Victoria Secret model Erin Heatherton coming to Aventura mall

Get up close and personal with Victoria’s Secret goddess Erin Heatherton when the Angel flies into town to launch the lingerie retailer’s latest fragrance, Very Sexy Touch. It’s a big deal for Heatherton, 22 — her first individual campaign for VS. On Tuesday, the statuesque stunner will be at the Aventura store from 5-7 p.m. meeting fans and signing bottles. To prove to your Facebook friends that you met the model, she’ll pose with you, too. If you actually buy the perfume, instead of going there to feast your eyes, you’re automatically allowed entry into the VIP “Fast Lane.’’ Who needs South Beach velvet ropes?

We talked to Heatherton, who is from the Chicago area, but was discovered here while visiting the University of Miami:

The scent is called Very Sexy. What comes to mind when you hear those words?

For me ways to feel very sexy are to get a massage, buy new lingerie, go out with my friends for dinner and put on clothes that make me feel confident. I also feel very sexy when I put on mascara and baby pink lip gloss.

What is your favorite scent on earth?

I love scents that are sophisticated and feminine. My favorite perfumes are those that have floral and woody notes since they’re unexpected. Very Sexy Touch is a combination of amber wood, iris and apricot. It’s unique and makes me feel seductive and flirtatious.

What is something fans may not know about you?

I won “best in” category at the state science fair when I was in high school.

What do you do to stay trim?

I try to eat healthy and work out. I also believe in moderation, so I often make sacrifices so that I can indulge from time to time.

What is your guiltiest pleasure?

Definitely the chocolate mousse from Standard Grill.
