Princess

Princess by Vera Wang is a true fairytale fragrance. Creamy, feminine, soft, and innocent. I imagine this scent on a ballerina, on Aurora or Odette, or on Juliet Capulet. It is the perfect fragrance for Juliet from the 2013 Romeo and Juliet movie. To me, this fragrance goes perfectly with the atmosphere of the film; castles and candlelight, beauty and tragedy, the rush of new love, rose petals, climbing vines, youth and hopefulness, warmth and tenderness. This is the perfect perfume for fallng in love. A captivating collection of vanilla ribbons and orange, of waterlilies and rain. The note which truly stands out to me is a lovely hot chocolate note; warm, creamy, and inviting. It has a beauty and magic all its own. There is also an aquatic element to this fragrance which only adds to its beauty, like starlight on a lake. It is captivating and magical. I am simply enchanted by this perfume. It smells so beautiful on me, so soft and ethereal that it almost seems unreal, like a dream or a fantasy. My husband loves it too. It is his absolute favorite perfume of mine. So delicate and romantic, enchanting and ethereal. The name suits the fragrance perfectly; this fragrance evokes an imagine of a perfect princess, a feminine ideal of grace and poise, with delicate features and creamy white skin, with elegant fingers, and long cascading locks of hair. It is everything I aspire to be; soft, graceful, feminine, classical, romantic, elegant. It is forever my signature scent. It smells like Valentine's day, like a luxurious box of chocolates wrapped with a shiny red bow, like bouquets of delicate white flowers, like love letters covered with kisses, like whispered confessions of love.

Floral, whispers of fruit, amber with vanilla and chocolate that give it that rounded sweetness as opposed to the toothache sweet so many perfumes dubbed "young" have. For me, it wears down to a chocolatey warm sweetness that lasts. During the fall and winter months, I've noticed it keeps in my hair(between wash days) and coats for days! I'm one of the many that has emotional ties to Princess by Vera Wang and have worn this scent since I was 20 (ten+ years). I wore this throughout my husband and I dating; this was my wedding day perfume and morbidly what I want to wear to my funeral. I was a serial VS perfume wearer and when I outgrew VS (they discontinued everything I tried to make a signature scent) and through every new favorite since, Princess has always remained a front runner for me. To many, this might be a "common/teen/nothing special" scent, but for those of us that wore it while finding ourselves, meeting our significant others or for other monumental/special occasions; it will always be a signature and have a front row spot on the perfume tray.

I wore this, Coco Mademoiselle and Flowerbomb for YEARS. Super basic girly girl fragrances. This one, while it is “youthful”, it still has complexity. The notes shine while also being cohesive and beautifully blended. I think this would still be a perfect first perfume for any young woman, however, I still wore this well into my 30’s! To me, the apricot and vanilla are really the stars of the show here. I have another chocolate and apricot perfume with Dulce Diablo and that is a much more grown up take on those notes. The chocolate is so smooth and not reminiscent of cocoa powder like it is in most chocolate fragrances. There is a powdery quality to it, that makes it feel youthful for me, not sure where it’s coming from but as a person who dislikes powdery scents, it never stopped me from loving this one. I love my Chanel fragrances, I love my Roja perfumes, PDM, Initio, Ex Nihilo, I have a huge collection now, but I also love a good fruity, girly sweet fragrance and this one will always be a classic for me.

Princess opens up with watery guava and chocolate on my skin! I never quite get the woody base or intense fruit.. Its a soft and sweet scent that leans aquatic~ It can be slightly green as it starts to dry, maybe from the tuberose? But it isn't exactly floral.. When its totally dry, its a smooth milky chocolate ♡ While its a simple scent, its very fun and girly! Its very 2000s but not a scent I owned at the time.. For me, it evokes polka dot prints and plastic tiaras (ala 2007 ageha)~ A little kitsch, a playful and modern princess ^^/ It might not be the most "me" scent in my collection, but its one I love to reach for! I love airy and aquatic scents, and fruity gourmands, so it was an instant hit with me~ I like wearing it on rainy days the most, but its easy to wear year round~

To my nose and I have an extensive collection. This doesn’t smell cheap at all but maybe it’s all that nostalgia talking... lol. Seriously though I do love this fragrance someone bought it for me as a high school graduation gift when I was younger and I think I’ve loved it ever since. It’s simple but very potent and beautiful it works very well with my chemistry and literally lasts all day on me which is amazing for an EDT! On me this pulls very guava, chocolate, Lilly, vanilla which makes for a delicious and yummy scent. There is something innocent and mature about it at the same time. Love to use it out of the shower with my vanilla lotion. I get a lot of compliments on this too. It’s sweet without being cloying and fresh without being citrusy. Love this forever!
