Have you worn Victoria?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. Lecherrysodaa

    It smells like fabric softener, detergent, and freshness at first, but once it dries, it leaves fruity and caramel notes—a total masterpiece. I bought the perfume, the body lotion, the roll-on, the glitter, and the cream. It doesn’t project much, but on your skin, it smells absolutely delicious, and the bottle is gorgeous.

  2. brendilucente

    Smells amazing, but the sillage is lacking. It definitely has all the ingredients described. Since I’m a huge fan of gourmand scents, what I love most is the crème brûlée; I think that’s what makes it special with the roses. I adored the campaign with Behati Prinsloo, and the bottle is divine.

  3. Sweet, tender, and feminine. It would make a great gift. I really liked the bottle, and it seems to reflect the scent perfectly.

    I bought it because my favorite YouTuber raves about it. The bottle is pretty and reminds me of Nina Ricci’s, but that’s the only thing in common. I’m frustrated because once it dries on my skin, it smells like insecticide. At first, I thought it was my skin and I was devastated, but then I bought Paris Hilton miniatures, and those work fine. I don’t get it; maybe my Victoria is going bad, but other perfumes from the brand like ‘Angel’ do the same thing: they smell terrible once they dry.

    Sweet and gourmand, but the longevity and sillage are weak. It doesn’t stand out much, though it’s quite pleasant and casual 🙂

    Sweet and gourmand… The longevity and sillage are weak. It’s not meant to stand out, but I think it’s quite pleasant and casual 🙂

  7. I bought it for the bottle; I know it’s silly, but I told myself: if I don’t like the liquid, at least it has to be in my vanity without fuss ; ). Without reading the notes, I imagined a red, acidic fruit, like green cherries, and that opening caught me off guard because I hate sour things and adore citrus. Then the sweetness arrived, like cherries with melted caramel, and although I was doubtful, letting it dry down was key: the rose saves the perfume. I recognize my notes and it’s rich, not disappointing as a gourmand, but I would have wanted the rose to dominate and not the cherry, which, without that sweet touch, I wouldn’t be able to stand. The longevity is short, around 3 hours on me, and the sillage is skin-deep. In the end, it fulfills its original purpose: decorating, heh, heh, heh.
