Review of Stella Sheer Perfume for Women by Stella McCartney

I was curious to try her new scent, "Sheer", since I'd heard so many hype reviews of her classic "Stella" and it's considered a best-seller. Ok, so the conclusion is: I am totally in love. I usually am quite critical of perfumes in the past, but this scent epitomizes the quite perfect and unique balance between florals and citrus, and ultimately feminine and playful *without* smelling too immature, or cheap drugstore material. I think what also makes it so unique, is the fact that Stella uses harvested Persian roses from a mountain in the middle east. It's a rose scent for sure, but it's a very delicate and beautiful, unique-scented rose.

The first words that come to my mind, after smelling this on my skin: Fresh, feminine, Mediterranean blue, summer picnics, sea breeze, flowers. Imagine summertime under a canopy by the beach. Your love has brought you pink roses and the scent still lingers in the air. Sipping on sugary lemon and green apple teas. Your fresh cotton tunic catching the breeze and smelling of clean laundry. Just beautiful, youthful, feminine. This scent transforms beautifully. It starts off quite energetic, with citrus notes dancing, but then gradually settles into a softer floral amber (still with the citrus detectable-- lovely!).

I really love this scent. I recommend it especially for the summer.
