Very Sexy Now The Beauty of Brazil Victoria`s Secret for women

I came across this perfume through sheer serendipity. I have no real history with VS scents. It is a well balanced, rich perfume, that opens with a lovely ylang ylang (unlisted), white florals, and orchid. The fruit note is unusual, exotic, not the papaya, but tropical berries and obscure tropical non-citrus fruit. Sweet, but in a sustainable way, refined, creamy, made buttery by cocoa butter, and anchored with a nutty, minty coconut.

I actually use it with cocoa butter, and coconut oil lotions, to elevate the suntan oil vibe, and add a lovely floral leavening agent to the fruity heart. Soft, creamy and rich, this is a very tropical, exotic fragrance that is nonetheless well balanced.

I thought I disliked coconut in perfume. I understand the beachy appeal, or the memory link, between coconut, suntan lotion, and beach nostalgia, but not as a perfume. I do use cocoa butter, and coconut oil, based lotions. Ironically, I probably use these most often in winter, when I need the moisturizer, but don't want to go around smelling like suntan lotion.

With Guerlain Purple Fantasy, my other favorite coconut, this lovely perfume has me questioning what I thought I knew about notes I dislike. Note: there are more than the three listed notes in this perfume!

The notes in this are perfect...I wish I could buy this or at least try this scent out...I mean I COULD buy this on ebay but they are selling this for $100 on there and I will never pay $100 for a perfume.

I will have to keep looking for a nice tropical perfume :/

I have searched and searched, I finally CALLED VS and they said as of right now it's no longer coming back out but I can submit a REQUEST (which I did, OF COURSE!!!) it's what they consider VOC or voice of the customer.!!!! I hope they bring it back out.

i was soo disapointed i purchase online after reading all the revies its smells weird?!..
i smell the papaya but some other smell it reminds me of a car smell i do not smell coconut.

so sad =(

Just received this and I like it. Reminds me of Miami Glo. You only need 1 spray of the perfume and t will last all day.

I like to blend this with Jennifer Lopez's Sunkissed Glow. Wow, it smells divine. All of the scents are tropical and summery and blend beautifully. I use the VSN Beauty of Brazil body spray with the Sunkissed Glow perfume and it is an instant hit! I love this and wish it would come back every summer. Til then, i'll just use sparingly.

It's like an all inclusive vacation in a bottle. It transports me to the tropics whenever it touches my nose.

Its tropical paradise in a bottle! Very unique and special. When U think of tropical scent, u might think about fruit punch which is sickening sweet or synthetic. This one is not trying hard, it just does what it claims. The creamy delicious coconut here blends in very well with slightly mouth watering papaya with a hint of floral make it sparkle and beautiful. i cant stop sniffing my wrist and intend to buy another bottle as this one is limited. The silage is pretty good and lasting power is average, but i have nothing to complain. Love it so much

Im So glad I got the biggest bottle of this when it came out. And I wish they would bring it back! It's so tropical, in a juicy and humid way. the Passion fruit and coconut are blended so well that neither dominates. And the floral notes are so soft and beautiful. I also believe there is some musk in the base. When I wear this I am instantantly transported to a tropical island, laying in the sun. Love it!

I get all kinds of compliments when i where this. Even from women!!!

It's Juicy Sexy and Delicious the opening starts with succulent Papaya Intoxicating
Orchid and velvet Red Hibiscus with it's vibrant hue and milky coconut brings out the exotica from this perfume i just love the pink sunset color from this bottle
I can imagine taking this with me to the
islands of Bali with it's vast white sands
clear turquoise Oceans acres and acres of
Palm trees and a red sunset descending among the horizon between heaven and earth
while an Ancient Temple wedges in the center. This scent is pure paradise.

Thanks for a sample, c3c! I usually steer away from scents with coconut as soon as I can, since me and this note do not seem to work together, nor do I usually appreciate "tropical" perfumes -- all my samples of them are not in heavy rotation (maybe I'm just resentful about not being at a warm beach for the last 3 years?). This one is actually nice! When I just dabbed it on, I got plasticky coconut smell and thought, oh dear, is it that again? But within seconds it reacted with my skin and became a much nicer smell damp air with a smell of tropical flowers and coconut. I will definitely keep this sample as an example of coconut done better. Sadly, there's still no such thing for me as coconut done right -- don't y'all think I should just plan a vacation to Hawaii and take all my tropical samples with me and test there? :)

I have to agree with Lionessa's description. Pure tropical paradise. Ironically the day this arrived on my doorstep I was at a customers office and someone somewhere was wearing something wonderful. I sniffed around, asked someone who asked another. No one knew where this fabulous smell was coming from. I left wondering what it was and hoping they found out before my next visit (hehehe). Then I got home, and in my mail box was VSN. I opened it, immediately tested (of course) and it was the very scent from the office! Well you can imagine how happy I was!

