Description
Calvin Klein launches a new edition of Beauty fragrance from 2010 named Sheer Beauty. The original evokes timeless beauty and elegance, while the new edition turns to young women and emphasizes naturalness, self-confidence and charm.
The composition is floral – fruity, opening with notes of bergamot, red berries and peach Bellini. The perfume’s core includes flowers of peony, pink lily and jasmine. The base is velvety due to accords of sandalwood, musk and vanilla blossom.
The bottle is designed as its predecessor, refreshed with pearly shades of blush color. The face of the fragrance is model Daphne Groeneveld. It is available from January 2012 as 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.
DaferyLypegep – :
Nice perfume. Sweet yet fresh at the beginning( projection is strong only for the first hour), then turns into a light creamy-floral skin scent. Not a masterpiece, but definitely very nice and pleasant. Suitable for the day/ spring and summer.
Najo – :
Sorry, but to me this is a plain boring scent plus it has zero silage and longevity. It opens with extremely strong bergamot on my skin and the musc makes things worse. After 10 mins it becomes more wearable with the bellini and peony and just when I start enjoying those two – bam, it’s all gone. This one goes for swap.
Старый-1981 – :
A very light fresh scent that will not drag you down as the sun grows hotter. Blasting lovely red berries and bellini it lingers on your skin for hours, blending well with your wardrobe which could be easily either casual or business. One for a woman on the go.
The dry down is a clean powder that sets into the skin six hours after first spray. It still smells clean on my wrist and I tested it this afternoon in the department store, went home, washed my hands and dishes and clothes!
I believe women of all ages can wear this one. It is not suggestive or overtly sexy, not a fragrance with an assertive ego of itself. It blends into whatever you want to make of it. Won’t be buying this one due to the cost but hey, if you own it and love it power to you!

I was so very lucky to find a 1.7 ounce bottle of this amazingly beautiful fragrance on ebay for under $15 USD. It was a blind buy, but based on the notes, as well as the reviews here, I figured there was a very good chance that it would be a successful blind buy. I had no idea what an amazingly BEAUTIFUL fragrance this truly is! On my skin, from the very first spritz, I am bombarded with what seems to be the largest, most beautiful, overwhelmingly fragrant bouquet of flowers I can imagine. I’m not able to discern which flowers are in the mix, and I’m not able to smell any non-flower notes that are listed – not even the vanilla, which I usually always notice first when it is part of a fragrance’s composition. This glorious perfume makes me feel like I am surrounded by this perfect, delicious, fresh, soft bouquet, like a bride on her wedding day. For me, this is the best of the best of a fresh flower scent that surrounds me and protects me from the world while I bask in the rapturous scent. I am truly in love! Highly recommended to anyone who loves flowers-only fragrances. My only complaint is the longevity. Within two hours of spraying, this fades to a skin scent, sadly. Not too sad, though, since it is available online at a great price, I just bought another, larger bottle, so I can spray it on every two hours if need be! I truly intend to keep this beauty at the front of my perfume collection for the rest of my days. 10/10 for this incredible fragrance. It is such a beautiful flower cocktail that I’m wondering if this is what heaven smells like!

I blind bought this scent because of the comparisons to RL Glamourous which I miss very much, but unfortunately this is nothing like it. Not sure where the Luscious Pink comparisons are coming from either. This is far less sweet and musky.
On my skin I I get fresh and gentle floral opening which eventually dries down to a scent very similar to Contradiction except it’s more airy.
Overall a very easy to wear scent that goes well with any occasion and any weather.
ilqar – :
Very pretty opening/beginning but seems to become very powdery after a short time. The powder element rarely works with my skin and can be headache inducing for me. After about an hour, I intensely disliked the powder and decided to return it.
llkdms45 – :
I really like CK Beauty so I had high hopes for Sheer Beauty, but unfortunately it didn’t work for me. The first few seconds were lovely (creamy and slightly fruity) but it soon dried down to something synthetic-smelling and cloying. I can smell the base of Beauty but the top notes of Sheer Beauty just don’t work on my skin. Sheer Beauty has a note in it that reminds me of Scotch tape, of all things! I had the same issue with Burberry Body Tender and I gave that away because of it.
