Bare Sueded Vanilla

Sweet, warm, powdery, creamy, woody, warm spicy, balsamic, musky, feminine, sensual, seductive, sexy, flirty, chic, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, tempting, alluring, inviting, cozy, comforting On me this is a sexy and warm powdery vanilla that opens with warm spicy saffron and woody and creamy sandalwood. As it dries down the powdery vanilla, creamy milk, and aromatic suede intertwine with the saffron and sandalwood. This feels feminine to me, and like it will suit women of any age (I’m not getting anything juvenile from it like some of the VS scents). It seems suitable for all occasions from casual, to work and/or school, to date nights. This does remind me of a few different vanillas like Phlur Vanilla Skin, SDJ 59, Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Vanilla Nude, Donna Karen Cashmere & Vanilla Essence, VS Bare Vanilla, BBW Wicked Vanilla Woods, and BBW Snowflakes & Cashmere. I actually own all of them, so I don’t think I’ll find them different enough to warrant having them all in my collection, but they also have some definite similarities to greater or lesser degrees. For reference, some of my other favorite vanillas include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, The Wedding Silk Santal, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Yum Pistachio Gelato, PDM Oriana, Kilian LDBS, Bianco Latte, Celeste, JPG Classique Pin Up, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSL Black Opium Glitter, Black Opium Le Parfum, Libre Vanilla Couture, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, SDJ Summer é Amor, SDJ 39, SDJ 62, VS Vanilla Lace (OG), VS Glitter Hustle, VS Forbidden Vanilla, BBW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Whipped Honey & Vanilla, Aspen Caramel Woods, Fireside Flurries, Cozy Vanilla Bourbon

Gorgeous, sweet, comforting, winter, fall/autumn. It’s not your typical vanilla scent; there’s an unusualness that makes the nose curious e.g. the sharp suede/leather note comes across as mint/liquorice (to me) and I get a kind of essential oil vibe if that makes sense? Unfortunately though, I don’t get the lactonic note that everyone else does - only playdough. Opening is not the best but when it’s settled? yummiest thing EVER! It smells EXACTLY like Phlur’s “Vanilla Skin” i.e. creamy comforting sweet yet sharp minty vanillas. You DEFINITELY don’t need both. However, there are some subtle differences to consider e.g. the initial alcohol in BSV is more apparent so takes longer to go, BSV starts mintier/fresher/greener yet finishes warmer and sweeter than VS, BSV is more complex - it takes you on a journey that improves as time goes on while VS stays the same, BSV is more screechy, BSV is more potent and has better longevity whilst VS fades away into the skin. Ultimately, I prefer the opening of VS and the settled smell of BSV (by FAR). With the price point, I’d say BSV is more worth it. It also kinda smells like the Vanilla & Dreamy body mist (just warmer + more interesting) so would be great layered!

When I first sampled this, I wasn’t blown away. My future husband, on the other hand, really liked it, so I sprayed it on him since I already had too many scents on myself. We were in Victoria’s Secret testing everything, and about an hour later I could not stop sniffing his wrist. I became completely obsessed. So for my birthday, he surprised me with a bottle, and honestly, it deserves all the hype. This perfume is absolutely heavenly. It’s sweet, but not tooth-achingly so. It’s sexy while still feeling soft and innocent, creamy and enchanting in a way that feels dangerously attractive. This is what sirens smell like. It completely captivated me. I’ve had it for a month and I’ve genuinely had to force myself to wear other perfumes because I just keep reaching for this one. I found Vanilla Skin a bit too spicy for my taste and ended up selling it, but this one has firmly snuck into my top five. It works for any occasion, but it is especially beautiful in cooler weather. I can smell it on my clothes for days. Perfect, ethereal, and addictive. 10 out of 10 from both me and my fiancé. I would repurchase this a million times over.