O.k. I know that has nothing to do with the scent but I was so happy I had to share. This is a fabulous scent. I put it on at 6pm and when I woke up in the morning I could still smell traces of it so lasting power is perfect. It's a heavy thick mixture of papaya and coconut that blends to create the image of a beautiful tropical flower with coconut surrounding it. It does verge on the suntan lotion theme, but in a very good way.

This seriously is the image of a Hawiian/Brazilian/Tahitian (you get the picture) vacation. If it's hot, humid, there's a tropical breeze, and you don't have to go to work gosh darn it, this is what you should be wearing. If you're just trapped at home in the jig, well this will take you away for a bit.

i love the scent it's seductive

I didn't expect that I'll like a coconuty smell, but this one is awesome. Bottle design looks great too!

This has a great aroma of coconut and is done right. It's actually how I expected Miami Glow to smell instead of the artificial nightmare that it was!

It is definately tropical with a mild sweetness, touch of fruit and a deliciously creamy coconut finish.

The lasting power is good as expected from and edp and the projection is medium.

I would recommend this to those looking for a nice, tropical, coconut scent that isn't your standard Floral Fruity fare.

This is really nice and has most certainly piqued my interest in Victoria's Secret fragrances. ;')

So that makes two pleasant unsniffed perfume purchases in a row. LOL! Now let me try for a third. ;'D

Bronze Bombshell yummmmmmmmm......The only perfume I've ever totally used up!

I am SO not a "fruity-floral" type girl but I LOVE this one. The coconut is very light and fresh-smelling and not overbearing. It manages to be simultaneously sexy and relaxing. The fruits are sweet without being sugary.
Imagine being at a small table, at an outdoor cafe, overlooking the beach. It's sunny, with the faintiest breeze. Your waiter brings you a salad of fresh juicy tropical fruits nestled in a coconut half. He sets it down in front of you, next to a humble vase of just-picked tropical blooms.

Very beachy and feminine and perfect fo casual use on summer days. For summer nights, I would recommend Versace Crystal Noir.

Everytime I wear this people ask me if I have tanning lotion on. Not really feeling this one.

I love this scent! I'm usually bored by the same old coconut and fruit combinations you see every summer. Something about the beautiful sparkling bottle and wood cap caught my eye and i wasn't dissappointed. The dry down of this scent is perfect on my skin, a creamy sort of thing which is hard for me to find with my chemistry. I still think this is a very typical perfume but it rounds out my collection nicely.

I am not very big on dominant/detectable flowers. I only like them to a certain extent.
Unfortunately there are some prominent flower notes in the first two hours of Very Sexy Now. Yes, the crisp and tropical fruits are there but I tend to get distracted by the flowers.
After about 2 hours it becomes divine! The flowers seddle down and your own skin smell mixes with the exotic fragrance. Then I would definitely call it "the beauty of brazil"-smell!

I had to have it. It's Summer completely summed up in a bottle. Fresh, fruity, cool, delicious like a tropical cocktail or refreshing coconut sunblock. It has a beach scent... and I think it smells even better than the Bronze Bombshell perfume BBW had years ago. It's fresher, and BB was more like heavy tanning oil. It was a bit too much for me in the humid heat. I assume they debuted this for the Summer, so it works and it does last a long time on my skin. The cap is magnetic.

they so got this from bath and body works bronze bombshell. which is my fav. ever! it got discont. and I couldnt get it anywhere it was 100ml and like 20 bucks!(eau de toilette) but damn did it last all day with just two srays-and the compliments superstar! so VS is associated with bath and body works and they came up with a different name the beauty of brazil-of course I bought it! but its just not the same as my first true love bronze bombshell and doesnt last as long!!! VS please bring back the original formula trust me it would just fly of the shelf!!

wow!! this fragrance is amazing
it smells like the carribbean its sooooo tropical its probably the most tropical fragrance ive ever smelled
all i smell is coconut flowers and fruit!!
awesome summer fragrance i bought it right away it was love at first sniff
i give it 11 out of 10 :-)
