Very Sexy Now 2014

OH. MY. GOODNESS. I purchase about 2 blind buy perfumes per week all year round, and this is one of the most successful blind buys I've had in probably 3 months or more. This is BEAUTIFUL!! I bought and received the 2016 version about 1 month before buying this beauty and I have to say...this one is even better. The 2016 version is a strong like for me but this is a definite love! 2016 version = a juicy, "wet" sort of coconut fragrance with a slight beachy/sandy aspect to it. This 2014 version = A sweeter, dreamy, SO MILKY take on it. It's still summery but reminds me more of an actual milky, sweet coconut and less of the actual beach. I must say it...this one is better. So good. It's SO good. I own probably...15-20 fragrances where coconut is a major player and this, along with Versace Crystal Noir have to be the best two that I have. I'm obsessed. Coconut scents tend to last really long on me and project like monsters on it. My oily skin mixed with any fragrance that has coconut as a big component just seem to team up so well and create a beast performance. Longevity - I get 7-8 hours with this easily. Projection - 5-6 feet. Monstrous. And yet, it still manages to not become cloying or, annoyingly loud. It projects so well, but remains so pretty and crowd pleasing. (Very rare in fragrances these days.) Scent Itself - 10/10 Overall Rating - I must say, this one gets a 9 or a 10 from me. I almost never will even purchase a fragrance that is 50ml unless I'm left no choice (and DEFF never pay $50 for a 50ml bottle like I did with this one) but I must say...in this case, it was worth every penny. This is just down right beautiful. Must stock up before there's none left. All coconut lovers, NO QUESTIONS, JUST GO OUT AND BUY THIS! IT'S THAT GOOD!!

(This review is a comparison between the 2014 and 2016 version) Very Sexy Now 2014 is a beautiful golden coconut fragrance crowned with garlands of fresh Gardenias. This version is a bit more floral than its older sister (Very Sexy Now 2016) and not as beach-y, however she’s still a warm tropical scent that is versatile year-round and for all occasions. VSN starts off much like the 2016 version sans lotus and hot sand. Instead you are enveloped with fresh florals and a hint of quince; this brightens into a warm coconut accord that underlies a bouquet of orchids and gardenia. This is actually my favorite gardenia note in a perfume: white, dewy, and very island fresh. I think VSN’s coconut is the perfect background to its flowers center stage, it’s not synthetic nor overwhelming like most coconut fragrances, this one is done just right with a very subtle amount to give character. Overall both perfumes are well done, they are weak in performance and the longevity is not great (even the EDP is skin soft) but I think these fragrances work so well because they aren’t heavy hitters, the coconut and sands would become too synthetic and messy otherwise. If I would have to pick between the two I would certainly choose VSN 2014; it’s white florals, beach, and suntan lotion all in one bottle. It’s never cloying despite my obsessive spraying, can be worn day or night and is perfect whether you are having lunch with girlfriends or lazing around the house. In my opinion these are great fragrances by Victoria’s Secret, and both should be considered if you’re longing for the essence of summer. Vienna.Pink

I have very sexy now bottles 2014-2018(beach,palm) and the 2011 very sexy summer edition. This wasn't my favorite at first, since gardenia tends to be overly strong on me. But it's the one I now use the most and the scent lasts the longest so I'll only leave a review for this one since in my opinion it's the best. I'm sad this one is limited. It's like a creamy coconut. In comparison 2015 has cumber and a light scent that my daughter compared to a snow cone truck. 2016 smells somewhat sophisticated for a tropical scent, but wasn't as memorable to me. 2017 was very sweet floral(Maui) smell but the scent didn't hold long and 2018(beach)smelled like suntan lotion (which I also quickly used up) and palm didn't hold any longevity for me. 2011 summer edition is very apple and I agree with another user that it smells like green jolly rancher. I have not found anything comparable to replace my 2014 bottle still. I recently tried the bombshell summer editions for 2025 and was somewhat disappointed. [I'm a fan of collecting perfume, not a perfume connoisseur. I love sweet, citrusy, floral scents best. Some expensive scents give me headaches or rashes. My kids give me the most honest opinions on smells and I will share my honest opinion. In search of something with longer sillage comparable to favorites. Recommendations welcome.]

