Lovely Sheer

I decided to wear this today as I’m tired of the dreary cold, wet of winter already and wanted something fresh and that felt like a springtime nap on clean sheets. That’s exactly what this gives me. It’s light and happy and I get a lot of bergamot from this so it’s giving me some Earl grey tea vibes which I love. I pick up the gardenia too so if you’re not a white floral fan, you probably won’t like this. It’s soapy in a delicate hand soaps shaped like flowers on a bathroom counter kind of way but not a Dove soap fresh from the shower kind of way. I really enjoy this scent. There’s also something in the background that is vaguely reminiscent of pencil shavings, which sounds odd, but I like it. I’m guessing that’s the white woods note. Overall, a pretty scent that reminds me of crisp cotton button downs with jeans or a cotton sundress that’s been dried on the line. My nose goes blind to it fairly quickly but I get compliments well into the day so lasting power must be alright when sprayed on clothes (I always do).

I had to review this, because it is one of my favorites ☺️ Crispy clean, uplifting, lovely dry down. I think it deserves more love than other highly popular fragances - that disappointed me greatly. This is one of the few perfumes with Bergamot note that but I can really feel it (the fresh one, not the chemical formulas). I also smell clearly the gardenia flower. Longevity is medium on my skin, a little better on clothes. I don't feel sexy wearing it, but I feel myself... Transparent like the bottle. It has nothing to do with the original Lovely, or Lovely You : both in my collection but gifted to friends.

I love this! Far better than the original! And it smolders on my skin in the heat and really works its magic. Its fresh and lasts a really long time on my skin and keeps that fresh scent and does not melt off my skin when i sweat, like most fragrances do on me. I love the opening so much but the dry down is such a clean musky freshness that is really nice in the heat and im satisfied with the performance. Its beautiful and fresh yet strong. I dont like weak fragrances at all, they diminish too quickly and are a waste of money. This is well done especially for oily skin and ppl who sweat a lot like i do.

SJP Lovely Sheer = The unisex version of Aqua Di Gio. This is the original lovely but with less apple martini smell...and the citrus notes turned way up. This is very shower fresh! This really is like a less-earthy, less feminine, more shower-fresh version of lovely. To sum it up...it's gorgeous...CLEAN...and unisex. Smells like Aqua Di Gio for men and the original Lovely had a baby. Beautiful. Clean. Classy. Unisex. Crowd Pleaser. Compliment magnet. Sillage - Great! About 4-5 feet. Longevity - Also great! About 6-7 hours. Scent Itself - 9/10 Overall Score - 9/10 SJP is a fragrance genius. Period.

A nice twist to "Lovely" musky fragrance, perfect partner to Gardenia(Orange Blossom is a white flower too but I don't know if it's what I'm picking up) that I love too. They smooth each other out. 02/02*I'm wearing Lovely 10th Anniversary today and I pick up what I identify as "white flower", since every time I smell it and check it, the common denominator is that.* Very light, maybe I should use it in Summer when I'm warmer(right now even the strongest of my fragrances aren't coming through as much as they usually do).

Lovely Sheer is like a modernised version of the original. It's more wearable, the sharpest notes are a bit softer. I don't see this as a flanker. If you are like me and find the original a bit difficult to wear, because of the alcohol notes (or this is my impression), Sheer is a better choice. This is something I can wear after sauna, to work or use it as a dumb reach. Longevity is surprisingly good. It's very inexpensive but does not smell like a celebrity cheapie.

I’m here to tell you that this perfume smells nothing like Phlur Missing Person, Narciso Rodriguez For Her, or Replica Lazy Sunday Morning. None of those have the orange blossom citrus that Sheer Lovely has. With that being said, I love this one. I’ve always loved the OG Lovely but I have to say I think I like Sheer better. Someone mentioned it gives a Clinique Happy vibe and I totally agree. The orange floral. It’s Happy but more delicate.

THIS is a Lovely I can wear! I wanted to love the original and could see why she is sooo popular, but the patchouli note was just to prominent for me. But here come this little beauty, to me it smells like fresh floral peony and musk! So beautiful! But like many sheers, it needs to be reapplied often. But since it smells so so good, the reapply is like an calm, uplifting "me" moment throughout my day.

Lovely Sheer is my favourite from the Lovely collection. It has everything I love about the original and enhances the floral qualities of it, lessens the musk, and makes it a bit more citrusy and dewy. I love wearing this whenever, and it's not easy to over spray. Easy going... Lovely!

This is delicious, fresh and light, with really beautiful citrus notes that make it perfect for spring or summer. Hugely neglected and/or under-rated. They aren't the same but this does have a similar essence to Benefit's Maybe Baby.

