Very Sexy Dare

I wasn't hoping for a great scent since some time ago I bought VS giftset with 12 little perfumes and they all seemed a bit generic and boring... but boy, was I wrong. From the first spray Very Sexy Dare created a magnificent aura of blood orange and peony. One single spray lasted more than 8 hours and dried down to a beautiful musk. It started a bit masculine but sensuous at the same time. It took my heart and my nose away just like that, from the first spray. I feel slight resemblance between VSD and Crystal Noir by Versace though all the notes are different. Those fragrances are very delicate and so mysteriously intoxicating at the same time. I cannot believe they discontinue VSD! It doesn't smell like any of teen VS scents which makes it so unique. It's a fragrant crime to stop making this amazing, magical perfume. I have a feeling Very Sexy Dare lovers will start stocking up gallons of this scent for years ahead. I would too.

This scent is VERY similar to Thierry Mugler Innocent. I have Very Sexy Dare on one wrist and Innocent on the other, you can hardly tell the difference. Thing is, when I sprayed VS Dare I knew that it smelled familiar, like something I had before and so I kept thinking until it hit me. If you love Innocent, VS Dare is a great inexpensive alternative. Plus it's usually at the SAS for more than half the original price. That being said, I LOVE this scent! It smells expensive, sensual, dark yet innocent at the same time. So nice!

I usually don't like citrusy fragrances, but I absolutely love this one! As soon as I spray I get a blast of orange and it's good, delicious, juicy orange. In the dry down I get a little musk scent which is so lovely. I think I like this so much because I would never expect to have citrus and musk in the same product and the combination is delightful. I prefer to wear this in the evening or at night although it would still wear nicely during the day. Yes, I would recommend to a friend and yes I would totally buy again.

Moreish blood orange spiced with nutmeg makes for an attractive opening. Bergamot zest facilitates the reluctant emergence of a sparse bouquet, stems soaking in unsweetened pineapple juice. Very Sexy Dare is a delightful treat for my nose and a beautiful fragrance to wear. Base notes of sandal/tonka and musk nudge VSD out of semi-masculine aromatic territory into untamed sultry seductress terrain. The whole thing just thickens up and goes from WHOA to WOW! I think I'll be giving VS Dare a decent workout this Spring.

I got this as a gift. I didnt like it when I smelled the bottle, but then I sprayed some on myself and wow! its a fragrance with character. Woody and spicy its a great perfume, so different from the many florals or fruity florals out there and I am syaing that when I love Clinique Happy, Lancome Miracle, Brilliant White Diamonds, Eternity Moment and Gucci Flora. This one differes from all of them and just smells awesome.

This fragrance is a gem. It has a very different smell. The first time I ever tried it I did not like it. A year or so later I went to VS and retried it and I thought "what was I thinking. This is a masterpiece?". The smell is deep and almost strange but very pleasent. I have never smell a perfume like this one. I honestly think if purple had a scent this would be it. Very seductive.

This smells cool spicy, woody, and mildly floral. I'm not getting much citrus at all, and I'm a bit surprised to find the blood orange measuring so strongly in the pyramid. I love this scent. Its got a gentleness and a depth to it, and I don't find it masculine at all. This reminds me of a fresh clean breeze coming through a woody meadow.

Love it. Love the bottle. Love the colour. Very gorgeous.

Victoria's Secret VERY SEXY DARE opens bright, with a burst of spicy citrus, and is so aromatic that it could be a unisex scent. The fragrance however then proceeds nearly immediately--within a couple of minutes--to develop into a rather woody scent. Not at all what one might expect from VS, and even less for something with the name VERY SEXY. Maybe the DARE is to wear aftershave? No, it's not quite that aromatic, but it is pretty challenging to find florals amidst either the citrus in the opening or the woods in the drydown. The spiciness, from the nutmeg, is detectable from start to finish. The most interesting feature of VS DARE is that it opens cool but closes warm. But since the drydown comes so quickly, I would say that this is more woody than aromatic. Something like taking a quick, cold shower before running into a sauna.

this is by far the most unique out of VS fragrances which are mostly nice but generic. I got a bottle when it was on sale due to being discontinued. I don't know about floral notes but they don't come through a whole lot for me-its all about blood orange, bergamot, saldalwood and musk. Hmm, on my skin it pretty much smells like ripe juicy orange, after a while it mellows out into woodsy musk with still, lot of citrus. Very interesting and unique scent. I like to wear it layered with Orange Sapphire from BBW(also discontinued)as it compliments it perfectly. I can't say its my favorite scent but its very unique and i will give VS props for it. I could see it not selling well because of that since its bound not to appeal to most women

Peppery and nutmeg, kind of sensual but in a cool and more fresh way. I have had this bottle for so many years and it hasn't gone bad! It doesn't last long and projection is moderate. Perfect for the evening and the winter season. Something about it reminds me of CK Euphoria, not similar scents but similar vibe.

