Daring launched in 2024 and was composed by IFF perfumer Laurent Le Guernec. It is built on a deliberate contrast: bright bergamot peel from southern Italy against warm oakmoss from the Balkan mountains, grounded in vibrant woods and finished with a bold amber base. Victoria's Secret describes it as a fragrance that can be worn by anyone, and it runs noticeably drier and woodier than most of the brand's catalogue.
Fragrance notes
Top: Bergamot peel
Heart: Oakmoss, woods
Base: Amber
How it wears
Opens crisp and citric before the oakmoss pulls it earthy and green. The amber builds underneath and leaves a warm, resinous trail, which makes it strongest in autumn and winter. Suits evenings and cooler days, and works for anyone who finds the sweeter Victoria's Secret scents too much.
Size and concentration
Eau de Parfum. Eau de Parfum carries a higher concentration of fragrance oil than Eau de Toilette, so it sits closer to the skin for longer and develops more slowly through the day.
