By the editors · 2 min readVery Sexy 2018 opens on a controlled collision: blackberry and clementine alongside cactus and a faint hit of cappuccino, creating something that sits at the intersection of fruity and slightly spiky. The green-aqueous quality of cactus keeps the opening from running too sweet.
The heart turns floral — orchid, mimosa, hydrangea — with a softness that offsets the opening's edginess. By the base, warm amber and musk have absorbed everything, smoothing the whole composition into a broadly pleasing oriental-fruity-floral. The 2018 iteration of Very Sexy is a notably fresher, more modern take than its predecessors, trading heaviness for movement.