nicolai7000 – :
Is so so similar to Ralph Lauren Blue and Pitanga Amarella de Natura. Ozonic and sweet air … Clean and ligh blue summer sky
artempiter – :
The first 15 seconds after spray that’s the best part I like. Within 5 mins the first thought was Glamorous by Ralph Lauren it’s now been 1/2 hour it still reminds of Glamrous but now I’m not for sure-for sure, it’s been a long while since I’ve smelt Glamorous. However, I am pretty darn sure with in the 1/2 it was Glamorous. Which was a fragrance I liked
zzzkkkjjjqqq – :
Got this tested today and it really smells lovely and creamy. The only problem is this is too quiet and meek. Sits really close to skin, no one will notice you’re wearing a perfume! Not even you! Unless you sink your nose where you sprayed this on.
Reminded me of Burberry The Beat.
What a waste really.
nws357speagoessenda – :
Not sure the hate this seems to be getting. I can see how it smells a little synthetic and a little ‘manufactured’ smelling. However, for me, it is soft and light, fresh. Kind of airy. Yes, this does have a slight “manufactured” scent about it.. But it also is just a great ‘fume if you want something casual and laid back. Something about this makes me think of a single well-adjusted woman in her 30’s, living in a large city in a modern condo…Funny how scents can make you ‘think’ of something..
Anyway…. I can’t really say I like this, but I do not dislike this, either. It is easily found at a very affordable price, so if you want something casual and light, this might be worth a look. Maybe not the most “natural” smelling of ‘fumes, but if you are on a budget and want something light and airy, this might be worth checking out. Yes, there is a slight ‘manufactured’ or synthetic vibe about this, as pretty much all CK frag’s (sorry Calvin!!) do imo, but it it not a terrible fragrance.
sld_1 – :
Got a 100ml bottle on sale at a fragrance outlet. Soon grew bored of it but still managed to make my way through the bottle. As I work in a large organisation, I use to gravitate towards perfumes that wouldn’t make my colleagues feel like they had to hold their breath. Now I don’t care lol. It is definitely as noted, a ‘fruity floral’, and a very wearable one at that. However, I would soon stop smelling it literally after spraying so I was never sure if I was spraying too much. That being said, I would get compliments on it even though it was no longer detectable to myself. Not a memorable scent so definitely not one to repurchase or yearn for after trying it, in my opinion.
crazybee – :
Don’t know why I find it to be really spicy! And the bellini is so synthetic. Hate it really, not even a mere like.
Sonicmain – :
I sampled this today and omg. Scrubber for sure. Screetchy and cheap. CK needs to let this one retire. Gone are the deep and multi-leveled days of Obsession and Eternity, welcome the top note non-variable impatient generation of new. I weep for the future of fragrance.
sphinx – :
Mariah Carey should sue…. They mirrored the hell out of luscious pinks pyramid
rajadr – :
I really adored the scent of this fragrance for day wear, so I think it’s both good and bad that I bought 50ml on impulse, because it just wouldn’t last on my skin. I bought Sheer Beauty when it first came out and I would’ve repurchased if it’d lasted longer. The middle and base notes are usually a success with my skin chemistry. The vanilla didn’t really come out and in Spring I didn’t want that either so I was fine with that and Sheer Beauty was mainly a soft, fresh floral and not sweet on me.
Kamilya – :
Sheer Beauty is very lovely. It’s fresh and not sharp. Peach bellini is very dominant from the first spray until the drydown plus some nice flowery smell. I sense some hint of citrus, maybe bergamot. Actually, I didn’t expect much from CK since they always launch new scent every years. Sheer Beauty is an exception. It reminds me of classic flowery smell from 90’s, not outdated just beautiful for every woman.
chaman1979 – :
Smells like a stale bottle of Moscato! Perhaps the bottle I purchased was old (?) but I don’t get much white floral vibe from it at all. All I get is a strong alcohol smell, and an over-ripened fruit smell. Agreeing with the “Rexona antiperspirant” comment! Staying power is non existent. Very forgettable. Much prefer Calvin Klein ‘Beauty’…it’s 100% better! This one is just very weak. Zzzzzz!
boislaxia – :
super delicious perfume! so fresh
fata-sot-lo – :
I am pleasantly surprised with this scent, its not something I would usually go for im a gourmand lover but my mum gave me this so thought I would give it a go as first sniff didn’t offend me. Wearing it is lovely it has a playful sophistication about it which I enjoy, usually any perfume with musk in it, the musk will be screaming on my skin and in this it doesn’t, I enjoy the Bellini and jasmine and lime that plays together the lime cuts through the floral but just enough so that either of the notes don’t give me a sore head so all in all this works with my skin chemistry really well it is a nice happy and playful but sophisticated scent.
