Sheer Beauty

I was so very lucky to find a 1.7 ounce bottle of this amazingly beautiful fragrance on ebay for under $15 USD. It was a blind buy, but based on the notes, as well as the reviews here, I figured there was a very good chance that it would be a successful blind buy. I had no idea what an amazingly BEAUTIFUL fragrance this truly is! On my skin, from the very first spritz, I am bombarded with what seems to be the largest, most beautiful, overwhelmingly fragrant bouquet of flowers I can imagine. I'm not able to discern which flowers are in the mix, and I'm not able to smell any non-flower notes that are listed - not even the vanilla, which I usually always notice first when it is part of a fragrance's composition. This glorious perfume makes me feel like I am surrounded by this perfect, delicious, fresh, soft bouquet, like a bride on her wedding day. For me, this is the best of the best of a fresh flower scent that surrounds me and protects me from the world while I bask in the rapturous scent. I am truly in love! Highly recommended to anyone who loves flowers-only fragrances. My only complaint is the longevity. Within two hours of spraying, this fades to a skin scent, sadly. Not too sad, though, since it is available online at a great price, I just bought another, larger bottle, so I can spray it on every two hours if need be! I truly intend to keep this beauty at the front of my perfume collection for the rest of my days. 10/10 for this incredible fragrance. It is such a beautiful flower cocktail that I'm wondering if this is what heaven smells like!

VEILED Jasmine RESISTANCE. This non-perfume perfume, opens with a light, fruity burst of multi-faceted bergamot with nuances of peach-bellini, that transitions to a floral heart of peony & jasmine, resting on a musky vanilla-wood base. Additionally, on the skin I get beach-bellini and pencil shavings, and in the air I get the lily. This is overall a very light, fresh musky jasmine grandiflorum scent (not a peach-bellini scent along the lines of Heiress Paris Hilton), and the peach-bellini here is much quieter than the notes would suggest. Average performance for a light summer wearing experience. Contrast to Beauty Calvin Klein: These are different, but there is a similar DNA with jasmine. Beauty (OG) has a jasmine that's less shrouded in softening notes. Beauty outperforms. Contrast to Dior Addict EDT: These are different, but there is a similar vibe here with jasmine. DA-EDT has a deeper jasmine sambac and a bolder approach with above average performance in contrast to the light, fluffy & 'sheer' approach of Sheer Beauty. Contrast to Body by Burberry EDT: These are different, but there are similarities with fizzy peach over tea/pencil-shavings. Body EDT has a bolder approach with well above average performance, whereas Sheer Beauty has a lighter, fluffier vibe akin to Glossier You or Light Blue Dolce&Gabbama for a light summer wearing experience. Overall: Beautiful sheer scent for light summer wearing experience, this is the perfect scent to wear for a sit-in or when practicing passive resistance. Enjoy!

What a disappointment on this fragrance!... The first 5 minutes were so promissing that I thought this could be the perfect fragrance for me. Very soft lovely floral, elegant and romantic. Just perfect! The problem was, after 15 minutes it was almost gone and half an hour later there wasn't even a trace of it. It was like it never existed. I do like soft, subtle scents, but wearing Sheer Beauty or nothing it's pretty much the same thing. I think this fragrance is obscenely expensive for the time it lasts, and according to other reviewers it seems that I'm not the only one. I've worn supermarket colognes that lasted longer. Perhaps an EDP worked better... Other than that, the brief moments that it lasts, it's a lovely soft and elegant floral, innocent and inoffensive and suitable for all ages that can be worn anytime and anywhere. Edit: I received this as a gift and I have to update my review to be fair with Sheer Beauty... The 1st time I tried it was in a particularly hot day. Some notes are rapidly absorbed by our skin when it's too cold while others (especially flowers) evaporate too quicky when it's too hot- this is exactly what happened that day. This is a scent for spring, early summer, early fall, a fresh summer night, a warmer day in late winter. It can't be too hot or too cold, otherwise it won't last. In the right temperatures Sheer Beauty lasts around 5 to 6 hours. It still wouldn't hurt if it lasted a little longer, but still much better than what I previously thought.

I'm not sure if this only comes in an EDT, but I'm reviewing the EDT. This is a lovely hot weather scent. It is so clean and fresh and light. The citrus notes are almost peppery when you first spray and it is quite strong when you first put it on. The sillage shrinks to a skin scent after about 3 hours but the perfume actually lingers on your skin for the whole day (Even though it's an EDT) after that. I love the bottle and smell which is addicting. The dry down smells quite different from the opening, all the citrus disappears and it is subtle, slightly sweet, and feminine. I enjoy every stage of the perfume. I do need to reapply because of the sillage, even in the heat, but it's not expensive where I live so I think it's worth it. Although I like it a lot I'm not sure if I would buy another bottle (although I'm getting through my current bottle fairly fast). I also suspect it will completely transform in cooler weather, I might update this review then. EDIT: It is not very different in the winter. It's still beautiful. It feels extra crisp and fresh in the cold.

Another blind buy for me but this time I actually waited a day before giving my review so I could see how it lasted. I have to say that I think this is one of the prettiest perfumes I’ve ever smelled. When I first sprayed it I wasn’t sure about the fruity tone but as soon as it settled in it was the prettiest floral you could imagine. I usually spray myself with perfume before bed and let me tell you I kept getting whiffs of this all night and it was just beautiful. Same thing when I was at work today. It’s light enough to not offend others at the office but I could still smell it on me all day long (although I did touch up a little here and there). It has great sillage. I definitely see this being my every day perfume. I’m definitely getting a bigger bottle as soon as possible because I see myself going through the 1 ounce pretty quickly lol.
