Amber Romance
by Victoria's Secret
Amber Romance presents a light, sweet, and creamy gourmand scent with prominent vanilla, custard, and amber notes. While cherry is listed as a top note, its presence is inconsistent and often faint, with many users reporting either no cherry or cherry that quickly fades. The scent leans gourmand with a soft, powdery sweetness, enhanced by lactonic and woody elements, creating a comforting, warm aroma reminiscent of sweet baked goods or a cozy bedroom. It performs well as a layering scent—especially with matching VS body lotions—and is frequently worn in autumn and winter. Despite nostalgic appreciation for older formulations, the current version is widely viewed as weak in longevity and sillage, with many noting it fades quickly and lacks projection. Though praised for its pleasant, non-overpowering sweetness, the modern version is often described as slimmer and more soapy than previous iterations.
