Very nice. I sometimes layer this with Bath and body works White Tea and Sage.

Katieo_827 08/11/21 15:25

I LOVE this smell, it is probably my favorite scent I own at this moment in time I have both EDP and EDT but both are extremely disappointing performance.... I shouldn't be surprised as this is from VS who is notorious for poor performing perfumes.... but I love the smell so much I wish it lasted longer as I feel like within 1 hour it has disappeared, which even though it is more affordable, how much you have to spray and how often you must reapply its not a great value

This was my signature colder months perfume throughout middle school. I may be biased but I actually think this is a masterpiece by Victoria's Secret's standards.

To my nose, this is a driftwoody, aromatic and earthy white floral skin scent. Delicately androgynous. Unlike most VS body sprays this is extremely "dry" in the sense that there's no sweetness to this whatsoever. It's a little cutting in the opening but it settles to a musky woody sage. This is the Victoria's Secret perfume for Victoria's Secret haters and as soon as I run out best believe I'm buying it again.

Bombshell Seduction is a clean, feminine scent. It would be very basic and common if it weren't for that sage note. The sage is very calming, and cooling in the heat of summer. I do think there are similarities between this and the original bombshell, but I like Seduction much better, as the original is too sharp, and Seduction is smoother and much more pleasant and less juvenile in my opinion. The lasting power isn't super great. I feel like I have to wear quite a bit of this. My favorite time to wear this is on a super hot day, or right after I shower, before I go to bed.

xions 07/07/21 16:22

I absolutely adore this fragrance! The opening is your typical pretty, sweet white floral scent. Now before you think, "wow, like I really need another generic girly floral perfume in my collection," the sage immediately cuts through and gives the scent a bright, zesty, androgynous edge. It's so unique. I can envision this fragrance on a tom-boyish girl wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, long-boarding on the beach. Charming and mischievous!

aes08290 05/20/21 04:05

This smells so good! Just fresh and clean and can wear any time for any occasion. A snuggly cuddly scent perfect for warmer weather. My partner loves this on me, and I receive compliments from strangers when wearing it. I use the body mist (1-2 sprays) at work since I work in a "fragrance-free" environment and it sits close to me and gives that fresh and clean showered feeling in hot weather. My favorite of the entire VS fragrance line, so I hope this one stays forever.

amberonic 05/06/21 18:17

Wow! Pros and cons:

Cons, like most VS perfumes, smells like a floor cleaner to me. But I'm sure on some people it's awesome.
Pros, the sage note is so fresh and clean and unexpected--a delightful departure from gourmand notes in a 'seduction' fragrance.

Not sure if it's reformulated, but the Summer 2021 promo sample I received lists the notes as PEONY, sage, and musk

rachelsedge 04/28/21 14:11

I have a rollerball version of this scent. I do not like the original Bombshell on me at all - something about it makes me feel sick. But, when I smelled this as a sample in an advertisement, it smelled good! I went with a rollerball to try. This is a pretty, elegant scent. A very clean floral. Does not feel too heavy or "old". It is pretty linear on me, and nothing exciting. Just a straightforward, clean scent. But, I don't mind that! Probably won't buy a full bottle, but will enjoy what's left in the rollerball.

leesa_9 04/27/21 15:31

I'm so glad I tried this when the original Bombshell didn't work with my body chemistry (I ended up smelling very masculine). This scent, however, smells so damn good. The florals, the musk, the amber combined creates a very sensual scent that is very soft and not overbearing, which is great! This is good for a date or a night out, any time of year. I receive so many compliments when I wear this. I get that people want to be near me when I wear this, so I make sure to have the perfume and body mist in stock all the time.

