Pop Bluebell

I blind-bought this because I like the original Stella and the notes in this one intrigued me. Also, I'm not gonna lie, I loved the purple-hued ad and felt in need of a bit of escapism after 2021 didn't start with the change we all hoped it would. It smells quite different from everything I own and if I were to write down what it smells like to me, I would NEVER buy this perfume based on that description. :D It is - as many reviewers mentioned - quite plastic-y and sweet, but not fruity or gourmet sweet, more like synthetic sugar syrup kind of sweet. When people mentioned that it smells like the 2000s, I had no idea what they meant, but now when I put it on, it makes total sense. It has a very youthful, lipgloss and glitter vibe to it. However, there is a fresh, clean, gentle floral note that balances out the sweetness and keeps it from becoming a plastic doll head type of scent. Once it settles on me, it kind of smells like play-dough, soap, spring flowers and fresh blueberries all at once. And somehow it works. Couple of things to note though. Skin chemistry is everything. :D I think if your skin agrees more with warm scents, this might not work for you. "Cold" scents, white florals and green notes generally sit better on my skin and this develops beautifully. However, my sister tried this after falling in love with it from the bottle (and from smelling it on me) and after a while it turned quite sour on her. I think it's also because she smokes and this definitely does not agree with smoking. For reference, Armani Si unfolds on her skin like a dream (even when she smokes half a pack :D ) and on me, the most compliments I ever get is when I wear Issey Miyake l'Eau d'Issey. Longevity and sillage are moderate, it's still pretty okay compared to the disgrace of Stella 2014. Now you can buy this edp quite cheaply, so I don't mind reapplying it. But because it's not a convenient bottle to carry around, I can only really do that if I'm at home, which is a pity. And now we come to my one huge gripe with this product: the bottle is super pretty but the spray is a real a pain in the ass. I don't even understand how this cap was approved to begin with, this design is so obviously flawed... With all that aside, I think it's a very pretty escapist scent that actually does fit perfectly with the marketing campaign. So if you want that lilac POP feeling when you're stuck at home, give this a try!

I loved Stella back in 05, so thought I’d try this considering the line is obsolete. Picked it up for £12.99 for 50ml. Not a big projection, not long lasting on my particular skin, but a beautiful floral. I am not fantastic with picking out notes but it is easy to smell the bellflower in this as it is quite unusual and nothing I’ve really found in a perfume before. It reminds me of an English soap in a floral paper packet that you’d find in one of our uphill shops in Lincoln or an independent shop in York (those who have visited will know what i mean by this). It has a musky vibe to it and it isn’t too sweet or sickly, it’s just lovely. If you like KKW Fleur Fatale, Stella, or even W by Ted Baker, I can’t see you not enjoying this. So glad I got it for spring.

A floral freshie, green and purple smelling. Sandalwood is mild; its not another Santal 33 (no offense intended, it's just a profile that's been done to death) I love this and should reach for it more often. I think it would be office friendly. I don't like a lot of fresh scents (can be too musky or woody) but this is my style. A little herbal and sweetly floral.

I love this perfume! its a little deeper than the orginal pop but they smell little simelar, but the lasting power and sillage is better with this one. Love it!

Това е толкова красиво и трайно. Останах много приятно изненадана. Усещам мандарина и виолетка. Цветен, нежен,мек ,но присъствен!💓
