Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Beautiful Sheer opens with a crisp, dewy medley of magnolia, lily, and mimosa, brightened by a hint of juicy pear. A soft, clean rose heart blooms, underpinned by delicate green and woody nuances. It settles into a refined, subtly sweet floral with a remarkably fresh and airy quality. This scent evokes a feeling of lightness and natural beauty, an ode to springtime in full bloom.