HibiscusLola 04/27/21 15:09

For a long time I was obsessed with the original bombshell and I was always wearing it.
A few years later I was in a VS store with a friend who suggested me to buy this instead. Today I just repurchased it after finishing that bottle.
Honestly, I don't get the correlation with the regular bombshell.
This is softer and more elegant, in my opinion. It smells very clean, I detect some white flowers with a soft animalic base note which gives it more uniqueness and sexiness.
I get an aquatic kind of feeling, and a creamy-coconutty vibe.
I use the body mist which I prefer because it's more refreshing, it's wonderful to spray after showering.
The juice is always noticeable, I get compliments on it, people say I smell pretty, fresh and clean.
I also get whiffs of it on the things I touch after application, even after many days!
I highly recommend if you like subtle clean and feminine fragrances.
Ps. If you know the music video of MJ "You Rock My World", I imagine the gorgeous girl he is trying to seduce smelling like this.
Elegant, simple and sexy.

moonsunstars 04/26/21 15:38

Victoria's Secret was having a sale on their Bombshell fragrance sets (perfume, lotion, and body mist), so I decided to purchase after smelling a sample. In no way is this a loud fragrance, but it is such a good one for warm weather. The Tuberose and Sage balance out each other perfectly to create a crisp, clean scent. In all honesty I find this to be quite unisex - same goes for the original Bombshell. Overall, a great flanker in the Bombshell range. Glad I purchased.

americanablonde 03/24/21 11:43

This perfume is very clean and crisp, with lots of green floral notes coming through. It's a perfect daytime fragrance, and the addition of the sage makes it extremely wearable and casual. It's a nice, easy scent that's perfect for spring and summer, and I like that it's not as sweet as other Victoria's Secret perfumes.

However, I'm not really in love with this scent. It's nice, don't get me wrong, but I don't exactly find it seductive, exciting, or unique. It also doesn't last that long on me, which is disappointing! Within two hours, I can barely smell it, even with my wrist pressed to my nose.

Brvnette 02/16/21 17:41

smells like luxury grass and dirt to me

jeanharlow 01/31/21 06:36

I'm not sure what to think of this fragrance. Sometimes I get a coconutty smell in it and I LOVE it, other times I mostly get a Lily (sage?) note that hurts my sinuses. I definitely smell a pear in this. Its a very clean fruity floral. I'm still deciding on whether to keep this or not (I have the fine fragrance mist version) as I like it, but I'm not reaching for it because it just slightly misses the mark for me. This smells better in warm conditions. I think i'm going to have to just test this a few more times.

edit: tested this many ways, even layering and decided I cant get past that sharp sage note which never fades!

Balletflowers 01/25/21 14:03

Hmm when I sprayed in store it smells different than at home? Maybe because other scents that were sprayed around mixed with this. At the store, I thought it smelled great, but at home, it smells like so many other fragrances I've smelled before. Nothing bad, but not unique or worth keeping for me. I feel like I already have/had something like this. It's a light fruity floral, smells very similar to the original Bombshell.

Lbc19005 12/31/20 19:13

This is a green floral scent. This smells like the original Bombshell, with no fruitiness, and with added green and strong floral notes. It's the most floral of the Bombshell line by far. It smells slightly herbal and aromatic. Its a fresh green scent. I can definitely smell the sage. Great for very hot days in the spring and summer. It is more so a purely daytime scent. Great for work as well. Would make a perfect workout fragrance too. I own this in the fine fragrance mist, and it is very strong. I like this scent but I would not consider it to be "seductive". Overall, I would recommend this scent but only if you are a fan of "green" or "nature" scents.

aqua76239 11/13/20 13:39

I happened to try it the other day before I knew what the notes were. Its very clean, crisp floral sort of watery which is really nice. Out of many Bombshell flankers, this one deserves an honorable mention. I think it still has DNA of a Bombshell but its good enough to stand on its own. I think tuberose here is very sheer.
Unfortunately, I got body spray because i didn't want to pay full price for edt but I think its a mistake on my part because lasting power is awful.
Btw there is nothing whatsoever "seduction" about this scent. VS always tries to label their fragrances with some sexy name but it gets annoying at this point

FrenchyFry 11/05/20 15:27

This fragrance is SO underrated. To me, it's the best of the bombshell range. If I would have known the notes before blind purchasing this, I probably wouldn't have. But I saw it on discount on the VS website once upon a time and ordered it so that I could get free shipping. I fell in love! To me, this has sweetness to it as well as the aromatic floral. Not sugary sweet like some of the other VS perfumes, but almost like a sweet flower. The sage really makes this fragrance unique while still being appealing to the general population. Sillage and longevity is pretty good too, so I think it's worth the money considering it's designer quality in my book. I get lots of compliments on this fragrance and people are always surprised it's a VS perfume!

angel00sandwich 10/05/20 01:18

Seriously? Nobody thought of burberry london or issey miyake?

