Pure Seduction body lotion 236ml
Fourteen materials in a body lotion is more than most perfumes manage, and that is the first surprising thing about Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction body lotion 236ml. The fruit arrives first and it is a mixed basket rather than a single note. Red apple is bright and skin crisp, pear rounder and more watery, redcurrant sharp and faintly green, and orchid sits among them adding a soft, almost powdered floral weight. Plum deepens the middle, black fig brings its milky, slightly green sweetness, and apple blossom and freesia keep petals in the mix so it does not become a bowl of fruit and nothing else. Rooibos tea is the material to watch for, dry and reddish and gently bitter, and it gives the whole thing a grown up edge. The finish is soft: amber for warmth, musk for the clean skin quality, rose and hyacinth for a last floral breath, sandalwood for a creamy base that holds the rest in place.
As a moisturiser it is doing two jobs at once. The cream itself is the main purchase and the scent is a benefit of it, so judge longevity by the standard of a lotion and not of an eau de parfum: close to the skin, present for hours, noticeable to you and to anyone who comes near, not to the far side of a room. It goes on best straight out of the shower while the skin is still warm, and 236ml is enough for regular use over several weeks. The scent is aimed at women and it is comfortable in any season, which is not true of every sweet fragrance.
