by Urban Decay
Go Naked by Urban Decay is an oil-based fragrance that evokes the essence of sun-kissed skin at the beach—light, fresh, and subtly ozonic. It opens with a bright, aromatic citrus bloom of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, accented by sea salt and petitgrain, giving it a crisp, tanning oil-like quality. This transition quickly softens into a floral-musky base of neroli, orange blossom, jasmine, lavender, and soft musk, smoothing into a warm, skin-like dry down. The perfume is low in sillage and remains intimate—close to the skin—but its salinity and subtle amber-tinged warmth lend a quiet sensuality and a distinctly vacation-like mood. While some note faint citrus upon initial application, most observers find it fades quickly, leaving a signature of salted musk and soft florals that replicates the feeling of being on a sunny beach. The fragrance is highly suitable for daytime summer wear, with strong preference among fans of clean, skin-like scents and minimal complexity. It is particularly praised for its layered, atmospheric character, though its longevity and sillage are considered moderate to weak, relying on frequent application due to the formulation’s oil base. Despite being discontinued, it remains sought after for its unique, affordable, and memorable beachskin quality.
