Bombshell, an Eau de Parfum for women launched by Victoria’s Secret in September 2010, brings together Brazilian purple passion fruit, Shangri-La peony and Madagascar vanilla orchid. The house adds an Italian pine, which it presents as the fragrance’s distinctive touch, and places it in the fruity floral family. Its faceted bottle wears a black collar with a gold VS monogram.
The house opens Bombshell on the radiance of Brazilian purple passion fruit. The heart blossoms around Shangri-La peony, presented as the fragrance’s floral signature, wrapped in the creamy sweetness of Madagascar vanilla orchid.
The Italian pine
The house credits the most distinctive touch of Bombshell to a sun-drenched Italian pine, which it mentions in its description without counting it among the three main notes. This resinous note brings a woody counterpoint to the fruit and the flower.
Three notes since 2010
The three notes announced at launch, in 2010, are the ones the house highlights today: passion fruit, peony and vanilla orchid. The house details no base notes.
What the label declares
The ingredient list pairs lemon and bergamot oils with synthetic materials, including hexamethylindanopyran, a musk, and tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes, an ambery wood. Pinene echoes the Italian pine; limonene, citral and linalool belong to citrus and flowers.
