Glam Princess

As an inveterate chypre and classic floral aldehydic lover, I did NOT expect to love this one as much as I do, but it's part of participating in the Great Scent Mystery when this inexplicably happens with a perfume... Glam Princess is a hard one for me to describe but reading other folks describe it as "airy" seems about right. I finally figured out it's a mix of a guava top note + lightly sweet powdery marshmallow + cashmeran (don't know how to describe this!) + pear + musk/ambrette, with a tiny honey note in the drydown, once it becomes a skin scent -- which, unfortunately, it does WAAAAYYY too fast. The sillage is gentle -- which is fine -- but the longevity is pretty bad on this one, I'm sad to say. But when I wear it with a base layer of iso e super (I bought it on Amazon), that does amp up the longevity, thankfully, and I can smell this gentle, airy beauty for maybe 5 hours -- acceptable longevity, in my book. So, at first blast in the beginning, it's sweet but not too sweet; the guava is juicy, fresh but tart, and I think I get a bit of pear underneath (I LOVE pear). I can't say I exactly smell marshmallows, but there is a slightly powdery, delicate sweetness that could be marshmallow. And then there's the lovely base of musk/ambrette -- a vegetal, rather than animalic, musk that you also get in Calvin Klein Beauty, another perfume that just makes me happy (but is much sweeter with all the jasmine that one has). At the very end, I get a lovely honey note, just as the scent trails off. It actually is kind of similar to Juicy Couture Hollywood Royal that I saw it compared to above, but I think Glam Princess is actually more interesting than that one. As you've gathered, I really love Glam Princess even though it's a pretty poor performer without the help of the iso e super. I find the original Princess just OK, so won't bother with a full bottle of that one, and I did try Flower Princess but found it way too sharp aquatic/cleanser-y for me. But Glam Princess, to me, is just perfect. <3

Vera Wang Glam Princess is a nice fragrance, I felt as if this one is a bit weightier, spicier, and muskier version of the original. Upon the first spritz I did experience the guava and pear with a mild hint of the red currant. I believe that I would have increased the ratio of red currant over that of the pear note to make this scent fractionally more uplifting. As it fades, I found a bit more of the original VW Princess pushing to the foreground. The heart notes are sweeter and a bit powdery (which I ordinarily don't like)--but for this fragrance it works. I could really pick up on the orchid in the heart as well. The basenotes are sweeter than the opening and the middle. Creamy, sugary, and slighty moist...like a marshmallow. Strangely enough, I did think this one would be sweeter and more gourmand than the orignal and other flankers because of the brightness of the bottle and ad campaign. It really isn't a bright fragrance. It's smoky, darker, and heavier even though it still exudes the sweetness of Princess. Actually, I believe this to be the first of the Princess line more suited to someone in her late 20s and beyond. There is something classic and classy about this one without giving up on the whimsy of womanhood. Overall, I really like it and will buy more. It's well done and more interesting than some of the other newly released fragrances out there. I rate it an 8 out of 10.

Glam Princess is my favorite princess. I sort of feel like she is the ignored and unappreciated princess. Probably because the general audience it was made for wasn't prepared for something almost unisex coming from a bottle labeled princess. This fragrance reminds me of a feminine dior homme intense (the formulation with ambrette seed). The opening is sparkly like and it almost gives off a champagne kind of vibe to me. I smell the pear and guava clearly. The middle with the honey and orchid explains right off the bat why I probably am in love with glam princess. That velvet candy like sweetness from orchid comes out to play and the sticky sweet honey with orange flower adds a nice sticky sweet floral heart pairing off that fruity almost bubbly kind of top fruit notes. Throughout the whole fragrance the cashmere note is quite strong with a bit of cedar, it creates a creamy softly spicy white smelling kind of wood. The Ambrette seed adds this wonderful sweet powdery musk smell that I love that can only really be described as ambrette seed smell because something that awesome really deserves it's own category. I feel like more people would like this walking up to the bottle expecting something woody and unisex. The blend isn't as smooth as I would have hoped it to be, but I do love it and crave it time to time. I'm on my second bottle.

I like this perfume. On my skin it projects very sweet and fruity. After a few hours it settles in the marshmellow scent. my boyfriend said 'it doesnt smell like vanilla. it smells like cream' lol also, it lasts quite a long time :) im pleased and got two bottles :) Edit: Ive had both perfume bottles since 2010, When I first tested it, i really loved it and everyone that was with me, (7 pple) loved it too. During the months and years I kept receiving more fragrances and I liked them more than this one. But now that I have 26 bottles Ive decided to not buy no more until I use them up. I decided to use them in the order in which ive gotten them, oldest to newest, and this one is the oldest I have. Now that Im using this scent every day and will continue until I finish both bottles I've come to appreciate it even more. It starts out with a pear and guava scent, very fruity. Then after an hour the fruity scent remains but there's a slight spice in it. Smells richer, deeper. In the drydown it turns to a creamy, marshmallow scent. Ive gotten compliments from many. This fragrance makes me feel girly, delicate, feminine. Im glad I decided to go back to this one again. <3

I feel like this is Princess' moody older sister; the top notes aren't scintillating, they seem dusty and mellow. It takes a couple hours for this girl to warm up and become sweet and outgoing. It's a soft opening, and I detect the guava and berries in the top notes. The middle is shy... the fruit of the opening morphs into the vanilla orchid (I suspect that's responsible for the dusty feel) and you think the meeting may be over. The scent grows, though, and climaxes in the dry-down! On me it's more about marshmallow than woody notes, though they are certainly anchoring everything. This radiates off the skin gently, yet I can still smell it easily six hours in. I am surprised by how much the notes in this differ from the notes in Princess! The overall effect of the middle notes and dry-down are so very similar. I love this as much as the original (which I wore for my wedding day); this version feels more all-season, appropriate for cozy fall and winter weather, too. I find the journey of this girl quite interesting! She is the introverted Princess, and every bit as lovely as her sister.
