just a sweet fruity perfume, nothing sophisticated. i realize why this is a great first fragrance for many girls. this is the first time i'm spraying it on my skin so i need to try it out a few more times. I own over 50 bottles of perfume, many of them niche or high end, and yet my 100ml bottle of Princess is already half empty. That says something. She's sweet, but not cloying, thanks to a generous underpinning of aquatic notes. Be warned though, the chocolate might not come through on you. It definitely doesn't on me. Instead, I get pleasant, but generic honeydew-and-vanilla kind of sweetness.

Perceived notes: hints of apple, delicate water lily, sweet apricot, tropical guava, rich chocolate, creamy tuberose, warm vanilla, amber, refreshing bergamot, and delicate orchid petals. This is a very elegant, soft, feminine, and beautiful scent. It smells like what you would imagine a princess would smell like if you were younger. My mother used to wear this in 2006 and gave it to me when I was a teenager. It makes me very nostalgic. I even have an extra bottle sealed in the box for when it runs out.This truly smells lovely!!! It was what I hoped I would get from Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely one.. for some reason that one smells too old on me.. but this one... Yumm! It might just make it to my signature since it's so cheap and has been out forever so hopefully it's not going anywhere. I don't get enough guava from this. There are hints of slightly green, camphorous or mentholated middle notes which blend in perfectly with the juicy berries. Middle: Again very cloying and generic yet fresh and a little hint of chocolate, the white florals are still present yet with the dry down they seem to fade. I found this scent in a Macy's a while ago, with no previous knowledge of it. After using over half of the bottle, I have to say I do truly enjoy this scent! It's a pretty standard musky, fruity scent that's not TOO juvenile, but still not very mature. It has decent longevity, I can get through about 5-6 hours of classes and work and still smell it on me, especially on textiles.

I'm embarrassed to admit how many bottles of this I've got through over the years. In fact, I still have two unopened bottles in my wardrobe. Whenever I see it on sale I have to buy it. This perfume was given to me on my birthday, some years ago and it was a fully guaranteed compliment-getter. Seriously, everywhere I went there would always be someone who complimented me on the smell...and here's the deal, when I was asked what I was wearing I felt somewhat sheepish saying 'Princess' because it sounds quite childish and also because the bottle looks marginally immature. However, the bottle has grown on me and I quite enjoy it now. The pretty purple liquid in the crystal-looking heart-shaped bottle is just quintessentially feminine and quite fairy-tale-like, and although the lid is fiddly and often gets lost, even that has grown on me. I bought this perfume at a discounted price and I would suggest doing the same because this isn’t a safe blind buy!!! Second time i am sniffing it and now i love it! My only mistake was the first time i sniffed this i did that right after smelling Illicit by Jimmy Choo, which was super loooove at first smell! So it made Princess smell like meh side by side. They both came at the mail at the same time. Edit: it is so different on paper than on skin! On my skin it opens unpleasantly fruity like a cheap body spray but after a couple of hours it transforms into the cozy musky, woody chocolatey vanilla mix that I loved on paper. How would they describe it as fresh and warm at the same time? Maybe because it is not too sweet and not overwhelming for a gourmand. Very beautiful fragrance. I enjoy it most in the afternoon after lunchtime, as a cozy stay at home scent, not a night out flanker. Silage: It doesn’t project that far so this would be perfect for an office scent. Could also be used as a date night scent since it’s so romantic.The opening is hard to describe. Sometimes it's the floral water lily other times it's a clean sweet apple and mandarin orange. The moment I spray this onto my skin, its gone. I sprayed it years ago & disliked it, sprayed it the other day & disliked it. When I had my first bottle, it was one of my first ever 'true' perfumes which I bought when I got my first professional job. I was 22 and I finished it entirely. I have very fond memories of it, of how pretty it made me feel and how I was complimented for it. It held all day even during the 11-hour workdays I had at that time. That stunning bottle, that affordable price! What's not to love. This is a modern grandma smell. Upon initial spray I smell nothing but rubbing alcohol and flowers. Then after it dries down I smell chocolate and vanilla with a hint of floral.

