Princeless Princess

This right here is the BEST dupe for princess...EVER! I sprayed her 5 times, and let her sit for 4 months(through winter), spring hit and I popped this jewel out to be greeted with a fresh lemon, and light ginger, with a creamy/tea opening. Middle I was given, jasmine, green tea & Marshmallow. Then in dry down...Vanilla, light marshmallow, & a warm benzoin. You do pick up a little apple and peach(adding sweetness) but they are blended in so well, they are not leading roles here. She's lovely, it lasted 12hrs on my clothes, I was still getting compliments at 8pm when I applied around 7am. This projects nicely for about 4hrs, then sits close to skin rest of the time. You will stop smelling it, but those around you will still delight in your sillage of, Marshmallow, tea, fresh, goodness. Will keep rebuying this version instead b/c the OG just doesn't last or even project good at all unfortunately. For me there is slight differences b/c the concentration is more in this dupe, so of course it's not SPOT on but if Kilian increased their concentration I fully fill then this would be an exact dupe! And I perfer it with more concentration. This is an almost spot on dupe imho. And I like it more. This is a love for me!

I'm not sure how I feel about marshmallow as a note--it's just spun sugar and vanillin, right?--but Princeless Princess, and presumably its inspiration, the long-windedly named I Don't Need a Prince to Feel Like a Princess by Kilian, is a pretty easy reach. My husband said I smelled good, and he usually just says "bakery!" whenever I wear anything vanilla forward, whether it's Guerlain or Dua (or Dior or Chanel or any other house or brand). That suggests to me that other people (besides myself) can discern the jasmine. Sometimes this reminds me of Dior Addict; sometimes it reminds me of Devotion. It doesn't project much beyond one's personal scent bubble a few hours in, but I feel like it might leave a bit of a trail. The longevity is also decent; I hear that it's notso hotso for the Kilian. Update on the longevity: It is INSANE on fabric. I smelled a t-shirt from the laundry that had a little on the sleeve, and it was still throwing like mad five days later. I think people must go noseblind to it when they're wearing it because Princeless Princess doesn't play. I'm not even 100% certain the fragrance will come out in the wash, so it's a good thing I love it.

ps: To the reviewer saying there fragrances smelled musky etc...its very possible someone accidently bottled the wrong scent in your bottle. Happened to me with the Escapade gourmande dupe. My dupe smelt fresh, musky, ocean, and soap. Disgusting clean man scent. Messaged dua, tested the bottle after sending back, nd yep wrong scent was bottled. Fixed it right away. I would have emailed them directly to send back for testing. I'm sorry you experienced that tho. It's a rare happening but ppl do make mistakes.

One of my top 3 duas, and that’s saying a lot since I have more than 80. This beauty is so expertly blended, the ginger makes it bright whilst not being overbearing or spicy. The green tea note makes it fresh, cozy, and calming, whilst the marshmallow note rounds out the fragrance making it addicting. Even people around me who claim to hate and are sensitive to fragrances like it! It’s also way better than the og, imo.

I really like this perfume! It has a lot of the DNA of Kilian Princess. If you look at the fragrance notes, the base of Kilian Princess has marshmallow and vanilla while the Dua Priceless Princess has it in the opening notes and the dry down is more fruit and floral. I own both and love both. It’s not a 100% dupe, but they are sisters. I recommend owning both! Pleasantly surprised and glad to have it in my collection.
