Hippie Princess

I think Hippie Princess may have been discontinued as I've tried to pick it up for a while now with no success. However, my husband surprised me with a bottle today and I was excited to try it. The bottle looks like something I would have had in my bedroom when I was a teenager - but that's OK; there are days when you want to indulge your inner teenager! The Hippie Princess bottle makes me smile, it's fun, doesn't take itself too seriously, is young, carefree, and very girly. It's youth and sunshine in a bottle! I like perfumes with a fruity note and this one has a very fruity kick to it but it's balanced by warm vanilla and musk so that over time it settles on the skin as warm and intimate. I put it on this morning around 9 am and went to an all-day event and yes I did get compliments, which is always lovely. By 7 pm I could still clearly smell the scent on my skin although the silage had reduced from moderate to intimate - lasted a lot longer than my original Princess. This isn't grown-up, sophisticated, expensive luxury perfume, it's young, fun, sparkly and lively...whatever your age!

I got a chance to smell this today! I must say, this is the total opposite of what hippies want to smell like or do smell like. When you think of hippies, you think of patchouli, woody, earthy type notes. This is a fruit explosion, don't get me wrong , I absolutely love it. It's a fruity masterpiece, but it is so far fetched from its name that I have to wonder if they either have no idea what hippies are like, or if they don't are, OR did they put the wrong smell in the wrong bottle!?!? I would for sure buy this and wear it, but if I was asked what scent I was wearing I think I would have to lie, because no one would believe this would have anything to do with anything hippie!

This perfume is super fruity. If you like fruity perfume, you will love this. Plus, the bottle is so adorable. I'm sad this perfume is discontinued. I had to order my bottle from Europe because it isn't sold in America anymore (at least, I can't find it anywhere). There is a downside to this perfume. I feel like once I spray it on me (and I am spraying 5-7 squirts), I cannot smell it an hour later. It fades so quickly. Because of this, I have to carry the perfume with me and apply it pretty frequently. However, I would still buy this perfume again if I am ever able to find it. That's how much I love it! Would I recommend this? YES!

Much like always, the freesia in this really amps up on my skin. Luckily, it doesn't overwhelm the rest of it...and it's good enough that I keep it, despite the ten minutes of freesia overload. :) It's great in the summertime, and shallowly, I really love the bottle. Lasts a good while on me, though it's not eternal. Definitely don't regret picking up a full bottle.

So I'm giving this a second review now that I purchased this. Found it for 19.99 last night...woohoo!! I will again say undeniably this is nothing hippie. Nothing even remotely hippie which I'm okay with because I god damn love this. I typically prefer aquatics and fresh scents but this is so nice. Love love love

This is summer in a bottle. It's a beautiful fruity scent, just enough sweetness, with a soft dry down. And for £25 50ml and a free tote bag, psshhhh it's a bargain !!! Vera wang you have done it again <3

I was bought this perfume as a gift and it is my new favourite summer scent. Hippie Princess is very fruity, warm and sweet. I get a beachy tropical vibe from it. The most prominent notes I can smell are mango, apricot, vanilla, apple blossom & a hint of musk & wood. The lasting power on my skin is pretty weak, about 2 hours however I absolutely love Hippie Princess so I don't mind reapplying. Overall, another beautiful feminine fragrance by Vera Wang. A gorgeous everyday scent that is perfect for hot summers.If you like sweet tropical & fruity scents, I recommended this one.

This perfume is so old (5 yrs is old nowadays) i cant even really tell what it's supposed to smell like. It definitely doesnt smell like viva la juicy. It may smell a bit like wonderland peony but I cant really tell bc it smells more like bug spray than anything. Maybe it smells a bit like princess power? Too bad. I guess I waited too long to try this one. I couldn't find a good deal until now, but there are still people selling them for over $150. Hah. Good luck with that. Grrr I'm so disappointed and annoyed that I have to go return it. Ugh... excuse me while I go shower.

Why oh why isn't this an EDP? Upon the initial opening, I get the most deliciously sweet candied fruits, but within five minutes this has turned into a cotton candy skin scent that is completely gone within an hour. I understand it's an EDT, but I have cheap body sprays from Wal-Mart that last longer than this! Very disappointing and the second time this has happened with a Vera Wang scent (the other being Princess Power that I also liked, but passed on due to lack of sillage and staying power).

Very tropical sweet and fun. A nice summer scent. I do find the apricot jumps out a little harshly on my skin at first but once it dries down it improves. I do agree with what others have said about the hippie correlation being questionable. I too think Patchouli or sandalwood would be more "hippie". They aren't the same but if you like this you should try Britney's Island Fantasy.

Finally tracked down a good bottle of this and it's nice! It reminds me a bit of bbw venice dolce berry. Actually you guys nailed it. It smells a lot like peony wonderland which smells like venice dolce berry. You could almost just buy peony wonderland instead, but I had to try it for myself so I dont expect anyone to actually take my word for it

I finally found a bottle of this online, and I have to say that it is a beautiful scent! The dry down is definitely a vanilla smell, and it's nice! I am not sure why this was named 'Hippy Princess' considering it's not what I would consider 'hippy-ish', but it's pleasant enough for me to want to wear everyday to any occasion. Very safe blind buy.

Sweet and pretty fruity floral. It does smell summery to me. It reminds me slightly of Viva La Juicy. Nothing unique or incredible but a safe scent when you want to smell nice. I wouldn't say it is teenagers only, I think any age can wear this easily. Safe blind buy and could be good as an office scent. Overall a like from me.

