Very Sexy Dare Victoria`s Secret for women

it smells DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!! it smells like a mens colonge mixed with pencil shavings and plastic!!! u would find me dead wearing this fragrance

I got this as a gift. I didnt like it when I smelled the bottle, but then I sprayed some on myself and wow! its a fragrance with character. Woody and spicy its a great perfume, so different from the many florals or fruity florals out there and I am syaing that when I love Clinique Happy, Lancome Miracle, Brilliant White Diamonds, Eternity Moment and Gucci Flora. This one differes from all of them and just smells awesome.

this is by far the most unique out of VS fragrances which are mostly nice but generic. I got a bottle when it was on sale due to being discontinued.
I don't know about floral notes but they don't come through a whole lot for me-its all about blood orange, bergamot, saldalwood and musk.
Hmm, on my skin it pretty much smells like ripe juicy orange, after a while it mellows out into woodsy musk with still, lot of citrus. Very interesting and unique scent. I like to wear it layered with Orange Sapphire from BBW(also discontinued)as it compliments it perfectly. I can't say its my favorite scent but its very unique and i will give VS props for it. I could see it not selling well because of that since its bound not to appeal to most women

I love VSD body mist. I have found that I can mix this up w/ fruity/berry lotions, or woodsy perfumes, or vanilla shampoos and conditioners... I like to also spray gardenia on top of it. Makes for a tropical jungle sorta thing!

This is a versatile body mist. I have even layered it with BBW Forever Sunshine which has a sort of tobacco leaf scent to it. In fact this is my "go to" when I'm in a hurry on my way to work, or if I have to run to the store in the morning for coffee beans and milk (pre-shower). I didn't even know this was discontinued until I read these reviews!

Victoria's Secret is making a mistake if you ask me. This seemed like such a more complex and "grown up" scent than their other ones which I found to be too flowery, or boring and headache inducing. Really, I rolled my eyes at everything in that store until I finally found this little gem.

If you want to know what the deal is with this one, its ALL about the BLOOD ORANGE baby! That is what I smell and that is what brings me back day after day. I am a spicy/woodsy/earthy/oriental scent type of person (Kalimantan and 02 L'air du Desert Marocain are my newest loves), and this one really jumped out and bit me. I am also a foodie, so for me, this was just spot on (though not heavy or dark like my normal orientals) light, fun, easy, pleasing, and makes me smile. It has TONKA BEAN and JASMINE too?! Heaven for sure!

Needless to say, I just ordered 6 of the 8.2 oz body mists off of ebay, and may buy 6 more. I can NOT be without this. BOO & HISS to Victoria's Secret for discontinuing this.

More-ish blood orange spiced with nutmeg makes for an attractive opening. Bergamot zest facilitates the reluctant emergence of a sparse bouquet, stems soaking in unsweetened pineapple juice.

Very Sexy Dare is a delightful treat for my nose and a beautiful fragrance to wear.

Base notes of sandal/tonka and musk nudge VSD out of semi-masculine aromatic territory into untamed sultry seductress terrain.

The whole thing just thickens up and goes from WHOA to WOW!

I think I'll be giving VS Dare a decent workout this Spring.

Tried this one recently, reminds of Angel innocent body lotion!

This is quite an unusual scent for Victoria's Secret, one of the few that isn't a generic fruity-floral. It's a lot of juicy citrus, combined with some warm nutmeg and woods. I don't really get any floral notes from this.

It is quite masculine smelling from the nutmeg and citrus, so it does have that aftershave-type quality. I don't find myself wearing it much, so I don't know if I will bother keeping it.

I really like this perfume.it has a unique odor that I haven't find in any other perfume specially women's perfume.and I like that woody smell it makes the perfume smell kinda old and professonal!I don't know how to say it but I'm satisfied with it.I have the big bottle and I like it.and I think that smell which is like men's clone makes it sexy dare!

nice scent on me but it has a plastic like dry down.. ^_^

I bought the EDP because it was on sale at VS for 75% off. Now since it was so highly discounted, I knew it wasn't popular but I decided to buy it just because it was only $12.
Maybe I'm just not into aromatic woody scents but this smells like a man's cologne to me. There is nothing sweet, feminine or even "sexy" about this scent. I guess I just like my fruity florals too much. This is another one I will be giving to my mom.

The scent would be a very interesting and even sexy scent for me if there was not so much PINEAPPLE! It's not the fresh kind of pineapple-more like pineapple juice with pineapple liqueur-cloying rather than sweet-not so refreshing, as I would expect an aromatic to be. I like the herbal note (bergamot and nutmeg combined smell), and I like the tonka bean-rich base, but stickiness in perfume=yuck...

I haven't tried any other Victoria's Secret fragrances in the last 2 years,
I'm not anti floral fruity by any means-
I would like to try more, but let me know which other VS fragrances are sticky, so I can try them last-or just bypass them altogether.