I just bought it today and used it along with Supermodel ( not layer, but spray 2 of them next to each other ) and it makes a very womanly, nice scent which is a bit glamorous, a bit classy, a bit elegant yet young. I really love this combination.

I love this perfume, but is very masculine ... However, each time I use it I keep getting compliments on the perfume. Too bad it will leave the market.

I like the fragrance, but this just has no longevity or projection on me. Great bedtime spritzer :)

nice scent on me but it has a plastic like dry down.. ^_^

The scent would be a very interesting and even sexy scent for me if there was not so much PINEAPPLE! It's not the fresh kind of pineapple-more like pineapple juice with pineapple liqueur-cloying rather than sweet-not so refreshing, as I would expect an aromatic to be. I like the herbal note (bergamot and nutmeg combined smell), and I like the tonka bean-rich base, but stickiness in perfume=yuck... I haven't tried any other Victoria's Secret fragrances in the last 2 years, I'm not anti floral fruity by any means- I would like to try more, but let me know which other VS fragrances are sticky, so I can try them last-or just bypass them altogether.

I bought the EDP because it was on sale at VS for 75% off. Now since it was so highly discounted, I knew it wasn't popular but I decided to buy it just because it was only $12. Maybe I'm just not into aromatic woody scents but this smells like a man's cologne to me. There is nothing sweet, feminine or even "sexy" about this scent. I guess I just like my fruity florals too much. This is another one I will be giving to my mom.

Ehh this scent isn't my favorite and honestly I'm not a fan of the Very Sexy line of perfumes in general. They are all too musky or just weird smelling. This one will be a pass for me.

This is very similar to Armani Code for Women. Code is less musky/woody than this. I love VSD body mist. I have found that I can mix this up w/ fruity/berry lotions, or woodsy perfumes, or vanilla shampoos and conditioners... I like to also spray gardenia on top of it. Makes for a tropical jungle sorta thing! This is a versatile body mist. I have even layered it with BBW Forever Sunshine which has a sort of tobacco leaf scent to it. In fact this is my "go to" when I'm in a hurry on my way to work, or if I have to run to the store in the morning for coffee beans and milk (pre-shower). I didn't even know this was discontinued until I read these reviews! Victoria's Secret is making a mistake if you ask me. This seemed like such a more complex and "grown up" scent than their other ones which I found to be too flowery, or boring and headache inducing. Really, I rolled my eyes at everything in that store until I finally found this little gem. If you want to know what the deal is with this one, its ALL about the BLOOD ORANGE baby! That is what I smell and that is what brings me back day after day. I am a spicy/woodsy/earthy/oriental scent type of person (Kalimantan and 02 L'air du Desert Marocain are my newest loves), and this one really jumped out and bit me. I am also a foodie, so for me, this was just spot on (though not heavy or dark like my normal orientals) light, fun, easy, pleasing, and makes me smile. It has TONKA BEAN and JASMINE too?! Heaven for sure! Needless to say, I just ordered 6 of the 8.2 oz body mists off of ebay, and may buy 6 more. I can NOT be without this. BOO & HISS to Victoria's Secret for discontinuing this. Layered with Armani Code, you get a really nice, long lasting, creamy scent that is delicious and so summery!

I have a small bottle of Very Sexy Dare I got back when it was first released. Every once in a while I pull it out again to try it because I SO want to like it. I read these reviews and think, "Maybe this time this fragrance will agree with me." Here's the thing - on other people, even on a tester strip, this fragrance is heavenly. It is so unique, fresh with a bit of spicy masculine edge, and a depth that many recent/current VS offerings lack. (And I am not hating on VS - they produce some of my favorite scents :))Unfortunately, when applied to my skin I smell pine. String me with lights and I could serve as a very nice, fragrant Christmas decoration. I don't know why, and it bothers me because I want to be able to wear it and love it. I have found that if sprayed on clothing before I put them on the pine scent is greatly diminished, but it is still there. It may just be me, but Sensuous Noir and Very Sexy Dare give off a very similar vibe for me. They do not smell the same, but to my nose they are related. Sensuous Noir actually has a pine note in it, though, where VSD does not. It has been a while since I have tried VSD, and I know my curiosity will compel me to give the fragrance another shot in the near future - that is the reason I still have it. I just can't seem to let go of the hope that it will, one day, make friends with my skin. If you can wear it, enjoy it!
