What does Sheer Beauty Essence smell like?

It opens with white peach and nashi pear blossom, giving a fruity freshness. The heart builds a floral garden from magnolia, lilac, peony and Turkish rose, softened by aquatic and powdery touches. Cedar, musk and vanilla ground it in a woody base with a light sweetness.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and feels easy to wear. Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily wear and the office leading the occasions. It reads mostly feminine, with modern and classic sides too. Its profile is close to Halston Sheer and Jeanne Lanvin Couture.
