I think one thing to remember is that heavy fragrances don't do well in Asia because people would literally pass out in the streets if somebody wearing something like Opium walked by. Pollution and humidity crank up the smells so much that light, fruity/floral fragrances are a welcome CHANGE to the environment.

I remember a friend of mine bought the DKNY Green Apple in Hong Kong and thought it to be the best thing she'd smelled all day. The same bottle of perfume has been sitting on her shelf for two years collecting dust since she came back to Canada.

Yes, light ozonic/aquatic notes. They're light though, so it might be worth your while to give this one a shot.

Well, I bough and used Princess(the first one), and at first sniff I thought that this fragrance was extremely dull!
But since it was already sitting on my cabinet and the bottle was extremely cute(everything with a crown on top will appeal to me LOL), and impossible to find in Brazil …I decided to keep it and wear it once in while!
I started wearing it to sleep(yes, mind you I always put fragrance to sleep), I don't know what happened but the fragrance started to grown on me….and now I wear it a lot….probably my brain linked it to a moment of peace and relaxation and now everytime that I am a little sad, depressed or stressed I wear princess and I feel much better!
I still think it's a little dull, that it lacks personality, but I started to love it!
( I'm probably in the target market though…I'm 21)
Well, after my excuse (LOL) on liking princess can you please tell me something about flower princess?
When you say “watery-fresh” does it have anything to deal with ozonic/aquatic notes? Or with fragrances like cool water or L'eau de Issey? I'm slightly allergic to then…. not sure of which component exactly but I guess it's on the Lotus Flower….
Many thanks for your time
Cynthia

Shaal Nur is summery– not sure I'm qualified to write that post though!

Speaking of spring and summer fragrances – I would love it if you wonderful people did a post on spring/summer scents for people who only like typical autumn and winter scents!

I wear a lot of Shaal Nur in the summer, but that's the only fragrance I own that is even remotely summery… and it's summery only in comparison with the rest of my perfume wardrobe, I suppose.

Did the older Love scents have more personality? I can't remember. I think the deal is that back in the day, when you graduated from Love, etc, you wanted something that would make you smell older & more sophisticated…now older women seem to want something that makes you smell younger & less sophisticated…a sweeping generalization, obviously, but I think it has some truth to it.

So agree on Oilily — way more “cute” than FP.

oh my. thanks for the extensive instructions! SAVE + PRINTED. is it strange i like the melon in parfum de therese? i usually hate fruit. the FMs are costly, but totally worth every penny!

going back to the vera wang flower princess topic, i don't see it as being very kawaii. i was in tokyo last year, and the ACTUAL kawaii movement (to me anyway) was a bit high pitched, pink, and garish. it's like paris hilton and mariah carey rolled into one decorated in horrible plasticky hello kitty. for some reason, i see marc jacobs daisy as being more in line with the whole kawaii thing, complete with horrible plastic flowers.
