Pop

Okay - took me way too long to get to Sephora and try this one out... Overall, I think this is nothing to get in a tizzy over. Kinda weird that this seems to have gotten such negative feedback simply because of its "youthful" approach. Flowerbomb, anyone? Daisy Eau So Fresh? Sheesh, let's move on already. There is no degenerate class of perfume lovers. We love what we love. End of story. It immediately wears soft and fruity, but it's tart-fruity (mandarin)! Not sure about the tomato leaf, as it's never been a note in any of my other fragrances but I'm sure it added something I just couldn't quite detect. One of the first associations I got with this was gummi candy, mostly the tart and fruity combination. It's not a syrupy sweet, but it felt candy-like to me, which I am totally about so it didn't ~offend~ me or make me feel like I was being marketed to as though I had no taste. This is a very happy, fun scent and certainly made well! After the green mandarin, it stays sunny and becomes a bit more floral - frangipani and tiny hints of tuberose come forward. The tuberose is not a massive, buttery mess -- I've had a few bad encounters with tuberose that induce a sort of nauseating effect but this was not in your face or over the top tuberose. Sandalwood and musk were more prominent than the cedar or violet to my nose but it definitely is a well rounded, simple scent. It had this sort of soft buzz underlying from start to finish.. invigorating without being sharp. Longevity feels moderate, depending on how much you spray. For me about 5 hours with one spritz on my hands and wrists. Don't expect this to be the holy grail of perfumery or some profound experience. Walk in without expecting the world and you might enjoy the experience Pop has to offer. She's bright, sunny and doesn't take itself too seriously. As many other respectable simple scents do, too! Bought a bottle after wearing for about an hour and realizing it's the perfect counter to some of my more serious scents. You know, for the days I'd rather not take life so seriously ;)

The first smell of this was intense for a number of reasons! Firstly, I came for the tomato note as I love tomato perfumes, then I read the reviews saying the scent is fresh and light..... even green. I was surprised therefore by how pungent this perfume actually is! It was like being punched in the face by sweet Violets. I can’t find anything green or light about this, it’s strong and sweet and a little bit powdery. It gave me serious flashbacks to a perfume I had in the early 90s. I’m so annoyed that I can’t remember exactly what it was! It would have been Coty, body shop or Avon back then as I was 13 and on a tight budget! Not tribe.... Don’t think it was exclamation, wild musk or far away.... Ananya?! It’s still driving my 40 year old brain mad! I keep sniffing it and being transported back to the box room at my parents house and getting off with my first boyfriend (who had curtains and an undercut lol!) while listening to Nirvana! I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Stella deliberately recreated a long lost scent that she loved in her early 20s because although I’ve seen loads of young ladies claim this is a super original scent and like nothing else, I honestly think this is the smell of the early 90s! A lot of perfumes back then share the same vibe. If any fellow middle agers recognise what this smells like please comment! I want to smell the bluebell version now, in the hope it’s a bit fresher and greener than this one, because although I’m digging Stella pop, I think it’s probably too syrupy for me to actually wear. Edit.... I grew to love Stella Pop but didn’t like the bluebell version!

Pop is a very fresh, pleasant , sweet , shampoo smell to me. I absolutely adore it , to the point where I could not wait and ordered it from the Stella site where I ended up paying double , as I had to pay duty and the exchange rate to Canadian $ isn't pretty. Anyways it's worth it to me ! It right from the start reminded me of boss nuit in the tall black bottle. I looked and it has many notes in common. The more I smell Pop I can really smell the two components that it's meant to smell like , the tuberose and the sandalwood. In a very light , fresh and fluffy , airy sweet way those two get enhanced by peachy , frangipani , fruity , & violet very fresh and uplifting notes. I could spray my whole body with this and then some ! The more I spray it the more I smell the sandalwood ! Big love for me. But my sample came to an end , thanks genny17. , now I have to wait for my very expensive bottle ! It's been over a week that I had Pop and I love the smell , it's so easy to wear and likeable. The only drawback is that it doesn't last. It's very fleeting and in this 1 -1/2 weeks i am a quarter done my bitter already. It's not an evening scent or a statement fragrance. It's a daytime fragrance that just smells really good ! Bottle will be empty in no time !