I like this one and its purple bottle. It's better than Very Sexy.

Victoria's Secret VERY SEXY DARE opens bright, with a burst of spicy citrus, and is so aromatic that it could be a unisex scent. The fragrance however then proceeds nearly immediately--within a couple of minutes--to develop into a rather woody scent. Not at all what one might expect from VS, and even less for something with the name VERY SEXY. Maybe the DARE is to wear aftershave?

No, it's not quite that aromatic, but it is pretty challenging to find florals amidst either the citrus in the opening or the woods in the drydown. The spiciness, from the nutmeg, is detectable from start to finish. The most interesting feature of VS DARE is that it opens cool but closes warm. But since the drydown comes so quickly, I would say that this is more woody than aromatic. Something like taking a quick, cold shower before running into a sauna.

It sounds like a fragrance blasphemy but I need to confess: I bought it unsniffed purely because it was on sale and I needed to add something to the order so I could use a VS coupon. I wasn't hoping for a great scent since some time ago I bought VS giftset with 12 little perfumes and they all seemed a bit generic and boring. Don't get me wrong, they were all quite bearable but I couldn't pick anything special from that giftset. I decided to go for Very Sexy Dare since I never tried it and I kinda liked the bottle. I was worrying this experiment would turn into another return... but boy, was I wrong. From the first spray Very Sexy Dare created a magnificent aura of blood orange and peony. One single spray lasted more than 8 hours and dried down to a beautiful musk. It started a bit masculine but sensuous at the same time. It took my heart and my nose away just like that, from the first spray. I feel slight resemblance between VSD and Crystal Noir by Versace though all the notes are different. Those fragrances are very delicate and so mysteriously intoxicating at the same time. I cannot believe they discontinue VSD! It doesn't smell like any of teen VS scents which makes it so unique. It's a fragrant crime to stop making this amazing magical perfume. I have a feeling Very Sexy Dare lovers will start stocking up gallons of this scent for years ahead. I would too.

Tested this a VS the other day and wore it for a few hours while running around the mall. WEll, the opening notes are so juicy, fresh and delicious. Absolutely adore those top notes. ;'D If only the scent could stay that way. As it dries down it starts to smell a little strange and I absolutely smell something herbal that reminds me of toothpaste! AHH! NO! CAn't deal with that. LOL! If it weren't for that I would have bought this in a heartbeat! ;')

Sharp, bright clear grapefruit (which isn't listed in the notes)with vanilla. Dries down in a well-blended way to develop more vanilla and less citrus, and strangely, minty notes, sort of like herbal toothpaste. Continues on past to end up as a pretty, very faint skin vanilla. It's really actually very pretty, definitely light and lacking that super sweet dreadful candy floss that most VS scents develop on my skin. I'd have to say this is the best one of theirs I have tried, but as it doesn't have the same musky/sugary notes the others do, I would agree with Perfumedsecret that it may end up being discontinued as it probably won't be as popular.

I wrote a similar review to the last one on another site as staciarose22. Only on 9/17/08... This is a VS perfume that has not caught on as well as I thought it would. It's unique for VS, and not a generic fruity floral like they always make. I think that's why it's not popular, it has a masculine edge. Something deep and sultry while still being fresh. I took back the mist because it was too sheer for my skin. I just ordered the 3.4 because I see VS as discontinuing it eventually. It's sexy woods with sultry florals and fresh citrus. Woody aromatic is a good genre for it. I have read the comparisons to Angel Innocent, and cannot say what I think because I've never smelled it. This is daring for VS, because they always play it safe. They want a mass market bestseller. This actually pleases my nose. I will have to see what the bf thinks about it, but I'm sure he'll love it.

This is not a normal fruity floral like they usually sell, so be aware. :)
Since we are moving into the cooler weather it's good to change it up a bit with a woodsy floral. I can say I love that they chose Marisa Miller as the new face for V.S. I bought the sheer sexy mist. It's mysterious and not a common scent, I love it in the mist form. The perfume can be strong at first, but the same great notes come out eventually.

I am confused as to why they would name this scent as Very Sexy Dare. To me it's far too sweet to be sexy or daring. It seems like Victoria's Secret is continually modeling their perfumes after high school and college aged somethings. I've yet to find one that i care for... INMO. They've not a single fragrance that is seductive or at all suited to most of the lingerie they carry.

This is a cold weather fragrance to me as well... on me it smells more fruity floral than woody... the pineapple and the freesia dominate on me but it does have a slight sultry quality.

sensuous and sultry. definitely a cold weather scent from the warmth it gives. but there have been contrasting opinions on this one. in other words, it could be a miss or hit for different people. some people thinks it smells a lot like Angel Innocent. can't really make up my mind about it...but one thing i know is that i like the bottle more than the fragrance itself. the slim purple bottle is simply DIVINE!
