What does Almost Bare smell like?

The top notes of violet leaf and bergamot open green and bright. In the heart, jasmine and lily of the valley bring the floral side forward. Musk and cedarwood in the base soften everything and leave a lightly woody, powdery finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. Its fresh, floral character suits easy everyday wear. French Avenue Noble Cedar and Van Cleef & Arpels Muguet Blanc have a close profile.
