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.

I really like this perfume. I got it as a tester a while back and fell in love. I have since bought the full size and wear it almost everyday. On me it is a light sweet scent and perfect for daytime wear. It's not too strong but not too weak either, it's just the right combo. It doesn't have much lasting power and does tend to wear off quicker than others, but it's not enough to make me stop wearing or buying this. It is one of my top everyday running around perfumes.

The bottle is original but different than the others because of the sparkles and yellow bottle. In the top note, I really smell the berries, guava and pear. In the middle notes, I'm not really smelling the African Orange Flower. I do smell the orchid. In the bas, the only things I am smelling is the Cashmere Wood and the marshmallows. I would say people under 25 would like this best. This scent kind of reminds me of a carnival. I'm not sure why. :)

Out of all the Princess flankers, Glam is the best one. No it doesn’t last long & it would probably work better layered with another scent. I love this scent so much that it is one of the very few times I have overlooked a perfume’s longevity. I will always have this one in my collection.

Im so excited that I finally finished my bottle of Glam Princess, so I can use happily my other fragrances and then I remember.. I still have another almost full bottle also waiting. lol oh well.. it shall wait a couple more years for it to be used up lol

I love this!! i bought it!!! it smells so good!!! i was looking for something light and sweet for the spring and summer. if you are looking for something like that this is for you. Cuz everything smells different on everyone!!

This was the first perfume I purchased from the Vera Wang princess line.. and still one of my favorites out of the lot. Stronger and stays on longer than most of the others... smells great.

Beautiful bottle, and the scent is gorgeous, fruity, sweet and musky.

Airy, floral, musky woods fresh. All non realistic in their actual scent, this one is pale, gentle, clean. There isn’t a whole lot to it, the dry down sweetens which I’m .. on the fence abuot, I have princess, the princess with silver neck and nozzle, the one with pink heart, a couple of the black bottled ones, the red one. Glam isn’t really this, this scent is a simple and pleasant freshie leaning airy and slightly aquatic - just nuances mind, not a full marine or aquatic. On fabric the guava, tart and water comes out more, I get more of the warm and fruity notes, on my skin I get none, and that’s fine. I get a slight bitter, a slight green but this still is light watery airy florals and gentle musk and gentle non woody woods. But no discerning notes, just a feel. Lasted last night abuot 4 hours, I have sprayed again this morning and seems the same, will edit if it lasts longer. Sillage is quiet. Probably suitable for a workplace or time when you just need to smell clean and pleasant.

OK, blind buy (based on the notes listed here) for $20 at marshalls (for the big bottle)... At first I was unimpressed- it smelled almost exactly like Soul Curve to my nose, which isn't necessarily bad... Too much fruity/floral/semi aquatic stuff happening- at first. BUT about an hour after applying. the sweeter, deeper notes show up. Warm vanilla and cashmere woods... with just a hint of sweet fruit- probably the pear. Sweet, slightly deep, comfy.Now that's what Im here for.... Keep in mind I live in FL, and its summer here, so it may smell totally different in cooler and drier weather... hoping those deep-ish notes show better then, but for now its pretty decent for a simple daily scent. Wouldn't rebuy, but am happy with 100ml for $20.

This was my 1st Vera Wang princess fragrance and I have to say when I first sprayed it I really didn't enjoy the scent. However, after the perfume lingered a bit it started to smell lovely!(Like another reviewer stated it smells mostly like a sweet pear and I absolutely love that type of fragrance in the spring and summer.) It reminds me of when I was in college and I wore Victoria Secret's Pear Glace body spray and lotion. LOL!) Never thought I would be wearing something similar to that again! Purchased a 1 fl oz at Ross for $24.95....Yeah! Not to mention that I love the little crown and the shape of the bottle. If you purchase this at a low cost that's great but I would not spend a lot of money for this fragrance.

Firstly, this perfume is marketed as a Floral Fruity Gourmand, which is misleading imo. Nothing edible about this, unless you enjoy eating flowers or wood! I generally have enjoyed the Princess line however this is a Jekyll/Hyde perfume. I was gifted this last Christmas and I'm really struggling to use it up. I do like it, but at the same time there's something about it that is not appealing. Maybe I am going crazy? Fruity/floral with an intense wood and musky drydown. Do not be fooled by the marshmallow or honey, they are very subtle. Lasing power is mehhh on my skin- about 1/2 hours. The true and original Princess still sits proudly on her throne at the top as my fav 'Princess' perfumes.

Soft fruity and woody. If you like this combination you will like this. At first spritz is slightly masculine, but it dries down into a very feminine scent that is not too sweet and has the right amount of woodiness. It is very nice, I love it. I can smell the guava, pear, some flowery note and the cashmere wood (I love cashmere wood). The only thing is that the women I work with said it smelled masculine at first (I agree), and when it dried down they could not even smell it anymore, lol. That's why I said it was soft, although they are all older than me: 47-65 years old, and they only like my very strong smelling perfumes (Amarige, Fairy Dust, etc.)

When first sprayed the musk mallow or cedar (not sure which) I don't like. It reminds me of patchouli or pencil shavings which I'm not fond of at all. But after about 2 or 3 minutes this dries down to a very pretty floral fragrance. I won't say that it hasn't been done before but it's not so horrible that I won't wear it. This is a fragrance for running errands or when you don't want to wear your best stuff out. If you are looking for unique this isn't it. I don't see me reaching for this one often but that's because I have other perfumes that I like to wear more.

Smells a lot like the original Princess, (maybe because they were both made by the same perfumers), but this one doesn’t have a great sillage or longevity. It only lasts about 1 to 2 hours on me, so I wear this one in the spring and summer and the original Princess in the fall and winter, but to me, the original is much better. The bottle looks better in pictures than it does in real life. They sprayed it with this weird shimmery gold spray paint that makes the bottle look almost dirty. But other than that I don’t regret buying this at least.

Despite its youthful appearance, which for me personally does not appeal to people over 20. it smells like perfumes for the mature audience. which I thought was due to notes of pepper. but apparently there is none in it. So maybe it's the ambrette? Fruity, light, summery, spring perfume but with a hint of something expensive. I think everyone can wear it. (if you are into fruity sweet scents) . A coincidence I got to smell this, because I got it for free in a collection of old perfumes. I like it and will wear it for casual everyday use.
