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.

I was quite into this Flower Princess at the first sniff, its floral note really attracted me. That made it standout comparing with a double of "sweet notes" I was testing at the same time. I have used about 15ml out of my 50ml bottle, but now... I just find it not that special, pherhaps because it's not that intoxicatingly changeful: the top note, middle note and the base note are almost the same to me. It's classified as "Floral Fruity" on this webpage, though I can't tell any fruity note from the entire life of this fragrance. I'm a little disappointed, for I thought I had found my signature scent, but I'm wrong. I'm repositioning it from "Love" to simply "Like". ---------Update: Green Tea + Jasmine, good enough for summer. (07/14/2010)

Floral bouquet noticeable in a way that feels like a fresh shower on a warm spring morning. Slightly soapy at first, but then developing into a warm, sweet floral. The sweetness is not overbearing, but it's there. I initially received this as a gift sometime circa 2009 after wearing regular Princess for a while, and made Flower Princess my spring/summer fragrance and Princess the fall/winter go-to. However, I enjoy Flower Princess immensely and like to wear it year-round. It's like having a touch of spring with you every day. I love it and get compliments when I wear it.

It smells clean. It smells like shampoo in the best way possible. The white flower smell is strong at first especially water lily. As it dries down it becomes sweeter and more citrusy. The lasting power is very moderate. I sprayed this on me after a shower and I feel like I smelt clean even after I was dry. It’s worth the price considering it was less than 30$ CAD. It’s a very fresh floral in my opinion

I really like this Vera Wang scent because it's floral. The bottle is just like almost all the other Vera Wang perfumes with the heart and crown lid. I love the beginning and ending notes of tangerine and ivy green notes in the beginning and base of amber and peach. I recommend this to all Vera Wang lovers out there.

This has got to be my favorite spring perfume! It’s such a beautiful youthful (but not too young) sweet floral fragrance. The water lily is quite prominent as is the jasmine. The dry down is like a soft citrus fragrance that’s still noticeable after several hours. I probably got 6-8 hours of longevity out of this.

It smells or rose and jasmine - a very sweet rose, like a garden labyrinth with vanilla cake smell coming from the open kitchen window. It s a fragrance for young woman, but it not smell like a princess at all. More like little Red Riding Hood, innocent and girly.

I really love this one but not as much as the original Princess. A nice floral perfume that is pretty and youthful, just like you would imagine it would smell like.

floral, warm, sweet, shiny,and like a pretty princess just as Vera Wang

I love it, that is what a young pretty and preppy girl smells like.

I find this to be crisp, floral and gentle.

11/18 - I was sitting in the library on the computers and this girl about 20 feet away from me sat down. A few moments later, this beautiful scent wafted over to me. Clean, floral, elegant... I KNEW it was her. I told myself to keep quiet and just enjoy the fragrance, but the more it enveloped around me, the more I HAD to find out what it was! I mustered up enough nerve to go over to her: "Pardon me. I know you're going to think I'm crazy, but what is that wonderful scent you are wearing?" She and her friend looked at each other and laughed, but she blushed and politely said, "Thank you. My brother gave it to me as a gift, and I don't know what it is... Princess-something?" I asked, "Is it Vera Wang?" She turned around and did a web search and, when she found this bottle, she pointed and exclaimed, "That's it!" I immediately went out and bought the 3.4 oz bottle and I am not sorry. Not one bit. It's exquisite - just what I adore in perfumes - it's a glorious fusion of florals and fruits. Crisp, airy, clean. This is what I want to smell like always, even when I've not seen a shower in 18 hours. It's perfect for moments when you're in close proximity to others as long as you've not bathed in it. This is what being a woman and the wondrous feminity we celebrate is all about!

I had the original Princess, which my husband always complimented. When I found out my sister in law loved it, I gave her my nearly full bottle with the intention to purchase another original princess for myself. However, when I saw the Flower Princess flanker and read that it had a prominent water Lily note, I was curious and intrigued so I blind bought it. Indeed, I this is a lovely water Lily perfume with what I would describe as a sheer iris. Some reviewers are comparing this the Avon Haiku; which I would put both Flower Princess and Haiku in the same family but I do not think they are the same or dupes. Flower Princess is less green and sharp than Haiku. It has none of the chocolate or coffee notes of the original Princess. I consider the original Princess to be an autumn or winter scent. If you like floral perfumes, I highly recommend Flower Princess. I normally wear Lily of the Valley perfumes and now I am thinking I also like water Lily perfumes based on how I like Flower Princess. Very fresh, shear, and “watery.”

This is a very clean and fresh white floral, simple and easy to wear. I can imagine it being a safe office scent as it is unoffensive and lacks character, but I feel this is the charm of Flower Princess. Of course it is not anything unique or special, as it is marketed for teenagers and maybe needed to be a nice, floral all-pleasing scent. You are not missing out on anything if you don't have/get this one. I like the simplicity of it-is perfect for days when I feel I want some gentle and girly perfume to wear. I also find this is great for layering. It is a super girly bottle that looks very pretty, but overall not a must smell or must have. Still more than happy to wear it, and I have to note that longevity and sillage are surprisingly great for this. I could easily smell it after 6-7 hours, without having to bury my nose in my wrist and it only came off after a shower. I was very impressed by the performance.

i thrifted this last summer in the heat of new orleans. i immediately recognized the iconic vera wang princess bottle design and picked it up assuming it was the original but was still pleasantly surprised to find out it was the flower flanker. this fragrance is nothing special really, just a strong white floral scent. however, the staying power is insane! 12 hours will pass and this will still be going strong on me, every time. this is awesome for layering, since it lasts so long and works well with my chemistry. even though its a little basic on its own, i just love having this in my collection. :^)

At fisrt I wasn't particularly fond of this scent so it sat on the back burner for a while. Eventually I tried it again and I was suprised how well it worked with my skin! I don't think I have ever been complimented as much about my perfume as I did with Vera Wang Princess. The intensity of the floral that I didn't like at first fades into a soft, feminine scent that follows you everywhere all day long and mus really do something for the fellas because I couldn't stop all the complements hehehe! Pretty good stuff.
