Flower Princess

This perfume deserves way more love and attention. But I guess that's good for me that it doesn't, because it means the likelihood of someone else wearing the same perfume is low ;) I suppose the fact that it's no longer sold or made in the U.S. contributes to its minimal recognition, which is a shame really because it's suuuch a lovely scent. And really, lovely is the perfect word to describe it. If *only* it was a tad bit stronger and had better staying power, it would be the perfect fragrance imo. No other perfume I've tried makes me feel as feminine and just...pretty wearing it. The name is spot on really, as you feel exactly like a ~flower princess~ with it on, as cheesy as that sounds. I like how it's fresh and not too heady while not being too masculine/neutral. It's super feminine and soft, and I imagine anyone else wearing it would be a dream to hug lol. It's not overly sweet either, which you'll find with a lot of fruity-floral fragrances aimed at the younger crowd. It's more floral than fruity, but without the bitterness or in-your-face quality I find with a lot of other florals. I am obsessed. I slightly want to horde a stash of these before they stop making them forever (God forbid), but #collegelyfe says otherwise. I'm 21 and have loved this since it came out in '06, so I'm guessing an older crowd looking into perfumes probably wouldn't have the same opinion-- probably too light and insubstantial. But for me right now, this is one of my favorite--if not my favorite--scents still. I really wish it wasn't limited edition, but at least it's still sold on the magical wonderland that is the internet.

This was one of three Vera Wang perfumes that I blind bought for fun because they were a great price. This was the one I was most excited about, because I love floral and amber perfumes. Flower Princess is a fresh white floral scent. When I first sprayed it, I immediately liked it. I wasn't wowed by it, but it was nice. It was very strong white floral, and I wasn't getting much else. I've been wearing it for a couple hours now, and I have to say that I really like it a lot. The dry down is so pretty! Once the floral notes calm down a bit, the musk and amber come through, along with apricot. It gives it a very nice warmth to balance things out. One thing I will say is that the sillage is not great on this. I sprayed a few sprays on my wrists, and it faded pretty quickly. I had to reapply, and sprayed the insides of my elbows and my neck as well. I need at least 8 sprays to be able to actually smell like I'm wearing perfume, lol. Flower Princess isnt exactly unique, but it is very pretty. It does remind me of a couple BBW scents, like Wild Honeysuckle and Lily & Green Tea. However, Wild Honeysuckle is more earthy and pungent. I would say FP is closer to Lily & Green Tea, it has the same light green freshness. They both have lily, although different types, and amber. The ivy and the tea lend similar green notes as well. So all in all, a successful blind buy and I'm happy to add this to my collection!

I love PRINCESS. I remember the first time I wore this beautiful perfume portraying Cinderella on Disney Cruise Lines about a year ago this month. I have also worn it as Princess Aurora Sleeping Beauty. It suits the Disney Princess costumes and I could see myself wearing this as Snow White, Ariel or Elsa from Frozen. This is a very soft powdery little perfume. The design of the bottle is adorable in the shape of a heart adorned with a crown. The fragrance I can describe as being fruity, floral, amber woodsy. I don't think this has any musk. My mother who is in her 60's wears a lot of musky perfumes and this is so not a musk. I can smell the apricot, the tangerine and something orange, not entirely citric, probably the pairing of mimosa and orange blossom. This is a perfume with little power it's a soft scent and probably lasted about 2 hours but I wasn't keeping track of time. It's sold as an adult fragrance but the design of the bottle and the scent itself is really youthful, like it's actually a perfume a mom AND her under-18 daughter can both wear. This is a dreamy delicate perfume that I have loved for a long time. I recommend this perfume for women who are young at heart and who want to feel like the princess she knows she is.

I blind bought this one because I already have the original Princess, wanted to try a new floral fragrance and this was reasonably priced so no big deal if I didn't like it and the bottle is cute. When it arrived I sprayed a bit on my wrists and at first I didn't like it, I though it smelled like fabric softener, somewhat like the new Ocean Dream which I absolutely hated. However, to give it another chance and make up my mind, after taking a shower I liberally sprayed all over my body and hair, like about 15-20 sprays and got dressed. The flower scent filled up the room beautifully, I felt like I had stuffed my nose in a fresh bunch of lilies, could also identify a little musk, amber, rose and something fresh citrus-y. I got compliments on this when out and about and after 12+ hours can still smell the lovely floral notes on my clothes. Officially my favorite fragrance now.

At first, I’m going to be honest I didn’t really like it; it reminded me of fresh scented baby wipes. After a while though, it really grew on me. It smells like a sweet candied floral on my skin (no specific flowers however) this may be a rebuy, but I’d usually want something with stronger silage, which this one lacks. Longevity: 6/10 Lasts quite enough for me, but not what I would want Smell: 8/10 Smells amazing after a while- at first a little off-putting, but the more you smell it the better it gets. Sillage: 3/10 I can smell it in the aroma around me, but unless its really windy and they’re pretty close to me- nobody is gonna smell it. It smells like a sweeter version of my favorite body mist (Aqua Kiss by VS- probably sweeter florals and the fruit) it’s watery while being sweet and fresh.