I was intrigued to try this after seeing it frequently linked to Barbie dolls in various forums and reviews. It presents as an airy, pleasant, and inoffensive sweet floral skin scent, but doesn’t quite capture the essence of a Barbie doll in my opinion. The Barbies I played with in the early 2000s didn’t have such a floraly scent, and Pop lacks any noticeable plastic smell. Instead it brings to mind the subtle fragrance that lingers when flipping through a magazine with perfume samples tucked between the pages, more of a delicate blend of glossy paper, a hint of department store perfume, and ink (?? maybe ?? idk, it really does smell like a Vogue magazine!) It’s super enjoyable but nothing about this wows me, sort of lacks personality and doesn’t have any distinctive or memorable qualities. Not worth $40 in my opinion. I got a 5ml mini splash on eBay for $5, I like it a lot! Edit: It’s been 8 months since my initial review, and I’m sure that I love this. It’s basic, but kind of perfect in a nostalgic way. Pop... I’m so sorry girl, I take back what I said. You’re a star. Sadly discontinued :((( which I didn’t know initially, but there are still FBs floating around on some of those hole in the wall fragrance websites and on eBay.

Definitely my favourite tuberose perfume and I suspect it's the violet that just mixes so perfectly with it!. Almost invisible at first but blooms on the skin. I think it kind of struggles in high heat. On me it seems to work best in cool-warm weather rather than cold or hot, so it's a perfect transitional scent for going from Summer to Autumn or Spring to Summer. I'm wearing it today and it smells perfect! I can smell every note but not too much of any and it's not too sharp or sweet (I sadly find Pop Bluebell a bit sharp!). What's interesting to me is that I used the spray bottle this morning but have the rollerball pen with me to top up and it is noticeably stronger and sweeter than either of my spray bottles! If you can find a Rollerball - even thought they're a bit annoying to use - you might find a bit thicker and sweeter version of Pop! Magical Scent! It shares some similarities and vibes to some 90's / 2000's classics, so I'd recommend Lacoste Touch of Pink if you want a more syrupy sweet version, Hugo Boss Hugo Woman if you want a more grown up vibe or Elizabeth Taylor Forever Elizabeth for a powdery apple with a similar violet dry down. If you like something sharper then Pop Bluebell would be perfect.

Tuberose is one of those notes that I've always WANTED to love, but usually don't because it's super strong and can be overpowering in anything it's added to. I was curious to smell this fragrance and went to my local Sephora to get a sample. I have to say it's truly gorgeous! The Tuberose is blended to perfection and the other notes compliment it perfectly so it never gets too intense. It's a 'fruity-floral' which is usually the kiss of death because it's a genre that's very overdone - however, this one is unique and stands out from the pack. And I have tried a crazy amount of this variety! ;) Many people say this is a young or teenage scent, but I wouldn't say that's true. It feels appropriate for any age range in my opinion because it's bright and fresh, yet a little deep with just enough note complexity to keep it interesting and has a nice level of sophistication. I think anyone from a young lady to an older lady could wear this and it would suit them just fine! My only complaint is that I do wish the longevity was better, it wears more like an EDT than an EDP and it would be great if it cost a little less.