A beautiful and timeless vanilla fragrance that I believe will always remain relevant specially given the huge fan base that vanilla-based scents have. It is soft and versatile enough for year-round wear in my opinion, it doesn't become cloying or overwhelming even in warmer weather. As someone who generally isn't drawn to vanilla or gourmand fragrances, I did find it slightly heavy at times, but that may just be me because this was one of my first experiences with a vanilla-forward perfume. It's cozy, comforting, and simply makes you feel good which is what a perfume should be about. The projection is great and I can easily detect it on myself for at least 4 hours. While the vanilla and sandalwood do provide a gentle sweetness of course, the saffron and suede balance everything very smoothly preventing it from becoming overbearing and just making it the perfect grown-up vanilla. The milk note too is nicely done, in fact it is very prominent and I can genuinely pick up each of the listed notes if you can't tell. You really can't go wrong with this! undoubtedly a crowd-pleaser.

Personally I dont find this similar to sol de janeiro 59, as I Honestly cant even smell that one(it smells like nothing). But this one is very Woody, which almost gives a “spicy” vibe i guess. It smells very nice, not the best fragrance i own, but I could see myself repurchasing this in the future, which is Big for me as I have so many perfumes in my collection, and have decluttered so many within the last year. So a strong like for me. The fragrance Itself isnt a strong projector. So of you want people to be able to smell you from afar I wouldnt say this is the one for you. On the other hand it smells so good when you spray it in the air/on you. And my boyfriend liked it (and he is super picky). On the other hand this is the perfect “you smell so good without trying” type of scent in my opinion. Like it actually does give a clean girl Vanilla, without it being the versache bright crystal/la belle/libre/carolina herrera/delina/flora etc. typical generic vibe. Also doesnt smell like laundry detergent/musky like the perfumes from clean Either.

I have been wanting this so badly ever since I tried it when it first came out. I just didn't want to spend $80 on a VS perfume. Every time there was a sale I missed it until today, the 100mL was on sale for $55 and I had a $10 off discount code, I luckily got it for just $47 almost 50% off. I dont care how basic, overhyped or how many vanilla perfumes you have this is a must have in your collection. Perfect for every day wear and to layer with. It smells like bath & body works "bonfire bash" with a more creamier undertone & milk note. The milk note is what makes this fragrance so incredible, and the longer it wears on your skin the better the scent becomes. It's sexy, sensual & sophisticated, great date night scent. VS did a great job with this one 👏 I hope they never get rid of it and make it a permanent scent in their collection. I also want to add since I had the chance to wear it for a day the longevity is surprisingly very good for a VS perfume. I sprayed it on me before I went to bed and could still smell it fully the next morning.

Edit for users who read the similarity between this one and Vanilla Skin: yes, they are similar, but Vanilla Skin is more straightforward, more sugary, less persistent, less creamy and less complex than BSV. Vanilla Skin is a 8 to me, this one a 10. Honestly blown away: love at first sniff at the airport, had to snatch it right away and almost didn't make it to my flight (the duty free shop was pretty overcrowded). Since Vanilla Lace came out, no other Vanilla by VS really impressed me in the past years (and I have already written a review on the new Vanilla Lace let down). This one is enchanting, round, warm, creamy, velvety, subtle, woody but not too much, gourmand but not in your face: the perfect everyday vanilla throughout! Not cloying, office friendly and with very good performance on my skin. 10/10. For reference, I am not a fan of the rest of the Bare series, body sprays or eau de parfum, they are kinda meh to me. This one really stands out and shines!

Bare Sueded Vanilla, I did not expect to fall this hard for you. This has got to be one of the best perfume releases VS has ever put out. A creamy, lactonic vanilla that smells luxury; I get that comparison to Bare Vanilla, Vanilla Skin by Phlur, and SDJ 59. With that saffron and suede note, that elevates this fragrance to become a more sophisticated, well-rounded perfume. There’s a perfect balance between gourmand, woody, and having that perfect kick of spice in the background. VS pulled through: still going strong 7 hours on my clothes and skin. I also love how there are no or weird undertones to this, too... Just straight up milky sweet vanilla, wrapped in a delicate sandalwood and saffron note. This is going to be a stellar hit, and not one of those viral perfumes that’s overhyped for views. I’m telling you right now, VS needs to keep this permanent because they created a stunner! 10/10. And for the price point? Ordering backups.

