Sexy Little Things Noir Tease

Such a pretty, flirty, and fun fragrance! Perfectly sweet, but not too overly so! A very pleasing fruity floral with sweet and creamy black vanilla and sandalwood, warm amber, juicy and delicious pear and mandarin orange, and sweet floral gardenia and magnolia notes! One of my all time favorites from VS and I really love the flankers too (especially Tease Temptation, Tease Creme Cloud, and Tease Candy Noir!)! An easy to wear fragrance that’s great for any occasion and any time of the year! I originally got this when it first came out as a limited edition as a set including the perfume, body lotion, and body wash! I love how using the body care increases the longevity and silage! Even with just the perfume I get all day wear and people can smell if from about an arm’s length away! I absolutely adore this original bottle design with the hot pink atomizer and fluff of black lace! Just a tip about the atomizer... if you leave it in the fragrance does evaporate through it over time, so make sure to keep the cap so you don’t lose the fragrance! I find that this smells almost identical to Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy and it’s very similar to Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Noir too!

when i was a teenager and first got this scent, i thought there was nothing sexier in the world... once i finished my bottle that i used sparingly because it was THAT special for me, i went for the Tease body mist. i remember splitting the price with a friend and walking out with my first VS purchase that i made on my own... spraying it on my hoodie to impress my crush... funnily enough, i lived in a place where Bare Vanilla was the main girl, so i felt soo unique wearing Tease... my crush was from a different city where Tease was very popular so i don't even know if it meant anything to him lol. but i think that as good as Tease body mist smells, Noir Tease smelled even better. i don't even know if they are different? Tease always seemed slightly fresher to me, almost as if it is watering down the "sexiness" i associated it with. i wore Tease the other day and i still find it really very good, it gave me a sense of nostalgia. it's just that Noir Tease hit different. maybe i was under the magical impression of my experience or the pretty bottle with a pretty atomizer. i think it's a scent i will always try to have in my collection, just for the memories of it.

Noir Tease starts out as a burst of almonds and sugar, and moves to a deep vanilla core, rounded out by pear and amber. When I first tried this, I was so drawn to it. I couldn't stop smelling it in the store, (I think the SAs thought I was crazy), and then I walked around the mall for hours sniffing my arms. I had to buy it. I love it, so I was sure my husband would say he couldn't stand it, but Victoria's Secret fragrances have that Pavlov's Dogs stimulus on my husband. Some masculine 6th sense must associate these scents with new lingerie or something. So, Noir Tease he liked immediately, and he always takes deep sniffs of my neck when I wear it. This lasts twice as long as fragrances that cost twice as much! I have it in spray, body spray, and gorgeous glitter powder. Very enjoyable, good quality, great price! I smelled Viva la Juicy based on others saying it smells like Noir Tease, but they don't smell very similar to me. Noir Tease is a gourmand-Oriental, on my skin, and it's not a scent that makes me think of girls in junior high. This is a feminine, womanly scent.

To me, this smells like a mix between Viva La Juicy and VS Pure Seduction. It doesn't have the caramel note that Viva has, and I think it's the freesia note that makes it similar to Pure Seduction. The combination of the two (the absence of the caramel note, plus the added florals) makes this scent more sophisticated than either one and it has quickly become a favorite of mine. As for longevity, I think it faded around the 5-6 hour mark, but I work in a doctor's office and I had a patient compliment me on the smell and actually pinpointed it to be Tease, and that was almost 10 hours after application. So I am very pleased with the longevity. The sillage is fairly weak in my opinion but I am a person who loves to be smelled from afar. But every so often I'll catch a whiff as I turn my head or move around a lot so that's good. Overall this is a lovely fragrance, appropriate for all ages but best suited for a young adult. If you are a fan of Viva La Juicy, try this one out and you will not be disappointed.

This is without question one of my top 5 favorite scents, and has been for years. It's not the slightest bit complex, it smells the same on me from beginning to end, but smell is so delicious who's complaining? Funny enough, I never noticed how much it does smell like viva la juicy until I read the reviews although I have both. Here's the only real downside, the price vs quality is not on point. Unless you find it on sale or on ebay somewhere it's not the cheapest fragrance around, especially considering that it's a victoria's secret fragrance, we aren't talking about some fancy perfume house here. It doesn't last long at all, whether you use the actual perfume or the body mist, even when layered with the lotion. If you use the body mist you can at least tote around and respray every few hours or so without breaking the bank. If they could make this even a couple small notches stronger/longer lasting it really would be a perfect perfume for me.
