EDITORIAL“Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Attraction for Him Review: Dark Cinnamon Spice”
Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Attraction for Him introduced a surprisingly moody angle when it launched back in 2008 as part of a limited magnetic bottle pair. The initial atomization hits the skin with a sharp, green burst of petitgrain and crushed tangerine foliage. This opening carries a bitter, leafy edge that feels clean yet decidedly masculine right from the start.
Within twenty minutes, that bright green top subsides and reveals a prominent cinnamon note. This is not a sugary dessert spice, but rather a dry, hot cinnamon bark that heats up the skin. It melds with the remaining green accents, forming a dark, aromatic heart that feels significantly deeper than the standard Very Sexy for Him pillar.
As the heart settles into the late hours, earthy vetiver takes charge of the base. The vetiver is dry and slightly smoky, adding a grounding weight to the spicy core. This accord behavior gives the fragrance a cozy, rugged texture that keeps the cinnamon from feeling sharp or synthetic over extended wear.
Despite carrying an eau de cologne designation, performance punches above its weight class. Expect around six to eight hours of total longevity, with strong sillage across the first ninety minutes. After that initial push, it contracts into a warm, personal aura around your chest and jacket collar that lingers predictably.
In terms of wear context, this cologne shines brightest in autumn and winter during evening hours. Crisp air allows the spicy cinnamon and earthy vetiver to project cleanly without stifling those nearby. It pairs effortlessly with casual leather jackets, dark denim, or flannel shirts for low-key pub visits and dinner dates.
For audience fit, it caters to guys who enjoy late-2000s aromatic colognes but want extra warmth. If you appreciate fragrances like Abercrombie Fierce or classic Polo Sport, this offers a darker, woodier twist with spicy flair. It feels grounded, direct, and free of modern cloying sweetness.
My verdict on Very Sexy Attraction for Him comes down to availability and personal taste. Because it is discontinued and rare, hunting down a bottle on secondary market sites like eBay makes sense primarily for collectors or fans of cinnamon-forward vetiver. If you catch a full bottle under fifty dollars, it delivers a satisfying, nostalgic cool-weather wear.
FAQs
What does Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Attraction for Him smell like?+

How does the opening compare to the dry-down?+
The opening is bright, green, and slightly bitter due to petitgrain foliage. Within twenty minutes, that leafy bite fades, allowing dry cinnamon spice and dark vetiver to take over. The dry-down feels warm, woody, and much darker than the initial spray.
How long does Very Sexy Attraction for Him last on skin?+
