Sheer Beauty, a perfume by Calvin Klein released in 2012, opens with Bellini, bergamot and red fruits, between peach, mandarin and strawberry. The heart blends peony, jasmine and lily, while musk, sandalwood and vanilla, all three warm, anchor the base.
Bellini, all peach and mandarin, sits alongside bergamot, sweet and fruity, and red fruits where strawberry and raspberry intermingle: the top thus brings together fruity tonalities across different registers, from orchard to undergrowth.
Peony, tender and rosy, accompanies jasmine, warm and wild, and lily, a soft white flower; three ways of expressing the flower, between tenderness, warmth and softness, share the heart.
Musk and sandalwood share a woody base, while vanilla joins the two in warmth: wood and warmth thus intersect among these three materials that anchor the base.
