Victoria's Secret Amber Romance Fragrance Lotion

Black cherry, creamy amber and vanilla, in a shea butter and vitamin E base. Worn on its own it is a good everyday moisturiser; worn under the matching fine fragrance mist it roughly doubles how long the scent lasts, because fragrance clings to moisturised skin and evaporates off dry skin. Bought in the United States and shipped sealed.

Apply all over the body after showering while skin is still slightly damp. Follow with the matching fine fragrance mist for a longer-lasting scent.

Ingredient lists are transcribed from the packaging of the batch we hold. Manufacturers reformulate — always read the carton you receive, and patch test if you react easily.

Check the batch code first. The same code is stamped into the base of the carton and etched or printed on the underside of the bottle, and on a genuine unit the two match. The cellophane should be factory-tight with a single clean seam rather than loose or re-glued, the cap should seat with a firm click, and the atomiser should sit flush in its collar with no wobble and no seepage around it. Printing on the carton should be sharp and correctly aligned — fuzzy text or a shade that looks slightly off is the usual giveaway. We photograph every unit as it arrives and record its batch code and expiry from the carton, so the item you receive is the one we checked. If anything does not match, send us photographs before you use it and we will sort it out with you.

• This one is a pre-order. We buy it in the United States for you and bring it over with our next shipment — normally about two to three weeks. That is an estimate, not a promise: we give you the date we expect when you order, and tell you if it moves.
• In and around our own area we deliver ourselves. Anywhere further goes by courier, and you are welcome to collect from us instead.
• The delivery charge is quoted and paid up front, never added afterwards. The rest is paid when the item reaches you.
• Damaged, incorrect or expired: tell us within 7 days with a photograph and we replace it on our next shipment — or refund you if we cannot. See our delivery and returns policy.
