Very Sexy Now (2017)

Very Sexy Now EDP (2017) — Women's

Guava, mariposa flower, and soroa coconut — the tropical limited edition that earns "I've been searching for this since I ran out" from VS collectors who discovered it and couldn't find it again, and delivers genuine tropical vivacity in an island-inspired summer-only bottle.

Very Sexy Now 2017 was a limited-edition summer release built around a genuinely unusual tropical tropical concept: guava — a vivid, slightly tart, and deeply tropical fruit note that's distinct from the usual pineapple-passion fruit territory — combined with the fantasy floral of mariposa and the warm, creamy coconut base that the VS summer lineup consistently does well. The guava opening is the most vivid and most immediately tropical element: bright, slightly tart, and genuinely island-escape in character. The mariposa flower heart is a fantasy floral — VS's term for their proprietary white floral accords — that is clean, slightly sweet, and deeply feminine. The coconut base is warm and creamy rather than synthetic sunscreen. The whole composition earns "uplifting and tropical, mood-boosting in a way that few summer fragrances achieve" from the collectors who've been rationing their last bottle since it was discontinued.

Performance is honest for a summer EDP in the VS catalog: 4 to 5 hours on skin with light sillage. The composition's lighter character is part of what makes it appropriate for summer heat.

🔺 The Scent Pyramid

Top Notes (0–20 min) Guava

Guava is the composition's most vivid and most distinctive note — bright, slightly tart, and unmistakably tropical in a way that's distinct from pineapple or passion fruit. It's the opening that immediately announces this is a specific, designed tropical experience rather than a generic fruity freshie.

Heart Notes (20 min–2 hrs) Mariposa Flower

The mariposa flower heart is VS's proprietary fantasy floral — clean, slightly sweet, and warm in a distinctly feminine way that bridges the tropical guava opening and the coconut base without creating a sharp transition.

Base Notes (2 hrs and beyond) Soroa Coconut

Coconut here is warm and creamy — not synthetic sunscreen but genuine tropical warmth that earns the "island escape" concept. Longevity: 4 to 5 hours on skin; light sillage; appropriate for summer heat wear.

What it smells like on skin:

The guava opening is immediately vivid, bright, and mood-lifting. As mariposa flower develops through the heart, the fragrance takes on a clean, warm, and tropical character. The coconut base is warm and comforting. Best in spring and summer exclusively; the tropical character has no cold-weather market.
