Tease Heartbreaker
by Victoria's Secret
This gourmand fragrance combines creamy vanilla, tonka bean, and whipped cream with a bright, tart top note of star fruit. The result is a sweet, tropical scent with a subtle green freshness that gives it a more nuanced character than typical fruity gourmands. The perfume has a soft, comforting quality reminiscent of Brown Sugar & Fig by Body by Body, with a warm, velvety base that feels more mature than expected. It stays true to its core profile throughout the wear, featuring a gentle shift from fruity effervescence to a milky, vanilla-forward finish. While it lacks strong projection or longevity, it offers a light, intimate scent best suited for cooler months. Despite comparisons to Pink Friday by Nicki Minaj, it lacks that fragrance's sharp, fruity intensity and instead settles into a smooth, sweet, milky almondy tone that suits a more mature teen or young adult.
