Getting Started With Bare Rose

Victoria’s Secret is most known for their line of lingerie and their sexy mall storefronts. But they’ve long lured in upsells to their feminine fragrances. For example, Bombshell and Tease are two of their most popular. When it comes to their fragrances, Victoria’s Secret keeps with their intimate specialty retailer zone. In other words, their fragrances often reflect a sensual, sexy vibe. Because, of course.

Perfumer Frank Voelkl crafted Bare Rose. He’s also the nose behind Bombshell, so it’s no surprise the Victoria’s Secret decided to work with him again given the prior success. He also created Gucci Guilty and Marc Jacobs Daisy.

Voelkl is known for his ability to create feminine fragrances that are both sophisticated and sensual. He often uses floral notes in his fragrances.

The packaging for Bare Rose is simple, elegant, and feminine. The bottle is made of clear glass and features a rose gold atomizer. The cap is pink, but not brightly so. It’s intended to give you the rose vibes, of course. The packaging is both stylish and functional and makes for a perfect gift.

  • The bottle is 3.4 fl. oz. (100 ml) in size.
  • The bottle is made of clear glass.
  • The atomizer is rose gold.
  • The cap is soft pink.
  • The bottle is decorated with a rose gold rose.

So, What’s Bare Rose Smell Like?

The fragrance’s notes are all fresh, floral, and feminine.

Top notes: Pear, Rosa Centifolia

Heart notes: Rose

Base notes: Dreamwood, Cedar, Musk

The opening is a compelling, refreshing dose of pear. This immediately distinguishes Bare Rose from many other florals as the use of pear isn’t typical. The floral notes begin to fill in rather quickly with rose taking centerstage. The complement of a sandalwood experience helps as balance and tone down Bare Rose before it embarks on the “too sweet” zone.

As Bare Rose dries down, it exudes warmth and depth. If you are looking for a new fragrance that is both delicate and intoxicating, then Bare Rose is a great choice.

Bare Rose is light and airy which makes it perfect for spring and summer, as our title states. But it’s extremely versatile due to it’s balance, so wearing to the office or a special event works well.

Some compare it to La Vie Est Belle by Lancome.

The fragrance is long-lasting and will stay on your skin for hours.
