Victoria's Secret Bombshells in Bloom

I love this scent. I just got this last week and have only worn it once. This is a lovely basic, clean, girly scent. Think of your typical clean airy floral but with a slightly sweet/fruity juicy opening. That juicy sweetness remains in the background sweetening the clean shower/floral scent. Definitely turns into a skin scent within an hour but I could smell this on my shirt two days after I wore it. I kept passing by while it was on a door handle like where is that smell coming from omg. Idk maybe it’s just my skin and my clothes ? Lol but unlike most people I think it’s very long lasting it just sits closer to the skin. I have to keep testing this out since it’s new to me but it smells amazing. So glad I got this for the low 8/10 Edit: I’ve worn this everyday almost a week now. I really really like this and I’ve learned 2 things 1. It definitely isn’t a loud smell but it does have more projection than you think. It’s a scent that you go smell blind to quickly but you do have a little bubble surrounding you (faint and delicate but noticeable) I noticed people would compliment me when I thought the smell had long been a skin scent. I still think it sits closer to the skin for the majority of its wear time but just slightly more pronounced than you may initially think. 2. 100% underrated with its longevity. I consistently smell this the following day on my clothes. Also my bf has picked this up on me many hours after I sprayed. Overall I wish it was a louder scent because that’s my preference BUT I absolutely love love loveeeee this clean, sweet scent. 9.5/ 10

Where do I start?! This is one of my favorite perfumes of all time, I would even say this is my signature scent. I have so many memories attached to it; just smelling it makes me think of 2016 when I first started wearing it and I kind of get sad lol but this is such a youthful, pretty fragrance. I love apple in my scents and this is a cool, fruity floral that I can’t see anyone hating. If you want to smell light and pretty without wearing something heavy or you’re just looking for something to throw on I always reach for this. I’m on my 4th bottle of the body spray and now that I can afford it I bought the 3.4 EDP and the bottle is so stunning with the flower on the cap; I actually keep it in the box because it’s gorgeous too. It lasts a decently long time too especially if you spray it in your hair. I typically go for clean, fresh scents so if you like that type of vibe then you’ll love this. Unfortunately it is discontinued but you shouldn’t have a problem finding it on eBay or Mercari, or even a VS outlet if you have one near you ;)

I missed bombshell in Bloom so much. It’s a light airy, aquatic flowery fragrance with a slight sweet scent to it. Very fresh and clean smelling. It isn’t heavy or overpowering. Now that it has been brought back I have stocked up on it and wear it daily. It has become my signature scent. The scent lasts on me almost 24 hours. I miss so many of the fresh clean light floral scents that have been replaced with citrus, vanilla, woody and Amber scents. Which I do not like at all. I do love a floral fruity combo as long as it isn’t crazy strong that give you a headache. I have very highly sensitive skin. So I do not spray perfume on my cloths or skin. I spray my hair. When I wake up in the morning I can still smell it on my hair from the day before. I smoke and yet it doesn’t grab the smoke scent and hold it as some other perfumes do. It more or less deflects the scent of cigarettes from my hair. I have to say. I love this version far more than the original bombshell.

I LOVE this fragrance! This is the best VS perfume to date. Although I like Bombshell, this version is much more fresh and easy to wear. The apple note is my favorite aspect of this, and this smells different than anything I have worn before. It just smells like me. I wish they had not stopped making it, but I am happy that I can still find bottle on eBay. I have gone through two bottles of this in the past, and I just repurchased a 3.4 oz. Also, the scent lasts a long time and projects nicely, but is not overpowering. My husband LOVES this perfume on me, and he keeps telling me how good I smell. You have to try this!!

LOVE this one! I have purchased this 3 times lol. It isn't the longest lasting scent, about 3 hours BUT I love this right before the pool to lay out at the beach etc. Lasts long enough and I carry one in my purse to refresh. It smells so delicious it's worth the re-spray. Not a heavy floral, more on the fruity fresh side of the tracks. The bottle is so cute if you are into the bottle side of things.

