Beautiful Sheer

A light, bright and crisp white floral with a touch of sweetness. I love this scent and I only need one or two sprays to get great (but non-suffocating) silage and longevity. This is a surprise love and I don’t see many people here talking about it, but I rate it among my favourites. For me there are no stand-out notes because it’s blended beautifully into an airy, floral and green accord. The fruit notes give it a subtle sweetness without it actually smelling too fruity on me. It has a slight clean sharpness to it that I love and that I think makes it more sophisticated and less playful than it would otherwise be. To me it smells expensive and classy in a way that I might expect would suit smart business or cocktail attire in spring and summer. This is my favourite from Estée Lauder, and I do enjoy this house overall. Edit: I’m wearing this today in 45 degree Celsius (113 degrees fahrenheit) summer heat and it has burned off all other notes except extreme, honey-like mimosa that I don’t usually get so much of on my skin. I prefer this in slightly cooler weather now.

This has a slightly sharper lily than Baiser Vole edp, but similar enough to bring Baiser to mind. There is also a beautifully blended floral base that is suggestive of Romeo Gigli's edp - the flat disc bottle with the spiral lid. Together, Beautiful Sheer becomes a light hearted and playful spring floral. No soapiness of the original Beautiful, and not much to indicate a family DNA. I think this a fruity floral due to the hefty pear note. The name is a misnomer, as Sheer isn't like Beautiful and certainly isn't sheer in sillage and longevity. That all said, I am pleased to add it to my collection. It is perfect as a work scent on warmer days and a decidely easy choice for lazy Sunday brunches.

I wish I could go back in time and buy a large bottle of this before they discontinued it. I enjoyed wearing this in the summer. It’s such a sharp, crisp scent. The floral notes are so green and light. I don’t know how they managed it but the fragrance would last for hours and hours, you would never expect this performance from such a light airy perfume. Would be nice if Lauder would release some of their discontinued perfumes as limited edition every once in a while. At least then we could get the chance to own it again in the knowledge that it won’t be back forever.

Nothing like original Beautiful imo. Sheer doesn't consist of your typical 3 notes. Underrated and underused enough that you won't smell like everyone else. Sure, there's hints of some mainstream scent, but it's unique in that you can't quite place it. Less sweet than typical florals, fresh like pink champagne with little fizzy, carbonated bubbles. It's gotten compliments each time I've ever worn it. The only complaint is the silage.

I have worn Beautiful for many years and loved it. Then I discovered Beautiful Sheer when it was launched. I prefer the Sheer version. A light, sweet floral scent which is perfect for a hot summer's day under the African sun. I do not like sweet scents that become cloying. This one does not. It's just the right amount of sweet. :-) It's a playful fragrance suitable for a fairly wide audience.

I love Beautiful Sheer. It smells soft and feminine, a light floral fragrance. I don't think it is too sweet smelling, but it has an innocence to it that I adore! It is uncomplicated, but that's what I love about it! As my other perfume is Narciso Rodrigues, Sheer beautiful is a light and playful alternative to NR, which tends to be dark, broody and sexy.

Deeply warm and inviting, rose and gardenia. No woods, no powders, just a wall of scent that lasts all day-- almost 16 hours. I can not wear any other Beautiful scent, except for this one.

Estee lauder if you see this please bring it back. It’s a fresh and pretty scent. Imagine a beautiful woman wearing a light and airy light pink dress is what this smells like to me

love it! a lighter, airy version of the original "beautiful," this is my preferred selection for the spring and summer and during the day.

This is a wonderful scent, made for a bride!! Lovely. Pity was a limited edition. My all time favourite if only could buy it again!

Really wish estee lauder would bring this back. I absolutely loved this fresh soapy floral scent that lasted forever and ever

I love Beautiful Sheer. Fresh, fun, bright! I want to have it again!!!

After all the bad reviews I was hesitant to waste an entire day of perfume testing on Beautiful Sheer, but I did. Mostly because I really like the bottle. It's simple but some how clean and classic, and I like the pale pink color of the perfume with the silver cap. Whatever works! Anyway, the verdict=good! I will have to plagarize here and say that when "The Guide" authors reviewed this EDP as "pear shampoo" they were spot on. It starts of with floral-citrus topnotes, grapefruit around the edges that I wish would last longer-but citrus never does...then the heart is a very sweet but not sugary pear. I think of someone with fine, soft, straight, dark wheat colored hair who just got out of the shower and leaves a trail of her nice shampoo behind. (This, of course, does not resemble my hair in the least.) Beautiful Sheer is a nice fruity floral, feminine and pretty, that I would reach for whenever I have to be in close quarters with others and I don't want to offend, or when I simply don't know that to wear that day. This isn't the most interesting perfume, but it works well, and I ended up buying a 1 oz. bottle of it a few days later. I guess it varies from person to person, but if you have an opportunity to test it out on your skin for the day, give it a try. And keep in mind that it does change quite a bit in the first hour or so. EDIT: Alas I had to ebay this one. It became cloying and horribly synthetic after a few wearings. And unbearably linear, as if the scent of a hair gel intensifies with wear and never goes away. I can still see how people like this, and no, I never got the pee/vinegar thing, but it ended up not working nonetheless.

this used to be my happy-scent in my teenage years. Not too special, no, but even though I appreciate perfumes, they don't always have to be overwhelming and extrovert. When the girls used to put on Wish or Angel after sports or at lunch break, I had always imagined they had something to "hide" underneath, like smelly sweat or maybe just their lacking personality. Actually, fragrances are supposed to mix with your own smell and not suffocate it. Still, until today, I am a big fan of sophisticated, clean and minimalistic scents. With this you can't go wrong, try it out and you will instantly feel younger without smelling like cotton candy.

I love Beautiful Sheer. It's interesting that people put rose, peach and pear as the top notes because once this sits on your skin I smell mostly Magnolia (slightly citrusy) with the Linden Blossom more than anything. I guess most people might not know exactly what that smells like. This does have a sourness to it but it's fresh and floral citrusy sour and not sugary citruses with pomegranate sour. Really quite Beautiful (I know)

Pleasant fragrance, typical Lauder, but a lot fresher than the other scents. Romantic and somewhat old-fashioned, I think that was an excellent perfume for the wedding. Takes hours of equal intensity, pear and peach make it softer, while the original Beautiful too strong for me.

This is a beautifully LIGHT scent. And by that I mean you wear this and know that you are scented. I like it for daytime wear. I live in the tropics, so this is a welcomed scent.

Powdery, light, floral-rosy, has a lot of "tea" notes in it. Overall it's alright, but nothing special.

Lighter version of Beautiful...airy and fresh. Has a great summer quality. Great for after a shower.
