Pure Seduction
Pure Seduction by Victoria's Secret is a feminine-leaning eau de toilette from 2003 in the budget price tier. It opens with plum and freesia, moves into red berries and jasmine and dries down to white musk and cedarwood. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.
Heart
- Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