I really love this! First spray and i’m like ooh la la. Smells so fresh, girly, sweet, vibrant and zesty! I am just a bit sad because the bottle I got is the newer one. I ordered online and the one pictured has the cute flower bow. Wanted that sooo bad! Oh well, it’s okay the smell is love anyway. I can see the Bright Crystal similarity but to me this is more floral, soft and youthful.

I really like Bombshells in Bloom, along with Tease Flower (which smells very similar to this IMO) it's probably my favorite scent from Victoria's Secret! A sweet, feminine floral scent that can be worn anyday, I get compliments when I wear this! It's discontinued now, but I stocked up when it went on sale.

This is a beautiful girly scent! It smells like fresh apples & I love it for the spring time. I generally pair it with Winter Candy Apple body lotion from Bath & Body Works. It’s the perfect duo! I have a feeling that it will also pair beautifully with Champagne Apple & Honey.

I tested it this morning and I wasn't impressed. But the bottle made me crazy. I really love the bottle. It's so gorgeous. This scent reminded me Harajuku Lover G of the Sea and it's last longer than G of the Sea. I love it too much, I'll buy it again if it's discount

I LOVE this perfume!!!!!!!!!!!!. Sadly they changed the bottle and the fragrance :( :( :( WHY DID THEY DO THAT????? : ́( Please somebody put the new bottle to review. I'm traying to get my stock of the old cute bottle with the flower.

Qué perfume tan delicioso y femenino. Sus exquisitas notas son un verdadero placer para los sentidos. Tiene ese sello característico y único de las fragancias de Victoria's Secret que enamora desde el primer olor.

I'm so sad that this was discontinued! Such a gorgeous feminine scent. It's a soft floral. Wish I had stocked up on this when I had the chance. I only have the body mist now and I am cherishing every drop

VS really need to bring back the beautiful bottles they used to put out. This one was so pretty at one time and now it is in just a plain bottle. Smells great but I don't enjoy the esthetic.

I was searching for a dupe for 2 years and I thinks escadas pacific paradise (2026) has a pretty close vibe!!! don't get irritated by the banana note it kinda fruitens it up!!!!

Pretty spring fragrance. I do like it. I prefer the older version with the flower though. They did change the formula a tad. Would layer well i think with pure seduction brulee.

Apple scent, sweet, fresh, but if you expect to smell like the original you are wrong. Bottle VS bottles are amazing. 6/10

So gorgeous. I always love a sweet red apple fragrance. Great addition to your spring collection.

Smelled this tonight at Victoria's Secret. It's nice. I think it's better than the original Bombshell. It seems less sharp smelling. It's not super strong, but it's nice. I was hoping it wouldn't be too floral, so I was pleasantly surprised. It's fresh and will be nice for summer. I didn't buy today, but I will pick this up before summer. I really like most of the Bombshell flankers, even though I'm not a fan of the original. Update: I ended up buying this two days after first smelling it. Mine came with a cap that was way, way too loose. I exchanged it. They are great about that kind of thing. The bottle is strikingly gorgeous with the large flower and pretty pink coloring. The smell is great too, for me even better than the original. This is my third Bombshell flanker. Nice stuff. It's sweet, crisp and fresh. I think the bottle is adorable too.

This bottle I got was the new re-design bottle that VS has out. While it's still cute the OG bottle was better. Anyways I agree with those who say this reminds them of Versace Bright Crystal, and a bit more like ABSOLU which I have and adore. This is just a bit more fruity where that is more floral, and way way nicer. This is a clean fresh scent. I would deff hold onto it for an easy grab-and-go scent. Nothing to like DIE to have or a classic. It has very weak staying power.

I first tested it on the strip of paper at the store. Fell in love with it and bought the 100ml immediately! I was even happier when it was just half price! Now I'm using it and it smells great. Only sad thing was the sillage isn't very good and it doesn't last very long on me... Nonetheless it's still a great buy! *Edit: I used it for more than 12 hours and I can still smell it on me but sillage is definitely weak. It's kinda surprising but I love it even more!

