Victoria's Secret Bombshell Italian Iris

Definitely the best out of the Spring 2013 collection! The other two(VS Angel Italian Bergamot and Very Sexy Italian Mandarin) are very fresh and clean but nothing special where as VS Bombshell Italian Iris has a sexy and sensual side to it as well but also still very fresh and light enough for warmer weather! I love the original Bombshell and trust me this definitely is a different scent otherwise I would never have bought it being that I already own Bombshell!

One of my favorites, it is pretty and minimal. To me, this smells all fresh spicy made only from florals, but also delivers a juiciness (or sweetness?) comparable to a nectarine. The dry down is slightly powdery in nature, but does not lose the fresh spicy aroma.

ADORE this perfume! :) what a shame it is only a summer edition :( hopefully i ́ll get another bottle at the anual sale.

VS knows the way to a girl's heart with the million dollar perfume bottle look. It's weird but all the Bombshell special editions smell better than the original Bombshell to me. I was never the Bombshell fan. I thought all of the Italians editions weren't too bad. Italian Iris Bombshell opens to a floral scent. If you're sick and tired of all the corn syrup smell, this is a refreshing change for the Spring. While it's not Holy Grail "I must buy scent", it is definitely pleasurable and infinitely upbeat, happy, clean, pretty scent. This scent develops on my skin very beautifully. The first half an hour or so was just okay. The dry down is so comforting and airy light. The floral is well tamed with woody sweet dry down to prevent the aldehyde floral headache I usually get from all floral scents. A perfect spring scent.

Smells vaguely related to the original Bombshell, but this time there are some additional floral notes, and the passionfruit is toned way down, or maybe even removed. I would never guess these notes listed by the way it smells. I don't even think poppies have a scent. I smell grapefruit in all the Bombshell flankers, including this one. The orris root gives this a pleasant powderiness. As usual, this flanker smells better than the original Bombshell to me. Italian Iris is my favorite of the three Italian inspired limited editions.
