Pure Seduction - casaba melon, plum, and freesia.

Review from Makeupalley.com
"I feel like a teenager wearing this scent. to me, its kind of cheesy... but it really doesn't disappoint. It is very sweet and fruity but not in a bad way. You will definitely get a lot of attention with this scent because it is sexy and sweet. it's very strong with just one spray. I've found it lasts a long time on clothing too. I spray on my jacket and it's there the next day! the lotion also lasts longer as well."
"I love this stuff!! I really like almost all of VS secret garden smells but this is one of my favorites. I use the soap, lotion, and body mist. It's a very sweet fruity smell. I always get compliments when i use this." "One of my favorites! Fruity and sexy all at the same time...and I usually do not like fruity scents. Not overpowering at all. One of those fragrances that are hard to describe - just smells sweet, sexy, feminine, crisp, and light - without being too girlie and over the top. Lasts as well. I get a lot of compliments when I wear this. Definitely recommend!" "This is my favorite smell among the VS Beauty line. It smells so sweet and fruity, which I love. Guys seem to love it too apparently *lol* Very girlie scent that I'm sure most women will love!"

Love Spell - cherry blossom, peach and white jasmine.

Review from Makeupalley.com
"Love it. A staple. One of my all time favorite scents ever...the sweet grapefruity smell is addictive. I love it in my hair as well..."

"This is such a cute, feminine, light, sweet floral/fruity spray! It's my new everyday scent. And I usually detest floral/fruity smells...so that's saying something. My boyfriend really likes it too. There's something about it that reminds me of marshmallows...haha probably just me."

"I LOVE this scent! VERY pretty and as long as you don't put on too much I don't think that it is too overbearing. The great thing about it is I can put it on in the morning and I can still smell it after a long work day! Will continue to repurchase! I bought 6 different Love Spell products and this was one of them. Love Spell is a tough one for me because I think it smells better on other people than it does on me, but my fiance loves it on me so I still wear it. This spray is nice, but like the EDT it doesn't have a ton of staying power. I usually carry the EDT with me in my purse so I can reapply mid day. I use the body spray in the morning or at night after my shower. Really, any of the VS Garden scents are best when layered."

Strawberries & Champagne - strawberries,champagne and cassis.

Review from Makeupalley.com
"I love Victoria Secret's Strawberries and Champagne. I think it is a great casual or everyday scent. It is for those that like fruity scents with a little bit of tartness. You can definitely smell the champagne, but it is not overwhelming. I highly recommend this if you like fruity smells. It would be good for the summer." "This is the first Victoria's Secret Garden body spray that I ever purchased and I am IN LOVE with it! I wear it in the daytime when I am at school, and I wear it at night when I go on dates (my boyfriend loves the smell!). This scent is very versatile and smells delicious! It isn't too overpowering either! LOVES IT!"
"I know this doesn't smell good on everyone, but it works well on me.I never thought I would like something strawberry scented, I think it's the combination of the light fruit with sandalwood that makes it work on me. It compliments me very well.And it's definitely an aphrodisiac.;) I didn't discover this until recently and wish I had tried it long ago.I definitely recommend trying it first because I can see where it wouldn't work on some people , but I absolutely love it - a new sweet and sexy scent for me!" "This is a strong scent but after a while when it wears off a little bit, it smells better! This is a unique fruity kinda scent...kinda sexy and daring. It's like a seductive strawberry smell lol. I like the body spray because it's not too strong. Just 2 sprays will do because like I mentioned before, it's strong"

Romantic Wish - pomegranate, freesia and cucumber blossom.

Review from Makeupalley.com
"One of the best Secret Garden scents ever, This is one of the only scents from the collection that I never get bored of. It has something fresh and delicious about it that is similar to watermelon, but it also smells pretty and deep. For a fruity scent, this one is definitely sexy! My boyfriend loves when I wear this. It lasts pretty long for a body spray. Romantic Wish has some of the same characteristics as Pure Seduction, but this is not as sweet and candy like. I hope they keep this scent around!"

"Love this scent from VS. Smells like watermelon and a bit of floral...not too fruity or tart like some of the other scents they carry. Have this in the lotion and edt and people alway ask what I'm wearing."
"This smells so very soft and melon-ish. I really love the scent, it's so delicious. It's so very light and lovely that it can be worn anywhere. I already repurchased this, and have it's complete set. A major plus of this, is that when you layer on the lotion and the little perfume bottle it can last all day without re-application."