Scentmojis: 🪷🍎💧👗🌸 🕊️ This is a keeper! It’s light and clear and fresh—perfect for summer and daytime. The smell is similar to Ralph and Paris Hilton; icy and cool but sweet. I can understand the critique that it’s nothing show-stopping, but it’s a good, solid scent that doesn’t cause headaches, devolve into heavy base notes, or otherwise annoy. The lasting power is moderate, so I find this is one fragrance I can get away with over-spraying.

I really like freesia, and I get a good dose of it in Bombshell in Bloom, along with the apple. It's not mind blowing or different, by any means, but it is definitely very pretty.VS has been using apple as a note in a fair amount of their recent offerings, and while I am not always a huge fan of apple as a note in perfumes it is really nice in Bombshell in Bloom - adds to the breezy, springlike vibe. I really like it :)

I think I'm the only person out there who thinks the bottle is ugly and gaudy. But I LOVE the scent of this perfume! I like a lot of VS perfumes but this is my favorite and all I want to wear lately. It's a great Spring/Summer fragrance. Some people said all they can smell is the apple but I smell the florals about equally to the apple. It lasts a few hours on me and I'd say the sillage is moderate.

On paper I should love this. Apples and freesia and aquatic notes, oh my! But on my skin it’s too sharp for my nose. I like it a lot, however part of it is too bitter or something. Definitely recommend freesia lovers try this! Edit: I gave it a second go, this time spraying MUCH less than before, and it was delightful.

I am really surprised to see the notes, because on my skin this fragrance smells like sour exotic fruits. If this is an apple note, surely it is overdosed. Not a bad scent, I even like it, but it does not fit my taste. I expected something more floral after seeing the name 'In Bloom'.

I actually didn’t expect to like as much as I do. This scent is clean without being musky, and girly but not too fruity.. a nice floral scent with a hint of sweetness. Perfect for fresh spring days.

I enjoy wearing this, it's one of my staples for spring/summer. For a VS perfume, its sillage and longevity are pretty good. It is a very easy likeable floral perfume!

Nice clean apple scent, great for work and professional settings. I find this perfume to be great for spring and summer.

Cute bottle with interesting notes. Think it will be a perfect spring perfume. Will buy it for sure.

NICE JUICY FLORAL SCENT...NOTHING SPECIAL PERFECT FOR EVERYDAY USE.

Good fruity floral scent, but it doesn’t last on me 😐

I bought this as a blind buy because it was only $20 and I love a lot of VS frags. That being said, I was slightly surprised when I tried it and ended up not liking it as much as anticipated. I don’t smell any fruity or apple scent, just floral. I gave this a few more days to try, and it has grown on me over time, but the longevity of it is just not there to make it worth keeping, not even for $20. A lot of reviews claim this smells similar to Versace’s Bright Crystal & Bright Crystal Absolu. I sprayed all three to test this, and VS in bloom smells nothing like the Bright Crystal scents, which doesn’t surprise me, since they do not share any notes.

Every time I spray this on myself, I’m immediately reminded of the smell of toy makeup I had as a kid in the early 2000s. For me, the initial smell is plasticky yet nostalgic in a way. And then, it evolves into a delicious, juicy apple scent which then quickly dissipates into a kids’ shampoo/hair spray smell. A couple hours later, it reminds me of Bright Crystal Absolu with less dimension/musk. I blind bought this based on the glowing reviews here, and I’m not disappointed, but I’m not blown away either. If you want an apple-forward fragrance from VS that smells less juvenile, I’d recommend Tease Sugar Fleur.

