Victoria's Secret Temptation Fine Fragrance Mist

Sugared plum, blackberry and vanilla. One of the newer additions and still scarce locally. A fine fragrance mist is lighter than an eau de parfum -- spray it generously over the whole body straight after a shower and layer the matching lotion under it if you want it to hold past lunchtime. Bought in the United States and shipped sealed.

Spray generously over the body from about 20 cm, straight after showering while skin is still slightly damp. Reapply through the day as needed. Layer over the matching fragrance lotion to make it last roughly twice as long.

Alcohol Denat., Aqua (Water), Parfum (Fragrance), Glycerin, Benzyl Benzoate, Limonene, Linalool, Coumarin, Hexyl Cinnamal, Citronellol, Benzyl Salicylate, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone.

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.