I've had this perfume for a couple of years, a big 100ml bottle, that I had just barely used. I've started wearing it again and I've gone from thinking it's nice to absolutely craving this scent. I can definitely smell the tomato leaf, which is complimented by a very subtle mandarin. It doesn't really smell citrusy, just juicy and sweet. The tomato leaf is also more noticeable in warm weather I've noticed. I've heard people compare this fragrance to Barbie Dolls due to a nostalgic 90's plastic vibe, which I imagine is the tuberose (which can have a slight synthetic sweetness to it) and violet (which is slightly powdery and reminiscent of cosmetics). I personally smell the Frangipani more which is fresh, sweet and almost tropical fruity at certain angles. It's just a shame that the longevity isn't brilliant and the sillage is very close to the skin. The bottle also has an absolutely terrible atomiser pump, it comes out as one thick stream rather than a spray! Causes so much waste. Overall it's a really light and airy perfume with sweet floral, fruity and slightly powdery nuances.

Based on the reviews, I'm pleasantly surprised by this little perfume! I got it pretty cheap on Mercari. The opening has a very fun and flirty, fruity, sweet scent that I'm digging. It kind of reminds me of the scent of some shampoo I used to have in the 90s - I can't put my finger on it, though! I don't really want to call this "youthful" because it doesn't necessarily seem too "young" for certain women (I'm 30+ for reference) - it just seems like it's fitting for a warm spring day. I was confused by the Barbie comments...until the drydown. Then, yeah, Barbie - but I kind of dug that. So hey, more 90s! Anywho, this had moderate lasting power but the projection was oddly strong on me. I see it's not on most, but I was in the literal ocean today and people could smell it on me. THE. OCEAN. Final verdict - you can find this gem for so cheap now, and it's such a generally innocent, pretty scent that I think it's worth the buy if you're thinking of it.

I remember being struck by the advertising for Pop when it originally came out, with Grimes and a pink Cadillac in the middle of a desert. I wasn't as into fragrances then as I am now, so I didn't seek out a bottle despite my intrigue. Fast forward to now, and I'm much more into fragrance (if still somewhat an amateur), and I got wind of Pop being talked about as a perfume that smells like Barbie dolls. I checked the notes, saw tuberose, and bought a bottle straight away. Unfortunately, Pop does not smell like Barbie dolls to me, but it does smell familiar to something from my younger years. Maybe a fragrance my mom used to wear, or even a fragrance I had that I've since forgotten? It's a very pretty musky tuberose, and I will be wearing this scent a lot. However, I'll still be searching for a more plasticky, true Barbie doll scent.

I am a big Stella McCartney fan. I recently bought this and Bluebell Pop for a fairly good price and new in sealed boxes. I didn’t pay much attention to the notes in either one because I just thought they’re novelty for me. I sprayed this perfume on my cardigan and it smells so good. Later, the same day, I received Bluebell. Reviews state they are very similar but I sprayed that also on the same cardigan and 8+ hours later they are going strong. The crazy thing is- I LOVE them both. My husband really likes them as well. I always make him smell my arm in my constant changing of new perfumes. I see why some people would complain about the sprayer and mine stayed depressed after I sprayed it but I flicked the side of the cap and it popped back up. I can see myself buying this over and over.

Bought it blind, I was worried about the tuberose and the woodsy notes, I didn't need to be This smells great, I love the smell , top notes are fresh then it gets floral quite fast but the tuberose is young and fresh mixing in nicely with a soft woodsy undertone. I love the smell!! It is modern yet manages to smell high class!! Generic it isn't at all. A mix of classy and fresh,, a hint of natural sweetness, I get an undertone of violets in the heart too!! My only issue is the projection !! A bit frustrated as I have sprayed it three times already , but I get delightful whiffs of it here and there!! Still I will just get a bigger bottle I am delighted with Pop!! Nice scent!! Update: bought a bigger bottle, the scent is plainly addictive !!

This is the most unusual perfume in my collection, but in a very good way. I was always going to love the bottle, the cap is pink and shiny, two characteristics that always turn my head. Judging by the notes, I was expecting something floral, a little bit green. What I actually got, was the smell of the Barbie dolls I played with as a child, in a pleasant and pleasing way! I fell in love......... then something even stranger happened...... the plastic smell turned into this tropical cocktail smell! Given that the notes definitely didn't scream 'tropical' to me, I was quite surprised! If you like make up like smells, you'll like this. It's a good spring daytime scent!