Street treiser – :
I agree with MegKaybeee. It is all I want from Chanel Chance eau tendre and it is much more beautiful on my skin. With Chanel Chance, I can’t take the smell more than 10 minutes and it gives me a headache. I sprayed only once at the store and I can’t stop smelling my wrists again and again even though I can smell it now and then. Also reminds me of Dior J’adore maybe due to how it develops on my skin. It is weird because I think Chance and J’adore are totally different! 😀
cps159speagoessenda – :
I really like the salty fresh, slightly citrus start of this. Almost like Provocative Woman. The drydown is more floral.
Update: I find the drydown to be a sharp, sweet floral that takes me back to the 90’s with Contradiction, if my memory holds.
darganVK – :
I tried this at a drugstore today. It smelled just awful on my skin. I could not figure out the top note, the smell was very strong of some sort of spice. I found it quite different from the original Beauty. A few hours later, the smell is completely gone. And that is quite a good thing.
Adallevally – :
I am a fan of this fragrance. When you spray it you get citrus and all of the other notes come by straight after. It is not fun or flirty, but it just smells nice. It has character.
You have to reapply often though.
sergi – :
Smells like one of the Rexona antiperspirants.
It’s OK but nothing interesting. The bergamot is quite prominent and it has a slight unisex vibe.
Probably something to wear to the beach because it’s light and refreshing or to choose as a gift for someone who is not particularly into perfumes as it’s pretty standard and easily likeable.
stahniv – :
My current work perfume. I love how elegant it smells. Also its just the right amount of sexy. Perfect for any season day or night. Lasts around 2 hours on me after which I need to reapply. Whatever you do though, do not team this with a sweet body lotion. I did (Victoria Secret Pear Glace)and the result was diastrous. Dont know what I was thinking.
GambiTVIP – :
it smells expensive and elegant, a bit sharp but still soft..hard to explain. it smells bitter and sour, but very sheer…i think its perfect for a fancy restaurant-date or something, since it smells so elegant. but its very uum boring, but if you want to smell expensive this is a scent for you!
fraderik – :
A perfume that you put on yourself and, an hour later, you remember the good old times when it was still on your skin. Signal toothpaste has better longevity than this one.
And this girl on the add freaks me out!
I like this one better than the original Beauty, actually, but I’m not impressed. The sweetness is ok even for a lover of fresh perfumes. The trouble is that the most refreshing scents soon evaporate and you’re left with sweet, cocktailly, almost fake smelling fragrance far from CK’s masterpieces. The sillage and longevity are its biggest weaknesses.
I just can’t seem to get to that peony…I want it,I try to find it, I concentrate real hard…but, jasmine just kills it. And then everything disappears.
xBERLINx – :
I just have a small sample vial of this one. However I do really like the bottle – it reminds me of a spring raindrop.
I also do like the perfume itself – I tend to dig clean, simple scents, which I associate with Calvin Klein. On my skin, I get a fresh (verging on soapy), sweet-but-not-too-sweet white floral with bergamot and what is probably the peach bellini (a sparkling fruity smell).
However, I find the sillage is very soft and unfortunately it is not long lasting on my skin, perhaps 1-2 hours. I can imagine this would be perfect for people who like very subtle, clean scents.
posterVIP1281 – :
I tried this one at a mall yesterday and I couldn’t resist sniffing my arm for a very long time. About longevity, I think it easily lasted for 4-5 hours or more on my wrist.
