XO Victoria

XO Victoria by Victoria's Secret is a light, fresh, and feminine floral fragrance with prominent notes of green apple, rose, and ivy. It opens with a crisp, juicy apple that quickly gives way to a delicate, dewy floral bouquet of rose and green notes, creating a crisp, clean, and airy scent reminiscent of an English garden in spring. The fragrance is not overly sweet or gourmand, making it a refreshing alternative to the heavier sweet or vanilla-based scents typically associated with the brand. It has a subtle, powdery softness that lends elegance without aggression, and the overall scent is described as serene, girly, and timeless — ideal for daytime wear during spring and summer. Some note a soapy or clean linen quality, while others detect a faint, subtle green ivy that enhances the freshness without overwhelming the floral core. Despite its appealing character, it is consistently reported to have weak longevity, with most noting it fades within three to four hours, even when applied generously. Personal experiences vary — some dislike the rose or find the drydown too herbal or soapy — but the consensus remains that it performs best as a light, pleasant, non-intrusive scent for warm weather and casual wear.
