Bombshell Shanghai 2017

This to me is one of the best Bombshells out there. This is the first one I ever started wearing as a daily fragrance. This has the original bombshell DNA but because vanilla orchid is a base note in this one and not a middle note it's so wearable for me. I absolutely hate the smell of vanilla or anything tropical (coconut). But if those notes are base notes I don't smell them. When I wear this there is not an ounce of vanilla on my skin anywhere and that is a plus for me. But to say it's the same as the original it's just not there IMO.

This is the best smelling bombshell to me. Wanted to purchase again but can't find anywhere 😐

Smells wonderful! I love the mix of passionfruit and peony on it!

I recieved a bottle of Bombshell Shanghai as a gift and thought that it smelled like the original Bombshell, so earlier I had Bombshell on one wrist and Bombshell Shanghai on the other. Conclusion = it's totally the same fragrance in scent, sillage & longevity, so you are just getting the same thing in a different coloured bottle. I'm not saying that Bombshell isn't a nice fragrance or that the new bottle isn't attractive, but I'm a bit annoyed that VS is trying to trick people into buying the same perfume twice - especially as they've released it in the festive lead-up. I wonder how many people have bought it as a gift for someone, thinking that they've spent their money on something new for a loved one?

This is an extremely fruity and watery scent. I smell pear, but maybe that's just me. There is a distinct dishsoap vibe going on, and for me that means it smells cheaper than it is. As with all of VS fragrances, this is definitely for younger women. Glad I didn't buy the original Bombshell, as they seem to be the same fragrance. Overall I would rate VS Bombshell/Bombshell Shanghai 6/10.
