Almost Bare

Holy sillage Batman! This just wafts in the air around you, so if you love beachy and floral scents but want it to really stick this may be a good choice. If I overspray I can sense this muted rounded leather note - like a white leather bag. Overall it is incredibly vacationy, but I think year round it will resonate as a fresh shower so this won't go to the back of the shelf when it gets cold out. Rather than a "warm weather scent" I moreso consider this a "morning-day" type scent that someone rolling into the office with their life together would smell like. Although its fairly feminine, it is so fresh like a spa scent that this can totally be unisex.

I don't have much to add in the review department. I always buy another bottle of this when I am out. IMO it is just so delicate and innocent. It is my favorite bobbi brown frag. I also get compliments by strangers on this one and aren't those the best kind of compliments.

To me this one smells like fresh cut parsley, coriander and cilantro. Fresh green. Very strong and long lasting. Great summer fragrance. Requires high heat to show its full potential. I don't like how it smells in low temperature, reminds me then of a veggie salad.

I absolutely loved this perfume — it was my signature scent! Clean, beachy, sexy & with a huuuge sillage! I discovered it because a co-worker used to wear it and every time she passed by me it made me turn my head from how nice it smelled! Unfortunately, it was discontinued — hey, Bobbi Brown, would you mind to bring it back, pls? I beg of you! — so I’ve been feeling kind of naked without it (and no, the irony is not lost on me...). Does anyone know a dupe/replica of this fragrance? I’ve tried to find something similar countless times describing what I remember of how it smelled or what it made me feel to the clerks at perfume stores and I haven’t been able to find anything similar... Help, pls, I need my signature back!

Very intresting choice of name...it really suits its smell.Very clean, very neutral, very nice

I liked the green and clean scent it provided without having a strong sillage. I hate having a loud perfume that bothers others. This is not loud. It is a low laying scent that lacks any powdery. I found Bobbi Brown's bath fragrance to smell too much like mosquito spray in my testing so I purchased this. I adore this perfume and the clean feminine musk smells wonderful on my skin. It unfortunately has something I'm probably allergic to since I've developed headaches while wearing recently.

I find the BB scents rather unattractive. This one smells like the other two to me: it's almost not there and just gives you something like "fresh air".

I am by no means a perfume aficionado. I have been on a mission to find a signature scent. I have worn Chanel for years. Firstly Coco, which now I abhor. I think because it enters the room before I do. I have worn Chance for a number of years and blind bought 'eau tendre' - too powdery for me. I was so very disappointed. After testing all Chanel in all of it's glory I became nonplussed. Almost Bare, was a blind buy to me. Firstly, it is very green. I did not detect citrus. 5 minutes later it smelled of lime or like a gin & tonic (with a wedge of lime). This was a unisex smell to me. 15 minutes and I still detected a very green smell - more like the green from a florist shop, the leaves. At 30 minutes it was Chanel Pour Monsieur. 50 minutes later (and this perfume is very slight on the skin)my 7 year old son told me that it smelled of fresh sea water and seaweed! I did not detect this. More of a soap to me. I am very unsure what "soapy" means. Soap to me is the odour of 1970's soap - Lux, Imperial Leather, etc. In this day, I would say that this is soapy in a "my husband coming out of the shower" kinda way. And now I am smelling the sea. Fresh? Yes. Feminine? I simply cannot decide. After an hour the scent is still there - not sure if I would be wafting through many rooms. It is a pity really. This would be an 'every day perfume' for me - school run, work, shopping. At the cost I think a slight rose wouldn't have gone amiss.

A sheer, airy fresh floral that speaks volumes in a discreet manner. Starting with the luscious Italian bergmot that leads a trail of freshness from the soothing violet, leaves you feeling light and carefree. The delicacy of the muget/lily with it's aromatherapy properties, works well with the scintilla of jasmine petals and continues with an atmosphere of serenity. The marriage of cedar and amber in the base instill a sense of pure peaceful bliss. The musk, if any is slight. The scent strength is light and the life is short lived, i.e., 3-5 hours. This is an ultra feminine charming perfume to wear on no nonsense days. I was seduced by it's quietness.

This was another blind-buy for me in a fit of wanting to try 'clean' perfumes. For me, its a great 'just out of the shower in warm weather' fragrance, but strangely I can also imagine it being quite comforting in the winter. I don't get lily of the valley from this at all. Its bergamot/citrus on first spray, then quickly dries down to cedarwood and something very green, which I assume must be the violet leaf (?). This is a light skin-scent, hardly any sillage on my skin, although good longevity up close and personal. This is one I'll definitely wear around the house when I want something light, clean, green and comforting.

I tried Almost Bare today and think it should be renamed "Barely There." This scent was so pale that it was barely perceptible. In that respect I guess I'd say it was the ultimate skin scent, cuz basically, even if you have it on, you still just smell like your bare skin. I'm all for minimalism and can appreciate a simple fragrance, but this is so subtle that I can't believe it's classified as an Edp. To me, Bare is really more of a an apres bain spray and 60 bucks is an awful lot for a body spray!

It smells so nice, bare and quiet and I really wanted to keep loving it, but it keeps reminding me of the scent of a clothing shop. this might be my nose or my skin (or both), yet I didn't manage to love it after about 3 hours of wearing it. It's not offensive and it's really light and delicate, but I can't ignore my Trip-To-Zara association.

smells too common for me, not long lasting too. not worth the budget. buy an axe or avon fragrances than spend money with this.

Another perfume from BB full of chemicals!
