About Rapture
Rapture by Victoria's Secret launched in the early 2000s as a bold statement fragrance designed for those who aren't afraid to turn heads. This is a fragrance that leans into seduction without apology. Created during Victoria's Secret's golden era of perfume creation, Rapture represents the brand's mastery of blending sweetness with depth—a scent that refuses to whisper when it can speak directly. The perfume carries the sophisticated energy of the brand, capturing the confidence and allure that Victoria's Secret fragrances have long been known for.
Fragrance Family:
Floral Oriental
Scent Type:
Sweet, sensual, warm, floral with fruity undertones
Notes:
Rapture perfume opens with a striking combination of blackberry and mandarin that immediately demands attention. These bright top notes feel almost gourmand, pulling you in with their sweetness. The heart reveals a complex floral arrangement—creamy gardenia, soft jasmine, and a hint of tuberose create an intoxicating mid-stage that sits somewhere between romantic and raw. What makes this perfume distinctive is how it refuses to stay delicate. The base notes bring honey, vanilla, sandalwood, and a touch of musk that grounds the entire composition. This isn't background fragrance territory. The longer you wear Rapture perfume, the more the sweetness and warmth build into something that truly lives up to its name.
Suggested Use
Apply Rapture perfume to pulse points where your skin runs warmest: inside wrists, behind the ears, base of neck, and behind the knees. These areas intensify the fragrance's development. For evening wear or special occasions, a single spray on the chest or collarbone projects beautifully without overwhelming a room. Since Rapture perfume has excellent staying power, one or two applications will carry you through the day. The warmth of your skin throughout the day will bring out different facets of the scent, so the fragrance actually evolves as you wear it—a reason many fans return to it repeatedly.

Signature Scent
ok love this stuff,
Different….
In the 90's when this came out and was in the heart bottle, this was my absolute favorite perfume. Everyone knew it was my scent. It smelled SO good. I got the "new" bottle and, even though others say it is the same, I INSTANTLY noticed a difference. I am not sure what it is, but it is not the same for sure. The instant nostalgia I was expecting did not happen. I am pretty sad about it, honestly, because this perfume used to make me feel a certain way.

Fragrance for a lifetime
I have been wearing Rapture since it became available at my local VS store. I have received so many complaints over the years while wearing Rapture. The rose, orange blossom and amber combination is exquisite. A few years back when I found out that Rapture was being discontinued I purchased many bottles. Rapture will always be in my perfume collection. I am so glad that VS brought Rapture back. I wish they would do the same with the ORIGINAL VICTORIA.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Delicious Sultry, Sexiness in a bottle
I remember when this sexy gem first came on the scene in the early nineties. However I wasn't exactly a fan of it at the time, because I was in my early 20s and thought it best catered to the older generation. This was during the era that I was only attracted to the fruity scents that Victoria Secret produced. However after I entered my early to mid thirties my nose picked up something different than it did before. Not sure if the formula had been changed some, but I must say I'm sold now lol. This beauty is something I will never go without, even though I have other great fragrances in my perfume wardrobe.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Just as Good as I Remember
I've worn this scent, since its inception, the formula has changed slightly but it's still making magic! I noted that this scent does not last as long as it originally did, but, it still my #1 pick. This new formula has about a 4 Hr projection, you will need a touch up, for another 4 hrs. After that, I've noticed, there is a lingering "Skin Scent " that last until you shower. Meaning, there is no projection after 4 hrs (after 8 hrs , with a touch up), but when you are "up close and personal ", it does its job. That's exactly what I want…. Projection during the day that carries into "date night", when an unexpected "after-work excursion" is in the making. When you are close, you don't need to project, the closeness just requires a simple sniff, and this scent doesn't disappoint, this fragrance makes memories. Mic Drop! 100% Recommended, especially since people are into the Gourmand's. Don't sleep on this, Victoria's Secret's Rapture, brings back the Sexy in Romance! This is why it get 5 stars, no 10 Stars. … It makes the Magic Happens. … Trust & Believe! Tested and APPROVED! PS, Grab it where you can, it's very hard to find.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

It was a hit!
I actually bought this for my big sister. She use to wear it when I was younger and then when it was discontinued she was sad. It was her signature fragrance! It's how I knew she was home to visit. I thought about it one day and said let me see if I can find it and BAM! it was her so I immediately bought it for her. Needless to say her jaw hit the ground when she unwrapped it. She IMMEDIATELY sprayed so.e on and it just brought back a ton of memories.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I would buy this product again and again
This fragrance was only sold at Victoria secrets and when they discontinued it I had to find something else that works with my chemistry. I have tried so many different kinds. I was glad to see that fragrancex had it but I was kind of worried that the smell would be different. It wasn't and I hope fragrancex will continue to have it. When my kids were little and I was gone to work etc and they got scared they told me they use to get my pillow or shirt and sleep on it, they always felt better. This is my signature fragrance.

My all-time favorite perfume.
I use this as my daily scent (provided I can get it). I just don't understand why they aren't fulfilling the supply for the demand because it's obvious it's in demand. Surely somebody somewhere can get this rectified. This has been my personal favorite for years and would continue to be if I could purchase it at a reasonable price.

Fond memories by fragrance
This brings back memories of being a young wife. I originally received this in a beautiful velvet box which I still have on display. Smells so luxurious you get lost in it. Now..the only negative thing I can say is I was expecting a perfume and received a lotion...still delicious so I will be ordering the perfume when offered again. Thank you for the opportunity to wear my past life once again

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
