The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023, Bare Rose by Victoria's Secret is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance created by perfumer Frank Voelkl. The composition opens with the crisp freshness of pear skin before revealing an exquisite Rosa Centifolia at its heart, offering a captivating and velvety trail that’s both effortless and vibrant. The scent finishes with an unexpected blend of sheer woods, the creamy warmth of cedar, and Dreamwood—an exclusive ingredient inspired by iconic Mysore sandalwood. Bare Rose is designed to mix with your body chemistry for a distinctive signature scent.

How to wear it

Apply Bare Rose to pulse points for a lasting effect. The pear top note fades quickly, so a slightly heavier application ensures that the floral heart and woody base notes have time to unfold on your skin throughout the day.