It is indeed “Sheer Beauty” . I will be gifting myself this heavenly scent very soon .
indiana111 – :
It’s soft and very feminine. It fades too quickly for such a pleasant smell. Is it really “almost a full copy of Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche” as antonpan said? I like it. I think this is a lovely perfume while it lasted.
sameautheday – :
I love the smell but it so soft and the smell is gone after one hour
Actually I am disappointed when I tried CK perfumes and this perfume increased that feeling
Ebach – :
This is Dahlia Noir by Gevinchy, just less sweet & more fresh !!!
volvo2006 – :
What a disappointment on this fragrance!… The first 5 minutes were so promissing that I thought this could be the perfect fragrance for me. Very soft lovely floral, elegant and romantic. Just perfect! The problem was, after 15 minutes it was almost gone and half an hour later there wasn’t even a trace of it. It was like it never existed.
I do like soft, subtle scents, but wearing Sheer Beauty or nothing it’s pretty much the same thing. I think this fragrance is obscenely expensive for the time it lasts, and according to other reviewers it seems that I’m not the only one. I’ve worn supermarket colognes that lasted longer. Perhaps an EDP worked better…
Other than that, the brief moments that it lasts, it’s a lovely soft and elegant floral, innocent and inoffensive and suitable for all ages that can be worn anytime and anywhere.
Edit: I received this as a gift and I have to update my review to be just with Sheer Beauty… The 1st time I tried it was in a particularly hot day. Some notes are rapidly absorbed by our skin when it’s too cold while others (especially flowers) fade too quicky when it’s too hot- this is exactly what happened that day.
This is a scent for spring, early summer, early fall, a fresh summer night, a warmer day in late winter. It can’t be too hot or too cold, otherwise it won’t last. In the right temperatures (16º-22ºC) Sheer Beauty lasts around 5 to 6 hours. It wouldn’t hurt if it lasted a little longer, but still much better than 15 or 30 minutes…:D
Other than that, my opinon about SB is still the same. A lovely and delicate modern floral that makes me feel girly, innocent, classy and sexy, all at the same time. Love it!
izvesten – :
This perfume is just perfect- floral fresh, juicy and slightly naughty (I mean the presence of the Bellini). The opening reminds me Chanel Chance eau fraiche. The drydown is warm and sensual without being vulgar. The bottle is gorgeous- thick, solid, rosy glass. The shape makes me think about the shapes of women. A pure, clean design. A wonderful simplicity which reflects well this scent. The only minus- the staying power is quite weak on me.
It’s like a young,beautiful bride -light, dreamy, innocent and blushing, but with some very hot and naughty fantasies she would like to fulfill.
In the morning she’s getting married, in the afternoon she’s celebrating, dancing and enjoying the life, but in the night she is showing all her love and fantasies to her beloved.
Destiny_fromAD – :
This perfume is kind of okayish. I was more impressed by the original Beauty which was a masterpiece in my opinion but this one is totally wearable too. Fruity, fresh and not overpowering.
alekssamurai – :
I really loved the top notes of Sheer Beauty and thought I had found something amazing. They were right up my alley, fruity and fresh and the Bellini smelled gorgeous! Sadly that joy ride only lasted about 15 seconds… then things started going terribly wrong. The dry down turns completely weird on me. Can’t quite explain it. Sour almost? In any case, not pleasant. Disappointed.
CriptsFi – :
My daughter who is 13 yrs. old was the first one to compliment me on this fragrance. She wanted me to save some for her…when she grows up.. :-). I love it too,a subtle fragrance that does not intrude into people around you but relaxes them n makes them smile with you. Very happy indeed.
kgoradm – :
Very delicate fragrance, floral, subtle, so great choice for spring & summer. Personally I prefer sweeter and a bit more powerful scents, but for someone who prefers not sweet and very classical ones, Sheer Beauty could be perfect. Also, this fragrance is very appropriate for work or school, cause it won’t bother anyone, even most dreadful boss or teacher:)
Arslan89 – :
This perfume somewhat reminds me of Chanel Chance Eau Tendre for its cuteness of the scent(and the bottle). Somehow I would choose this Sheer Beauty over the Chance ET for how it is more complex, and has more depth. The longer I wear, the better the scent turns to. This is my holy grail of all time.
facken – :
Nice perfume,fresh, simple but evaporate fast.