It smells like the two had a baby and boom
Bombshell seduction
If u like floral clean watery(issey type) perfume this is for you.
Sometimes i get a whiff of the original bombshell and maybe some fruit hiding in the florals.

I still like the original one better.
Nice cheap version of a desiner perfume though, it will make u feel & smell grown up.

Spencemonster 09/26/20 18:40

I just purchased the NEW bottle of this. New design of the bottle seems a bit sleeker and classy. Not sure if they touched up the fragrance at all but it's a beautiful sheer tuberose. Very ethereal and very fresh white floral. Clean crisp and just. Beautiful. Very pretty. This could be worn daily. Even to bed. Year round. This is one of my fave bombshells!

Addict2Perfume 08/01/20 00:09

Bombshell Seduction by Victoria secret smells like the original bombshell with the peony and musk but it is mellowed out by this divine sage note. I swore I would never buy another Victoria Secret scent because I used have sooo many, ahh youth, but after finishing a rollerball of this I broke down and bought a bottle – no regrets! I love the freshness of this sage note! I have never smelled another fragrance with sage that I find quite as pleasing as this, but it could be how it blends with the peony and musk too. This is a great casual scent and I get loads of compliments, even from strangers every time I wear it!

LibraMoon 07/17/20 01:30

I just bought this. Tuberose is not listed in the notes on Victoria's Secret website. I also smell no tuberose whatsoever. I smell the white peony, lots of sage, and velvet musk. These are the notes posted on their website, and this is what I smell on my skin with this fragrance. They have it labeled as a floral Oriental, however I'm not quite sure if Victoria's Secret knows what a floral Oriental fragrance is. This is a lovely fragrance however, this is not a floral Oriental. This is a floral fresh, just out of the shower type fragrance. If you remember Victoria's Secret original Pink fragrance and Body by Victoria fragrance, this fragrance is like the two of those mixed together. I really love this fragrance because I really loved the original Pink fragrance and Body by Victoria. Surprisingly, this has very good sillage and longevity. One more thing to note, this smells nothing like the original bombshell at all. I do love both the original bombshell and bombshell intense, for reference. However none of the three smell anything like each other. If I had to rank all three of the Bombshells, I would say the original Bombshell is my favorite, this one is my second favorite, and bombshell intense is my third favorite.

chininta 05/30/20 22:16

its simply fresh flowery perfume. pretty but generic and easy to wear. Yes typical VS perfume which is good and safe for blind buy.

HChan47 04/26/20 19:42

I don't get the musk! I was so hoping for a soapy / musky scent which sounds impossible but I found one in Bermuda which starts out soapy and then turns to a creamy, beachy, skin scent. I wanted this to be a replacement for a clean scent that is a little more rawwrr than just soap and makes my husband want to cozy up. Bermuda is a tad too strong for that. Maybe a cheaper alternative will do the trick. Seduction?

Nope, no musk, no soap. This blasted to tuberose on me. Pleasant overall. But everything else was lost. A bit basic and that is ok but it was all I could smell. Didn't meet my criteria but i might give it another try in a body mist which might lighten the tuberose.

MaiCecile 03/01/20 16:01

This is such a pretty fragrance. The original bombshell's signature citrus is there, but in a softer way. The florals and musk temper them, making this fresh and lovely. It's more of a soft peony scent that a tuberose.

Ladyd4475 01/15/20 15:02

When it's called seduction, it must be seductive and yeah it is. It still has the bombshell DNA but in a seductive way. I have most of Bombshell collection, this is my favourite. Not so fruity, very calming and seductive in some kind of way.
The top notes quite strong and the middle notes was just nice. It works perfectly on my skin. I love it!

sibaraa 10/10/19 19:23

This is my favorite of the bunch. So calming. Fruity and aromatic.

