Calvin Klein Sheer Beauty Essence is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Carlos Benaïm and Sophie Labbé. Sheer Beauty Essence opens with Pear Blossom and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Magnolia, Peony, and Lilac, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Vanilla. Calvin Klein's Sheer Beauty Essence carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a divisive floral. Some find a "cold beauty" in its unique, ethereal blend of rose and lilac, perfect for quiet contemplation. Others are overwhelmed by a prominent, sometimes synthetic, pear and rose, finding it a bit 'church-y' or even 'sad'. Try before you buy.

Its fresh, delicate floral nature with moderate sillage and surprising longevity makes it suitable for everyday wear, particularly in an office setting. However, its 'cold' and 'sad' associations mean it might not be the go-to for lively dates or formal events, though it excels as a subtle, clean casual scent.

About

Sheer Beauty Essence opens with a light, fresh burst of pear blossom and a hint of white peach, quickly settling into a vibrant floral heart. Turkish rose takes centre stage, softened by delicate lilac and the creamy sweetness of magnolia and peony. The dry-down is a clean, musky whisper with a touch of cedar and vanilla, maintaining a fresh and airy feel throughout.