"Romantic Wish is my favorite VS scent. I have nearly everything in it. It reminds me of watermelon. My best friend (who is a guy) love this scent. It's great and light for summer, which is when I use it most. I sometimes splash some on in the winter for a fun mental summer vacation or something. Highly recommended!!!"

Amber Romance - black cherry, cream anglaise and sandalwood

Review from Makeupalley.com
"Delicious warm sensual scent can be worn year round since it's a splash. Lasts for a body splash. I don't know what the heck amber smells like but this smells like vanilla to me." "This is such a nice scent that I overlooked and underestimated for years! I like how this is a musky type of scent, but it is also fresh due to the black cherry that stands out in this fragrance. People who like deep scents like me are likely to appreciate this fragrance, and this is quite light for a musky fragrance. Lasting power is very good though, especially for a body spray. If you are only used to fruity, light scents, then you might call this "old lady" or have a hard time getting used to Amber Romance. To me, this fragrance reminds me of autumn: crisp, comforting, soothing. I especially love wearing this in cold weather, but it can be worn at any time. Amber Romance is the most sophisticated Secret Garden scent, in my opinion, along with my favorite (Vanilla Lace). It is at such a great prize for the quality too."

"I like this scent when I'm going out. It's a very sexy scent! With warm vanilla, caramel and a touch of amber. It turns sweet on me and I like sweet scents. I love it I don't wear it during the day I wear love spell during the day. I don't think it smells like an old lady since I wear it and I'm not old. Rose perfumes remind me of old ladies. I love this scent!"

"I really like this fragrance. It's a wonderful earthy, woodsy scent with hints of sweet vanilla and musk and spicy sandalwood, pepper, and almost a patchouli smell throughout. This is my favorite, along with Pure Seduction, from Victoria's Secret." "Very warm and sexy. Kind of musky with a light powdery undertone."

Sweet Daydream - apple, raspberries and vanilla.

Review from Makeupalley.com
"Sweet Daydream is clean and soft...has apple,raspberry,vanilla...smells sweet and nice..." " love this scent. I am not a big fan of VS garden scents but this one smells sooo good! Very fresh smelling, which I love I cannot stand heavy scents. I recommend it highly!"

"Very nice scent from the Secret Garden collection! I was a bit cautious that this had "sweet" in the name, because I do not like sugary, cotton candy scents. This has a nice amount delicious sweetness, reminding me of candy apples. I love vanilla as well, and this has some of those undertones in there. This is Country Apple-meets-Pure Seduction. It is very crisp and has an apple smell to it, but it is also sweet, rich, and sensual. It lasts long and is a very nice addition to the Secret Garden collection."

"Delicious fragrance! I love anything with vanilla, and I can smell it in this fragrance. I am also a fan of crisp apple notes, and that is the most predominant smell in this scent. Sweet Daydream does smell a bit like country apple, but a little more mature. It lasts for a long time and has an edible sexy quality to it. Reminds me a little of candy apples. Like Pure Seduction, this is both sweet and deep. I think this is one of the best Secret Garden scents out there"

Endless Love - apple blossom, honey dew & ylang ylang.

Review from Makeupalley.com
" I love this scent from VS! It's so light and refreshing. The blue color matches the scent exactly. It has the perfect balance of being sweet and spicy while being very light. Definitely one of my favorites."

"Endless Love body spray is so uplifting. After I apply this spray, I am so energized and fresh smelling. I just love the candy-like ( skittle) scent of this one. I also detect some flower and some soap scent. It just is very calm and romantic smelling. The packaging is great. Pretty blue color, easy to spray. I am just so in love with this Endless Love from VS. Great buy and I suggest you try this one for yourself. I keep this in my bag and spray it different times during the day. Everyone tells me how great this one smells. YUMMMY!"

"Overall I like this product. When I don't feel like wearing my other perfumes which are eau de parfum, this is very light and nicely scented. It reminds me of flowers and fruits, in fact it smells like a blend of spring and summer. My guy friends always comment on how nice I smell whenever I wear it. And I've been using it now for almost 2 months and the bottle is still very near the top. I think this is going to last for a very long time."

"Cottonseed and jasmine blend. At least that's what it smells like, other than COMPLETELY AMAZING! I love the body lotion, too! It's a great passionate, sexy, yet romantic scent for almost anyone!"

"A nice inexpensive light body spray. The scent is similar to Love Spell to me, but a deeper scent that is not quite as sweet."

