Wicked Eau de Parfum
by Victoria's Secret
Wicked Eau de Parfum by Victoria's Secret is a sweet, gourmand vanilla with prominent brown sugar and Tahitian vanilla notes, lightly accented with freesia that adds freshness and a touch of floral sophistication. The scent unfolds as a soft, warm, and slightly powdery vanilla-creamy accord with a subtle caramel-like sweetness, evoking a delicate, indulgent feel. It wears beautifully on the skin, with a moderate sillage that starts strong but fades to a skin-level presence after about an hour, and holds true for up to six hours depending on the wearer’s chemistry. The fragrance is unfussy and easy to wear, making it suitable for daily wear or special occasions, particularly in fall and winter, though some users report it performs well in warmer weather too.
Pros
- +A delicately sweet, soft gourmand scent with a well-balanced composition that feels elegant and refined
- +Good performance and longevity for a Victoria’s Secret scent, with some users reporting up to six hours on the skin
- +The freesia note adds a layer of freshness and maturity without overwhelming the vanilla-sugar base
Cons
- −Performances are inconsistent across wearers, with moderate longevity and a tendency to become a skin scent quickly
- −The overwhelmingly sweet profile may feel cloying or overly sugary to those sensitive to gourmands
- −The name "Wicked" is misleading—it’s not spicy, deep, or dark; it’s floral and feminine, which may disappoint those expecting a bolder, more complex scent