Vera Wang | Princess for Women Eau de Toilette 100ml - Boots

It seemed to last a decent bit of time and it could roughly be smelled within an arms length of myself. I guess it's obvious that I'm really enjoying this perfume. Which just goes to show you that you can never judge a book, er...perfume by her cover. The magic that comes out of that gaudy, purple sapphire of a bottle smells like powdery vanilla frosting, dark chocolate, tropical fruits and delicate watery florals. I sincerely believe any age can wear this year round perfume (in casual settings naturally) and deserves to! You're never too old to be a princess! I do not care for this as much as I used to. I would never wear this to work again like I used to. As I think it is one that could potentially be a headache-inducing type of scent. It is not a very heavy scent but there is definitely some body to it. I mostly smell light florals, a bit of fruitiness, but more of floral, vanilla, amber, and woodsy notes of the dry down overall. Much later, when it is wearing off, is when I get hints of the chocolate. I was a teen of the 00s. I remember very clearly when this fragrance got popular. I went to a school where perfume was discouraged, but still, I remember clearly those rules being broken as we got further into high school. So many friends and classmates wore this, and it was slightly different on every person. Though being teens, nuance wasn't a thing–they oversprayed this like crazy! Vera Wang Princess is a very sweet, sharp and gourmand, intense fragrance. It blends notes that wouldn't normally go together–bubblegum tuberose, buttery tiare, piquant, juicy apple, tart, tropical guava, chocolate and vanilla. It was super sweet and on my teeny-bopper classmates, overpowering. Got this for the bottle design. It's so pretty and the crown is metal and it has a ring part to it that you can wear! I would have loved this as a teen. I had never smelled it before but I am going to assume if it existed before 2016 / 2017 then it's likely been reformulated. It used to contain Lyral and Lilial.

If you use this behind the ears and on the wrist, the perfume sillage lingers for quite some time. A good 5 hours for sure. If you spray heavy you'll definitely retain the scents lingering dry-down for day or night. The bottle looks so pretty for display, the weight feels really nice in your hand (3.4oz). I can say that I don't get much of the chocolate notes much, if at all; it's definitely overpowered by the apricot and orange top notes, and the woodsy vanilla base. The scent overall is a bit generic and inoffensive, it's good for daily wear if you like fruity musks on a budget. I think this is more of an evening scent or for when you have things to do around the house, taking care of the kids, visiting with family, or going out shopping. It performs more like an eau de toilette, but that is not to say that the performance is poor. It lasts decently well for around 3-4h and projects mildly.

To me the strongest note is water lily. There's definitely an aquatic floral touch here. I also get something I've come to associate with a "freesia" note even though it's not listed. There's definitely a sweetness and a fruitiness, but it's so well macerated that one single sweet note (chocolate, vanilla, guava) doesn't jump out. Opening: In the opening I get a burst of generic cheap apple, tuberose and white floral opening. I’m not a fan of the opening because it is very cloying and I get sort of a warm spicy element until it dries down.

Something about this perfume brings my mind to a very specific childhood memory involving a box of Princess Lillifee cake-mix!! The heart is composed of exotic guava, Tiare flower, tuberose, with a touch of dark chocolate. The base brings powdery traces of vanilla, amber and wood. On the hunt I was for a bargain priced Princess (hopefully in gift set form) to add to my ever growing collection. You can never have too many oriental gourmands, right? Finally I found the set I was looking for, it came with a 1.7 oz/50 ml EDT and 2.5 oz lotion and shower exfolliant gel. Oh how sweetly divine this scent is layered, very long lasting (8 hrs), silage heavy (oh yes, there's silage) sweet, vanilla, chocolate-y indulgence. Now the image that comes to mind when I think of Princess is a large pastel pink vanilla butter cream flavored cake with rich, dark chocolate shavings sprinkled on top. And of course the dessert is complimented with a side of guava flavored sherbet. I got a rollerball of this perfume for my eighth birthday, and have loved it ever since. It is soft, delicate, and beautiful, on top of being very nostalgic. I can't say it smells very sophisticated, or has any kind of niche leanings, but I still think that it is an excellent addition to any collection. It's a watery floral, sweetened by light fruity notes and a chocolatey base. It's casual but effortlessly feminine and I can see this working all year round. Even in high heat, the fruity notes keeps the sweetness effervescent, rather than suffocating. SEASONS: Winter, spring, fall, colder days, daytime, nighttime, and climate-controlled environments.