This is my first time trying a perfume from Victoria’s Secret and I did not expect to enjoy this scent as much as I do! I tend to feel indifferent about vanilla forward scents, but saw someone say this smells similar to Saltair’s vanilla so I bought a travel size to test it out. It very quickly became a go-to scent for me. It’s warm, but still light enough for the heat (although I think this would thrive in the colder months), it has a hint of sweetness without being too cloying, and it lasts a very long time on my skin. My only issue...I ran out of my travel size pretty quickly so I purchased the 3.4oz bottle yesterday and it smells completely different. I think my bottle needs to sit and age for a bit, but the full size bottle smells more like a vanilla extract type of vanilla than the scent I was getting from my travel size. I’ll wait a few weeks and keep my fingers crossed that it morphes into the scent I was introduced to.

Yupppp, this is basically a perfume version of Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59. I ain’t mad at it, though. I prefer to have perfumes rather than body sprays, and I loved Cheirosa 59, so having basically that same fragrance in an (affordable!) EDP version is a win! For those who are not familiar, this is basically a creamy and warm floral vanilla. VS describes it as “creamy and spiced” and that’s basically true, although this is not super spicy to my nose. You can tell they really just added vanilla to the original Bare. They are definitely different enough to own both, though. With Bare Sueded Vanilla, you get the woods and that sweet violet note at the top, but it’s a little warmer, deeper, and sweeter than OG Bare. I will say, despite the name, I don’t really get a distinct “suede” note in here but I don’t care. It’s a cozy scent, not overwhelming at all. For fall and winter days, or summer nights.

i thought i wasnt going to like this bc of the suede, but omg as a vanilla girl this has to be one of the best smelling vanilla perfumes! i did like one spray of the perfume on my wrist at the store to test and when i initially smelled it i was like oh. its just bare vanilla😭😭😭 and i was bummed out BUT then like 2 hours later i kept getting whiffs of it like it had a soft, milky, sweet slightly suede-y smell with a HINT of spices and i was addicted to the smell 😭 and like i would get whiffs of it whilst I was walking and mind you i only put on ONE spray of it on one wrist so the sillage is not bad! the longevity is good too its been on my wrist for about 5 hours now! ill definitely save up for the full bottle!!! (ps if you're worried about the spices or suede it wasnt overwhelming at all *atleast on me* and it really complimented the scent!)

I love this scent! A woody-vanilla "skin" scent is the best way I can describe it. I do think there's several fragrances out there that smell very similar, but this is the best value in my opinion. I think it's comparable to Dream by The Maker or Lancome La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude, but much more affordable for what you're getting. The spicy saffron and suede note really enhances the vanilla, which is woody, and semi-sweet, but not exactly a gourmand. The milk note helps to smooth everything out a lot so it's not overly harshened by the Sandalwood. I can even wear this in the summer (evenings) because it's not a cloying or syrupy vanilla. Victoria's Secret has some great sales, I got my full size bottle for only $39 which is the cost of some travel size perfumes! Long lasting, great sillage, affordable, and well rounded, 9/10

This doesn’t have the same DNA that I get from the OG Bare & Bare Rose, which both smell extremely similar to one another on the dry down (it’s that dream wood note I think). While I actually do quite like this scent, I was disappointed that I don’t really get any of the suede or saffron or even milkiness that I was hoping for. To me this smells like vanilla-scented cosmetic powder, specifically it reminds me of Coty airspun powder. It has a cozy, fuzzy kind of feel to it - the suede is more of a texture than a scent here. Unfortunately this also just doesn’t last at all on my skin. If it was just a little stronger and longer lasting it would be a love, not just a like. I think would make for a nice bedtime/cozy day at home scent and I’ll use up my travel size but don’t see myself repurchasing this one.

