I like Stella McCartney. She always puts out original, cutting edge products, but hangs right there on always-wearable, which equals happily-wearable. Plus, with her environmental slant on everything, her products deserve to be pushed. Stella was really the first top designer to forge the way into making fashion and beauty eco-conscious-smart. Now, not being a big heavy-perfume fan, I was pleased to try the Stella McCartney Stella Sheer Limited Perfume
, because, frankly, heavy scents might be too much, but no scents are simply dull. Stella Sheer is a great scent for someone who wants to smell lovely and unique. Also, most scents change on me. What might smell like Ralph Lauren on someone else, ends up smelling like Raid when it comes within a foot of my skin. The reviews I’ve read have said Stella Sheer smells like roses. I don’t smell that. The marketing material says it has notes of lemon, green apple, rose and amber. I don’t smell those things, either. But I do smell something. Something fresh, light, non-soapy, not really floral—something just right. If you’ve fallen in love with Issey Miyake or the lighter Kenzo fragrances, then Stella Sheer is another nice take on that type of scent that doesn’t do the elevator-linger.
