The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2005, Sheer Veil by Vera Wang is a Floral fragrance that captures the essence of delicate femininity and modern elegance. The composition opens with a bright white floral accord, seamlessly blending into notes of lavender and violet, creating a soft, powdery heart. This is further enhanced by subtle rose and a hint of spicy warmth, all anchored by an animalic base that adds depth and complexity.
Apply Sheer Veil lightly for a subtle yet lasting effect. The powdery heart notes bloom after an hour, so waiting before reapplying allows them to shine through without overpowering the delicate top notes.
