Almost Bare Bobbi Brown for women

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.

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

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 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!

I really want to like this and in some ways, I do. It has a very "green" scent on my skin and I like the cedar, but for some reason, it doesn't appeal to me that much. I like BB Bath much better, which smells very fresh on me. I like the "just got out of the shower" fragrance and it isn't overwhelming..just clean and pretty.

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.
