Beach

7.0

Bobbi Brown · 2002

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Bobbi Brown Beach is a fresh, citrusy women's fragrance that leans towards spring and summer days. In Beach, spindrift, jasmine and mandarin orange sit side by side. The scent stays fresh and aquatic from start to finish: the mandarin brings a bright citrus note, and the jasmine softens it towards the floral side. Green and woody tones stay in the background, and a synthetic touch gives it a clean feel. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin without drawing attention. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and it is picked most often for leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters call it feminine and modern.

Eau de Parfum

Bobbi Brown Bath Eau de Parfum is a fresh, floral women's scent built around neroli, orange blossom and water hyacinth. The whole composition reads fresh and citrusy: neroli and orange blossom carry the floral side, while water hyacinth and lily add an aquatic, green feel. Sage deepens that greenness slightly, and sandalwood and patchouli lay down a woody base. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters pick it most for daily wear, leisure and the office, and far less for evenings. Light and clean, it is a feminine scent that sits easily through the day. Perfumes with a close profile include DKNY DKNY Women (Energizing Eau de Parfum) and Bath & Body Works In the Sun.

Almost Bare

6.9

Bobbi Brown · 2008

Fresh · Floral · Green

Bobbi Brown Almost Bare is a clean, understated women's fragrance that moves from fresh violet leaf and bergamot into a floral heart of jasmine and lily of the valley. 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.

Bobbi Brown · 1998

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Bobbi Brown Bobbi is a fresh, citrusy floral for women, built on a green and woody backbone that feels clean, calm and feminine. It opens with orange and lemon, a bright and airy start. In the heart, iris, jasmine and osmanthus bring a soft floral character, with the iris adding a faintly powdery touch. The base of patchouli, cedarwood and sandalwood settles the scent onto a woody, earthy ground. The green side stays noticeable through every layer, so the whole composition keeps a crisp, natural feel. It suits those who prefer a simple green floral to something heavy or sweet.
