Fearless

Beautiful boudoir scent, my love! I agree that it is sexy and easy to wear at the same time. Black currant is playful, youthful and sweet, but iris softens this scent and adds the mysterious, seductive vibe. Powerful weapon in hands of femme fatale! I can recommend it to everyone. Unlike many VS scents, the longevity of this one is perfect indeed.

Classy & clean, yet mysterious/musky scent. You can smell the black currant & iris right away & the dry down is a sweet but also earthy/woodsy smell. Long lasting & perfect for a night out. And as the other reviews state, it's not your run of the mill Victoria Secret perfume. This one stands out.

My husband got me this and I love it. I smell black currant, florals, patchouli, vanilla, and musk. Not listed but it's what I pick up. It smells spicy. I'm super sensitive to powder but this isn't that powdery! It's just feminine and sexy.

I just won a 3.4 oz. bottle off ebay, and they also sent me the matching body lotion. So far, I've only tested the lotion, but it's lovely. Sometimes matching lotions have that waxy smell, or if they don't have that waxy/plastic/off smell, they just aren't very strong smelling. This lotion is nice, and I'm hoping the perfume is as nice. I sniffed it at the sprayer, and it is indeed nice. Hopefully, it will be as nice on my skin, and I'll update after I give it a try. I already had perfume on today, so I'll give it a try tomorrow. Oh, and LOVELY bottle too. It looks and feels heavy and classy. Update: This is indeed powdery. I don't mind having a few powdery perfumes in my collection. I'm not sure what gives it that powder scent, but it's hard for me to think of something powdery as being "Fearless". It is nice, and I can see this one being worn year round. It is rather different than a lot of VS' other scents. I find it to be somewhat plummy smelling too. Update II: There is something in this that bothers me. I wouldn't call it a scrubber, by any means, it's just that there is some note that will probably stop me from reaching for this. Maybe I'll get used to it, but as of now, I'm finding this pretty annoying to wear.

Today I found a few Victoria's Secret perfumes that are uncommon in my area. Fearless was the one I found most interesting. It developes quite differently from the minimalist list of notes. The black currant is the only listed note I notice. It's there directly at the start and stays until the drydown. I could imagine there are other fruits, too, maybe peach and blackberry. The start is very juicy, syrupy, almost a bit liquory. It's a dark fruity scent. Iris and orris don't stand out on my skin, not at all. Usually iris notes are cold and powdery to me, but this is an absolutely warm scent. On a paper strip it developes more floral and powdery, but on me it doesn't. I smell something creamy sweet here, and a base of amber and vanilla. There is a hint of powder in the drydown, but the warm kind, no cool iris. While "Fearless" isn't exactly the right word for this, I like the fragrance. It's a good everyday scent. I don't think I'd buy it, but it's very nice and not too boring.

Update June 5, 2025: I adore this fragrance. I often find myself wearing it to bed. It's sexy yet cozy and sweet. I have both the EdP and fragrance mist. The fragrance mist is slightly less dark and more sweet. Original Feb 18, 2024: Fearless offers a modern take on an iris-centered fragrance. The iris in Fearless has a confident and captivating presence, playfully intertwined with the richness and depth of black currant. To me, it is surprisingly sensual. Captivating, confident, empowering. While it leans towards fall and winter, the fruity notes make it surprisingly wearable on cooler summer nights. Just avoid anything too humid, as the sweetness might become overwhelming. - If you strongly dislike sweet, powdery fragrances, this one might not be your perfect match. However, the powderiness here is subtle and balanced by the vibrant black currant.

If a man gets near you while you're wearing this, he'll have to be fearless indeed, because this one is SEXY! I only have a few Victoria's Secret perfumes because we don't have VS in my country, so I find them online. This one was actually a gift I got for Christmas and it really was a surprise to me. Even though it only has three notes, this one smells much more complex than that. It's a really dark perfume, I don't get much of the black currant, so it's not a fruity juicy scent, it's dark and powdery. I starts with the powdery iris already and there's something dark on the base which must be the orris root. It lasts for a long time, it projects really well and, I'd say, this is a night scent. This one is a beauty, very different from all the other Victoria's Secret scents I've tried. It's sexy, dark, powdery and almost smoky. I love love love it!

This is one of Victoria's Secret more unique fragrances. I think we can all agree most of their perfumes don't have the greatest lasting quality, and all share similar DNA. This one however is different. While it has that girly-girl sweetness most of their perfumes have, it also has a white floral leaning sophistication that is truly sexy. Because of the iris on this, I find this perfume lasts on me for hours! The iris can be a bit polarizing if you over spray. The only way I wear this perfume is by layering it with Victoria's Secret Scandalous. These two perfumes came out at the same time and when layered together, truly seems like they were created to be worn together. The black currant blends these two in an incredible way- everyone around you will be asking you what you are wearing and will be shocked it's Victoria's Secret!

