The Perfume Diaries: Bare Skin

Leslie Blodget. The CEO of Bare Minerals/ Escentuals. When I think of her I think QVC. She always comes across so warm and friendly. I always get drawn in to watch and listen to her speak on the products.
Recently she has started a new venture that appears to be separate from the Bare Esentuals Brand. A line of perfume called Perfume Diaries and the first in the series called Bare Skin.
I received a sample of this new perfume to test out. When I first opened the tester to smell I wasn’t really feeling the scent much at all. It was really strong and overpowering. Its so funny though once I decided to give it another try and actually put it on my skin a few days later the scent was completely transformed. It was so much softer and fresher and I actually think I am now a fan.
This product is currently being sold in Sephora online and in Sephora stores.
See below the Press Release for Bare Skin and the Perfume Diaries:

Inspired by entrepreneurial powerhouse Leslie Blodgett’s dynamic life, Leslie Blodgett Perfume Diaries is a limited edition fragrance collection, created exclusively for Sephora, that revisits and evokes pivotal moments in Leslie’s life. Having kept journals since she was a young girl, Leslie has captured the essence of every trip she has taken through the pages of her journals. With the release of its first fragrance Bare Skin on 10/08, these pages have been brought to life through scent, enabling Leslie’s ardent fans to walk a fragrant mile in her shoes.

Bare Skin, the first scent in the series, is reminiscent of an experience during a trip to Mexico, where Leslie cart-wheeled fancy-free down a sunny beach while emanating true, unbridled joy. “When I have an experience, I like to have a scent behind it. Bare Skin, which is what Mexico reminds me of, is the way you feel when the sun is beating down on you during the day, but then you go out at night and you’re still sizzling from the warmth of the day which mingles with the night air and the music.”

“Glowing, sun-kissed skin has the power to turn heads. I wanted to recreate that attractive force with notes that draw you in: creamy sensuality, caressing florals and uninhibited musk,” says Stephen Nilsen, the celebrated Givaudan perfumer who helped concoct Bare Skin. “With Bare Skin, you will find yourself basking in the sun, with your feet in the sand, after one spritz.”
