Rock Princess

I've had this for years, and this one seems to be REALLY different for everyone based on all the reviews. On my skin, I don't get any of the spices/spiciness others seem to. I get this creamy, powdery, exotic coconut from start to finish! I definitely pick up on the iris and jasmine, from start to finish. I think both lend a certain powderiness to this,but not in a baby powder kind of way. But the coconut is definitely the most noticeable note in this (on my skin) this is creamy, powdery and unique. I definitely get the cashmere as well, which gives it a sort of coziness. I get little to no fruit in this, it's very mild. It lends a tiny bit of sweetness/juiciness, but again, it's very mild. This is unique, exotic, and different. I don't own anything that smells like this. To me, this is a fun,sultry and sexy. It's sexy in a clean/coconut type of way. This is gorgeous in EVERY season apart from winter. It's absolutely incredible in the summer time! This isn't juvenile, or too mature in my opinion also, It's not synthetic,or overwhelmed with alcohol. The staying power is above average in my opinion, especially if you have hydrated skin, and if you spray it on clothing. This could absolutely be a signature/everyday scent. It's really, really lovley. I feel this fragrance is underappreciated and very underated.

I guess Vera Wang Rock Princess is a 'love it' or 'hate it' type of concoction. I happen to love it. It begins on a semi-sweet note of juicy peach with a hint of raspberry with the bergamont making only a momentary appearance. This is a plus for me as I feel that bergamont is waaayyy over-used in most fragrances and sometimes lends a 'cold' or 'harsh' tone to a lot of fragrances. It's not sugary sweet like Princess and it's warmer than Flower Princess. The heliotrope and lily round out Rock Princess in the heart notes while the peach lingers. The stars of this fragrance are in the drydown. The drydown is unbelievable. Instead of coconut as I'm used to smelling it, it has a cocoa butter type drydown to it. I suppose that this is due to the musk and cashmere wood. Rock Princess is utterly edible throughout the fragrance. To me it smells like my grandma's peach tart. Slightly spicy and buttery with warm baked peaches. Reminds me of Christmas! When we did the sniff test, my husband favored Rock Princess second after the original Princess fragrances. Rock Princess is my favorite of the three, but I do like all of them. The only negative is that it only lasted for about 6 hours on me. I'll need to purchase the lotion in order to layer the fragrance. I rate it an 8 out of 10.

I like all the *Princess* range, but this is one that stands out for me, because it is so different from its sister scents. I consider Rock Princess as being the fun outgoing slightly more grown up sister to the demure original Princess. It starts out with a sharp burst of raspberry and other juicy fruits. Perhaps that is the "rock" part of this fragrance, as it does announce itself with vigor. Rock Princess then calms down a little as the rose and jasmine soothe the sharpness of the fruits. The dry down is a delicate fruity musk on me. Perhaps that represents the calmness a real rock princess feels after she has danced the night away. All in all it's a very nice perfume. Yes, it may be aimed at a younger audience but it's still a more mature scent than others in the Princess range. The unfortunate downside that I encounter with most Vera Wang perfumes is that they don't last longer than a few hours, and this one isn't an exception. Still it's fun and flirty and good for wear in the day time or at night.

This as well as glam princess where my favorites from this line. I wore this one a lot (probably like 15 years ago now!), and still do on occasion. I was absolutely a rock princess, complete with a heavy metal lover (meant to be sung like the gaga song), and so I gravitated towards this. I would spritz this on before I would go see said guy, and it just seemed to add the finishing touch. A little bit of edge, and sexiness. At least it made me feel that way haha. I remember nights dressing up going to concerts wearing this fragrance. I liked to wear it to concerts because it wasn’t overpowering but it still smelled good. Yes, it has a boosy but fruity note, but I liked that. It also reminded me of going to dark clubs with loud music and beer on tap, so it was perfect for those occasions. It is definitely a young scent but I still enjoy it, if just for memory’s sake. I didn’t know there was a newer version until recently... I will be trying it soon.

Just purchased another bottle at tjmaxx today and still have my old one but this smells good and very potent because I'm a heavy sprayer and before I left the house I used one spray on the wrist and the whole time I was out shopping I smelled it. I originally picked lady gaga fame but it didn't smell like anything so I took it back into tjs and exchanged for rock princess... This to me has a slight banana smell and reminds me of a sweet version of Halloween. Idk but to me it lasts just like the original princess and I feel better knowing its from a designer instead of lady gaga lol tbh I only got the lady gaga cause it was 9.99 and I'm scared of her lol I don't do evil but the fame bottle is pretty and I woulda kept it if it smelled but it was like spraying water .. I'll stick with Vera cause she knows her fragrance like she knows her gowns.
