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!

I wouldn't consider this to be a white floral, at all. It has white flowers IN it, but it's so much more. I'm surprised there aren't any violets or iris in it because it is powdery. It's sweet with the vanilla, and has sparkly fruit notes with the apricots and guava-I definitely smell the guava. With the amber base, the scent manages to have a more rounded, full scent profile which creates depth. Overall, it's a feminine, youthful, pretty fragrance and very appropriate for women under 30, however, I still have a bottle and reach for it from time to time. It carries nostalgia like Viva La Juicy does, but this is not a basic fruity, floral scent and has more complexity to it. I could see this being made by a fragrance house like Guerlain.

The first time I saw this perfume online, I felt instantly drawn to it. The bottle was adorable... just too cute! In 2006, I had just finished university and started working. I was beginning to get into perfumes and dreamed of owning this one, but sadly, it wasn’t available where I lived. Every year, I would see the little bottle on social media and whisper to myself... one day, I will have it. Fast forward to 2025, and I finally got my Princess perfume. Thank you so much to my sister-in-law who got it from the UK. Just as I imagined all these years, this perfume feels like it was made for me. I instantly fell in love with its sweet chocalatey and white floral scent.The cute bottle looks perfect on my vanity table... so precious!!

This is a great option if you’re just getting into perfumes. Very versatile, inoffensive and easy to wear. It’s slightly more on the gourmand side but the drydown is very fresh and floral, almost powdery. The orange and guava notes stand out the most to me. The chocolate notes were not noticeable at first but they came out eventually. This is a great everyday scent and very feminine, but not too juvenile despite the name. The overall performance is relatively good and it’s very affordable. I found a full size bottle at TJMaxx for around $30. Composition: 8.5/10 Sillage: 7/10 (projects decently without being obnoxious, doesn’t become a skin scent until around 5hrs) Longevity: 7/10 (around 6 hrs)

I own over 50 bottles of perfume, many of them niche or high end, and yet my 100ml bottle of Princess is already half empty. That says something. She's sweet, but not cloying, thanks to a generous underpinning of aquatic notes. Be warned though, the chocolate might not come through on you. It definitely doesn't on me. Instead, I get pleasant, but generic honeydew-and-vanilla kind of sweetness. Princess lasts through the office day, has reasonable projection, but won't choke anyone coming in for a hug. If I had fewer frags, I'd definitely repurchase. I think Princess is a classic "quality white T-shirt" kind of scent. Very versatile, which some might read as "boring", but I don't mind.

💲 I continually repurchase this; Every time I run out of Vera Wang Princess, I restock on it at Ross, where they usually have the full size for about $24-27. 👃 This has been my signature scent for years; I just love smelling like a soft, fluffy, chocolate-dipped marshmallow. Upon initial spray, the scent can come across as a strong, very generic perfume-counter fragrance, but this will dissipate within a few minutes. What you will be left with at dry down is a light creamy scent that is just sweet enough without becoming cloying. There is a touch of powderiness but in a clean airy, way, not like baby butt talc.

This is a very elegant, soft, feminine, and beautiful scent. It smells like what you would imagine a princess would smell like if you were younger. My mother used to wear this in 2006 and gave it to me when I was a teenager. It makes me very nostalgic. I even have an extra bottle sealed in the box for when it runs out. I'm in my 20s now and I wear it occasionally when I'm out somewhere nice for a dinner or anniversary. My only critique is, I don't smell any chocolate as advertised at all. I didn't even know it had a chocolate note before I looked on here.

Oh to be a little girl again... dreaming, doodling stars, and believing in fairytales. When I got Princess, it felt like I’d been handed pure magic. This wasn’t just a perfume, it was my treasure chest. A gift that made me feel like royalty. The bottle alone? A sparkling amethyst heart crowned with gold. I’d just hold it and stare, like it was a rare jewel. And to 14 year-old me, it really was. Wish i still had my bottle, i would love to purchase a new one if i come across it again ....

I bought my bottle in 2020, and time has developed this scent into something even more rich and beautiful than it was before. The vanilla and chocolate are more pronounced, the tiare and waterlily have more backbone, and the fruits are more present, the amber is always humming in the background but louder now, which I LOVE. The longevity and sillage have improved, though still nothing to write home about. I'm half way through this bottle now, and tempted to buy another to let sit while I finish this up.

Vey safe perfume if you're looking for a perfume for a girl in your life. Smells fruity and sweet yet refreshing, and the vanilla/chocolate scents aren't overpowering. It may be a safer blind buy but it's still a very unique scent. Very versatile but it feels more like a winter/spring scent, I would recommend for younger girls, maybe teens and tweens. But in general, very good perfume, smells amazing. Overall rating: 9/10 (took off a point because sadly its not as strong as i'd like it to be.)

This was the first perfume I bought myself in my early 20's. Recently found the last remains stashed away and tried it out again for fun. I'm not sure if I ever paid attention to it before & hid it in the back of my mind- but my God. The guava and dark chocolate notes are amazing. Was drawing when I caught a wiff and couldn't believe I never noticed. I'm in my early 30's and will definitely buy another bottle (* ́ ▽ ` *)

This is what millennials (teenagers in the 2000s) were obsessed with. There is nothing special about the scent, but it was the IT scent back then and I’m not mad at it because it’s so nostalgic 🥹. This is a soft sweet floral, there is barely any fruitness to it. Longevity and projection is not ever at all but the bottle is everything. It’s the type of fragrance you would wear at the gym or for fast errands.

Vera Wang Princess was a blind buy during a rough time, and wow—what a perfect choice. It’s feminine, delicate, and beautifully balanced between musky, woodsy, floral, and slightly fruity notes. I can totally see this being a bridal favorite—it’s soft, romantic, and effortlessly elegant. I don’t pick up the chocolate or vanilla, but the fruity undertones make it feel fresh and timeless. Love, love, love!

I didn't even like this one at first but later when i sprayed on my wrist i changed my mind . Smells the same way as something magical. The key for that smell are those aquatic notes ,the vanilla and chocolate all together. Literally feels like a magic potion from the fairytales. Such a soft one , with surprising long longevity for EDT ( for me). So mad i have like 2 ml left.

This was one of my go-to’s along with DKNY Be Delicious back in 2006-2008. Takes me back to staying up all night, listening to the newest Muse album on repeat on my Walkman CD player. Now it’s one of my favorite bedtime scents. Longevity is impressive for an EDT. I mainly get the chocolate, vanilla and a non-descript floral. So relaxing and dreamy. Enjoy this 2000s gem!

love this! gourmand and fruity at the same time. the longevity is meh, on skin it evaporates very quick. the initial smell when just sprayed is musky? musky/mature in the way that chanel no. 5 is musky and mature, but the dry down is much nicer and less offensive, but still very sophisticated. i wish it lasted a bit longer but aside from that its one of my go to scents