I picked this one up yesterday for a fantastic deal since it was on my wish list. It is...hmm "pretty" so far and very, very feminine. I feel it would be an extremely selective day/night in which I would pick this to wear and I am unsure as of yet for what type of occasion, it could also be migraine inducing (for me since I am already prone) if I was on the fence with a slight headache I do believe? I am not overly impressed, not as much as I thought I would be and very much am curious about other "Bombshells" now though as a general VS fan overall. Its drydown (which is fairly quick on my skin) is a bit more on the synthetic side for me (I swear I smell VERY fake strawberries???) and I strongly feel if the fruity notes were to be replaced with citrus ones, it would actually be a MUCH better blend and even possibly remove the synthetic feel of it...just a thought and definitely a preference of mine. I don't know (when you know you just know if it is in your top 5 or even 10) that I will be keeping this one since there are many others I feel I would reach for instead of; I do not even know how/where/when I would be opting for this perfume? If you like fruity along with the other notes, you would almost most definitely really enjoy this scent I think. The longevity is quite long yet the sillage is virtually non-existent which is bit odd to me. ~Update~ I just could not wear this one. :( The drydown does induce a headache for me, it is a synthetic after "taste" and I find it just too sweet and still smell very fake, stale old strawberries...so I did sell it off. I gave it a good try but I just could not wear this perfume.

Tried a cheap bottle of this from Poshmark. This is pretty and fresh. But it just smells too much like Paris Hilton Paris Hilton, which I don't like for some reason I can't put my finger on, and I can't stop smelling the similarity. It just brings me right back to PH over and over. I also feel the Bombshell DNA in it, and again I am unfortunately not a fan of Bombshell. Mostly writing this review for my own benefit so I don't once again get suckered into the notes, which are some of my favorites. This really is the perfect fresh, girly VS scent and you can't go wrong with it. It smells like the inside of a VS, and personally I mean that as a compliment; I love that smell. It doesn't smell too flowery or too fruity, despite giving wafts of both. I would agree with the reviewer who described it as 'icy' in some ways. And it's one of the rare perfumes that can be both sweet and clean smelling, two attributes that I usually find to be at odds with each other. But ultimately it's just too sweet (or something?) for me. Wish I could like this but I won't be keeping. Edit: The longer I wear this the more I think I may have to scrub it off. It's become nauseating. :(

This opens with a nice sweet and fresh apple but turns into a soapy/shampoo smell. I'm not a fan of soapy/shampoo notes as they irritate my nose and would have skipped it if it was listed. Wish the apple lasted longer 10-15min. The sillage is intimate and lasts about 2-3h.

Wow, I agree 100% with boolprop's comparison of Bombshells in Bloom with Paris Hilton perfume. To me, Bombshells in Bloom is a lighter, airier version of Paris Hilton and flanker Paris Hilton Sheer. That said, to my nose, there is a strong off-putting chemical note in Paris Hilton which I'm not sure how to describe other than perhaps it smells like burnt rubber - maybe it's the phermones said to be in the perfume? Maybe it's calone? Either way, that certain note tends to make me a bit queasy. Interestingly, I can faintly detect that same calone chemical note in Bombshells in Bloom, but the good news is, it's much more toned down and just barely detectable, which makes Bombshells in Bloom more wearable for me, in my opinion. Thus, if you love the scent of Paris Hilton, but do not care for the chemical calone burnt rubber note... then I think you will enjoy Bombshells in Bloom. Bombshells in Bloom is also similar to Ralph as well as Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling. Regarding the lasting power of Bombshells in Bloom, it's very light and sits quite close to the skin. Even if I overspray and spray on clothes, it is only faintly detectable after 30 minutes and performs more like a body spray. All that said, I have to say that the BOTTLE is 10 out of 10 - literally one of the most gorgeous, adorable bottles I've ever seen from Victoria's Secret, apart from Bombshell Diamonds which is my all-time favourite VS bottle design. It's a lovely collectors item - a little gem - worthwhile to have for the bottle alone. The little pink flower plastic choker necklace around the neck of the bottle is everything... It reminds me of peak 90's era when plastic / vinyl decor was all the rage... and girls had plastic air filled pillows and chairs and palm trees that looked like pool floatie toys as bedroom decor. Overall, iconic bottle and the scent is truly very bright, floral, juicy, feminine, sweet and pretty.

