Frequently Asked Questions about Skinwear by Ted Baker
What does Skinwear by Ted Baker smell like?
Skinwear by Ted Baker features top notes of Bergamot, Lemon, and Lime, middle notes of Cypress, Juniper, and Rosemary, and base notes of Amber, Cedarwood, Musk, and Sandalwood.
I've never been sure of what to make of this fragrance and I've been aware of it since it's release, I think it's simply because it's so slight. If you spray this on a card you can barely smell it and similar to it's name, on skin it becomes a very subtle skin scent. The opening is a bright smelling lemon & lime citrus and oriental woods, which lends itself to an almost Japanese incense type of feel, modern and synthetic. The main component for me is the juniper which gives this a refreshing G'n'T effect on a bed of cedar & musk. The overall feel is very airy and translucent and I kinda think Ted Baker represents 'fresh' in skinwear better than most. I actually have tried this on many occasions over the years, originally liking it, then forgetting about it, then trying it again recently and thinking it was awful. However, upon revisiting again I've flip-flopped yet again and don't think it's too bad, especially considering current releases and fragrance trends this seems like a 90's throw back. Oh yeah longevity is poor but you could do worse than reaching for this on a very hot day.
I've had more thoughts on this fragrance and I think I might add it to my wardrobe. Something about it's cheery, lightweight nature that completely epitomizies the 1990's and I'm quite nostalgic about that decade. I also finally get the Mark Birley comparisons and I'd even go more specific and say Skinwear smells a great deal like elemi resin. Do you know why I've had this revelation? Because I over sprayed like a man possessed and I think it's essential to do so in order for me to get this fragrance on any level. Now I do.