This is preeeeetty. At first I hardly noticed it on my skin. The vanilla starts pretty subtle. There is a softness to this fragrance and I get what people say when they mention a velvety texture. The saffron is bright and punchy at first. Then, you get the suede throughout the wear, though it's a gently almost fuzzy suede. It's not loud and it's not aggressively leathery. If just grounds the creaminess of the vanilla that follows. This feels suitable for year round and can be worn and easily layered with other scents for a versatile fragrance for most occasions. I'll be reaching for this pretty often I think 😇 As far as comparisons to vanilla skin. It's not as peppery, is way creamier, and slightly more subtle. Though there are noticable similarities in the DNA. They've switched the pepper for saffron.

This is THE vanilla perfume if you're a vanilla girly. Most of my collection/the perfumes I reach for the most are vanilla leaning so I've tried a good bit by now. This is just a solid, everyday, super versatile fragrance and a staple imo if you love vanilla. I agree with most people saying this is ideal for fall/winter, but it's also really not too heavy or cloying to wear all year-round either. I wasn't expecting the milk note to stand out so much on my skin, but I actually really like it. It's soft & milky, creamy, cozy, warm, like if being wrapped in a warm blanket was a perfume. The projection and longevity seems decent as well and such a beautiful blend of notes! Update: So someone told me this bottle reminds them of a ballsack and now I can't unsee it. Great.

This fragrance is my current obsession!! Bare Sueded Vanilla holds its own as a creamy, cozy, and milky vanilla. My experience with the saffron note was a little confusing at first but it's only apparent in the initial spray. Wait for the dry down!! After a few minutes, you're left with a long lasting and close to the skin sweetness. I went on a few dates while wearing this perfume and the guys were fans as well;) In my honest opinion as a vanilla lover, this is a unique scent that I love having in my collection. Since I got it, it has been my most reached for perfume and I always get compliments when I wear it. P.S. If it's worth mentioning, I did not enjoy Phlur's Vanilla Skin but Sol De Janeiro's Cheirosa 59 is a favorite of mine.

I was not a fan of this fragrance when I first bought it, so much that I even gave away the matching lotion. It was way, wayyy too woody for my nose. I think it may have been the Sandalwood, which I’m learning to be more patient with. But it’s been months since I’ve gotten it and I randomly reached for it a few weeks ago and my opinion has totally changed. Now it’s this amazingly creamy/milky, warm, vanilla; the woodiness is still there but it’s lighter and blends in so much more beautifully. It smells like the perfect fall and winter scent, or something you’d save for an important night out. If you’re new to this and “blegh” like I was, definitely try and let it sit for a while before totally forming a final opinion!

When I first smelled this in VS, I was in love. My favorite notes in a perfume are usually Vanilla, Musk, & Sandalwood. Give or take a light floral. I’m easy on spice because I don’t like all of them, but the saffron in here takes this perfume to another level. It smells like such a sweet warm cinnamon-ish vanilla to me! It also settles into my skin so nicely. I’m a woody vanilla girly, but this is so yummy to me! I pair it with my Vanilla Musk perfume oil by Nemat, and it smells lovely. Definitely a nice combo for the autumn/winter seasons. I’d love to pair this with SDJ 59, considering I tried them both in sephora and they were amazing together! Definitely will be keeping this in my collection permanently.

Ok, WOW. Let me preface by saying I am a hardcore vanilla lover and have been collecting vanilla scented fragrances for 20 years. This one blew me away. It was exactly what I wanted Vanilla Skin by Phlur to be. It is absolutely reminiscent of Vanilla Skin, minus the peppery notes. It’s basically all base notes, which I don’t hate! It’s a very round fragrances with no sharp edges - to my nose, a perfect vanilla musk. I can see this layering well with everything. It could easily blend into all seasons depending on how you layer. It could be a clean girl fragrances paired with more skin musks and sandalwood, or even a super clean musk like 11:11 body oil. I’m excited to try different variations!

