NicezzzzzzzZzZZZZZZ
I guess CK were aiming at a Chance Eau Fraiche type fragrance that would please everyone - any age, any fashion, any weather...anyone else find this one a little Zzzzzzzz?
Instead of being universally appealing (like ChanceEF) I find SB a bit middle-of-the-road, banal, bland....dare I say it, down-right-dull.
This does not mean that Sheer Beauty is unpleasant in any way - it really isn't. SB is nice & safe & as pleasant as a clean & fruity shampoo, a £1 body spray, a spring-flowers room deoderiser....but who is going to part with good money for that? Not me.
To break it down: I can easily detect that generic CK lemon-butter-biscuit base (found in CKin2U et all) with a thin, watery-red-berry note & an all too familiar sharp-floral with a touch of jasmine. A high-pitched, cleaned-to-a-bleach-white synthy musk whines like tinnitus from first spritz to dry-down. There is a strong alcohol finish to this scent - not far off a cologne - with a sour, wilted stems edge. Add a shot of some aspartame-filled bitter citrus drink & you just about have it.
Lasts a few hours with a tame projection & not much development - lasts gasps are of a sour, washing-powder musk.
So who will buy it? Those who need a clean, unobtrusive scent for work....perhaps. Chanel-worshipers .......possibly. People who are a little confused by scent & enjoy the safety of the body-spray.......Zzzzzzzz. Sorry, I just lost interest.
