Rock Princess 2023

I tried this today and was so pleasantly surprised that I bought it! (It's very very affordable). I have no original fragrance to compare to, so this is someone who is entirely new to the whole Vera Wang Princess line. The mix of peach and ylang ylang in the top notes make it punchy- like the party drink AND also a little bit of a punch in the face lol because it does smell alcoholic for about 30 seconds. Then I definitely get white floral and already the night blooming jasmine in the mid notes. In fact, before I read the notes, I described the white floral as "dark, like under the moonlight", so I was right! And it lasts a long time too, with the base notes giving it some good grounding. Overall, this is a peachy, fresh white floral with a warm, comforting base. But the fresh isn't a "bright early morning" type of fresh. It's like a fresh night breeze. Definitely strictly night time or outdoors perfume for me, as I tried wearing to work and it was NOT the same experience, in fact I didn't like it- too powdery inside. Meanwhile, wearing out for dinner at night in summer... *chefs kiss*. I feel this will be amazing for a spring night though, or a picnic. I think if this fragrance were called Emo Princess or Scene Princess, as the bottle and even the smell suggests, people would have loved it. I can totally see introverted alt girls wearing this. One downside: the sprayer sucks! It projectile sprays at you rather than misting the perfume. I've found that may affect the top notes, hence alcoholic smell? but that's all. Edit: layering this with green fragrances (e.g. mugler Aura EDT) makes it very white floral garden-like. It makes me think of a beautiful white wedding in a fancy garden venue. Also layering this with something more sweet and sugary like Burberry Brit makes a really interesting mix of powdery floral and fruity sugar, which makes me think strongly of the colour pastel purple for some reason?

I just came to say I'm one of the few that loves this fragrance. I even bought the body spray, lotion and shower gel to match. When I first spray I can immediately detect the powder, which I already adore. Then the slightly sweet and dry peach and ylang-ylang. After about 30 seconds, still retaining it's light powdery sweetness, the peach and flowers mix with the sandalwood and amber, it smells so, so good. I don't get vanilla and the rose isn't heavy either. The night blooming jasmine gives Rock Princess a robust scent profile, which I guess can people are saying it's tire rubber? Aftershave? Penis?? But it comes off more as a powdery boozy floral as it stays on my skin. It goes on strong at first, then settles down, and last about 4 hours on my skin. I also have the original Rock Princess, that one is more dark berries, creamy and lotion like, but this one is a bit more unique; the aroma is almost the same; just powder, florals & amber. This also is like a younger lady being introduced to booze at a party for the first couple of times. Regardless of who it's marketed towards, I adore this fragrance. If you want a musky, powdery boozy floral this is it!

I tried this today at my local drugstore cause they had a huge stack of sample cards (the ones you peel and sniff) and I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this. It’s not groundbreaking or a favorite but I think it’s a perfect work fragrance for rose girlies. It’s not too loud, but it’s still beautiful and has a softness that makes it easy to wear. I’m probably gonna grab a 1.7 of this. For the price, I think it’s a good investment for my office job.

Opening notes of watching a scene kid trying to eat a cologne bottle at your local skate park, before dying down to the elegant and refined scent of Larry the Cucumber in a tuxedo. Perfect for your edgy teenage child who thinks listening to Iron Maiden makes them a hardcore metalhead, less so for your frail old grandmother who hates sunshine and gay people. Would recommend, love it, wearing it around my friends until they accept that this is the new me.

Got a mini of this alongside Princess. Never tried the original, so I can't compare. I really like this!! On me, it's predominantly fruity and slightly powdery. It dries down to a smoky-ish scent with that subtle fruity scent. I was worried it would be overpowering, but it's really pleasant! So happy with it.