Vanilla Lace - vanilla, orchid, amber and musk

Review from Makeupalley.com
"Smells delicious! Just rediscovered this in my closet, wore it today, and was pleasantly surprised! When I think of vanilla, I usually associate it with cooking or air fresheners, not body sprays. However, this isn't sickly sweet like pure vanilla extract. It's warmer and lighter. I cannot smell any amber notes...I usually run screaming in the opposite direction of anything too amber-y, so if it's in there, it's definitely not overpowering or I wouldn't wear it!""This and Romantic Wish are my favorites in the Secret Garden collection. This is a warm, cozy, soft vanilla with a touch of amber to it. It is rich and creamy rather than sweet and foody. I like how it is subtle, but still noticeable and very feminine. I think it is very sophisticated and long lasting for a body spray. This fragrance always makes me feel comforted, and it smells so lovely. It's great for any occasion and uplifts my mood, which is exactly what a good scent should do."

"oh vanilla lace, how i love thee....yummmm it's long lasting, love the light yet sweet scent, not too overly sweet though....I use this after the lotion aned the scent is so divine and last for hours and hours, the SO loves to snuggle up and take long whiffs of this stuff in--LOL--"

"Love it!! This is a soft, soothing, and elegant vanilla. Even though I like other Secret Garden fragrances, this one is my favorite. It is the most sophisticated one and the dry down is amazing. The dry down is a creamy, yet musky (and slightly ambery) vanilla. It seems to have smoky, vanilla incense undertones, making it really sensual and sexy. Vanilla Lace is quite a deep fragrance for a body spray, so minimal is needed, and it lasts for a great amount of time. VS better not discontinue!"

"My favorite vanilla scent, ever! Very warm and sensual but also sweet at the same time. I have a tendency to love foody smells so this really suits me. Will definitely repurchase if I run out."

Berry Kiss - wild raspberry, praline and rose.

Review from Makeupalley.com
"This review is for the body mist.....I haven't tried the lotion yet. But anyway, I've only had this for a day and actually really really like it. Already gotten compliments on it too. I'm not going to rave too much because last time that happened with a VS product I ended up over dosing on it and hating it lol So I'll have to update later.....but as of now I think it's fabulous! This one is really hard to describe though.....but to me it's just really feminine and pretty.....not too fruity or obnoxious like a lot of the other garden scents."

"This is one of the best VS Garden scents to debut in a long, long time. It is a combination of raspberry, praline and rose...I don't really smell the praline in there but it does give a slight cupcake kick to the fruity raspberry notes. This scent is truly wonderful, which means they'll probably discontinue it! I will be sure to stock up on this one."

"This is the only VS scent I have finished a bottle of lotion in. This sells better than Love Spell and certainly smells more 'grown up' without sacrificing some sweetness. For me, this is a smooth fruity floral. My favorite! I like this formulation better than the old one."

"Wild blackberry, praline and rose. This is actually selling better than Love Spell right now!! It smells like the berry one they had before but more sweet/flowery. It's really nice. Sorry I can't really do a better description, go sniff it your self. The lotion is nice for layering but I prefer the body butter."

Delicate Petals - tangerine, velvet rose and musk.

Review from Makeupalley.com
"A very refreshing rose smell. I can detect tangerine too. Great for any day, anytime. Will buy again, definitely will."

"I'm usually not a fan of body sprays, they always seem to smell cheap on me. This one smells fantastic! It's a warm rose smell. You can smell a hint of the tangerine, IMO, the tangerine makes it "fresh smelling" and keeps it from being too boring of a scent. The bottle is really cute and pretty. This is great just for a casual day out or to go to school in. I got a few compliments on it already. "

"I just bought Delicate Petals today in the Hydrating Body Lotion, the Refreshing Body Mist, and the Eau De Toilette and it's a GORGEOUS scent. It's a fruity floral, leaning towards the floral side. This is a very delicate, angelic, and feminine fragrance, and like the previous reviewer stated, a perfect fragrance for spring. Will update once I wear it! UPDATE: Gosh this smells like heaven. Can definitely smell the tangerine and rose notes. Quickly becoming one of my favorite Garden scents!"

"I just bought Delicate Petals today and I am in LOVE. I purchased the hand creme, spray, EDT, body butter and shower gel. The staying power is fantastic - this is a fairly strong fragrance so I will use sparingly. This is a scent comprised of tangerine, rose petals and musk. The three notes blend together to form a lovely, fresh spring fragrance. It is VERY VERY VERY similar to the Ed Hardy perfume, but it is thankfully less than half the price of Ed Hardy. It is also in a much better looking bottle, thank god, no gaudy tattoo prints here. The VS packaging is simple and girly. I just love this."
