Which Should You Buy?
Bare is a surprisingly sophisticated skin scent from Victoria's Secret, a warm woody floral that has surprisingly divided opinion. For some, it's a 'your skin but better' gem that's perfect for any occasion. For others, it's a generic mess of screechy violet and dusty sandalwood. You'll either love it or think it's 'meh'.
Tom Daxon's Sicilian Wood is a contentious beast. Some rave about its bright, natural citrus and refined woody drydown, while others dismiss it as fleeting and synthetic. Lovers say it’s a niche take on Dior Fahrenheit, but its poor longevity is a dealbreaker for many.
