I was really excited to be given a freebie sample of Vera Wang's newest fragrance Preppy Princess.
The bottle is simply adorable, but looked so much like something you
would find in stores designed for little girls ages 2-10. It's got a
plaid look to it, with brushstroke splashes of blue lines running around
its heart shaped bottle.
The perfume inside is pink, and when I thought about the name, Preppy
Princess, I imagined it would either smell like clean linen, candy, or
flowers due to the cotton candy color the perfume is.
At the very top of the bottle there is a cute little blue crown shaped topper.
Although the bottle is very childish looking, it is one I would keep
on my dresser once the perfume ran dry. It's cute enough to keep around,
like all of the Princess bottles by Vera Wang.
Preppy Princess is the 4th Princess perfume in Vera Wang's growing
collection of princess fragrances, and I have to say, of the ones I have
tried I have not been to impressed with the collection as a whole. In
fact, why they continue to release these is beyond me.
At any rate, when I finally got around to inhaling Preppy Princess, I
have to say that this one, by far, is the absolute laziest fragrance in
the Princess collection.
Why is that?
Well Vera Wang, Preppy Princess, smells just like soap. There are no
additives I could detect that would give it a mixture of fragrances; it
smells like straight up soap. A cheap bubble bath even.
It's a clean scent sure, but go take a bath or shower, rub on some
lever 2000, and you will smell just like Preppy Princess, for an even
longer amount of time, because Preppy Princess has as much lasting power
as cheap bubbles in a bubble bath. It fizzles out in seconds. There is
no fading of scents, no blending of fragrances, just one powerful shot
of being blasted in the face with bubbles, and then it is gone.
If you planned on picking this one up, test it first. If there are no
testers available, then walk away and save yourself a heap of cash.
