Victoria’s Secret Paris

This is one of my favorite scents and it hurts my heart that it's been discontinued. At least I can still get it on fragrance net. I originally bought Paradiso with low expectations that anything else could come close to Paris. I was right. I sprayed that once and gave it away. In no way, shape or form does Paradiso resemble Paris. Save your coins. Paris is almost perfectly unisex, but it leans 1 or 2 degrees towards the feminine side. The right amount of woodiness. The perfect level of sweetness. Great lasting power. I have a deep appreciation for linear fragrances and this fits the bill. What you get on the initial spray is what you get at the end of the day. It used to come out around Christmas and while it can definitely be worn in the winter, this still works fabulously in 100+ temps. Pre-covid, it was the kind of fragrance that people standing next to you in line would smell and ask what you're wearing (ladies ask that. Guys just say you smell good) I wish I could think of a comparable scent e.g. if you like that, you'll like this. But I haven't come close to smelling this is any other form. I went through so many bottles of this over the past few years and never got sick of it. I still pass through VS several times a year in hopes that they bring it back or repackage it and give it another name (again).

I agree this one leans unisex. Yet it's so freshly beautiful & wonderfully lasting. I originally picked this gem up @ an after Cmas SAS & wore it several times that winter. This one is a little on the edge of my usual preferences. It was really nice, but I usually lean into warmer & spicier scents @ that time of yr. Then spring brings my fave floral & green scents out of hiding. On a whim as I was switching out my cool weather & warm weather scents, I sprayed this loveliness on. It was a very warm & humid day in spring (unseasonably so for Ohio). After that initial cool blast warmed on my skin, the jasmine developed an amazing natural sweetness. I had never detected it in the cool, dry air of NE winters. The scent just continued to bloom & last from there on. It was a smidge heady, but not @ all overpowering. Cool cypress & smooth cedar were still fully intact with amazing freshness in the heat. It lasted surprisingly well too, at least 6 hrs. I'll continue picking up this gem each time she returns in limited fashion. Paris now has permanent residence in my summer collection. She layers beautifully with VS Love & VS Fabulous too!

I tend to ration this perfume because I’m afraid I’ll never get my hands on it again if I ever run out. Hopefully, Victoria’s Secret will bring it back at some point during their Semi-Annual Sale, and I can stock up on it. Bombshell Paris is so pretty. It’s got a cool, fresh woodiness to it that I simply adore. It’s absolutely beautiful in winter. I’ve unfortunately never been to Paris, but the imagery of the VS campaign that evokes “Parisian gardens during winter and the glittery scene of the Eiffel tower covered with snow” is spot on. I see a confident, elegantly dressed Parisian woman stepping out onto her apartment balcony to toast to the New Year with friends and family as snow flurries around the Eiffel Tower in the background. Her coat has a wide, faux-fur lined hood that covers her so prettily, and she’s wearing a red lip with the most genuine smile on her face. So chic and classy.

Picked this up for $25 at the semi-annual sale, and oh. My. Goodness. Where has this beautiful fragrance been all my life, and why why WHY was it ever discontinued? Victoria’s Secret Paris smells of winter and fall, of snow-covered pines and pumpkin-spice candles. It’s somehow fresh but warm, woody and earthy with a healthy dose of sweet femininity. It’s different than most other VS perfumes, yes, but it retains something sparkly that makes me feel like it’s still fairly youthful. It could be considered unisex for sure, but in my opinion it leans on the feminine side. Longevity is amazing for VS; Paris lasted around eight hours on my skin. I can’t wait to wear this in the fall and winter, day and night!

Paris was launched as a seasonal perfume during winter of last year (2016) and is now relabeled as Bombshell Paris but is the same juice exactly. This woody scent is rather dry which makes it versatile for all seasons. It's a breath of fresh air for VS, as most of their scents rely heavily on vanilla and sweetness. The scent smells very clean and classic but modernized. Paris works well alone as a clean woody scent but it also plays well with others. Today I am wearing Bombshell Paris with B. Balenciaga. The cedar and oakmoss from my VS scent and the sweet vegetal peas from Balenciaga are magical together. It's a nice refreshing non-citrus scent for the hot balmy days of Summer.

I got this yesterday! And is the perfect “I do not want to put perfume on “ like when you wake up hung over ,when you just tired of all the perfumes you have and body splashes ! When you just want something soft neutral but that smells nice,something that makes you smell clean but nice!,this is a like an easy I woke up Sunday smell type of perfume. My favorite perfumes morning perfumes to be home are Ellen Tracy (Ellen Tracy)Sundays Morning would be Eau de Cartier Concentree , Delicious Vanilla (Gale Hayman )this for anytime of the day or layering (wich is perfect)I was looking forward to add something new to the (Clean Smell Collection) and found this and I love it!

