Summer orchard
Due to the name I had expected a lighter and softer version of HALSTON but it is altogether a wholly different perfume that would have deserved a name of its own. What then about the HALSTON line and the bottle form? One would have had to think about that...
HALSTON SHEER doesn't have many notes and it is not a complicated perfume. Last year in the hot July summer I could smell mostly pear and apple blossom and for a long time. The same goes today on that rainy and crisp late Summer day, more like Autumn actually. In my opinion the pear note is not that of a European kind, but like the Japanese nashi pear which is very juicy and watery sweet when ripe. Nashi pear is very refreshing when cooled and the pear note hear smells like this, at least for me. I also could smell the lilac today, it is strong but doesn't push the other notes into the back.
Today I also noticed sandalwood and musk, I couldn't in sub-tropical weather with over 30 degrees last year. Even after 12 hours I still get a small whiff of fruity sandalwood when I stick my nose to my arm, but only then.
HALSTON SHEER is a good Summer perfume, reminding of a walk in an orchard, not too sweet and very versatile. Possibly it is even for people who normally don't favour fruity flowery perfumes.