Jordyn Ramadani 09/27/19 23:43

I went to a local VS counter the other day. This fragrance was on display and i was really eager to try and get a sniff because i was initially attracted to the bottle and the concept of "seductive". But unfortunately, i ended up not liking this perfume at all. To me, this perfume smells like the a more musky-sour version of the original Bombshell perfume. It was too sour-smelling and i honestly couldn't get any 'seductiveness' from it.

korean_obsession 06/05/19 01:04

Not too different from the original. It's bombshell + floral notes. It's still fresh but more of a fresh floral. Not elderly or anything. Not sure where the 'seduction' is cuz I don't find it seductive imo. Easy everyday wear tho.

chicagogirl 01/09/19 18:08

I just got this in a set for cheap during the semi annual sale (it's still on sale! go get it if you're interested). The original bombshell fruitiness is very much in the background and muted in this perfume. It has strong florals but they're overwhelmed by a clean, sharp musky note. It smells a little soapy but like an industrial hand soap you'd use in a public bathroom, not like a clean out of the shower soap. It's a good spring scent but in my opinion it's a weird choice for the winter/fall seasons. It smells clean but not in a unique, sexy, fresh way. Of all my VS perfumes (Very Sexy, Bombshell, Tease, Heavenly, Victoria) this is my least favorite.

raiza1990 01/04/19 04:48

This is less sweet than most Victoria's Secret fragrances, but it is still generic. It smells like something you could find at a drugstore. It is clean,a bit sweet, a bit herbal, but definitely not the creamy musky floral i was waiting for.
It is not a bad fragrance, but overpriced and one can find more interesting things in drugstores.

Sreza7 10/11/18 07:29

I compared Bombshell and Bombshell Seduction side by side and they smell completely different. Bombshell is way sweeter and fruitier. Seduction is so much more floral. Like straight tuberose. Both are beautiful.

chininta 10/03/18 00:25

i bought a 50 ml few days ago and never regret it. its kinda floral. i love tuberose. from now on im the big fan of this scent

Sreza7 09/09/18 17:27

This is a great version of the original bombshell. Bombshell seduction is more Floral than the original and I love the herbal note from the sage that I pick up right away. I feel like I'm in a garden. Amazing fragrance for being made by Victoria's Secret.

VanilllaPrincess 08/25/18 15:25

I can really smell the sage and grapefruit. It lasts all day and the body lotion to this is so nice to layer with.

al820129 07/27/18 13:10

This is the first time I enjoy VS perfume. What a lovely scent!
First of all it's different, crystal clear, sparkling and fresh with distant echo of original Bombshell. This is finally feminine and pretty Bombshell, reserved in seduction. You can wear to school or work.
The second the most appealing factor - it lasts ! The only one VS perfume that lasts all day, unbelievable.

michelle.schlossman 05/27/18 11:41

I have used the original bombshell for years and usually don't pay much attention to the flankers since they are all so similar. This is the first flanker I really like. They are similar but different enough to be worth buying. The box lists sage and tuberose as notes. If I think about it I can kind of smell them but the presence is subtle. Staying power is good for a VS fragrance. Lasts most of the day. I would wear this spring though fall.
The bottle is nicer looking than the original hot pink. I just might prefer this one over the original. I will be buying a backup!

JetsBabe 04/15/18 08:44

I really like this. But, yes...it's just another bombshell. A fruitier bombshell. Like original bombshell, this also lasts on my skin 7+ hours which I love. Oh, and the bottle is very cute

lmwimsatt 04/02/18 19:18

Ridiculous how this smells like the original yet they share no notes

Jadelynn 03/29/18 23:29

Adore this! I was skeptical when I saw it was listed as an Oriental Floral; I don't like most spicy frags. But Bombshell Seduction is soft and warm on me. Initial spray is a bit reminiscent of original Bombshell, but that one on me is mostly passionfruit and has a vibrant tartness to it.

Bombshell Seduction lacks that initial sharpness and goes straight into the dry down, which is cozy, simple, and elegant. It isn't very complex or interesting, but it's pleasant and a good every day fragrance for spring. Actually, it reminds me of something a young, upper-middle class new mother would wear to take her infant to the park on a sunny day (if that makes any sense!).

CherriedEmpress 03/06/18 11:44

This is Bombshell, altered slightly. The only difference I noticed that it is more floral. I was hoping the top notes would change after a bit of wearing time, but they just stayed the same and then the scent dissipated.

I smell no tuberose in this.

