Victoria's Secret Bombshell vs Tease: which notes do you prefer?

Bombshell and Tease both combine fruit, flowers, and a vanilla note, but they use different notes. Bombshell centers on passionfruit, peony, and vanilla orchid. Tease centers on frozen pear, gardenia, and black vanilla. Choose by that difference before choosing a bottle size or format.

Bombshell: passionfruit and peony

Bombshell Eau de Parfum lists passionfruit at the top, peony in the heart, and vanilla orchid in the base. The product description presents it as a bright, fruity floral. If passionfruit and peony are the notes you want, start with the original Bombshell.

Bombshell Fragrance Mist lists purple passion fruit, Shangri-La peony, and vanilla orchid. Its page describes it as the lighter mist version of the original scent. Check the format in the title rather than assuming every Bombshell listing is Eau de Parfum.

Tease: pear, gardenia, and black vanilla

Tease Fragrance Mist lists frozen pear in the opening, gardenia in the heart, and black vanilla at the base. Its description presents a sweet floral profile, moving from pear into creamy gardenia and warm vanilla. If you prefer pear and gardenia to passionfruit and peony, this is the note list to examine.

This Tease listing is a fragrance mist. Comparing it with Bombshell mist lets you look at the note differences within the same named product format. Comparing it with Bombshell Eau de Parfum involves both a different scent and a different format.

Related names can mean different notes

The name after Tease matters. Tease Candy Noir Eau de Parfum lists raspberry glaze, night-blooming iris, and tonka bean. It has a different note profile from the frozen pear, gardenia, and black vanilla listed for the original Tease mist.

Do not choose a related fragrance by the family name alone. Read the full title and note list, especially if you want to replace a bottle you already own.

How to decide

• Start with Bombshell if you want passionfruit and peony with vanilla orchid.
• Start with Tease if you want frozen pear and gardenia with black vanilla.
• Consider Candy Noir separately if raspberry, iris, and tonka are the notes you prefer.

Once you choose a scent, check whether the listing is Eau de Parfum or fragrance mist, then select an available size. The product pages show the current options. These note comparisons do not promise a particular wear time on your skin.
