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.

I got married at the courthouse. It was my second marriage so we didn't make a big deal out of it. If there was one thing I could have changed though, I would have found sheer veil before the wedding. To me, it's such a light, bright, sweet blend of white florals that seem almost wispy. I could imagine the delicate scents floating around me, embracing me. It would have been pefect. So, if you're getting married it's one to consider. It might have to be re-applied once during the day during a make-up touch-up or something, but that should be all. <3

Sheer Veil is a very fresh and pure fragrance. A bouquet of fresh flowers that descends into a beautiful powdery finish. If you love the purity of floral aromas, this one is for you. Perfect for very hot Australian summers and the lasting power is quite good too. I have put a tiny dab on my wrist and it has lasted about 6-7 hours. Firstly, vintage roses and a hint of lavender, then I smell the gardenia, violet and lily. Vintage roses and subtle lavender are the stars here.

I absolutely love this fragrance especially the dry down it is fresh and clean smelling, but I feel that someone is always sneezing around me :-( As a high school teacher, I am around many students, and in each class someone starts sneezing on the days I wear this perfume. I love it though, so, I am going to say that it is due to the dusty old building lol

Vera Wang Sheer Veil is radiant and feminine. The sophisticated champagne rose is clean, crisp, and green. Soft violet for a light powdery scent with blossoming florals of fresh gardenia and white lily. The perfect wedding day fragrance!

This was my Wedding day fragrance and everytime I smell it now it just takes me back.... A long-lasting, grown up floral without the sickly-sweet fruit that some bring in.

GORGEOUS white floral perfume, probably my favorite floral perfume. Creamy, floral fresh, sexy, chic and elegant. Long lasting. FTW!

What an amazing perfume!!! I just bought it today and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

a romantic scent i must say, suitable for the evenings. love it!

While many perfumes create visions of loud, overstyled and polished women in sexy dresses this one creates the vision a natural beauty, looking good in T-Shirt and jeans though perfectly breathtaking in an evening gown. That kind of natural beauty would smell like Sheer Veil, a very natural smelling fragrance lightly overseen but nontheless adorable. Light but lasting it clings to the skin and caresses with airy wafts of the most gorgious lavender accompanied by veils of mellow rose and dewy violet. It is subtle and kind of simple which makes its beauty standing out to me out of all the loud fragrances. This one works out any day, with a casual outfit when working in the garden or on a special night with evening gown. It appears young to me, though any woman could wear it, aslong she's somehow natural looking you know. A lot of men like that fragrance, I guess because it's really natural smelling like you've been a lot out of doors in a garden where roses, lavender and gardenia bloom still sparkling with morning dew.

I'm probably going to date myself with this review, but here it goes anyway. There is something about this scent that takes me back to girlhood, when I would visit Laura Ashley retail stores with my mother. I was entranced by the beautiful, romantic, and often floral printed dresses. The stores always had a floral scent to the air, maybe a Laura Ashley perfume (?), like an English bouquet of flowers still fresh with dew on the petals. Sheer Veil reminds me of these visits. The opening is a soft rose tempered by a hint of lavender. I get the violet and lily as well. For a fragrance that is all beautiful flowers, it has a surprising depth to it. I adore that everything is light, not one note stands out more than the rest. What this fragrance achieves is the combined scent of a fresh bouquet of flowers, and that in itself is quite beautiful. This has become of favorite of mine as well as my boyfriend's.

There are days when it doesn't matter what you want yourself, days when a perfume chooses you!This is similar to Sheer Beauty Essence by Calvin Klein. This, to my nose is a bit more on the cheerful side. It will keep you company at work and stay next to you and keep it's mouth shut! A good little puff of shadow. You will be happy the whole day with a perfume you can trust. This is what I had to wear today. It begged and pleaded and I know it'll behave just the way I want all day long. It will smile at faces I must greet this evening, and let me be the one to shine. I'm glad it sorta nudged me! Begging perfumes can be annoying...sometimes. When I return home this evening, I just may need....(HOW did one poster phrase it?) Oh yes, of course! I just may need a lil' bitch. (and hope she/he does laundry!) =)

Bought it blind with 70% off discount and I have checked the production date as soon as the package arrived which appears to be April 2013. I don't know if it's about the date or it is supposed to be like that but my perfume has really bad sillage and longevity, it smells soooo weak even if I lift my wrist to my nose for a sniff and also it doesn't last longer than 1.5 hours on my skin which is really disappointing. For the scent itself it's absolutely lovely, I am not a big fan of lavender but this is what I'll be gladly wearing all summer long. It smells pure and weightless. Unfortunately it seems like I got the bad batch so hmmm I'll see what I can do about it.

I underestimated this perfume when I first was sampling some of Vera Wang's perfumes. I ended up buying the original (orange liquid) and do like it, but like this more. This scent has a creaminess to it that I love even more than the original. The original has more of a sharpness to it from the mandarin and lotus flower while this scent wafts about me with its creamy white flowers, I feel its aura around me even after a few hours. It doesn't turn too powdery from the violets either which is a plus. It retains the smell of its initial floral accord throughout the drydown. The lavender mixed with the gardenia is gorgeous.

I like the heavy weight and thickness of the glass. It just seems so much more elegant to me. The color is appropriate and beautiful. There is no inappropriate season for this. The gardenia isn't harsh along with the other notes. In one word, I'd have to say this scent is graceful, so carry your head high with a smile in your eyes. Glad to have this in my collection. As much as I like this though, it's not worth the full price one can pay. If you find this at a great discount, JUMP on it!

Fresh opening of rain soaked violets begins this quiet grace purple lavender invigorates the senses; white lily with a diluted spiciness dries the heart of the perfume Gardenia must has to be the shyest flower of this scent it's hard to detect like a elusive secret. Simplicity is the most beautiful art this modest scent may not be the first to be noticed in a crowd but it has it's own beauty an minimalistic elegance that says less is more.
