fresh - green - floral - clean
The headline actually says it all.
I'm surprised that only 4 users here own it, even though the fresh - floral - clean faction is not only slightly present here at Parfumo.
So folks, give this scent a try. However, I recently saw it at the turquoise fragrance dealer already on the bottom shelf. Unfortunately, not discounted.

I've had it in my collection for as long as it has existed and I like to come back to it every now and then.

The scent development is not complicated or even lengthy.
I don't smell any bergamot; I immediately smell light green flowers.
Although they are white in the heart note (lily of the valley in a modern way), the green tint is certainly due to the violet leaf.
On my skin, the green persists until the end.

To the light green floral notes, a powdery, clean creaminess from the base notes adds up.

Well, that's it. Sometimes I really enjoy something like this. I've worn this scent in every season.
Unlike my predecessor, I have to apply it sparingly, as the intensity and longevity are quite decent! Otherwise, the cleanliness quickly gets on my nerves.

Why is it called "Almost Bare"? Well, it's not entirely unsexy with all that cleanliness...

clean violet water
I didn't expect a fragrance from a makeup artist to be any good and actually just sniffed it out of curiosity (and a bit because I wanted to make fun of it), but I was really pleasantly surprised.

My first impression was "clean" - and the second was "violet." Almost Bare is for me a freshly washed, light violet. Very pleasant and, in the best sense, not intrusive. In my opinion, there are also a few other light notes underneath, but I can't really assign any specifically. There is supposed to be lily of the valley in it, but I didn't pick that up, as it usually is a dealbreaker for me.

The overall impression is, as already mentioned, very clean, almost the scent of a white vest;-).

The name for the fragrance is really very fitting: almost "without"; yet it is still beautiful.

The longevity is only moderate, but since I really liked the clean violet - so much that I absolutely wanted it - I actually waited 4 (!) weeks for it because it was just "out."

Almost Bare is not a "hit" or "fragrance of the year," but when I'm in the mood for something nice, innocent, and clean, then it's just right for me.

Best regards