I had been waiting for a VS scent to kind of knock me out, in a good way for a while now. I literally sprayed this on me in store and went home and loved it so much that I hopped online and ordered the biggest bottle. I love dark berry musk scents, and if you do you may be all over this! It reminds me a lot of DKNY Delicious Night. That blackcurrant note is so jammy and delicious and ambery. This actually reminds me of the amber also found in Stella McCartney Stella (that and the gorgeous purple packaging) The iris is beautiful, smooth and powdery in this scent. It is simple, but to me smells more complex and blends beautifully with the other notes. Very satisfied with this one. (I didn't like VS Night or Dark Orchid or any of the recent "dark" flankers)but I am saying yes! to this one triumphantly.

I got a deluxe sample of this as an add-on to an order. The black currant is assertive from the top, with a powdery floral behind it that I assume is the iris While not listed, and maybe just on me, I also get amber and possibly vertiver, but this could just be the black currant playing off the darker notes of orris. It has that same 'clubby' vibe as Gucci's Guilty line, and the jammy notes really put me in mind of the Black pour femme, especially. But this is less complex and, as a result, mught be eaiser for some to wear. It also reminds me a bit of B&BW Black Amethyst.

Not your typical VS fragrance. This one borders on pushing into overwhelming territory at first. It does soften down over time, so I have to be careful not to overspray. However, it's such a lovely fragrance that can fit many situations & seasons. Laceylovesperfume was spot on with her suggestion to layer with Scandalous! This pairing softens this scent beautifully and rounds it out a bit making it more of a love than a like. I'll have to try the Sunrise Woods suggestion made by VMonster next. I'll have to try other plummy scents, too. Love the mixability.

I got to test this the other day, and I really like it! It's kind of in the same vein as their Dark Orchid, which I also really like. Fearless opens up kind of spicy and jammy and settles to be slightly sweet, powdery, and a touch earthy. It's really nice, enough that I am planning on buying a bottle sometime in the near future. It will make a great fall perfume for evenings, and I love the bottle :) This is much better than the Eau So Sexy release. Fearless has far more sex appeal that ESS. Thumbs up!

I absolutely love this fragrance.It is a sweet fruity scent, the black currant is pronounce up spray on my skin. The dry down is a light sweet powdery scent.Its beautiful. However,I do not think of fearless when I wear this perfume but rather feminine. That is what a feel like; fresh,beautiful and feminine. Sillage: moderate Longevity: 4- 5 hours. I am almost out so this semi-annual sale needs to get here already. Note: It is currently on sale for $25 on VS website. Update: cyber sale ended.

So I stumbled upon a bottle of this in my collection, with no recollection whatsoever of where it came from. It didn’t blow my mind or give me heart shaped eyes 😍, although I was expecting it to, since I like all the ingredients, specially Iris. It gave me L’extase by Nina ricci vibes minus the rose. I’ve tried over and over to like l’extase and failed. But fearless is much better. Am I in love? No! Do I hate it? No! Will I keep it? I’m thinking yes.

I bought the body lotion first and it was amazing.Unlikely any other scent I've ever smelled.Then I bought the perfume and it was so disappointing, totally different.It's a nice feminine scent though.Reminds me of Fame by Gaga.I know that almost every Vs scent is a dupe of something so if anyone knows a perfume similar to the fearless lotion - please let me know.I was sure that this could be my love, well such is life! :(

I got the rollerball of this when it first came out and I think that this is one of VS's most unique scents in their entire collection of fragrances currently sold there. I would describe this scent as a rich, deep floral and I would wear this scent at night. The lasting power is good (I honestly haven't worn this is awhile so I'm not exactly sure how many hours this perfume would last on me).

Nice but overpriced. When i first spray it, i get an expensive bubblegum smell. Soon it fades to a sweet powdery aroma. It is then more dark, mature, mysterious and inviting, but, still this perfume lacks personality to be called Fearless or to make me want to repurchase it. My husband likes it though. Sillage and longevity are moderate. Note:6/10

If you smell it just from the bottle the scent is like La Vie Est Belle but if you spray it in your wrist smells somehow different but for me is a cheap dupe for the perfume from Lancome. It is sweet and really good but is too expensive I prefer the one from Zara if I'm going to use a dupe for La Vie est Belle.

