Seduction Dark Orchid

This is nothing like CK Euphoria. It's closer to the discontinued VS Love is Heavenly. I still have VS Love is Heavenly body lotion which I pair with this VS Dark Orchid Seduction. I love the opening of this perfume and surprisingly the scent didn't change much after an hour or two. It stays. To my nose, this fragrance smells a little masculine but in feminine way. The scent is gorgeous and seductive. It reminds me of those VS models in their lingerie ignoring other people watching them while they're having fun catwalk on the center stage. I actually got this from my boyfriend as one of my birthday present -- the others are Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb and BonBon (yes, he gave me 3 fragrances because he knew I love perfumes). He loves the scent too as he thoughts - this is fresh and new, a bit different from my everyday scents, not generics, seductive and approaching. The longevity is quite impressive for a VS EDP (I hardly believe VS perfumes are long lasting, because most of the time they are not, even though they're EDP). I sprayed this at night, and wake up with this heavenly fresh scent. Silage wise is just moderate and not pungent. But I wore this to office the other day, I received many compliments from my colleagues. They said I smell powerful, seductive, confident and gorgeous. And by that, I am thinking to get myself another one or two bottle before it runs out forever from the market.

Oh my is this ever sexy! Like really super sexy as in Definitely one of the sexiest fragrances I own and I’ve got over at least 200! It’s sensual, warm, deep, dark, fruity, woody, floral, and with a subtle sweetness. The notes that stand out to me the most are plum, black currant, orchid, lily of the valley Oud, amber, cashmere wood, tonka bean, and musk! This has a sexy maturity to it that really elevates it, especially among most of the typical VS scents. It’s not mature as in the sense that makes you think of something your grandma might wear kind of fragrance, but something that doesn’t have a juvenile “tweens and teens” feel to it... not as super sweet, bright, and fruity floral like some of the more typical VS scents (don’t get me wrong, I can really enjoy some of those too!). Something that’s perfectly in between that’s deep, dark, sensual, and very sexy! I think that can be a difficult balance to find, but Seduction Dark Orchid pulls it off wonderfully! I get really excellent performance with Seduction Dark Orchid... incredible longevity (I can still smell it on me the next day!) and amazing silage! It radiates out a couple - few feet from me! I so wish VS would bring this gem back!

I just got this from my husband for my birthday. He knew I wanted this. He got me the whole shebang in a gift set. I do really love the scent of this. I layered it by doing the body wash in the shower, then applying lotion, then spritzed the EDP. Even with doing all that it isn't very strong. I even went and looked at the box to make sure it wasn't EDT instead of EDP. It just doesn't' project on me, and with this being the first time I've worn it I should be able to smell it. I was hoping this would become a favorite of with husband, but I'm betting it won't. It's not even going to be a favorite of mine if it doesn't have any sillage. Which leads me to think the longevity is going to be poor also. I'll write a follow up on that after a bit...... Update: I'm really liking this perfume. I think it is one of Victoria's Secret's best. I'm not a fan of all of their perfumes, but I do like several. This is really different to me than the rest of them. It projects and lasts a little better than most of their fragrances. I get about 4-5 hours out of several sprays. All in all, I'm glad I got it.

This is one of my favorite Victoria Secret scent and one of my fav go to night out scent. My love for Dark Orchid began in January 2014 at the semi-annual sale. I picked up a gift set which included a lotion and shower gel for $35.Before checking out I checked the perfume only to find that someone had replaced the actual perfume with a dummy bottle(lol...like really...I guess they only wanted the juice).. A sales rep got me a new set and that is when my love affair began. I ran through the set within months. I picked up a second bottle in January 2015 for $13 and the lotion orig $20 for $10 in June 2015. I always use the two together. Now,on my skin a get a mix of sweet, citrus, plum and amber. The mixture is amazing together; just the right amount of sweet, the plum and amber gives a dark and sexy vibe to the frag. It is def a seductive scent. The only problem i have with my current bottle is the atomizer. I wish the distribution was better. Overall: 8/10

Oh wow I don't even know where to start this is truly a masterpiece by VS.. It's so seductive I can't even describe it. It kind of reminds me of a darker version of scandalous... I smell it one here with the sweet raspberry but it's Smokey and chocolate too.. This is deep dark and very very sexy it oozes sex. Buy it blind and if you don't like it I'll buy it.. New staple fragrance for sure I think I'm going to order another bottle before its gone forever. This smells like nothing I've ever tried so dont go byhow people say it smells like this or that. They only thing I faintly smell is VS own scandalous edp and that's wonderful!!! How could anyone be disappointed by this warmth and femininity.. It's the perfect perfume. I'm stunned

At first I got what I could have sworn was blast of dry patchouli. Must have been the tonka and oud?? There is a dark sweetness from the currant and plum, jammy and round. There orchid is also present, which makes sense given the name. I do find Seduction Dark Orchid to be a seductive fragrance. I saw that someone below compared this to Yves St Laurent's Elle, which I adore, and I think there is a very superficial similarity between the two. Elle has a very distinct patchouli note, and I think Dark Orchid is sweeter. There are also more fruity nuances in Dark Orchid. Dark Orchid is a very good evening, statement fragrance, but it won't probably offend the person next to you either. A good solid like IMO :)

