The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by Victoria's Secret, Bare is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance for women created by perfumers Nathalie Benareau and Carlos Viñals. The composition balances powdery and woody notes with the subtle freshness of citrus and the warmth of spicy accords. At its core, Bare offers a modern take on classic elegance, blending violet's delicate floral nuances with earthy undertones that evoke both comfort and sophistication.
Apply Bare lightly — the powdery and woody notes build gradually on skin. It's best for daytime wear as the warm spicy elements provide a subtle yet lasting presence without overpowering the surrounding environment.
