Sheer Stella 2011

Just bought it for my mum as a gift and I am tempted to keep it for myself. The fragrance nicely develops on a skin, so don't judge this after first sniff ;) It is a mild sweet rose fragrance and I find it very 'romantic'. Shame it is a limited edition. Bottle is really a masterpiece. I guess I will have to buy a second bottle afterall..;)

Thanks to Marisa's wonderful review, I purchased this without even smelling it and LOVE it! I also love the original Stella and StellaNude so it was a given. Luckily the apple doesn't overwhelm here and the other fruit notes add a little zip to it. Well done!

Very pretty scent, but it smells almost too...cute? I'm in my late 30's and while I believe you should wear what you love, I'd personally feel self-conscious wearing this one. I can't put my finger on what makes me say 'cute', though. Perhaps it's the fruitiness mixing with the strange rose note. It's not a sophisticated rose such as one smells in a Rosine scent, it's louder and brasher. And in the dry down, the rose note definitely smells artificial. If you like light florals, you'll probably like this one. It's safe enough, but smells like a scent for teens.

I love, love this version of Sheer Stella. Compared to the 2008 version that I used to have, I like this one better. A light and sweet rosy smell that sits close to the skin. very calming. This is going to be my staple perfume for the next few weeks. edit : one day a friend commented if i respray this as it was around 3pm and she can still smell my perfume. I told her I sprayed this in the morning around 7!

i was really looking forward to trying it, loved the notes it had. unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. it smelled really nice on the sample paper, but did not work well with my skin chemistry. i definitely got the sour apple, but didn't get any rose. it stayed sour on my skin. must try before purchase! but beautiful scent on its own.