If Vanilla Skin and Cheirosa 59 had a baby it’d be this perfume. It’s not as woody as Vanilla Skin, it’s way creamier, milkier and sweeter. The milk note here is done well, it doesn’t turn sour on me thankfully. It’s so warm, smooth and comforting. This is definitely a crowd pleaser, the projection is quite good, I only sprayed it on the back of my hand once and a hour later someone asked me what I was wearing because I smelled so good! If you thought Vanilla Skin was way too woody for you, definitely give this perfume a try. Personally I don’t like woody perfumes but since this perfume is more lactonic than woody I fell in love with it. It’s so so good!

Never in my life I thought I will say my favorite perfume is from victoria secret who sells bra and panty 😭 this is so versatile, I can wear it in hot spring day, on cool night or hot night. The vanilla is soft like cheirosa 59, there is softness that comes from milk not coconut, milky, this is what commodity milk orchid hopes they are but cannot achieve, the spicyness is like phlur vanilla skin without funk musky scent. Think like you wed vanilla skin mist and cheirosa 59 body cream (not the perfume, the body cream). Sadly it projects softly and only last for 4 hours ish but with the promo or discount as VS member, this worth every penny!

omg this is perfection. such a beautiful lactonic woody vanilla. despite its milkiness, it’s not overly sweet or gourmand. the sandalwood and suede add to the creaminess but give this fragrance an unexpected sophistication. it definitely does bear a vague resemblance to phlur’s vanilla skin, but this is is far superior. sueded vanilla lacks the harsh peppery note that i hated in vanilla skin. it smells so much more well-blended, gentle, and wearable to me. the performance is also pretty impressive for a vs perfume. it lasts forever with pretty strong projection. haven’t worn it out yet, but i can’t imagine this not getting compliments.

It was love at first sniff for me, I smelled it a VS shop, went for dinner, came back and bought a travel size and then ordered a full sized bottle 2 weeks after. I love to layer it with Bare vanilla body mist, adds additional sweetness and fluffiness. But the longevity is not the best, same goes for projection - I feel like the bare vanilla body mist is doing better here. I'd expect more from EDP. It made me realise I love saffron note and I love how perfect it smells with the bare vanilla body mist - spicy vanilla perfection! Hope it won't get discontinued as it became my signature scent for office.

It's not your regular overbearingly sweet vanilla. Sweet yes but more woody and that suede note is so subtle that it doesn't make you sick or gives you a headache, and actually goes reall well with the vanilla! Projection is mid at best but the longevity? I'm surprised people say it's bad, I've worn this for several hours now (on my wrists first to test), and even showered and the scent is still going strong! It does deffo need time to dry down, you'll think it's going to be super weak after spraying and then a couple minutes later it'll be a BOMB.

This is so beautiful. It is one of my best recent blind buys. The suede note is so soft and cozy. The vanilla is perfectly rounded. I just can’t get enough of this one. I’m already planning on buying a back up bottle as the bottle isn’t that large. I know I’m going to fly through it. Oh and for what it’s worth, I actually disagree with most of the smells like fragrances listed. Like, I strongly disagree! It doesn’t smell anything like Vanilla Skin, Sol de Jainero 59, or Plush Vanilla. I own all of these fragrances and they aren’t similar.

huge fan. I've been reaching for this nonstop. Grown up vanilla without leaning masculine or peppery. very cozy, very fall/winter appropriate. theres a certain 'your skin but better' aspect to it, which makes it reminiscent of vanilla skin, but they definitely arent dupes. very creamy and kinda ... nutty? probably the cardamom effect. if this was a drink, id say it was a vanilla tea latte with a little bit of cardamom. Solidly unisex, as long as youre into this general genre of fragrance.

I got a travel spray. At first it was very woody for some reason? It smelled different from the tester but I left it for a month and used it yesterday and omg its silky smooth lactonic vanila scent like I smelled it in the VS store. Sexy but soft vibes. I completely agree with ailenbaby2000. One of the most VANILLA vanilla perfume ever smelled (I can’t notice vanila note if it isn’t super significant but this one does it for me) I might buy a full bottle after I’m done with travel spray.