Stroyka – :
Fresh, clean, transparent, feminine, elegant. I like “soapy” perfumes. Much better than “Beauty”.
lla321speagoessenda – :
Come on people: Vaporizes fast?! I can smell it hours and hours later. Very musky and musk has a tendency to linger hours on my skin (and to my nose). Similar to Chanel Chance eau tendre?!
Never would have imagined those two connected. I have both, Can’t see any similarities except the color of the liquid.
If you can’t smell a perfume on yourself, it doesn’t mean that others don’t smell you.
Also, there is an old saying: If you can’t smell the perfume you’re wearing, it means it’s the right perfume for you!
gaskerceelelf – :
The first thing which came into my mind when I tested Sheer Beauty was : ” If this is a perfume, I am the Queen of Sheba ” 🙂
Well , I like intense perfumes which have a personality , tell you a story …that is … I like perfume ! I guess this is exactly the kind of perfume that Sheer Beauty lovers could hate .
This Sheer Nonsense is so light and turns into nothing within a very short time : it is one of the numerous expensive colored waters just served into a nice bottle .
Well , it is not an obligation to wear perfume . If perfumery is going to ask ( steal ) money for very bad quality , I am no buyer .
I enjoyed the comment below mine and also the very first one of this page .
faicifisylymn – :
being in love wiz long lasting fragrances .. IT DOES NOT DESERVE paying your money .. as Senzadite said .. nothing but ethanol pour femme .
after i got it on my hand .. i can hardly recognize its smell .. actually its my hand smell
Serega_188 – :
I like this perfume. Sheer indeed. Fresh, soft, a bit sweet, musky drydown. It’s like having your personal moment, doing what u like the most. You feel confident & beautiful, independent & elegant. The longevity is good too. It will represent beautiful, independent & elegant woman.
xDima – :
Due to the reviews saying that it smells masculine, my mindset smells masculine as for room temperature. Then one evening i decided to go fr a jog with my lil nephew. No idea what to wear, i sprayed 2 sprits on my t shirt and while jogging i smelt a very comforting scent. Im in love! Then during the night my sis fetched me in front of my house. I wore this frag and my 2nd bro mentioned “nice smell. What car perfume u bought i want it fr my car as well”. And actually it was SHEER BEAUTY 🙂
gotta grab the full size soon after dkny pure n burberry body!
frost4959 – :
Sheer Beauty is a very pretty, feminine and delicate fragrance that blends softly with the skin as if wearing an exclusive beautifully scented body lotion. It is pleasantly balanced between fruity and floral, sweet and fresh, and over all very well blended. Unfortunately it fades away too quickly.
slon02 – :
The first time I tried Sheer Beauty earlier this winter I found it a bit too citrusy on my skin, and the sharp opening notes kind of cheap smelling. But then I received a small sample of it a few weeks ago and on the second try fell completely in love! I still find it a little sharp the first few minutes after I put it on, but after that, ohhh…so lovely. It’s a soft, creamy, melts-with-the-skin scent on me. The peony note is the most apparent one to my nose.
Unfortunately, like many others have said, the lasting power is not very good on this one. Otherwise it would be close to perfect.
berbusari29 – :
Just too citrusy on my skin, almost bitter. Perhaps falling in love with Lubin’s Gin Fizz just before trying this spoilt me.
sakostya – :
I think this is the best of CK.
sabezka – :
Fresh, young, elegant, a spring-summer perfume. Good for everyday wear, office and free time as well.
It’s not unforgettable but if you like new fragrances, you may give it a try.
sicoo – :
at 1st try during hot afternoon..the smell is almost non existent. too soft. 2nd test in an air cond. room…reminds me of some Victoria’s Secret (Gorgeous etc) and the drydown is similar with Oriflame Sparkle in Paris. it’s non outstanding.
dramadol – :
I never appreciated this fragrance until today. My bottle sat on my desk untouched for months because I didn’t like it much. The smell was flat. It was a blind buy. I kept it for a lazy non-event day such as today so it won’t go to waste; and got surprised by how pleasant it smelled. The sweet medley of fruits and flowers; mild but there. I gave it a shake before I sprayed.