The bottle is already pretty enough the way it looks. I wouldn't want to pay more for that plastic flower to become swarovski flower. Lets talk about the scent :) The apple is most prominent of all. The florals are there as well but due to the sweetness its the apple smell that renders in my brain throughout the entire time. Overall it is sweet and fresh. Lovely for daytime wear and I like this bombshell the best. On that day i was comparing this smell with Angels Only. Angels Only's only difference would be the violet note and i took 45 minutes in the store comparing the smell while telling the shop assistant that they both smell so close and i like them both. However i Purchased this Bombshells in Bloom was because Angels Only's scent grew weak at the end of 45 minutes.

Fresh, sweet, and fruity, this is my favorite perfume from Victoria's Secret I've tried so far. It would be one of my top perfumes if only it had better sillage and longevity. For my own nose I prefer to only spray a perfume once on either my wrists or the inside of my arms but with this I think I would need to spray multiple times in order to get decent longevity and sillage. I bought the 3.4 fluid ounce bottle on clearance for 70% off at my local Victoria's Secret so I am assuming it's being discontinued. If you love this perfume like I do make sure to stock up just in case!

This is a hidden gem and was love at second sniff💖✨ I purchased it after great reviews and it was also some sale. First I was a bit disappointed, it was a light fruity floral, lightly sweet. I thought it’s okay. But after about 2 months I sniffed and sprayed it again and OMG✨💖 I fell in love. And surprisingly, it does last many hours on my neck/hair... it’s kind of unique and intoxicating even..and very lovely. I love this scent and smelling the whiffs of it is just so yummy and nice 😍Fresh, fruity, floral and a bit sweet. Ah😍✨ Will wear it a lot during spring/summer☺️

My ex-boyfriend gave me a bottle of this and Hello, Darling! It was really quite cute. He didn't know much of fragrances but said they were pretty and my heart just fell for these by default. It's not the most interesting, but it may be one of my favorites I own. It smells of happiness and brings the dorkiest of smiles to my face. Chiefly a jasmine and apple fragrance. But, like many of the new Victoria's Secrets fragrances, this is at least a solid like for me. I'm biased, though. I just feel love when I wear this.

fresh, cheerful, smells like shampoo. projection isn't amazing but every so often i catch a whiff of this and i get a clean, youthful fruity-floral. as previous reviewers stated, it's nothing earth-shattering and the longevity is a bit weak, but it's a very enjoyable scent for spring and summer. i like light scents, so my biggest gripe with this is the plastic flower on the bottle, i think it feels a bit cheap and it gets in my way when i'm trying to re-cap it. cute idea though.

Victoria Secret Bombshell in Bloom smells like a sweet red apple with an aquatic undertone from the water lily. It’s very feminine with its sweeter top note (compared to the original Bombshell) and fresh which is great for spring and summer! I am an avid collector of all the Victoria Secret Bombshell flankers, so it’s a nice addition to the collection and the bottle is very pretty!

Don't blind buy this like me :( It got so nauseating after two days of wearing it.. I don't find this floral !! it so sweet is fruity and sweet that it makes me sick and where are the flowers in bloom for gods sake ... I think i will give it away for someone who likes it ... to me this is so artificial and way too sweet.

I really like this scent and love the bottle . Smells of apples and flowers, which I like. BBW makes a new scent that is very similar to this called BBW Hello Beautiful, and its cheaper ! This is a very girly scent. Its fresh , floral , and fruity.. without smelling like candy. Lovely.

Fresh ,Crisp and a little sweet I don't know why I like wearing it when I go salsa dancing :) it stays fresh and fruity through out the entire dance :) The bottle is so cute

Sweet, good, young, kinda unique, not so strong , nothing scratchy your nose , but I’ve used one bottle and that was enough :)

I love this classic, simple sharp scent all rolled into one. Seeing the flower on the bottle is uplifing.

Ooohh, this sounds really good! Will try this when I can!