This is interesting. It's a cold/shaving cream type of iris, similar to the iris in Chanel's Misia. I think it's beautiful. I also think it's an extreme deviation from the typical Victoria's Secret perfume DNA. I'm impressed. I can see why some people love this & some people hate this. I love it.

Something about this smells exactly like walking into a Lush store. I get the black currant right away, and a light iris as it dries down. The plummy notes are strong, so I have to be careful not to overspray this. But this is a very glamorous nighttime scent!

Sweet but not overwhelming. I bought this blind with an Angel's reward. I bought the rollerball, but I will consider a larger amount when the rollerball is out!

Probably the best of the Victoria secret perfumes I’ve sampled (my Mum is a huge fan). However, after 10 years I’ve still not even used up half the bottle yet and kind of regret buying it. The spicy base notes are quite nice, but long term the mixture of sweetness and florals makes it a bit too girly for me. If it was just sweet from the berry notes I’d probably prefer it, but a lot of people seem to love the iris top note so this seems to be an unpopular opinion.

Patchouli is not listed as a note, but something in this comes off as patchouli to my nose. It is sharp and screechy to open, but it does dry down to be more wearable. It's interesting, but the longevity is abysmal.

Another one gifted to me and it's such a huge no for me, the grimace on my face when I sprayed it on my arm and I had to rubbed it off. This is not in my forté but I respect anyone who thinks otherwise because opinions exist. It's just a little old for my liking so it's going to stay in my glass closet for a long time.

I hate to be a Debbie Downer but this is a no for me!! I tested this yesterday around 4pm and I can say sillage & longevity are really good for this perfume BUT OMG the scent is just awful IMO all I get is a very heavy floral & powder mix!!! My husband said I smelled like a dusty floral funeral home!!=(

I don’t hate it and I don’t like it either.

It smells like a medicated patch.

My two cents aka 50 paragraphs on this. To me this is in the sharp, spicy, sweet-sour and often amber-heavy, deep berry-plum-iris -cyclamen-patchouli excluded see Police Sweet Girl despite its black currant- league of.... BBW Dream Bright - berries, deep sweet orchid, vanilla = Berry-like sweetness on a spicy base and a brighter side to it as if it is infused with Pure Wonder's bright amber-jasmine. BBW Ballet Nights - plum amber tonka = more gourmand than all of them and its plum gives sweet-sour raspberry vibes similar to Blush Cardigan's minus its heady violet, while it remains spicy-dark and the tonka-amber adds a praline-like sweetness. BBW Dark Kiss - plum, raspberry, incense, rose, bergamot, musk, black vanilla = Again sharp unripe dark spicy plum, but it has some more uplifting and smoother berry sweetness hence why it's giving Midnight Fantasy's goth sister. MK Twilight Shimmer - plum, red fruits, praline, oud, woodsy notes = Hoho heavy bomber right here - same sharp dark but juicy plum - some acetone-wine vibe here, but being much darker-witchy, pepppery, smokier and very woody, similar to BBW Viva Vanilla, but still darker, dungeon of a castle type of scent. Fearless - black currant, purple diamond iris - orris. The black currant of Fearless opens the fragrance fearless indeed, very bold-dynamic. It adds a sharp sour fizzy yet berry-like tone in the opening of Fearless, cold and chilling by the deep iris, and throughout I still get the sourness of it. I am not a huge fan of black currant as it tends to be too sour on me - see Beauty La Rive - Armani Si, but I tend to appreciate its spicy berry effect in some perfumes. Here it is sharper than ever as if there is amber in it. The powdery cupcake-doll Iris note here is not sweet and girly or powdery at first, but rather deep. Orris and Iris are same family and this scent is darkened by their joint powers. The iris is instantly deep like violet from the orris and very ambery-sharp by the black currant at first and also smoky-earthy by the orris root. I was tempted to let go of this perfume due to the spicy sharp black currant opening, given I have all the above to compensate for some berry or sharp medicinal plum dark spice and a woody-amber or vanilla base. I love when patchouli is absent and I get all the sharp spice from fruity unripe notes, amber etc. What I love about this, that the others don't have, and the reason I kept it, is the smoky earthy yet smooth deep scent of the orris root here - and everywhere - I love orris root. It starts off supporting the sharp amber-spice in the iris fueling it with some woody earthy qualities, but quickly it starts blooming right into the opening leading to the smoother powdery drydown. It is giving Live Irrésistible Délicieuse vibes with how the orris there is thick-warm, powdery and woody, just too much in the Delicieuse's overly warm pungent-sweet setting. Here the orris adds the much-needed depth, a 'thick' powdery velvety, subtly smoky-earthy and violet-y woodiness pairing so nicely with the sweet powdery iris. The orris unleashes a beautiful moderate warmth which intensifies and which smooths out the amber-y black currant sharpness of the opening since it is not smoky anymore. So I love the middle phase, early drydown of this perfume. The finished result on my skin is beautiful too, reminiscent of Ballet Nights a bit which has Blush Cardigan's wine-like raspberry sweetness even though Ballet Nights has plum, but must be the praline amber effect there; in Fearless the finished scent is likewise a juicy sweet like wine, cherry-like scent resulting from the iris blending with the black currant's berry-sour amber-spicy essence, while the woody smoky velvety base of the orris is still present, just not as intense anymore. I wish I had more of the thick powdery intense orris effect later into the drydown, so beautiful to me. So wait for the sharp spicy opening to smooth out because it does quickly, allowing the more feminine, sweeter yet still dark qualities of the iris and orris to shine. This is not a girly girly perfume. This is aggressive, fearless, bold, dark and mystical. It's Catwoman's perfume in my mind. I won't list Into The Night in this Fearless league as it normally had the sharp earthy patchouli spice and overly sour brighter tone to it, which deviates from the dark berry, but not straight-up peppery vibe of these perfumes. What I love about this dark plum or berry deep floral genre is the lack of dirty patchouli spice as I said. The body mist of Into The Night with the sharp jasmine-amber and berries is preferable, but the characteristic of Fearless and all the other 4 perfumes I listed is that they are much darker, resulting in smooth dark spice. I can consider Wicked Vanilla Woods in this dark amber-woody league but it is rather pink-peppery. I exclude Viva Vanilla as it is a dirty amber, smoky peppery scent without berry, plum or iris sweet darkness. A lactonic brighter side of the spicy dark berry scents is Signorina Misteriosa with the peppery earthy patch spice, that's my lady on a dark horse thru a mystical magic forest type of scent lol. Fearless on the other hand is more serious and macho.