Hippie Princess is super fruity and sugary sweet. When I first smelt this fragrance I could have sworn that I was smelling passionfruit, however re-visiting the scent pyramid it's possibly the mango note that is standing out the most to my nose. Either way, this is a tropical, fruity kind of fragrance. Hippie Princess is actually quite far removed from other Vera Wang scents. In a blind testing you'd be forgiven for thinking that Hippie Princess was an Escada Limited Edition Summer release. It's not my kind of fragrance unfortunately, but that's not to say that others won't enjoy it. Hippie Princess is intended for the younger market, as is a majority of the Princess range. In my mid 20's I'm just outside of that age bracket, the kind of individual that seeks less juvenile smelling scents to add to my wardrobe. Hippie Princess is a light, fun-filled scent with loads of sugary fruits and sweet, fluffy vanilla. It's all rainbows and fairy floss, (essentially all things 'girly'). I would recommend this fragrance for young teenage girls, perhaps those just starting out wearing perfume. The sweetness is not too overbearing so for that reason I think it's safe to say that it's inoffensive. Hippie Princess is an odd choice of name. There's no patchouli oil for this Hippie Princess and maybe that's to its advantage.

I would like to kindly ask any member of the club a question regarding this fragrance. I never had the chance to try this fragrance since I can not find it in my country (Greece) but I would like to kindly ask if the mango note smells like or has similarities with the guava note. In the past I had blindly bought love & glamour by JLO and I had badly regret it because there was a note that I could not stand and I assumed it was due to the guava note (with a sour smell), a totally unknown note/smell for me which made the fragrance totally unbearable. Generally speaking I would like to kindly ask any member, if this fragrance has any similarities with any other fragrance (the relevant column, this perfume reminds me of........is blank) or if it has any other resemblance with another princess. Furthermore I would like to kindly ask about its duration and quality (because from my experience of princess classic, princess glam, and princess preppy I was not really thrilled.....). I would like to kindly thank you for you time, your patience and help. Yours, Hara

I got a deal on EBay. I already have 2 other popular perfumes with Hippy in the title and since this is loved by many, I thought wth! I am a little hippy mixed with a little trashy! 😉 I see why so many people really love it. It’s not the greatest perfume, but I do prefer it over True Religion Hippie Chic. There’s something familiar about it, maybe the Escada that it is compared to. I had minis of those in the late 90’s or early 2000’s. It smells classy, similar vibe as the Miss Dior line, but no dupe. The mango, apricot, wood and musk come through the most. It has a warmth which makes me surprised that there’s no pepper or patchouli. And the bottle is so cute! Hippie Princess is not similar to the original at all, but I love both! I want to try more in the line and maybe even get another bottle if I find a deal. It’s a shame it’s discontinued! Edit: I don’t have Viva La Juicy, but my daughter does and she confirmed that they are similar so that’s probably where the familiarity comes from.

Personally I love these brightly coloured bottles and I did once write down all the various notes in flankers and they all have their differences but all sound lovely to me, this is no exception. Cannot wait to see this available in shops in the UK. This fragrance sounds like it would fit into my collection lovely and why cannot there be another 'Princess' in the Princess range? How many different types of Barbie are there when, essentially, they could have just produced different outfits and wigs for Barbie with a generic Ken? (I think there was a Hippie Barbie wasn't there?) ... The notes sounds perfect to me, and maybe Vera Wang was trying to make a statement ... maybe not all Hippie Women liked wearing Patch - this does sound like something my mum would have worn at that time and she considered herself a Weekend Hippie .... lol! EDIT: Just seen this on the Boots Website with a Free Bag, I wish I could get it!

After only recently discovering Vera Wang Perfumes, I have been working my way through the Princess Range (I've tried original Princess, Princess Night and Preppy Princess) So I thought I'd try Hippie Princess. Immediately for me I'm hit with Apricot/Peach/Mango scents, it reminds me of summer and the beach. I love fruity perfumes, so for me this is heaven. I also notice some light florals which compliment it greatly. I can't notice the original Princess in this one that much though. I really like this perfume, however after an hour and half I'm having to spray more because I'm left with only a faint scent, which is slightly disappointing but doesn't take away the fact that it smells so goooood!

Name is Slightly misleading, when I think hippy I automatically think patchouli. None here folks. I'd say this is an Aristocrat/princess Playing at being a hippy. This is My first Vera Wang Perfume. Outback Australian Winter skips Spring and goes straight to Summer and this little beauty has hit the shops here at just the right time. This is Summer in a bottle, Mangoes and Apricots when the skins are hot from the sun, there's too many on the tree and there all over the grass. Some blossom but it's fleeting. This is predominately a fruity smell. This is a good gift to give in Spring or summer as it suits the season perfectly. Scent 6.5 / 10 Bottle 5 / 10

Fragrance always conjures up memory , place or image of a certain person for me . I smell wood and mangoes , it reminds of those fruitarian hippie girls who have a social media platform dedicated to their small farm land and have 34 mangoes for lunch whilst bathing in the river you know who I mean? (if that’s your thing cool no shame , live your life freely ) That’s the kind of “hippie” I get . This fragrances is not for me , off to my cousin to see if she can make it work This is #29 out of my 114 perfumes I’m trying to use before I buy anymore .