Oh wow - I just picked this one up and it is another SJP Lovely flanker win. Gardenia. Citrus. Musk. This one is also a bit bright and fuzzy, like the OG. Did I mention the gardenia? You can pick it out.

Lovely Sheer is a light, sheer citrus floral musk - inexpensive and excellent for layering with other perfumes to bring out any of these three elements of another scent.

So pretty and clean. Like walking in a garden of gardenias, drinking a mellow glass of lemonade wearing a little splash of Diorissimo.

Natalie Wood perfume with the hint of Elie Saab Le Parfum! My aunt loves it to wear and I smell it everytime I met her!

I have this and Lazy Sunday Morning by Maison Margiela. I much prefer this for actual lazy sunday mornings!

It's like I've tumbled into a party of champagne and clementines that I'm loath to leave

I am currently trial testing this but I do like it just not as much as the original Lovely so far. Lovely Sheer is.. Well, to put it rather bluntly a very sheer, citrus and airy sort of perfume. It's deliciously clean and bright and just.. Idk there's something happy about it.. In some ways it actually reminds me of Happy by Clinique for the sort of vibe it gives off being clean, citrus and just uplifting. It feels like spring in a bottle however it is nothing like Happy! Just want to put that out there. Both perfumes just uplift me and that's an absolutely lovely effect to have on ones mental health. Anyways back to the review: Lovely Sheer is a delight, I must confess. If you like to smell clean and of gardenia.. But not the cloying, buttery gardenia that chokes you out I think you might really like this. I personally love all of the notes listed in Lovely Sheer and that is why I blind bought it and I personally don't regret it but I am still trying to find that sweet spot, perhaps layering it with something like lavender or skin musk but that's the thing about this and the original Lovely, you can definitely layer these or wear them as stand alones and I like that. Also: Lovely Sheer is clean but not in an overly screechy way (I'm looking at you Elizabeth Taylor and J Lo perfumes). This is really just light, clean and airy. It's like something the Air Faerie from Neopets would wear and I'm so here for it. It's like spring in a bottle but without the pollen LOL

This is very simply, a fresher, lighter and cleaner version of the original Lovely. It feels and smells so similar to the original, but without the weight and enveloping waxy petal texture with intense musk that made it difficult for me to wear frequently. This edition is soapier (thanks to the orange blossom), it retains some of the powdery quality (while being delicate about it), and has an overall more citrusy body. There is no doubt to me that it is a relative of Lovely (the initial moments smell almost identical), but it softens and settles into a version that is entirely more wearable through heat and humidity. It has never once given me a headache (like the original was prone to do), and I have never received the commentary of it being too much, too reaching or choking like the original prompted people to do. It is the quiet younger sister of the original. So many of the same aspects, but you just have to listen more closely to hear the same attitude. This is for me, a really good balance which allows me to wear and enjoy a fragrance that caused me some difficulty. If you enjoy clean, citrus or soapy scents, or if the original version was too much for you, Sheer could very well be a good choice for you. I picked it up as a blind buy (which is very out of the ordinary for me), knowing the things I wished Lovely was, and it worked out to be almost exactly in line with what I needed. Mature, elegant, simple and easy to wear. Nice.

I was pleasantly surprised by this fragrance, it's definitely the best version of Lovely (at least to me) both in terms of longevity and smell. I wanted to love the original SJP Lovely so much because it's a very nice budget perfume, very accessible, affordable and very different from the typical sweet, syrupy celebrity scents but it had something that put me off, it was something I couldn't stand about the original Lovely and now that I have the Sheer version I can compare it - it's the lavender! Lovely Sheer has the same DNA to the original version (and to Narciso Rodriguez for her!) except the strong, cold, harsh, lavender and the irony is that on me Is more long lasting and has better projection. Very clean, floral, citrusy, natural smell. A perfect blend of musk, citrusy notes, pink pepper, orange blossom and a sprinkle of gardenia - so simple yet so complex and feminine.

I find this to be about 80% similar to the original Lovely. The other 20% is reminiscent of Happy or Happy Heart. I'm not sure I really needed to buy this one, even though I got it for practically nothing, as I already have the OG. It's nice enough but not really so distinctive. I wish the citrus were more pronounced on me and lasted longer. What I do get in the opening as far as the citrus goes is a slightly bitter note. I don't mind it actually but I would have preferred something livelier and less generically citrusy. Longevity is similar to the OG. I suppose I will wear this in the summer and then decide if I want to keep it in my collection or to give it away. Edit - So I gave it to my sister who used to wear Happy Heart and she's thrilled with it. All in all it is a nice scent but I didn't feel I needed it in addition to the OG which I feel is more distinctive.
