Our verdict on Bare: Favourite

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'.

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.

About

Opens with a hint of sparkling mandarin, quickly settling into a prominent powdery violet heart. The dry down is a creamy, warm sandalwood that creates an inviting, clean aura. It's a soft woody floral with a subtle citrus uplift, ultimately settling into a comforting, musky warmth.
