Victoria's Secret 2022 EDP
Bare
by Carlos Viñals , Nathalie Benareau
Victoria's Secret Bare is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Carlos Viñals and Nathalie Benareau. Bare opens with Mandarin, settles into a heart of Violet, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Victoria's Secret's Bare carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.
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'.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its subtle sillage and 'your skin but better' quality make it ideal for the office or casual wear without being intrusive. While it's often described as sensual and a compliment-getter, its lack of strong projection makes it less suited for formal events or sports.
