By the editors · 2 min readDelicate Petals belongs to the Secret Garden line, where Victoria's Secret put aside the Bombshell-style fruity-floral bombast for something quieter. The opening is mandarin and tangerine — orange-rind brightness with a slight peel-bitter edge — held against a velvety rose that emerges almost immediately.
The rose here is fabric-soft rather than ripe; it borrows the powdery, freshly-cut quality more than the indolic depth. Musk in the base is clean, not animalic — the scrubbed-pink-soap kind that lingers on cotton.
This is a perfume designed to be unobjectionable, the kind of scent that reads as fresh laundry and good intentions. It's sweet without sugar, floral without drama. Work-friendly, daytime, springs and warm shoulders. A skin scent more than a statement.
