Breathless Victoria`s Secret for women

Yes, this is very reminiscent of Glow, but not quite as "soapy". It definitely has a summery, sunny vibe - but there is something about it that conjures up more dusk imagery instead of mid-day: the sun is setting, painting the sky an orangey-red, heat still rising from sand and sun-kissed skin, faint traces of sunscreen, on the way to a beach bonfire, a kind of drowsy comfort... Subtly sensual. Really enjoyable and wearable!! Glad I own a bottle, hope to be able to stock up at the next SAS.

On me, this is nothing like Lolavie. I like Breathless much better. The neroli is very dominant. (Lolavie is all jasmine.) This is a very fresh and clean, almost soapy floral. It reminds me very much of JLo Glow.

Love this so beachy...Reminds me of Coppertone suntan lotion.

Yummy! so fresh and yummy clean smelling, if you dislike or find jlo glow boring, go for this!

I don't really quite know what to make of this to be honest. Can it be considered beachy? I guess. Is it clean smelling? Well, possibly.

At first spray all I got was a big punch of citrus. It stayed that way and as time went on the citrus slowly settles down and gradually fades. What's left is a chemical mix that could be called clean, but could also be called beachy by its similarity to the chemical smells in suntan lotion (and not the good coconut scented ones.) There's nothing sweet or overly floral, its just really chemical. Now as time fades I assume this is rather pleasant on the skin in a clean, suntan lotion, beach kind of way. Its both pleasant, and yet unpleasant.

It kind of baffles me because I do like beachy scents. But if ever there was a fragrance to remind you of all the harmful chemicals you're spraying onto your body this would be it. So a part of me is kind of repulsed by this.

Maybe I'll try it out again and see if it was just that particular day.

Just got it today. It is in the arena of jlow,jennifer aniston and that nice clean smell,beach and this has a hint of green. Nice,

Victoria’s Secret has a way of taking fragrant gems and trading them in for of-the-moment pop fads and diabetic-shock-inducing confections that last no longer than a year. I understand the company does have to expand and change as its age demographic expands and changes but too often they throw out the babe with the bath water. In this case Breathless is the precocious babe with much potential that got tossed on its rear to make way for something generic and sugar-berry scented.

At the start Breathless is a relatively authentic orange blossom-y fragrance amplified, thanks to a heavy dose of orange blossom (not listed), neroli, and citruses. Nice, but the same can be said about Sung, Henri Bendel Orange Blossom & Jasmine, Sanborn’s Orange Blossom Cologne and many, many more. Wait it out a few minutes and be rewarded with the most sensual—if not flat-out sexual—your-skin-but-infinitely-better musk. It’s reminiscent of J. Lo’s Glow. However, Glow incorporates the scent of freshly scrubbed naked skin, the towel that is wrapped around the naked skin, the dryer sheet that’s still attached to the towel, the moisturizer on the naked skin, the shampoo, the conditioner … to the point the wearer has forgotten about the naked skin. Breathless is about freshly washed naked skin, out of the shower without a towel, and a significant other who cannot keep his or her hands to themselves. It’s naughty and fun, as should be expected from Victoria’s Secret, purveyors of lacy, silky, sexy naughtiness.

Breathless is satisfyingly long-lasting and thank goodness for that; I love the subtle sweetness of my skin, but better, here. It leaves a sexy trail that will have many asking, “What is that bewitching scent?” I found myself catching whiffs of this scent, smiling, and feeling a million times sexier than I felt before I put this on.

Ahhh... I adore my little bottle o' Breathless. Summery, sunscreen-y happiness, bottled. Better than most other "beachy" scents out there- yes Bobbi Brown Beach, Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess and your sisters, I'm calling you out. No flames please, just speaking my truth. :)

Ok this is the first and only true beach scent for me. I don't smell any of the notes that are supposed to be in it, It smells like someone bottled up the beach. IT'S PERFECT. My perfect beachy summer scent. Reminds me of growing up in Florida. I am in love. I got a bottle on amazon for $25.

Nice classy scent. I wouldn't wear this myself but I would buy it for my mom or something.