SEXY and SULTRY while sweet. I.e. Seductive. It is my favourite perfume, nothing too sharp nor too complicated, but just imagine a woman in an elegant gown winking at you... that's it. Detected lots of the orchids, wood and plum on my body. Sillage is reasonable albeit not a lot but that is suitable for this perfume, because if it is too strong it would be overly loud and sexy and not as sultry. Very long lasting. I smelled it on the test paper in my purse after like 2 weeks. It is one of the few VS scents my boyfriend finds acceptable, haha. Indeed it smells more sophisticated and expensive, but it is still playful. Couldnt help buying the 3.4 oz bottle~

I don't care much about Victoria's Secret' perfumes because although i do love sweet scents, they are way too sweet and way too "meh" scents. But then there was this semi annual sale and i got it for less then $13. I smelled it at the store and liked it, so i thought why not. I love it! Its light, but very elegant- little from everything i love-sweet, fruity and woodsy. It reminds me a lot of Black XS, i am surprised to see that is not one of the "similar" listed above. Great scent, with light silage and lasting power, but still was pleasantly surprised to find something different and interesting at VS.

I was looking for a very sexy, sophisticated and seductive perfume to wear on nights out, but I wanted a so called "night" perfumes without the strong smell that makes me think I am wearing my husband's cologne...I bought this one out of reviews... OMG....I can't believe how much I love the smell as soon as I sprayed it on. I love all the different phases. I was not expecting to love it so much! I don't think it smells like Forbidden Euphoria though (which is my signature fragrance). I love both, but Seduction Dark Orchid is for my nights out and romantique diners ;-)

I miss this queen, she was so good! I had a mini of this 10 years ago. This fragrance was a perfect evening/night smell and was strong and sultry. Id spray it in my car on a hot summer night and it would last! A great balance from the fruity top notes with the deeper base notes (I remember the amber and I guess oud and Tonka being distinct). Haven’t found something similar yet, though I get a tiny resemblance from flowerbomb Ruby Orchid.

Simply gorgeous! Dark, sweet and juicy, fresh at the same time, but in no way offensive. Can wear both day and night if you feel like it. I personally like to wear it to work at the office, and also sometimes on a night out, or to bed. Longevity is not bad, lasts 3-4 hours on my skin but I don't mind reapplying. My hubby goes crazy over it. Actually, it was a gift from him on my B-Day this year and I must say he has a very good taste :)

One word for this? Alluring. Whoa! I was not expecting to love this, but alas... There is such a dark note to this. So fabulously feminine and intricate. I was looking for something with a deep and woodsy quality that wasn't too masculine; this us it. I hope V.S. realizes they have a lasting, amazing, beautiful winner here. Smells way more expensive than it is. If you are questioning this, put it on your wrist. You won't look back!

This fragrance is really seductive! Most of all I feel the midnight orchid, plum, tonka bean, amber and cashmere wood. Likely the oud note is not intensive on me because I'm not a fan. Dark, warm, a little bit gourmand pleasantly smelling fragrance. And it doesn't smell like Forbidden Euphoria by Calvin Klein. Seduction Dark Orchid is much better. I like this fragrance.

So Dark Orchid, i have the perfume, mist and body lotion, my favorite VS buy EVER! i am not a big fan of VS scents in general cause they tend to be sweet or fruity like, but some exceptions, one of them is this! I totaly love it! I use the mist for day wear, perfume for the night and the lotion for layering Orchid and amber is what i detect by my nose and i love it :)

Just wanted to add that Caress makes a body wash called Sheer Twilight that smells almost just like Seduction Dark Orchid. I have the Victoria Secret Dark Orchid body wash to match my EDP, but I'm finding the Caress Sheer Twilight is a superb match, probably due to the strong orchid scent it has. It's even has similar packaging in purple.

Definitely very feminine fragrance, I really can't imagine men wearing it. I don't find any unisex vibe in it. Good choice for date and night, plum and orchid are very noticeable, it's deep, rich, sexy scent. Also longlasting, Dark Orchid is another interesting fragrance from VS, one of my favourites.

I would love to give a good feedback on this fragrance. This is my VS's favourite so far. It such a unique and elegant smell. I get many compliments even it doesn't last long but I like it so much. Unfortunately, its been discontinued. I'm still looking for this anywhere and I will definitely grab it.

Seduction Dark Orchid is amazing💜. I have body chemistry that super charges certain perfumes and this is one of them. I use one spray at the base of my throat and that’s it. Besides it makes people stop and ask what I’m wearing. Gorgeous and exotic. A man magnet type perfume🦋

Starts off extremely ripe and juicy, a kind of scent that just excites you. Then it settles into an extremely seductive yet shyer-than-the-top-notes body of vanilla/amber with a hint of citrus. My favorite perfume from Victoria's Secret.

I have the same scented candle so I gave a try to this fragrance. It's a wonderful scent. Not overly sweet and very elegant. It's a fruity oud and the orchid is really discreet. Sillage is subtle. Now I really want it.