I wish I had more of this since I tend to use it alot in the winter. More than Bombshell or any other bombshell edition. It does have a more masculine comparison, but with the perfect feminine twist of floral. Searching for a similar replacement. Did not think Burberry smells anything like it. My kids didn't like the Burberrys either. [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've been wearing this perfume for over a year, and have yet to review it, so here it goes. Most of the perfume I wear is niche, yet this makes the cut for me. It's just this good. I've worn it all seasons, and I just can't get tired of it. It's so aromatic, pleasant, uplifting. I've gotten more compliments on this than way more expensive fragrances. I wish this became a permanent perfume for VS. luckily, I bought a backup bottle a year ago.

I have the bomshell paris body mist. Everyone says it's a repackage. Well let me tell you. I'm obsessed with the scent. It's nostalgic, but not dated. Extremely fresh. Unisex but more feminine leaning. It's a strong girl fragrance. But it's not arrogant. I love it soooo much. Every season. It's wintery but also summery. It's summer now so it'll probably remain a summer fragrance for me. Love love love love

This scent is something special. I definitely see this being unisex(though I believe you can wearing whatever makes you happy) with crisp woodsy notes and a touch of floral with the jasmine. I absolutely love wearing this on cold winter days. Very festive and perfect for holidays.

This is my ideal kind of perfume: simple notes that create a stunning fragrance. Cypress and night blooming jasmine are two of my favorite scents. They balance each other perfectly. A lovely and festive frag for winter.

A winter night with a full moon and crisp air. I find it bewitchingly feminine and soft yet cool. It doesn't seem like a "bombshell" fragrance at all. The lotion is nice as well.

The opening of this scent reminds me of something from my childhood. It's pretty similar to my mum's Celine Dion Perfume. I wish they still made that.

I bought this during the most recent Semi-Annual Sale under the name “Bombshell Paris,” but the notes look similar to “Victoria’s Secret Paris,” so I’m assuming they’re the same. So different than my normal gourmand picks but very nice! Starts off with that bright, citrusy (grapefruit?) opening that’s common to many VS perfumes, but it settles into a crisp, outdoorsy scent. I have a hard time with notes like cypress and oakmoss .. They so often smell hematic to me. But this! This is crisp and fresh and cold, not aggressive or overly heavy. A slight, natural sweetness rounds it out, making it feel like a charming, sugared, snowy fairytale forest. It’s definitely for a specific time, place, and mood, though .. I see this working best on a truly cold day while doing something outdoorsy (picking out a Christmas tree, sledding, etc.). Mild temperature days don’t do it justice and will make it feel out-of-place (as experienced today). Unisex but leans feminine. There’s a touch of “old man” cologne, but the sweet drydown helps tremendously. It projects well for about 2-3 hours and then settles into a beautiful skin scent.

A pleasant surprise; no fruits or vanilla and very little jasmine on me, unlike almost every other VS perfume that I've tried/owned. On me it is a clean and cold woodsy scent - the scent of a walk on a frosty morning. A perfect winter fragrance, that fits the inspiration and bottle design very well. It is a close-to-the-skin fragrance, and it has a "meh" longevity, which is a shame. However I still reccomend trying it out if you enjoy clean fragrances, as it makes a lovely daytime perfume, and can be layered with smokier perfumes for the evening (I have a bottle of VS Secret 33 that is perfect for layering purposes).

I have the rollerball. On first application my nose didn’t find any of the notes listed here. Just big LEMON! An hour later I found something light and sweet like a soft vanilla. Together it seemed like lemon merengue. I reapplied 2 hours later to try again after reading this page. This time I found big LIME! I could also get some juniper berries right away. Then it softened to that sweet note, which I think is jasmine but my nose still reads as soft vanilla. To sum up, my nose thinks it’s key lime pie topped with whip cream and juniper berries. 😄

SO this is back and under the name BOMBSHELL PARIS now, and in a NEW re-design bottle with the Simi Annual Sale going on. THIS ONE is unique. As mentioned this scent is a floral, woody, warm scent. I think this one is deff unisex for sure, it is really unique too not the typical VS offering.

Don't let the ingredients of the notes fool you, I couldn't tell what it smelled like, only that it smelled fresh, strong, sharp, and good. Reminded me of White Diamonds; it's a very powerful smell but not invasive. Only way to really know is to smell it yourself.

i think it's the best fragrance of VS. first i searched it on fragrantica and ingredient wasn't my type. but i wanted to buy it anyway. and i got my rollerball it's so wonderful it gives warm, relaxing smell which i can't describe it. it's just beautiful.

I forgot I had this so I pulled it out to try it in the cold days of winter. Well..................I must say, it's a bit more masculine than I remember. Not my favorite of the Bombshell franchise, but I'm glad I have it. Happy New Year everyone!
