gone but not forgotten
oh, how I miss this! It is hard to describe,but is super green and unisex.I am female and wore it daily in the early 90s.the only thing that is similar now is Calyx,which isnt as good as the original calyx.i would buy on ebay,but can tell by juice color it has turned.if you find an unopened bottle,try it.

Unique, Unusual
It has been a long time since I was persuaded by Douglas to try this scent. Back then, I found it too harsh, masculine, and extravagant for me and
gifted the futuristic, round bottle along with its contents. The recipient was extremely happy to stand out from the crowd.
A few weeks ago, I remembered Sheer Scent and embarked on a fruitless search. It's a pity that one often only appreciates the value in hindsight.

Fahrenheit pour Femme
Sheer Scent by U II never really managed to establish itself in the German market. The fragrance was probably too unisex for its time.

Sheer Scent had a strong resemblance to Dior's Fahrenheit, but with a slightly more floral and subdued interpretation. The longevity and intensity could not compete with F.

The bottle design was rather sober. A round bottle with bumps on a black rubber ring and a black textured cap. The liquid was almost neon green-yellow, which created a nice contrast to the black.

In the USA, the fragrance was available for quite a while longer, and I had a bottle brought over from there.

Sheer Scent, rest in peace.

It was a great scent, it's still on my mind. It was really different from what I had smelled before and long after...

I miss it, it was great. On one hand fresh, on the other hand woody and warm. Exciting and unusual. Fahrenheit in niche, even though not niche.

Fahrenheit is fresh and clear, for me without its nerve factor. I remember it as unisex-friendly...