Tomato leaf is the leading role here. Sometimes when I wear this, it smells super unique and wonderful. Other times, it reminds me of how my mom's purse used to smell. Which is not a bad thing and is something I’m currently chasing after in 2026. This fragrance is blended nicely. It's very contemporary. It's 'cool' for lack of a better word. It's young but it doesn't smell like a generic girl at the mall. It has a slight edge or attitude. I'm on my second bottle, though if I'm being honest, I'm not sure why I repurchased. It's nothing remarkable. This lasts all day on me and the dry down is very sweet. It loses it's edge after about 4 hours

I'm not sure what went on here, but the first time I smelled POP in stores I completely loved it! I got a POP mini as a point reward from sephora and was very eager to wear it. Wearing it though, I feel like I have rubbed myself all over with a magazine floral perfume strips like I did 10 years ago when I was a teen. It's a strangely nostalgic and generic smell, but not that wonderful to me. I think I got a ton of RL romance and vera wang lovestruck perfume strips around that time. It's odd I swear I can smell paper and glue in here like those magazine pages. A little trippy for me, but I can't say I'd buy this once I use up my mini.

This is a soft floral girlie frag all the way. A shy girl's fragrance, but a grown woman could pull this off too. There's a little fruity vibe in the opening but it doesn't last long (I do think the tomato leaf lingers and gives it that "pop" if you will). PLEASANT is what comes to mind when I spray this. Nothing spectacular or particularly original in scent but it smells so, well pleasant, I'm glad I got a full bottle for the low! I find the Sillage to be pretty intimate but I remember a coworker complimenting this scent twice so somebody will smell ya! Something I'd grab before running errands or a nice chill bike ride.

I am positive I've left a review here for this fragrance but I felt that I owe it a more updated explanation of why I love this fragrance. First, the tomato leaf and violet leaf come through strong right off the bat, leaving a lovely green but a bit powdery trail. As it heats up to the skin, the beautiful Tuberose comes to play and she isn't shy. She's not the star of the show, but more of a very integral part to this composition as a whole. This is a floral fragrance with a bit of an aquatic feel, it's airy, green, fluffy, bright, and perfect for anyone who loves a beautiful long lasting floral.

A lady with candy colored hair is wearing a vinyl applique jacket and drinking a strawberry basil Italian soda while driving one-handed in a vintage convertible. The music blasting is electronica. She embraces pastels, pop culture and current trends but never forgets who is in the driver's seat (of the car she restores and maintains herself). A lot of people read this as youthful and indeed it is, but with a modern vibe! It's fun and bright with an interesting synthetic zing. That violet leaf keeps it sweet and innocent while the tomato leaf gives it a playful edge.

Stella McCartney POP is a good one if you like girly scents. I definitely get that "plastic doll" smell and I'm not mad about it. I enjoy this scent so much, it's just so pleasant to my senses. I've learned that I am a big fan of "floral woody" fragrances. Very happy that the projection is nice for such an inexpensive perfume. Unfortunately, though, the spray sucks on this fragrance, but it's still worth the cheap price. I know this is a fragrance that I will actually use up one day despite my large collection.

Ooof- I love this perfume. I struggle to describe it- but I think it had me at violets & tuberose. It smells like nonsynthetic sugar & watery notes- and almost a lily-of-the-valley heart note. It reminds me of my mother’s scent when I was young... and it also reminds me of the pink, 90s scents that came with Barbie dolls. Lovely & nostalgic. Silage & longevity are good on my skin. A 7/10. Because this one is absolutely beautiful, but not a showstopper.

I had a water baby growing up, and this definitely smells like her. This is a very light scent that only last around 2 hours or so. Pleasant but not a love. EDIT: After playing with this for a month, it has turned to a love. This is such a pleasant, easy to wear fragrance! The lasting power isn’t as bad on me as it appears to be on some. This is worth getting a backup as it is discontinued.