Lanselot – :
A fresh fragrance. I detect a nice mix of flowers, some sweetness hiding behind that freshness(maybe vanilla?) and, sadly, the sharpness of something sour and sinthetic in the background which I just can’t stand, as it spoils the whole experience for me. Shame: for ten minutes I thought I might like it.
Sofiy – :
Smells suprisingly masculine or unisex to me as its such a feminine bottle, colour, name etc
holem77 – :
This one is far too aquatic for me. I smell cucumber and watermelon in the topnotes, and the heart is mainly peach with a hint of white flowers. All very watery and light. Sheer and fresh, sure, but equally unoriginal and forgettable.
Санькаа – :
I’m in love. The scent is so delicate and alluring. Sweet but not overpowering. Fresh but not citrusy. I would make it my signature scent but its lasting power is terrible. Gone within an hour or so.
dragoni4657 – :
I love this perfume. It is elegant and graceful – there is a touch of masculinity to it, almost like a refined and feminine CK One. Just the right amount of sweetness (not too much). It doesn’t last hours on end, but I bought a rollerball and cannot stop applying it through the day. Makes me feel like Grace Kelly in the summertime. Gorgeous.
wwwvega – :
The original Beauty was a nice scent, real interesting, Sheer doesn’t come close, it is diluted, a pink scent , it isn’t anything special. I don’t really like it, I gave it to my mom who likes it. If you like delicate sheer florals this is an option, or for a young girl ‘ s first perfume, for me I just can’t smell it , it isn’t making a statement at all. Unfortunately boring.
shurancher – :
I’m not a CK fan, but I liked this one.
Moderate sillage and, in my skin, it lasted quite a bit.
I live in a tropical country, so, for me, it’s not a summer sent.
It was a pleasant surprise for me.
carev5555 – :
Very light scent ,i like it but can’t smell it after 1-2 hours.
qwerty131 – :
I already used this perfume a few times, and I like it, but after like… 2 hours I didn’t smell it anymore.
This scent is perfect for girls and women. Very good!
cyd099bedyWelty – :
i’ve got this for my second anniversary. my husband think this fragrance is very seductive and perfect for our sexy time. in my opinion, husband like it then spray it on. however this fragrance remind me of charlie white from revlon but this one is more on the softer side. if you want a cheaper version you should get charlie but if you want a better longevity you should get this one.
tunight – :
Does anyone know of any stores that carry this? I am finding it hard to locate in shops to sample it. I like the original Beauty and I am very eager to try this.
WRW – :
A light and beautiful fragrance! I’ve tried it only few time wit a little sample I had and each time I couldn’t smell it after only few hours. I was wondering if its because it suits me so well or it’s simply weak…?
ivashka – :
very commercial, nothing special
gmail – :
Sheer Beauty by Calvin Klein may be severely lacking in originality but that doesn’t make it any less pretty. This simplistic and fresh floral blend is perfect for Summer and compliments almost every skin type.
Although I prefer the original Beauty, this sheer flanker has many likable qualities. For starters, it’s inoffensive, so women that aren’t fans of anything too ‘perfumey’ are sure to love this. Another positive aspect is its fresh and clean approach. To my nose it smells like an expensive floral shampoo.
Sheer Beauty is not a fragrance that will blow you over backwards, but it is very pleasant and wearable. Both my friend and I enjoyed this fragrance when we smelt it together a few days ago, so it has both of our ticks of approval.
The bottle for Sheer Beauty is really quite girly and fun. I would proudly display this bottle on my dresser.
The main notes according to my nose are as follows; fresh jasmine, green, zesty bergamot, musk, sandalwood and a subtle hint of red berries. I unfortunately couldn’t detect the peach bellini accord on my skin.
