For those of you who don't know, Leslie Blodgett is the CEO and beauty powerhouse behind Bare Escentuals mineral makeup. If you don't use it, chances are you know someone who does (my mom), and if you do use it, chances are you die for it (catchphrase courtesy of Rachel Zoe)!
The press for this seductive little fragrance aptly named Bare Skin has been swirling around the web (and, coincidentally, right into my inbox) and it got me a little curious. Sephora has classified this fragrance as a "woody oriental" in the same family as Tom Ford Black Orchid and Thierry Mugler Angel.
My mom wore Angel while I was growing up and I remember sneaking into her room to spray some on my wrists and then lying when she asked me if I had used it. It is such a complex, beautiful scent but the strongest thing about it are the memories it triggers . That's what I love most about scents and fragrance especially. A certain smell can unlock the sweetest memory and can make you feel at home or remind you of that special someone even when you're miles away.
What is so great and unique about Bare Skin is that Blodgett has created the fragrance based on a magical Mexican vacation, using the joy she felt and the memories created there as inspiration. A smell can unlock many a memory, but in this case, Blodgett's first fragrance is an homage to a joyous vacation spent sun-kissed and care-free on the beaches of Mexico.
With notes of Black Pepper, Freesia, Vanilla Orchid, Plumeria, Patchouli, Sandalwood, and Musk (and more!), Sephora reviewers described the scent as rich, and sexy. Is it as sexy as bare skin on a Mexican beach? I'll believe it when I smell it.
