How to Be a Bombshell

Have you ever passed someone whose elegant scent made you stop in your tracks? FiFi Award-winning Bombshell Body Mist by Victoria's Secret takes fragrance to a whole new level. A glamorous blend of purple passion fruit, Shang-la peony and vanilla orchid, this body spray is appropriate for any occasion. For only $25, this high-quality aroma will make you steal the spotlight.

The fragrance isn’t too overpowering, but it has the right amount of sweetness. After applying it, the body mist instantly freshens up your skin—and uplifts your mood. The airy imbue has a refreshing touch to it, and for the price, it is definitely worth your money.

Compared to other high-end perfume brands such as Marc Jacobs, Dior, or Gucci, Bombshell Body Mist by Victoria's Secret surpasses the standards required for a simple, yet a pleasant fragrance that would brighten up your spirits.

“I really like the fragrance because the scent smells really fresh and clean. The price isn’t overbearing and I’ve gotten compliments whenever I wear it,” sophomore Melissa Chen said.  

The only downside to this product on your skin or clothes is that the scent doesn’t last too long. However, if you rub on a pea-sized amount of Victoria's Secret Bombshell Body lotion, and then layer this body mist onto your skin, the scent would stay on for an extensive amount of time. Or, because the bottle is only 2.5 FL OZ, you can easily fit the container in your bag when you’re on the go or inside your locker so you can apply it before or after gym.

It is sold in Victoria’s Secret stores, and online. If you want it for an even better price, wait until they have their semi-annual sale in January and June. This scent’s essence is essential to your everyday routine, and I guarantee it is worth your money.