After having this a few weeks, my opinion on this has vastly changed since I first got it. This is actually a very long lasting perfume! I can smell it all day and it lasts on clothes for days. I sprayed my robe and I could still smell it when I woke up as I moved around. It’s a very smooth vanilla. I am impressed. I like it more than any other vanilla fragrance I have quite honestly. This will be a constant repeat purchase for me. It layers great with black opium pe parfum!

This is such a sophisticated scent, I was in love as soon as I smelled it. It's so well blended, this salty, leathery, vanilla with a hint of spiciness. It's almost like spiced salted caramel and suede. Absolutely delicious without being too sweet. It's sexy and elevated, and the leather note adds so much interest to the fragrance overall. Throughout the day, the spiciness wears off, and you get more of that woody vanilla as it dwindles down to a skin scent.

Yes, this is very close to Phlur Vanilla skin, but at a fraction of the cost (especially whe VS has huge sales). Master perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux (House of Bo, Artiquiste, Clinque Happy to name a few of his famous creations) also was the nose behind Bare Sueded Vanilla. This smells even creamier and more vanillic and less woody than Vanilla Skin to my nose. Such a beautiful scent trail and muskiness to this one, happy to have it in my collection.

A beautiful fragrance that’s a wonderful addition to the Bare line. Still maintaining that “you, but better” overall idea of Bare, Sueded Vanilla rounds out the collection this warm, spicy yet slightly creamy approach. Instantly smell the spice of the saffron which is warmed by the sandalwood. Also getting a non-gourmand vanilla, that sits slightly under the other notes. The fragrance has a nice creaminess, but to my nose it’s not hugely lactonic.

If your favorite SDJ mist is Cheirosa 59, don't hesitate to buy this one. Bare Suede Vanilla is LITERALLY the perfume version of Cheirosa 59 with a touch of Phlur Vanilla Skin. SDJ mists don't last very long on my skin, so I'm glad I got this one because it lasts about 6 hours on me and leaves quite a trail. I love it because it's so easy to wear, a fluffy creamy delicious vanilla. I liked it so much I even bought the body lotion and body mist!!

This isn’t your typical sugary vanilla that teenagers and young women tend to gravitate to. It’s more mature, soft, and silky smooth with a skin-like quality that melds beautifully with my body chemistry. It feels elegant, sensual, and a comforting...Like a warm embrace. There's nothing super special about this blend, what you see in the notes is what she gives, but it is by far the best fragrance that Victoria Secret has ever put out.

I would love to tell you that it’s hype. That the fragrance girlies made it all up. Unfortunately, I cannot. It’s so so good. *this is NOT a gourmand*. If you’re looking for one, skip this. If you’re looking for the most beautiful vanilla sexy skin scent, absolutely buy it and spray it everywhere. It’s not floral like vanilla 01, and not too leathery. It’s just perfect. I should have bought the big bottle.

A warm, sexy vanilla. I don’t usually like leather or suede notes, but if they are blended with a softening vanilla note, my eyes turn into love hearts and I start following the scent like Wile E Coyote follows the scent of food (I am showing my age with this reference!) It just gives the fragrance a depth and a maturity that you don't tend to get with really sweet vanillas (which I also love by the way).

I love her. I was so surprised when I smelled this as it feels like it could be a Phlur or Ellis Brooklyn type of fragrance. So smooth, not too sweet and longer lasting than I thought it would be. I immediately sprang for the 100ml after annihilating the decant kindly sent to me by a friend. I'm buying a backup ASAP as you just know Victoria's Secret won't bother to keep this beauty around for too long.

I love this so much, insane longevity for a Victoria’s Secret perfume. I like angel gold but it barely lasts and the scent profile is not as unique and impressive. It is like a stronger bare vanilla with the milk and suede like the cashmere and the saffron being a really nice scent to radiate around you. One of my favourites. I bought a travel size and I really want a whole one because it’s amazing.