If I had a bottle of Sheer Beauty, I honestly don’t think I’d wear it very often. I’d save the bottle for Summer, but would probably forget about it when the weather is most appropriate. I would recommend that you buy it only if you truly love it and know that you’ll wear it often.
sasharaspopin – :
Blind buy that I regret. I thought I’d like it because the votes on here say it smells like Rumeur Rose 2. There is a vague similarity but this one has a bitterness to it. Something like sour berries. Completely disappears at record speed.
kostyaa1965 – :
when i wear it i always get compliments for my perfume…i’ve been told i smell like summer…
nyanbi – :
when I smell this I always think of fresh morning breeze and a woman wearing nothing but men´s white shirt with way too long sleeves – looking absolutelly fabulous and feminine..
relizer – :
Very fresh, soft fragrance yet very feminine. Never thought I’d feel so attached to this. Love it now. This is the kind of fragrance that you give the personality to it and make it special to yourself.
ivan11021994 – :
A lovely light, fresh skin scent that’s great for casual and professional wear and particularly good in hot weather. The notes I notice the most are bergamot (top note), peony, lily and musk (middle notes) and more musk, vanilla and sandalwood (base notes). It’s a very dry and clean perfume, not sweet at all, and the base notes give it a bit of sensuality. Lasts for about 3 hours on me before it starts to fade but it has a habit of appearing to fade and then reappearing with subtle wafts of musk and vanilla. I usually respray after 3-4 hours which isn’t too bad for an eau de toilette and it’s fairly inexpensive for a high end perfume so I don’t mind reapplying.
Wilgelm666 – :
woww!soo unique so beauthiful,so delicate i want
oliv – :
I like it because it´s so light and fruity on me. Suitable for women but for girls too. Just one problem is longevity. Nothing. Maybe 5 minutes. I know that some frags from CK have poor longevity..
If it had longer staying power I would buy it.
Give it a try. Maybe it could stay longer on you.
🙂
super_06.09.1986 – :
This smells fresh, like a toned down version av Mariah Carey’s luscious pink, just fresher. But its not like the first beauty:(
Xeroxrpqsz – :
I’m currently looking for a light scent for summer. I asked for suggestions and the beauty counselor at the store made me try this. On the paper, it wasn’t so bad so tried it on my wrist. After a while, I tried smelling it but couldn’t quite detect the smell so asked her to spray once more. Five minutes later, as I smelled it, it just intoxiated me! Very harsh chemical like! As I looked for the notes, later on, it surprised me ‘cos it’s apparently fruity which are often sweet. This was far from it!
illyurii – :
It’s so generic, lacking of personality, easy to forget, comming from a big fashion powerhouse that I am now quite more respectful to shampoo, air fresheners, machine washers soap’s fragances.
And soon will be reviewing them in a blog like this one.
pbwp85 – :
Light, fresh, well blended skin scent, perfect for spring and summer. Yes it’s a bit boring but it’s also very pretty, as is the bottle and the colour. Less sweet and fruity then you would expect from the notes. This reminds me of Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh without the raspberry/pear/litchi notes (and the juvenile bottle top). My new summer scent!
EDIT: Also reminds me of YSL Young Sexy Lovely.
norkTrown – :
Tried the other day on wrist .thought it was lovely ,soft floral with a refreshing fruitiness .Took a second spray and went on my way …the dry down become very sharp synthetic and annoying !Shame because it had promise at the start .
lionross – :
Pretty but weak, quickly gone. A lot like Beauty of CK. Not a favourite.
Trevlig men svag doft, bleknar bort fort. Liknar Beauty CK ganska mycket. Ingen av mina favoriter.
мурашков – :
Like Chance Eau fraiche this is very generic. Pretty, but nothing new or unusual, just no distinctive personality.
Nafan – :
I guess CK were aiming at a Chance Eau Fraiche type fragrance that would please everyone – any age, any fashion, any weather…anyone else find this one a little Zzzzzzzz?
Instead of being universally appealing (like ChanceEF) I find SB a bit middle-of-the-road, banal, bland….dare I say it, down-right-dull.
This does not mean that Sheer Beauty is unpleasant in any way – it really isn’t. SB is nice & safe & as pleasant as a clean & fruity shampoo, a £1 body spray, a spring-flowers room deoderiser….but who is going to part with good money for that? Not me.
To break it down: I can easily detect that generic CK lemon-butter-biscuit base (found in CKin2U et all) with a thin, watery-red-berry note & an all too familiar sharp-floral with a touch of jasmine. A high-pitched, cleaned-to-a-bleach-white synthy musk whines like tinnitus from first spritz to dry-down. There is a strong alcohol finish to this scent – not far off a cologne – with a sour, wilted stems edge. Add a shot of some aspartame-filled bitter citrus drink & you just about have it.
