Best Bombshell by Victoria's Secret Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

Gratia Aestiva is Latin for “summer grace”, and this extrait is an absolute abundance of sundrunk fruit. Punchy pineapple, melon and strawberry wave a big HELLO right out of the bottle, while passion fruit, with its tangy, grapefruit bite, tempers the sweetness with rawness. Indian jasmine adds floral fullness on a spiced bed of coriander and ambered woods. On the right side of too much.

Matilde Bonaparte, niece of Napoleon I, was known for her breasts (“le plus beau décolleté”) and her talent as a painter. She also hosted a celebrated 19th-century Parisian salon attended by the greatest artists and writers of her time. This namesake perfume is an olfactory salon of provocative white florals (ylang-ylang, narcissus, jasmine) given tropical succulence with passion fruit and papaya. Mathilde’s heady brightness is softened by iris and sandalwood.

A game that begins without warning. The urge to break the rules. A gaze that holds. Azureblush bursts with the tangy brightness of rhubarb with the juicy sweetness of lychee. Peony then softens and rounds the composition with a sunny floral facet, giving the fragrance its luminous and addictive dimension.

A vivid burst of green/fruity rhubarb and watery/rosy lychee sets the weekend mood. It’s pink sweatshirt day, and the scent matches the vibe. Witty, not cute — we’re not trying too hard, here. Sour cranberry cuts strawberry’s sweetness, and Champagne crispness is offset by white musk. You catch yourself in the mirror: “I’m good like this.”

Refocus and reconnect with yourself with joy. With its deliciously fruity aromas, this fragrance brings us a feeling of warmth and fullness.

"For Davana & Vanille Bourbon, I wanted a gourmet Vanilla reminiscent of Pasteis de nata, a famous Portuguese pastry whose traditional recipe can be found in Lisbon. Its sweet scent takes me back to my childhood in the streets of the capital during peaceful days with my family. These precious and happy moments were an unprecedented inspiration for this fragrance. The fruity and herbaceous facet of Davana essential oil is then softened by a warm and appetizing Vanilla to reveal a modern and striking chypre."

The charming and playful dancer warms up before her debut. Talented and passionate she radiates confidence and anticipation. Deliciously, exciting and unexpected. Sweet almond and ripe cherries contrast with sandalwood and vanilla for a floral, sweet and woody intensity.

FLORIAN GALLO

Pluie de Soleil is a sunny fruity floral. Lemon and bergamot give Pluie de Soleil a fresh opening followed by delicate hints of freesia, white peach and strawberry.

The central fruity floral facet rests on a base of sandalwood, cashmeran and vanilla. With its title translating as 'It’s raining Sun’ Pluie de Soleil is a joyful, vivacious fragrance evocative of a Mediterranean summer.

“Bain de minuit” is French for “skinny dipping”, and what could be more decadent than a midnight splash au natural in a giant vat of strawberries, cherries and vanilla? The initial fruity-tootiness gives way to a tough ‘n’ tropical accord of monoï oil and leather, with jasmine and praline singing the high and low harmonies.

Inspired by the iconic cocktail Piña Colada, Kajal Kolada pays homage to escape and blissful pleasure. Kolada starts as it means to go on with a skyscraper pineapple, given an assertive twist by a metallic lily-of-the valley accord. The uneasy alliance of tropical fruit with this mineral floral is fleshed out with creamy coconut milk and amber. A provocative perfume.