Yeah, because it's totally possible to create a fragrance bottle that doesn't look like ANYTHING else on this planet...? it's not as faceted or chunky at Flowerbomb's bottle. If anything, it's prettier..and it doesn't reek, haha. This is nice, fresh, and a standard fruity-floral with a powdery, lush vibe. It's not earth shattering, but it definitely stands out amongst the other promotional fragrances they've released this year. 2014 has been crappy for VS, and everything has smelled the exact same.. like green apples and nonsense... but the Fall/Winter launches are always fantastic and slightly different, and Fearless is no exception. It does make me wonder though, if the people who decide the names for the fragrances have even smelled them. Eau so Sexy was the least sexy thing I've ever smelled, and there's NOTHING Fearless or confident about this perfume at all. The naming ends up being vapid and unrelated to the smell, which annoys me. Still, this is a very nice fragrance that offers something a bit different from the standard VS fare. I'll need to snag a bottle soon when I have the spare money :)

I purchased this perfume a couple of years ago at a SAS at VS and the first time I sprayed this it smelled very familiar to my nose but I couldn't place the scent. I loved the initial spray but I wasn't that crazy about the dry down so I put it in my storage drawer to preserve it. Fast forward to a couple of months ago I was doing a declutter and I sprayed a couple of scents on my wrists to just revisit and make sure I wanted to get rid of them and when I smelled the dry down again it hit me!! It smells very similar to Givenchy Hot Couture, not exact but definitely could be in a range together. I've only ever owned the EDP so Im not sure how similar it is to HC EDT . It brought back a lot of memories as I wore HC many years ago!! Sadly that scent is not my vibe anymore and neither is Fearless.

This perfume stands out from the rest of the collections from VS, usually over-the-top-sweet. But this was different. It had a fruity / powdery and slightly spicy top note. And it wears off to a powdery middle note, and lastly berry (blackcurrent) bottom note. It's a really sexy scent, but something that not everyone can carry off due to it's similarity to warm/musky scents. The lasting power was a 5 stars for it lasted all day from morning till night for me. I love how this is subtle enough for a day perfume, yet strong enough for a ladies night out. (: Packaging wise, the bottle reminds me of Jimmy Choo EDP which I have as well. In my opinion, this EDP is for ladies who wants to stand out from the overrated sweet cotton candy/floral scent. For that confident woman who knows what she wants.

