Victoria's Secret Bombshell Italian Iris
by Victoria's Secret
Victoria's Secret Bombshell Italian Iris is a light, airy, and powdery floral fragrance with a delicate iris heart and subtle sweet pops of orris root and poppy. The scent is clean and refreshing, with a gentle softness that makes it ideal for warm weather—particularly spring and summer. Many users describe it as a more refined take on the original Bombshell, with less fruity sugar and more sophisticated floral powdery notes, evoking a soft, romantic, and minimal aura. The dry down reveals a light, slightly sweet woody candy-like finish, giving the perfume a pleasantly comforting, skin-scent quality that lingers just enough, though longevity is low. It doesn't project strongly—sillage is modest, often feeling intimate or barely noticeable on the skin. The fragrance stands out not for its bold presence, but for its quiet grace, reminiscent of a handkerchief lightly scented with violet and iris.
