Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sheer Beauty Eau de Parfum
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 - Lost Summers Eau de Parfum
This one's a bit of a letdown. While the idea of a fresh fruity-floral is spot on for summer, the delivery seems to miss the mark. Don't expect it to stick around - it’s gone quicker than your enthusiasm for a mis-sold holiday.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sheer Beauty Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

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.

Lost Summers Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Given the poor longevity reported and its fresh, light floral profile, this scent is best suited for casual, fleeting moments or a quick refresh during sport. It's too understated and short-lived for formal settings or a date, and even for the office, its quick disappearance makes it a bit pointless.