I just got this and I paid full price, which for me is really saying something. I think it's perfect for summer, but I'm sure I'll also wear it in the winter. It does have that coconut, beach type smell that I really enjoy. It's not super strong, but it was noticeable enough for me to buy it, unlike Pink Vacay that I may take back because it's so weak. This perfume almost reminds me of Jessica Simpson's Fancy Love or Taylor Swift's Taylor, just toned down a lot. I'm liking it, and may have to end up getting the matching lotion. The bottle is heavy and pretty too. Even my 18 year old daughter liked this one, and she isn't big into perfumes like I am. Update: The more I've worn this, the more I love it. It's a great summer perfume, but could be worn year round. My first bottle did leak around the sprayer, causing the gold paint to peel and flake off. I exchanged it, but I saw a tester at the store where this had happened too, so it will probably happen again. The perfume is truly nice though. If I see it at the SAS I'm going to buy a back up.

Coconut is always a very special and particular kind of scent... either u love it or u cannot stand it! So if u love coconut yes u r going to love this fragrance it's like "a different shade of coconut" ... this one is so cute so happy so feminine and so airy and light that it becomes ideal for the hottest HOTTEST summer day. Sillage and longevity are pretty mild but that is the good thing about summer fragrances. Why would someone wear a heavier scent for the summer?? Respect other people and do not impose your heavy perfume on them. Wearing a light fragrance is actually polite. Perfumes should be detectable to your significant other when he comes near and not to the whole bus or street! ! Hooray for victoria's secret wonderful fragrance very sexy now 2014

I bought a sports bra at VS today and they gave me a very pretty purse spray of this. It's really lovely! A nice sweet white floral and coconut scent. I could choose between any of the Very Sexy Now incarnations and this one was the most sophisticated of the bunch. The other two versions were straight up suntan lotion scents with lots of heavy coconut and some citrus. This little beauty doesn't have the citrus and the coconut it wispy and balanced by pretty florals. This is actually what I hoped Bronze Goddess was going to smell like when I bought it and it's matching lotion blind, but instead got beaten over the head with its sharp vetiver drydown. This may be my new favorite coconut scent.

VSN '14 is a sweet creamy coconut with floral and citrus notes. Not foody, yet it is somewhat sweet. If you're after suntan lotion this isn't quite that either, but the gardenia and coconut do smell great & definitely has a summer, beach babe vibe. I like softer more subtle scents so this is perfect because it's not loud or obnoxious. I don't want to be smelling like fake coconut, just want a light hint of it every now and then. The dry down is amazing and sexy. I'm very glad I blind bought this as it has become a favorite. Just wish it wasn't discontinued!

This is available again at VS, for some reason. I'd thought it was limited edition 2014, but they've brought it back. It's wonderful stuff, and I get great longevity out of it. It's quite similar to the 2016 Very Sexy Now, only I think the 2014 version is better. I'm glad I can now buy a back up bottle!

So beautiful. I love this scent. It's mostly coconut for sure, but in a wonderfully dreamy way. It must be the gardenia that smoothes it all out because to me the coconut smells very creamy. It's lovely. Longevity is good. Sillage is not huge but it's beautiful and I wish it wasn't LE!

A very lovely, warm & captivating scent! Love the bottle too. Bought this for future use since this is 2014 edition coz i was so afraid it'd be sold out...Luv luv luv though the price is super expensive for 50ml. not a fan of coconut scent but this one is so irresistably hot & sexy.

I adore this! It truly is the best coconut scent that I've ever experienced! I just bought a bottle, but next week when I get paid again I think I'll buy another!

The perfect summer/night perfume. It hits every single mark, nobody does coconut like VS. This is a warm floral coconut bomb. Just luscious.

