Very Sexy for Her 2 (2004)
by Victoria's Secret

As much as I like Very Sexy #1, I dislike this even more. First of all, it smells way too much like something cheap made in the 1960s and it's just icky. Too sweet, too cheap. They should've stopped while they were ahead....

This scent goes on like gangbusters, gives you the impression that it's going to be around alllll day (you know, like the kind of fragrance that you basically have to sandblast to remove from your skin) and then - *poof* - makes an abrupt and inexplicable exit, leaving very little in its wake. It's a musky-sweet composition of blackberry, freesia, lily and "skin suede" - which I imagine is something between a skin musk and a suede-like accord - and can almost be a touch choking on application, it's that heavy. About half an hour into it, the tone of Very Sexy 2 comes down considerably and starts to smell just sweet and dusky, a tiny bit port wine-ish and generally agreeable if not entirely original. But then, strangest thing, just when you start to really groove on it, it's pretty much gone. I mean, gone-in-around-60-minutes gone. Must be due to the lack of any kind of major fixative; I guess skin suede's not the most tenacious of bases. I'd give this scent about a C+ to B- for effort, but there are other VS scents that put on a better show.
