Heavenly Eau de Parfum

Heavenly was the very first Victoria’s Secret fragrance that I ever bought, I got it when I was in high school. It’s still one of my favorite scents. I had bought it in the original bottle, but after using it up, I bought a bottle with this new design. I know some people aren’t crazy about this bottle, but personally I think it looks lovely and elegant, very appropriate for an Angel. I mean, how adorable are those little crystal wings? I saw that the bottle design has been changed yet again, and I am not a fan of the current one. At least with this second design the original fragrance is still the same, in my opinion. It’s feminine, delicate, romantic, and truly “angelic.” I can definitely smell the peony and vanilla, especially after the musk dies down. The longevity is really good, too, I don’t have to reapply it every two hours. I really hope that VS never discontinues Heavenly, even if I’m not crazy about the bottle design that’s currently in stores. This is a scent I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of.

When I first tried this perfume I really wasn't that impressed but after going about a week without any other scent I decided to try it again. Boy let me tell you what a difference it makes to not have your scent overwhelmed by any other perfume. I have now fallen in love with this perfume for ut is every bit sophisticated and feminine as Bvlgari. In fact its so close to Blv notte pour femme that I no longer grieve its been discontinued. I have worn this perfume and been complimented by men who do not like heavier or overpowering perfumes on their wives. I also wore it around a friend who swears she cannot stand perfume in general. I don't have previous versions to compare it with and I think thats a blessing since people who loved previous versions tend not to be able to separate them from the version it is now. Personally I recommend this perfume as a day wear for spring, summer and possibly fall. I also recommend it for women who's partners love to smell you but better.

It definitely has a strong clean, creamy powdery vanilla musk but to me it isn't a gourmand vanilla like, say, VLJ or Black Opium are. It has hints of soapiness and smells like a sexy vanilla ice cream cone...only not in an edible gourmand way if that even makes sense lol. Maybe like a sexy vanilla ice cream cone soap haha. Very calming, soothing, soft and gentle. Perfect night time scent to drift off into sleep on top of fluffy, heavenly clouds. Not a gourmand, not an oriental, not a floral, just a beautiful in between. Perfect VS scent. When I think of VS runway models with their beautiful gold wings and outfits I imagine them wearing this fragrance, it does match their aesthetic to me. Lol people want to be outraged over nothing. This is exactly, EXACTLY the same as dream angels heavenly. VS just realized their names were super long and stupid and shortened them (they did this for the sexy little things line too).

Heavenly EdP is a timeless masterpiece. It is essentially just amplified clean skin, clean hair. Yes it’s from VS but no it’s not basic (like so many other offerings from that brand!!) Suitable for every type of weather, season, climate. Versatile enough to compliment any attire you wear: casual, formal, work, pajamas, lingerie, sweaters, sundress, sportswear.. ..or when you are wearing nothing but your jewelry and tattoos...! This is the fragrance I most frequently reach for all throughout the year, so I reluctantly admit that it’s probably my signature. My reluctance comes from all these preconceived notions I have about VS and its “basic” shoppers lol :-P To me, Heavenly exudes classiness and fine taste. It reminds me of ballerinas in beautiful tulle and satin; soft yet strong, with otherworldly gracefulness.

I recently got my hands on this particular version and I LOVE IT. I was not around vs during the original dream angels version and from my research this one was introduced after as just heavenly then the 2019 version. I own both the 2019 and this version. Personally this one smells so much better to me. It’s a warm and clean musk, it somewhat reminds me of body by Victoria which I wish I owned in its original white bottle form (I’ve only ever smelled an empty bottle). Something about the 2019 version is just not as good, they’re very similar but also different. I wanna get another bottle of this heavenly before it becomes too hard to find.
