Michael Sheer

Love at first sniff. My first love has always been soft, light florals. This hits the mark in a big way for me. The floral composition is beautiful. Tuberose that is light, airy, and delicate; lily of the valley that is pure flowers without the addition of leaves and stems; yang that is slightly sweet but not fruity. Best yet, no gardenia. That added a heavy buttery aspect to Kor’s signature scent that just felt oppressive around me. It also hijacked all the other notes where after a time that’s all I could smell. This is just a clean and soft bouquet of flowers. The other notes are so well blended that none, except the sea water, stand out to me and appear to just add a supporting role to the flowers. The sea water note gives a slight beachy feel without going into beach scent territory. Everything is very smooth here. The dry down is a light soapiness as if you just washed with a fine milled soap. This is a really beautiful gossamer type scent that will be perfect for day wear in warmer weather.

I'm just coming here to say I love this perfume and I'm so sad that I only have 1 or 2 wears left in my bottle that I've been hoarding and will only bring out on the perfect spring or summer day. I smell the tuberose and jasmine and I find it very intoxicating. I'm so mad at the Michael Kors company for discontinuing some of my all time favorite fragrances. The original Michael by Michael Kors was my signature fall and winter signature scent, with Michael Kors Sheer pulling its weight for spring and summer. These are very sexy feminine fragrances that got complimented whenever I wore them. By discontinuing them they've sent me down a rabbit hole of looking for replacements. I have a small amount left of the sheer, but a 1.7oz of the OG that I haven't used yet, planning on wearing it on those days when I need to feel myself again. .

this is a nice sheer marine white floral...........its definitely not like michaels other scents which i really like but some can be a bit loud/heavy lol its very soft, safe, & delicate :) on me the stand out flowers are jasmine, lily of the valley & honeysuckle - these notes themselves can be a bit loud at times lol but in this formula they are actually soft - maybe its the seawater addition to it - i do get a little saltiness with the drydown which is rather nice :) perfect for an outdoor wedding , brunch in a garden , a day/nite at the theater or a picnic in the park - not overwhelming , soft & feminine :)

I tried OroNardo by Xinú and it reminded me of many white floral perfumes I already have, but the strongest resemblance was to Sheer. Doing a side by side, I found it is remarkably similar. Normally, I would suggest going with what used to be the much cheaper option, which was Sheer before it was discontinued, but unfortunately, the prices have now gone through the roof. But if you can find a deal, it would be a good substitute for the much more expensive OroNardo. Performance is about the same.

I own a bottle of this and usually mix it with other things. It has a nice muskiness and floral complexity that I appreciate, but it feels kind of unexciting to me by itself. It's interesting that it's called "Sheer," because without seeing the name, I thought of women's stockings in a department store. It reminds me of shopping with my mom in the 90s–it smells both conventional and commercial. It's also dependably relaxing. Overall a "nice" perfume, not a show-stopper.
