Princess by Vera Wang, 2006

Overpriced. Smells cheap and poorly blended and exceedingly artificial. Stick with Avon if you want inexpensive and simple scents.

I put off trying this one because of its name. But it's really not bad. I sampled it from a manufacturer's carded atomizer. It's fruity to me. Kinda aquatic, melony. Pleasant. It's not something that would cause me nightmares. I like it. I don't really smell any chocolate, but maybe that's because after I sprayed it, I just kinda forgot about it being there, unless I happened to wave my hand in front of my face. Pleasant. But not something that would cause me to chase someone down the mall to ask them what their scent is. Maybe in another 30 years, people will look on this scent as a "classic" and vintage bottles will be hunted for ungodly amounts of money. But somehow I just don't think so.

Princess is such a fitting name for this scent. It's sweet, pretty, girlish, charming and cute. The kind of scent that would suit a real girly-girl with a wild imagination. The opening of this fragrance has quite a gourmand feel to it. It reminds me of iced donuts, candy, chocolate and sugar. There is no doubt that this is a sweet fragrance, something that will appeal to those that like getting a tooth-ache from their perfumes. Unfortunately there are many sweet scents on the market at the moment, which doesn't leave this fragrance standing out in a crowd, however the scent itself is nicely done and definitely smells expensive. The lasting power is quite good and the drydown also very lovely, quite musky yet sweet. I can understand why this fragrance has become so popular and I believe that the beautiful packaging is also half of this fragrance's success.

¿Why Princess has everything to be perfect? Because the beautiful design of the bottle is divine, the advertising is sexy and chic, and this smell just fabulous in every girl. This scent is more complex and dark than fragrances like Paris Hilton or Britney Spears. The best thing about Princess is that you're going to end loving the sweet notes of chocolate.

It's okay. I like the floral and fruity notes, but I think it's a bit too sweet for my liking. I wouldn't use it for anything other than everyday wear.

This one surprised me. I avoided it like the plague because of the name/look of it, till I got my hands on a really cheap bottle. It's not the best out there, but it's a nice fun scent. I don't get "princess" out of it. Cupcake maybe. It's so subtle on me it's barely there, which I both love and hate. It's great for the super humid heat of summer days in the deep south. That alone makes it a great casual perfume if you're still youthful enough to get away with the "cute" factor. I do wish it had a bit more complexity, but it lasts long enough to make it a fun playful daytime scent.

I love this ! Its totally me :D
1 i wear to the club without a doubt!! Dont care what it costs its lasted me ages and i use plenty of it, last for ages to i can always smell it on my clothes even the next morning!!

Even though this scent is targeted to my age group (I'm 18) I find it to be a bit of a joke of a perfume. The bottle: heart-shaped... really, Vera? totally cheesy and ridiculous and reminds of something they sell in Disneyland gift shops. The fragrance: On wet it's cotton candy soaked in alcohol, on the drydown there's a nicer, almost yummy gourmand smell to it, but still too sweet for my liking. The lasting power is absolutely terrible. After about 20 minutes I can barely smell it unless I put my nose reallyy close to my wrist--on my neck, forget it.
Overall, I don't hate Princess because at least it's not an obtrusive smell-me-before-you-see-me type of fragrance , but it's definitely not something I'll buy a full size bottle of either. This is a weak, generically sweet and almost "passive" perfume. Great if one's a sweet, super girly girl at heart. Not so much for anyone else.

All in all I'd say Princess is a flawless scent. It's not the best female fragrance out there but it certainly deserves its tremendous success. It smells delicious, with just enough dessert, floral, and juicy-fruity aquatic elements to keep it from being singular in style or overbearing in any way. It would probably smell good on anyone under 50. Excellent stuff, and three cheers for Vera and the Princess line for making flankers that are actually worth buying.

Yes, it's awesome and scrumptious. If you find this first before others, grab it and cherish it. However, I found this after finding Midnight Fantasy and felt like Princess is too full of what hits me as a cherry accord. Love Midnight Fantasy much more, although it's a bit darker than Princess. For a lighter perfume, D&G 18 beat many others for floral fruity. Princess is more fruity floral. Again, very well done but easily redundant depending on what you have, and it's likely you already have something like this.