Finally, something a bit different from VS-its smells like vanilla but with touch of fruit and powder. quite pleasant and definitely more "sexy" than the rest of their line(which is mostly clean and fruity smelling and as my male friend said, least sexy thing he smelled. He said he likes women to smell sexy which is not soap or bowl of fruit lol). But I digress I may get a bottle of this even though there is nothing "fearless" about it as previous reviewer said. I actually picture young glamorous woman wearing it, sexy but classy:)

I ADORE IT! I picked this bottle up and fell in love as soon as I sniffed. Mmmmmm! You know the feeling. Iris, musky, fruity sweetness. I'm sure the bottle design and choice was pure chance and probably not related to anyone intently trying to capture the "feeling" of this scent, but I think in all honesty it does! I think of a dark, juicy purple-violet plum, the mellow and fulfilling sweetness lasting, with shimmery diamond hints of musk darting throughout. This one elicits many compliments.

This one has me jumping all over the place...At first I got CK Euphoria vibe...then...blackberry..like in Eon Bond 007,and also Jimmy Choo EDT a little....so basically mix em together and that's that....which is a "good thing" IMO. It goes away from the "typical" VS girly/fruity/sweet/generic floral scents,but what does remain is...low longevity/sillage and projection..@#$%! The bottle is cool and weighty. A good,though somewhat generic scent...for everyday...it is a safe scent.

I have an old rollerball of this I'm trying to use up. This is really pretty especially once it dries down. To me it's sweet but in a dark fruit way (plum/blackcurrant) with a bit of powderiness from the iris and orris. Today I have this paired with Sunrise Woods from Bath and Body Works (creamy sandalwood, sweet berries, cozy cashmere) and it's a nice, nonfussy, sweet, soft scent for a casual day. Doesn't project much but the scent has lasted well on my hand.

I was surprised how nice this fragrance is.Yes, it's sweet but in a very dignified and feminine way. Not bubblegum and fruit punch. No, I won't wear it but I know it will be stunning on my daughter. Also, the bottle is lovely! Realistically there are just so many permutations of fragrance receptacles so who cares! For the price, it is pretty inside and out...isn't that WHY we wear fragrance? And thank goodness we don't ALL love and wear the same one!

Very light perfume but mixes well with vs very sexy night. It might work better in spring time for me. It's not a fall scent. I prefer spicier scents in fall and winter. It'd not bad but I can't see myself using this often. Especially since I have over 15 vs fragrances and 3 upscale p perfumes....this and basic instinct are not that great on me. I prefer tease cocoa sioree and tease creme cloud though for all year wear.

I might say... If you are looking for some sexy floral and started to getting bored of musky rosky vanilla kind of thing. This is another option for you. I tested it for like 2-3 times. First on a paper, very long lasting - I still can sniff on it on the third day. For the second and third time I tried, I have to say I love it. :) Will buy the biggest bottle soon!

Is this really a Victoria's Secret perfume? On my skin, this is really good with a bright fruity top note that dries down to a sexy powdery iris. Very sexy and pretty and with a much darker edge than the usual VS fare. Edited to add: Very poor longevity. So this is a good scent if you like to wear different perfumes throughout the day.

I have never encountered a Victoria's Secret fragrance that I actually enjoyed. The closest was "sexy little things", but even that I only liked because of its similarities to Ralph by Ralph Lauren. This, on the other hand, is really very nice. To the point that I'm considering buying a bottle, & I never thought that would happen.

Too sweet . It is not very dusty. I do not know whether to call woody and less spicy. I find no differences between other sweets current bombs such as Nina Ricci L'Extase, Tressor Midnight Rose ... and La Nuit, or Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb ... etc. I'm not very happy with this. But obviously, being so sweet, lasts quite....

I adore this fragrance. I took the body mist on a trip back in 2016, and from then on it’s a favorite and nostalgic. It’s a sweet combo of feminine, sexy, sweet, & appropriate for most occasions. I love the sweetness level as well! I just feel so good wearing it! Fearless you could say ;-)

my friend give me a sample to sniff, and it was instant crush. fresh and fruity. we both bought the mist version. after that i bought the whole bottle. for me its a very pleasing smell, not too strong. my husband loves this as well.

i love this perfume,i sprayed on my wrist in vs and i couldnt stop smelling it,i love it lasted at least 6 hours too. lighter than some but i dont care ,it is not over powering,i ordered a large bottle as soon as i got home.

This a unique edition from VS. it is woody, musky with gourmand notes. Reminds me of Flower bomb, and Si I recommend it for special evenings.

I do have the lotion and i layer it with floral fantasy from bath and body work , OHH MY GOdd its the most beautiful layering on your skin

As many others say, not a typical Victoria's secret scent. Very unusual, powdery and dry, with a lot of black currant peaking through.

If anyone has tried this please let me know what you think.

Just a sweeet juice , almost nothing powdery.

the bottle looks like a Flowerbomb rip-off
