Very Sexy Now 2017
by Victoria's Secret
Very Sexy Now 2017 is a bright, tropical fruity-floral that leans heavily into guava and coconut, with a fresh, summery feel. It's best suited for warm weather and feels like a vacation in a bottle—light, playful, and beachy. The guava note is prominent and gives it a juicy, tropical twist, while the coconut is subtle but present enough to add a soft, creamy texture. There are hints of floral and vanilla in the drydown, making it slightly sweet without being cloying. The scent is widely praised for its tropical vibe, reminiscent of summer days at the beach or a frozen tropical drink. However, it lacks longevity; most users report it wears out quickly, requiring reapplication. While some find it vibrant and uplifting, others describe it as generic or even synthetic—some even report headaches or nausea, especially on sensitive skin. It’s consistently voted for summer, almost exclusively by women, and is best worn during the day.
