Sheer Veil

The snowy white lily is the main star in this elegant and beautiful white floral perfume. Sheer Veil is perfect in its pure cool shades of white and pale blue. There is nothing out of place in this carefully arranged bouquet. But though Sheer Veil is ultra feminine and attractive, there is a cool aura about this scent that makes it distant and formal for me. It is almost like its pure beauty is to be admired but not touched. I love it but yet it is not a scent I will cuddle with but I will wear it when I want to feel special and distinguished. As soon as the scent opens I am surrounded by a crispy white lily. I have a great affection for lily scents, which could be interpreted as cool and crisp or sweet and heady. Sheer Veil brings forward the cool and crisp personality of a lily. I love how the lavender adds gentle aromatic layer and gardenia gives a nice accent to the floral bouquet. It is interesting that unlike other scents, Sheer Veil remains floral all the way through into the dry down and in the dry down. Just pure and sheer floral bouquet that keeps on going and going as the lasting power is quite good. Overall score is 7.5/10. The main focus of Vera Wang line is on the wedding dresses and I do think that Sheer Veil could be used as a wedding scent with its pure elegance of a crisp and cool white floral. It is one of my favorite crisp and clear lily perfumes.

When I first spray this perfume it smells SOOOO good. I just can't stop sniffing and sniffing in the air around me. It's the only perfume that I have ever really loved on first sniff. It still wears well on the skin hours later though. I get rose and lavender and some violet as well. It's like a flower garden after a fresh spring rain has come through. This smells exactly like what you would expect a beautiful wedding bouqet to smell like as well, which is why it would be great for a bride (wish it had been around when I got married). The bottle is very pretty and the nice lavender color of the actual perfume make a nice addition to my collection. Perfect for summer or spring because of the beautiful floral bouquet that exudes from it. Could be worn to the office without offending anyone I think and even nice for a romantic evening. This is a girly-girl fragrance, ultra feminine. My husband, who rarely comments on perfume, always says I smell good with this one on.

Lily and Violet. Two notes that basically lingers from the beginning to the dry down. While some people do not really understand why I have so many fragrances in my closet, i'd say, fragrance is like clothes and make up. Fragrances help me to project who I am. Or maybe, who I am - today :) This fragrance is the one I'd pick if I want to appear, innocent and lovable. Sheer Veil is pretty without being "there". The sillage is calm, but it's still noticeable. Lasts considerably long for such a subtle scent! Sheer Veil is delicate. I've got compliments while wearing the fragrance - both men and women - and they all say, "you smell gorgeously pretty". A loved one said, "this scent reminds me of the time when I first fell for you". Enough said, I think? ;)

LOVE IT! Very clean without being soapy. Truly, a sheer veil of assorted florals which didn't induce a headache (sometimes white florals can do that for me). If perfumes have colors, this would be pink or clear for me, not the lavender color it is. That color always makes me think of violets, and I don't find them here even though they are listed. Perhaps I am thinking of the loud violet present in Daisy. But this is a very classy, close-to-the-skin scent that will leave you sniffing your arm randomly throughout the day. And who beside me has been caught doing that? The quirks of being a fume-head!

I really love this. It was a blind buy based on the reviews here - thanks fragranticians! I normally find that floral scents can turn rather rank, like flowers that have been left in the vase for far too long. This doesn't do that at all. It stays light, clean and fragrant from the minute it goes on to the minute it fades away and my only grouch is that it fades within a few hours. I think thats me though - very few perfumes seem to stick around for the long haul. I like this much more than the original and I always want to have a bottle of this around. Plus, the bottle is gorgeous.