I picked up a bottle of this today, along with the body lotion, because they were both 50% off. It looks like VS will be discontinuing this one and a couple of others soon (I saw "So In Love" on the half off display also). It's a light orange scent on me - not so much orange like the fruit, but the orange blossom flower. I wish that I had tried this one out sooner!

This by far is the most different smelling out of my Fruity/floral smelling fragrances. However, it is such a settle and really "Breathless" smell. Like, not uplifting, and not exactly calming...just peaceful and fresh. It does have a rather...soapy/Clean smell to it, NOT the kind of smell as bathroom sprays though...its way too...aromaticly fresh. I think its a cold weather smell if that make sense. Like cool breezes in the fall and winter when you have that hot sweater dress on and knee high boots. I feel like it "matches" my outfits better when I wear them as opposed to summer spaghetti straps. However, it would go nice on a nice cooler summer day...I can see a loose fitting top or dress, flowing in the breeze. So, in a nut shell, not for hot summer days, but nice cool or cold weather :)

really breathless!!!unique smell!the new realises from VS are not good at all,but the older ones like this one are great!

I just got this perfume for the first time, most of the reviewers say that its best for summer, but I think it's a little too heavy for summer or spring. Personally, it reminds me of warm fall nights. Smells sweet, clean and little bit like soap (not in a bad way), lasts long, the only thing I mind about it is that it doesn't smell "expensive" enough. I don't love it, but will wear it on occasion, good for both day and night.

One of the only scents I've ever sniffed that left me with the feeling of not smelling...anything at all. There's a vague woodsy perfume dancing around the edges, but there's absolutely nothing in the middle except for a plasticky, cheap note. Strange. I normally steer clear of Victoria's Secret's perfumes--I got this free from my mom, who didn't like it either--and this confirmed why.

This sure is the ultimate clean-straight from the shower-scent for an amazingly good price (75ml for not more than $45) !! Smells like an classical soap with natural citrus-oils and lots of magical linden (lime-blossom). Clean Clean Clean. The most perfect soapy clean scent i've tried. Fresh as early green summer. Clean like the waters of north. A summer-maiden in a white cotton-dress. Pure natural blonde beauty. Like the cleanest linen and cotton-laundry drying in the summer-winds. Very long-lasting too. This was given to me as a gift, i would never had bought it as my experiences with Victoria's Secret-line hasn't been the best (fruity teen-scents). This is like nothing else in their line - and for all ages!! Love it!!

This smells similar to the new Jennifer Aniston but brighter and lasts longer. Both "beachy" and both very different than most on the market today. Overall, good scent - if you can still find it. Happy Summer!

A winter warmer! I love the lushness of the sandalwood combined with the neroli. I find this is a sweet fragrance, but not sickly sweet - far from it. It has a lovely sweetness and has good longevity too.

this smells like jlo glow!

I didn't like the scent at first and only bought it because it was a sale I couldn't resist - but after about 5 minutes I couldn't believe how wonderful it was. Seems to get better the longer you have it on.

i really do like this for a summer fragrance. It is intoxicating. There is large amounts of sun-screen scent in it. But more of a sun-drench beach day!

when i first tried it i did not like it, but the second time i tried it ,i realy finaly got it. it's love the second time around

I am soooo picky and this one is by far my favorite...I agree with Caosnmotion though the lotion and body wash are not the business, but the spray is so beautiful! I find it where ever i can these days...saving up for the semi annual sale lol

um...I didn't find this fragrance to be that great. I guess it's just me. My mother-in-law loves it. It just didn't leave ME or my husband breathless. Too bad.

I always thought of this scent as a fizzy orange flower.

very flowery and thick. behind the flowers, there is a sweetness and a citrus but it does not cause the scent to be fresh. more interesting than a lot of victorias secrets and probably good for the office.

I dont even know how to describe this scent its just intoxicating<3
i love it!!! its like no other

I have the perfume and the bodywash and I can tolerate the perfume but the bodywash smells to soapy on my skin... it's an odd fragrance that I'm not really that fond of but do wear upon occassion.