Take my money this literally deserves all the hype it’s gotten. It’s such a great wear for anyone and any setting. Layering combos are endless. Office safe.. every season. It’s light, airy vanilla, followed with sweetness on the dry down and a dry but somehow milky sandalwood note. I’m such a vanilla snob and this is so classically wonderful I couldn’t be more impressed.

UGH I LOVE!! my main/only issue is i wish it lasted longer. the longevity isn't BAD i just love it so much so i want it to last forever. but i also have the travel size version so lowkey its not a big deal. i don't know much about perfume yet lmao so all i can contribute is that this smells sweet but not too sweet, a little spicy/warm/woody and just so cozy!!

Out of the entire Bare line from Victoria’s Secret, this one is that girl. She’s the cozy, warm-hug type of friend — beautiful, comforting, and effortlessly stunning. Don’t judge it on first spray; like any fragrance, it needs time to macerate. Pair it with the matching body cream and... omg. You can also pair with Palmers Tahitian Vanilla!

Its beautiful and is can actually smell it on me. Unlike other vs perfumes that tend to be more of a skin scent. This one actually is strong and smells like vanilla. Better than the other bare perfumes. Layers well with any of their vanilla body mists and lotions especially vanilla rebel. Got it for half priced so im not mad! 3.4 oz.

This is INCREDIBLE! It’s my comfort scent that just makes me feel so cozy and nice, the initial saffron opening pulls a bit sour on me but goes away in 5 mins! Then the beautiful mix of vanilla sandalwood and suede come through and it’s INTOXICATING and just so sexy! The dry down is pure vanilla milk goodness, warm cozy and alluring

This is the sexy scent for cozy-cute girls into the "downtown girl" trend and Victoria's Secret/ y2k fashion. I like my warm+cozy moderate scents. After 10min it is creamy and sweet in a quiet hug-me way and the wood note subtly adds spice. (It's Ariana Grande's "Cloud" but not plasticy. This one smells natural and aged up.)

Sweet and soft, it's a good close-to-skin fragrance with a woody vanilla dry down, it doesn't project as much as I expected but it's very pleasant for as a day to day or a layering fragance. Not sure if it's just my bottle, but the atomizer on it is very disappointing. I own cheaper perfumes that work better than this one.

This smells like a mixture of Vanilla Skin EDP with that same pencil shaving note (which I love) and SDJ 59. I love both of those fragrances and I’m just about out of Vanilla Skin, so I think I’ll buy this instead! Lovely and certainly blind buy safe if you love the two perfumes I mentioned earlier. And Wait for a sale!

Victoria's Secret Bare Vanilla is a classy beautiful gourmand fragrance that leans into a "skin-scent" aesthetic rather than being sugary sweet. It’s built on a simple but effective duo of whipped vanilla and soft cashmere, giving it a warm, musky, and sophisticated vibe. One of my favorite everyday comfort scents!

This is gorgeous and unique! As an avid vanilla lover, most vanilla's don't impress me anymore. This is a really warm and smooth vanilla. The saffron is sooo comforting and the milk and sandalwood blend everything into a smooth and creamy scent. It's beautiful for the fall, I get complements every time I wear this.

Perfect woody vanilla scent that you can wear with any occasion. This has to be my favorite 2025 perfume launch 😍 I was shocked as I was never a big Victoria Secret fan, but I absolutely love this and the entire Bare line! Hope it doesn't stay as a limited addition as I would purchase it over and over again!

This is really pretty. This fragrance is what you’d get if La vie est belle Vanilla Nude and Vanilla Skin had a baby. I won’t likely be purchasing since I already have Vanilla Skin, but I do actually like this more than Vanilla Nude. Definitely worth checking out if you like that sort of dna. 8/10

The girlies didn’t lie. The hype is real :) This is a gorgeous creamy vanilla. I get the saffron & suede but not in a offensive way. This is beautifully blended. Longevity 8+ hours. Got the travel spray and it was an instant love so ordered the 100ml bottle. This will forever be in my collection.
