Vera Wang Signature Eau de Parfum for Women, 100 ml

Product Information

This is one of the best Vera Wang perfumes to take on holiday (especially if you’re looking for love on the way! I love guava notes in a perfume because they add something a little sharper and unique to an otherwise solely sweet or floral fragrance. Like I said, I've been a fan of Vera Wang perfumes for years because they're classy, timeless, and never go out of style.

In the base, the florals grow warmer and cozier, and the amber and woody notes lend the scent a delicate sensuality. When she was getting ready to get married (this was back when she was working at Vogue Magazine), she realized that there wasn’t a lot of choice for women’s wedding dresses. Vera Wang Princess is one of the brand’s most iconic fragrances, and the one that has gone on to launch a thousand flankers — or 11, at the time of writing, which includes Flower Princess, Rock Princess, Princess Noir, and Princess Night, which we’ll look at down below. To top it off, it has a muskier, woody base of sandalwood that compliments the rest of the notes perfectly. Since then, Vera Wang’s perfumes have become an essential part of her fashion line; women of all ages have grown up wearing her fragrances.

The bold florals soften into a classy, refined finish as the underlying musk and woods come into play. Founder of Scent Selective, Gideon is a fragrance entrepreneur fascinated by the world of fragrances. This would be a perfect scent for a morning wedding or a casual garden party with family and friends, or even at home as you snuggle up with a book or a show. If you’re looking for the right perfume to start your Vera Wang journey, or if you’re looking for a Vera Wang gift for a loved one, look no further. While still best for women in their teens to twenties, Princess Night is more self-assured and tactile than many of its predecessors.

The blue and violet floral notes grow warmer after a few hours, never losing their innocence as they begin mixing with the creamy base notes. Periwinkle brings an unexpected “blue” facet to the traditional floral notes of iris, jasmine, and violet. The red fruits and honeyed florals stay more or less consistent in the background of the scent for about two to three hours. Gideon is known for his love of classic fresh perfumes from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s and his inclination toward highly masculine Fougere scents.

After about twenty minutes, the powder smooths out, and the heart comes through in creamy, sophisticated white florals.

The apricot, guava, and orange bring a sunny effervescence, while the tuberose and lily give the fragrance a soft, flowery quality. The woods come through towards the end, and the jasmine and musk blend together to create a “my skin but better” fragrance that’s rich but inoffensive.

Because the base is quite gentle, you could try layering it with an ambery scent for more formal evening wear. Compared to Vera Wang’s other fragrance offerings, this perfume bottle is disarmingly uncomplicated: clean, unfussy lines, a trim title, the brand logo tastefully understated.
