Tease Eau de Parfum 2020
by Victoria's Secret
Tease Eau de Parfum 2020 is a soft, youthful fragrance with a delicate balance of fruity, floral, and sweet notes. It opens with bright pear and white gardenia, creating a fresh, airy profile that feels clean and light—similar to a sweet pear juice with a hint of floral bar soap. The vanilla and powdery base gives it a gentle, gourmand sweetness without becoming cloying or candy-like. It evolves into a quietly sweet, slightly powdery vanilla that lingers lightly on skin and clothes. The scent is linear and unassuming, making it suitable for casual daytime wear and generally wearable year-round, especially in cooler environments. While it performs moderately with moderate sillage and longevity, it is not a strong or long-lasting fragrance, and may require reapplication. The overall impression is of a simple, effervescent, clean-smelling scent that feels girly, safe, and approachable—ideal for those who appreciate straightforward, feminine perfumes with a subtle personality.
