Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sheer Beauty EDT
Calvin Klein's Sheer Beauty might be called 'Sheer' for its fleeting nature as much as its delicate scent profile. A pleasant, unassuming fruity floral with a sparkling Bellini kick, it's a solid choice for those who prefer their fragrance to be a subtle whisper, though many wish it had more staying power.

Our Verdict - Intense Cherry EDP
Don't be fooled by the name - Montale's Intense Cherry is not what it says on the tin. If you're after a loud and proud cherry bomb, look elsewhere. This is a subtle, largely floral-musk scent with a fleeting hint of cherry, leaving many underwhelmed and wondering where the 'intense' went.

This perfume's soft sillage and short longevity make it perfect for close-quarter settings like the office or gym, where subtlety is key. Its fresh, clean, and fruity-floral accords are universally appealing for casual daytime wear, though its light nature might struggle to make an impact on a formal evening out or a romantic date.
