FRAGRANCE FRIDAY: VERA WANG SIGNATURE FOR HER AND FOR HIM - PRODUCT REVIEW

PRODUCT REVIEW: VERA WANG PRINCESS OF HEARTS EAU DE TOILETTE

Today I'm excited to share a new fragrance launch with you, Vera Wang's latest fragrance, Princess of Hearts Eau de Toilette; 

This new Princess of Hearts is described as "a bright, fresh exuberance and whimsical warmth that makes it unexpected, addictive and full of love. Celebrate life and love every day with this fruity and floral scent from Vera Wang."

The fragrance has the following notes;

• Top notes - Bergamot, Wild Strawberry, Watermelon 
• Middle notes - Lily of the Valley, Star Jasmine 
• Base notes - Vanilla, Whipped Cream, Musk, Cedar 

This is a very light fruity floral scent thanks to the watermelon and strawberry, and it is therefore the perfect scent for spring and summer. The added vanilla and cream does help make it less sweet and gives it a slightly powdery feel too, while the musk and cedar helps make it very balanced, while maintaining the its freshness.

As I prefer fresh and fruity scents, this is a perfect spring and summer sent for me. The fact that it is light, and that it is an EdT too, does mean that longevity could be better - but that said, I can still detect it by the afternoon, so if you're going out at night you may want to reapply.

Like the previous Vera Wang Princess fragrances, it comes in a stunning 3D heart-shaped bottle, this one clear, but printed all over with arty grafitti-style red hearts. Which makes it absolutely stunning. The lid, as per previous versions is a crown shaped cap with pink 'diamonds', as well as a removable ring, also featuring pink 'diamonds', which I think is intentional so you can use it as a pretty ring on your finger. But overall such a pretty bottle that will look stunning on display on any dresser.

This fragrance is perfect if you like a light and fresh fruity floral scent, or something too overpowering. I know I'll be reaching for it again and again this spring and summer, so be sure to go check it out before its too late, as it is a limited edition..

PRODUCT REVIEW: VERA WANG PRINCESS REVOLUTION EAU DE TOILETTE

Today I'm excited to share a new fragrance launch with you, Vera Wang's latest fragrance, Princess Revolution Eau de Toilette;

 

 

This new Princess Revolution which hits the Aussie shelves next week, is described as "the perfect balance of rock and romance", and it is designed for girls who are rebellious, edgy and confident: “She likes punk music and she's a bit avant-garde, and her only rule is to never follow any rules." 

 

The fragrance has the following notes;  

• Top notes- Black cherry, blood orange and watermelon sorbet
• Middle notes – Lily of the valley, red apple blossom, and jasmine
• Base notes – Atlas cedarwood and amberwood

 

This is a very floral fruity scent thanks to the watermelon sorbet which is very dominant, also making light and fresh, and perfect for spring and summer. The apple blossom and jasmine makes it more balanced adding a floral and feminine touch, while the cedar and amberwood helps avoid it being overly sweet.

 

Always preferring fruity and fresh scents, this Princess Revolution is right up my alley. And because it is so fresh and light, it also means that it doesn't quite stay put all day, but still I can continue to smell it up to 6 hours after putting it on, and hereafter it slowly fades, so I do feel that a touch up is required by mid-afternoon - but that said, that is also pretty standard for most eau de toilettes, so you really cannot fault that. 

 

 

I do find that this fresh fruity scent will be better suited for warmer days to come, but it is sure to become one of the scents that I will reach for again and again come spring and summer.

 

The Vera Wang Princess Revolution comes in the most beautiful 3D heart-shaped crimson red bottle, which has been decorated with a graffiti print featuring among others hearts, stars, lips, and crowns. The lid of the bottle features a crown shaped cap with black gems, as well as a lose ring, also featuring black gems, - I'm not sure if this is intended, but as it is lose, you can actually wear it as a cool ring on your finger. All in all this is an absolutely stunning, feminine and romantic bottle and it would look gorgeous on any dresser.

 

My only negative about this fragrance is that the actual lid, the crown, is rather lose, so if you keep your fragrances in their boxes, like I do, if you attempt to lift the fragrance out of the box by the lid, you may actually risk dropping it when it lid just comes of, which I almost did, but luckily nothing happened.

 

This is, believe it or not, actually my first Vera Wang fragrance, and I am really enjoying this scent, and if you too like fresh, fruity and floral scent, then be sure to check out this Princess Revolution from Vera Wang when it becomes available on the 10th August 2016
