did. The black currant brings some sweetness to the florals, which helps balance it out and keep it from becoming too floral heavy. I find this scent quite sexy, but in a "delicate" way, like flowing negligees, soft pillows, and candlelight (as opposed to "fierce" sexy like fishnet, black pumps, and a bold lipstick, which I would describe the "Very Sexy" line of VS fragrances). I enjoy wearing this at night the most, but I find it versatile enough for day wear as well. Now I'm excited to take a dive into more rose fragrances in the near future. Bombshell Ranking: 1.

Bombshell Line (not including seasonal/limited edition)

This smells like juicy sweet roses. The listed accords are very accurate. For me it’s aromatic, floral, green, and fresh. I know this can be interpreted as a deeper scent but I wear this mostly going to campus because it isn’t strong at all. It lasts only a couple hours. Only the initial blast is strong with the syrupy black currant but once it settles you’re left with the scent of lingering pink flowers. People have to get really close to you in order to notice but I still love it though. It’s inoffensive and it makes me feel pretty. I don’t have to think with this one so I’ve already put quite a dent in my bottle. edit: this really is very similar to Angel Nova - my mom owns that one & I’m picking up a lotttt of similarities. This one is more of a fresh rose while Angel Nova is a tart fruitier fragrance.

So I got Passion because. Well. I’m obsessed with the bombshell line and love collecting them. Also because the bottle is simply GORGEOUS. The fragrance is so unique. It’s plum. Dark cherry. Almond and floral musk. I was worried it was almost too musky. I hate woody musky scents. But. It has enough “bombshell” florals to work. The rose florals are the base to Passion that work. This is a purely sexual fragrance. I could see this being a fragrance you spray on before a hot romantic date night or even before intimacy. Such a beautiful scent. I think will wear EXTREMELY well in cold temps and holds close to the body. Hence the wanting to be intimate. Such a stunner passion is. Very well thought out olfactory pyramid here.

For something that supposedly only has cassis, peony, and rose notes, this sure smells a lot like raspberry. (Might be from the cassis – a*k*a black currant – note.) Either way, it’s a nice evening fragrance. A deep fruity floral with decent sillage. Longevity could be better, but they do make a mist and a lotion to touch it up with. Not bad for a fragrance that’s less than $40. UPDATE: Now that I own Tresor Midnight Rose, I must agree with those who say they smell the same. Midnight Rose is more developed, but that’s to be expected comparing a Lancome fragrance to VS. Otherwise, one is definitely a dupe for the other.

This fragrance is one of my all time favorites in all of my collection. Usually VS scents are redundant for me but I love pure seduction and this one mostly. Three very simples notes in this fragrance yet it smells so unique!! I get very much a fruity punch rose smell with this with some soft musk elements. I can pick this out when I smell other people wearing it. Just simply a beautiful, feminine, long lasting fragrance! I would say any age can pull this off as well if sweet florals are your thing.