I sprayed the paper card first and smelled it, then sprayed my arms. I am intimately familiar with the original Bombshell. I have been buying Bombshell products for years, and I sometimes sell the Bombshell products.

It is just not different enough to be called its own perfume. There is no reason to buy Bombshell Seduction 2018 if you own the original Bombshell (unless you collect the Bombshell line of fragrances). The original has very good longevity. A few sprays will last most of the day. In contrast, Bombshell Seduction wore off pretty fast. After I left the store, I could not smell it on my skin, and I could barely even smell it on the card.

They recently released Bombshell Shanghai, which was just Bombshell in a hot pink bottle. VS did note that it was the original Bombshell fragrance, but the advertisements were vague enough to be misleading. Now they take Bombshell, add a drop of difference, and market it as new. :(

P.S. It's also disappointing they keep using the same names for different fragrances every few years. English has the most words out of any language -- you'd think a brand of that stature would be able to flip through a dictionary or something to sell their new product, to differentiate it. It confuses customers. I can think of ten new names for Bombshells off the top of my head.

Mwalton 02/27/18 12:43

I really like the smell of this & no its not just Bombshell. Its very different. I own both right now. A very pretty well done tuberose. Not sharp or nose blinding as some with tuberose can be. The only issue for me is longevity. Bombshell lasts all day on me. This one im only getting about 3 hours. Its still a very lovely scent.

erin.g 02/26/18 09:59

This smells identical to the passionflower body oil that they had not too long ago. It's super light & airy. No wow factor, but definitely a pleasant day time, office scent

FireFlySF 02/20/18 16:42

This is the kind of white floral fragrance that I like: the freshest and yet the lightest tuberose. The sage actually works here to tone the sweetness of the tuberose down and then the musk does its best trick. This version to me is like having a fresh cut bouquet of early budding tuberose in my living room. The pyramid notes in this perfume are very interesting as every note actually lasts to the end and supports each other as an orchestra. I can faintly detect any similarity from its original Bombshell mother. The tuberose just lingers and lingers and...Ugh...I'm stuck with words and can't describe it further. I LOVE it!

The bottom line is that: YES, big thumb up from me, one of the lightest, freshest (without ANY "chemical"), best tuberose/white floral fragrances that I have ever tested. I should have grabbed two big size bottles instead of just one, as I found them online brand new for $35/each (with free shipping). Don't ask :)

I'm willing to pay full price for perfume like this one, which rarely happened to my collecting style :) It is absolutely different and stands out by itself in this Bombshell line, as I have owned many Bombshell versions/flankers so I can compare them all.

Nubia136 02/17/18 15:11

I am really enjoying this version of Bombshell. As soon as I saw that the notes included Tuberose and musk, I had to try it out. I tried to like the original Bombshell but I do not. i don't hate it but I can't get there to even tolerate it. However, I like versions of "Summer" and "Paris" and now "Seduction". I can certainly see buying a back-up of this. When I first sprayed it, I did notice a hint of the original Bombshell that quickly transformed into something alluring to my senses. The more I spray, the less I notice "Bombshell" and more "Seduction".

sda11489 02/17/18 14:43

I LOVE this scent. I am not a huge fan of the original Bombshell, and to me, this version is more floral, fresh, and wearable. It definitely has similarities to the original, but it's redone in a softer fresher way. This is perfect for the upcoming spring and summer months, and it lasts a very long time on the skin. Give it a try!

dannysmom 02/16/18 19:00

If you are looking for tuberose, please move on.. This is Bombshell.. If there are any differences, they are not significant enough to call this a "new" perfume. Paris was different.. The winter one from a couple of years ago was different enough.. This one is just Bombshell, but tweaked a tiny amount. If you own Bombshell, please try before buying.

FireFlySF 02/16/18 11:51

I had bad luck with Jo Malone Tuberose & Angelica Cologne Intense. I love the tuberose in Woman by Ralph Laurent. I did not like the strong and sharp grapefruit/citrus scent in some previous VS Bombshells as it made me sneeze like crazy.

Definitely will spray test this one when it is available in my local VS store, although I'm not sure about the sage in it (I "hate" the Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt Cologne. Hopefully this is the different kind of sage).

RoseGrande 02/16/18 08:38

This one sounds like its going to be really good! Im so excited!
