Bombshell Summer 2017

I begged my son last spring to get me this for Mother's Day and he, being the sweetie that he is, got it for me (I knew I loved it because I tested it 10 times first, I'm sure the SA's were getting a little annoyed with me, lol). I am sort of indifferent to most VS scents, Amber Romance is okay, but THIS. Is. amazing! So tropical smelling heaven! And it has pretty good lasting power too! I bought myself two body lotions that also have about two hours of noticeable scent - pretty good for lotion, and two rollerballs, did I go a little nuts, or what! The bottle is in actuality really gorgeous, much prettier than the original Bombshell and the picture above. I also found a bottle of this online for a very reasonable price. You know you love something when you buy a backup but only used a fragrance a few times with the first bottle! I know they come out with different names sometimes but please just DON'T change the formula one little bit, please, please! Edit, just snagged another of the large bottle in store just because - it was there! Now have TWO backups!

This is perfection in a bottle, especially for warmer weather but for me.... I'll wear this all year around, you see I have too many fragrances but this summer I found myself using this more than anything, I discovered this in 2018 yes it is the same as 2017 and I already stocked up! The notes are all in perfect harmony there's not too much or too little of any of them, the blackcurrant the lily and the grapefruit are mixed into the perfect smoothie. Lasting power is moderate about 4-5 hours but what to expect from victoria secret, I carry a body mist around because is THAT good. #summerobsession

This is the only Bombshell flanker that I enjoy using a lot. It definitely have the original bombshell DNA, as friends who own the original can immediately identify this. It's a more fruitier, sweeter bombshell. And being in a tropical country, this is literally made for skin under the sun! It's such a sexy scent, but I think you could really pull this off everyday if you want to. I find that a lot of my guy friends would ask what I was wearing when I had this on, it really is a bomb for anyone sitting a few meters away. Longevity is not too bad for me, about 3-5 hours when sprayed lightly.

Snagged this pretty little bottle during SAS just for the cuteness factor alone as I already have a big bottle of Bombshell Paradise. I expected it to smell the same as Paradise but this bottle / version is actually a wee bit fruitier and sweeter. The teenage daughter with a nose like a hound concurs. I also sniffed Bombshell Beach in the store and it smells a bit “saltier” than this one and Paradise but more or less the same. It’s a good one and you can’t beat the price during SAS. Fresh, juicy, clean, airy, easy to wear, a little aquatic and just perfect for summer!

I love this flankers. Its similar to the original but softer, more fruity, aquati. don't really enjoy the OG i found it cloying and it makes me nauseous. In this one the aquatic grapefruits is proeminant and I reaaaaally anjoy it. Really easy to wear for every day.:)I found the drydown a little bit mascuIine, but I like it. The performance is good. The sillage is light and the longevity on my skin is 5-6 hours.