Creamy coconut and gardenia. Like a light, summer version of Versace's Crystal Noir.

I love this as a fun beach day fragrance. Sadly, it just doesn't last long on me.

beautiful baby, in the drydown it really smells incredibly similar to yara

This coconut smell reminds me of beach, sun and calms

I fell in love with this VSN 2014 when I was at Victoria's Secret shopping the 'buy a bra and panty and get a free perfume' sale. I was originally planning on grabbing the newest VSN 2016 scent but it was sold out. I tested this after being told it contained similar notes and I instantly fell in love! I sprayed some on my arm and let me say that the scent stayed on that spot until I went to bed. I woke up the next morning and still faintly smelled the perfume where I had sprayed it. The scent changes slowly and becomes a creamy and perfect coconut. It's floral and pretty, warm at first and as the day progresses, it becomes more musky and sensual which I absolutely love. I might just love the worn-in, 7-hour mark stage just as much as I love the first spritz. This is one for the signature books for me. I feel like a bronzed Summer goddess in this. It is the perfect amount of sweet, not overdone to the point you feel like a little girl in a candy shop. It's a subdued floral type of sweet with a shy coconut scent that doesn't overpower or remind you of suntan lotion. Instead, it smells of pure, mild coconut, making you feel like you're actually on vacation somewhere tropical. Sexy indeed. Just a perfect combination, excellent duration and just the right amount of sillage. (It's a plus that even I can pick up my own perfume scent with this during the day unlike some other perfumes that seem to disappear on me.) 5 stars VS.

Fragrantica’s accords graphic doesn’t always give you a clear, accurate picture of a fragrance, but in the case of Very Sexy Now 2014, it absolutely does. Sweet, lactonic coconut is definitely the main thrust of this fragrance, with creamy gardenia and an elusive tropical, fruity note (quince) rounding it out nicely. It’s a thick, rich mix of tropical, floral, and gourmand, like honey-glazed coconut and floral-infused sweetened condensed milk. It’s good-natured and summery, but still a little elegant. I think it would make a good summertime first-date fragrance. Honestly, I think VSN’14 is significantly underrated, and certainly the best of the VSN line. It’s a bit like a summertime version of Memo Paris Lalibela (not anywhere close to a dupe, just in a similar vein). It doesn’t quite have that sense of lavish depth that Lalibela has, but considering the price and the brand, it’s surprisingly good.

Beachy, tropical, bright, happy, sunny, sweet, juicy, floral, and refreshing. The sweet and creamy coconut note is the star here. It floats on a bed of floral notes of Gardenia and orchid, and is brightened even more with a tropical and juicy quince note that adds a touch of a tangy scent. Overall, it’s a pretty coconut fragrance that’s especially nice for summer. I also have VSN16 (my favorite - a more sandy coconut scent) and VSN15 (my least favorite - a fresh, aquatic, floral coconut scent). VSN14 somewhat reminds me of Ellis Brooklyn Sand, although Sand is more sweet and I personally prefer it more. I also have and love VS Coconut Passion, VS Very Sexy Oasis, and VS Tease Dreamer which are all beautiful summer fragrances. I get really good performance with Very Sexy Now 2014. The fragrance lasts throughout the day on me, and it projects out about an arm’s length from me.

This is too sweet but it's also really pretty. Reminds me of Bath and Body Works Summer Vanillas Coconut but is not a dupe. Also contains a touch of that orange note from Viva La Juicy and this is a little distracting to me since it gives me a been-there done that vibe. It opens with almost edible vanilla bean plus coconut plus a touch of orange-caramel and dash of floral and doesn't seem to go anywhere except sweeter. I'm glad I have it but I dislike the name "Very Sexy Now" and I dislike how it took me 20 minutes to figure out which purse spray matched the tester I liked, since there were three perfumes with the same annoying "Very Sexy Now" name all on the same display at the store with no distinguishing year noted. It is a really nice scent though, like a coconut cake pop with bubblegummy gardenia.
