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 woody-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'.

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.
