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.

I got this today at Marshalls a 3.4 oz for $32.00 on discount.I am happy with it.I seen it yesterday and I had to go back and get it today.I like the bottle alot my son says it stands out from all of the others in my collection.It is very light and I would say lighter than the original I guess someone would have to be right up on me to smell it. It does smell familiar to me like a light sweet candy scent maybe those little valentines candy hearts and I do detect some bannana in this.Overall I give it a 4 out of 5 only because it is too light.I wouldn't repurchase but it is nice to have.Now I need Flower Princess and all 3 lotions and I have the collection.

Sheesh! So many haters! But this too adds to the true nature that is Rock Princess. The Rock princess is a princess of the night, but not the princess of darkness. She's not dark in an "Alice in Chains" way, but she's a creature of the night, who comes out to party like a rockstar. She's rock like a "Party Rock Anthem", shes rock like a "Rock You like a Hurricane." She takes style cues from Ke$ha and David Bowie. She's dark in a way, dark compared to her princess sisters, but not so much dark as she is just different. She's the bad girl in the company of the good girl princess line, but a princess nonetheless.

I like the princess line, particularly the original, which I do find quite sweet and girly. This however is not. It has subtle sweetness to it but it opens quite spicy (nearly unisex) and dries down to a nice soft sweet musky with a nice bit of depth and warmth. More so than any of the other Vera Wang fragrances I have tried. I love it. But for those after something younger and sweeter this isn't it.

I love this perfume. I would definitely say it is heavier than others, like Glam princess, but not so heavy that it's overpowering. It's sweet and I can definitely smell the jasmine and rose. Everything else just kinda blends it all together. I wear it all the time. I think it is more of an evening/night scent but can be worn during the day. I wish it lasted longer though.

This is quite an unusual scent. I smell the banana and coconut in it and I find the blend very interesting! I imagined something darker, though... But it smells really good, I like it, it ́s good for an easy summer day because it ́s somehow playful and sweet (but not candy-sweet). I will buy the original "Princess", too, and then I will compare them! :-)

I have to review this again because since I have had it I haven't used it and the other day I sprayed some on and I said to myself "man I really do like this one". I would repurchase I guess but for now I still have a full bottle lol! Overall I do like this alot but yet flower princess is still my favorite.

I got this 4 my birthday yesterday and I have 2 say I quite liked its fruity/floralness w/ and edge... The patchouli and the musk made it dark and mysterious just like the bottle and box suggest... The peach and raspberry are apparent as is patchouli which isnt listed here... A nice change indeed!!!

This and Glam princess are my favorites out of all the vera wang princess perfumes. (Although this one doesn't really smell like the others.) At first I thought it seemed a bit too strong and that I might not like it... but now I can't get enough of it.. and I get compliments when I wear it.

I like rock princess. It does not smell super "girly". The musk comes off pretty nicely on this one. Not too strong, just enough to still be a princess that she is. Too bad the longevity is weak. Does not stay more than 2 hours on my skin. But, I enjoy it while it lasts. :)

Smells so much like Parma Violets on my skin :) I LOVE it! Bottle and scent totally matches my style, dark on the outside yet sweet inside :) Definitely need to repurchase this, didn't realise how much I missed it!

I wear this perfume regularly because i LOVE it! When i first smelled it from the bottle i wasn't sure but its one of my faves now. Its so wearable and unique and the bottle is absolutely fab!

I bought this brand new in wrapping for only $9 (3.4 oz)! At first I really didnt care for it but this really grew on me and I came to adore it! Favorite of the Princess line.

I adore this fragrance, heavy vanilla sweet , hints of raspberry, and musky. My husband uses it sometimes I guess it’s sort of unisex?

this parfum is unique,so femmine,gentle & shic,i will bye it again,perfekt for every timewere

This can be a weird one! It takes a few tries to figure out what it is. The first couple times I tested this on myself, it was a nondescript, muddled mess. Top notes were banana, a sweet red wine and baby powder to me. Not at all what I'd imagine a Rock Princess to smell like... And it still isn't. However the notes are more discernable to me now and it's really quite nice. It's not the cottony, dark chocolate frosting that the original was, nor the crushed berry juice that Preppy Princess is. The notes that are most apparent to me are raspberry, begamot, white peach, and if you look really hard, a tiny bit of the coconut. The drydown is quiet, clean and powdery with a slight tartness from the top notes. Sillage and longevity are pretty mild. This juice can be a hit or miss so I suggest trying it out on your own skin. I find it smells best when sprayed from 3-4 inches away from skin rather than right up against it, somehow I can pick apart more of the notes this way.
