Vera Wang Rock Princess ~ perfume review
Vera Wang’s little Princess has grown up — a bit:
She’d trade her tiara in for a new guitar, attend a concert instead of the prom. Introducing Rock Princess, the daring new fragrance from Vera Wang. The fragrance is a dark, fruity floral with sultry attitude and modern style. It is edgy, but seductively sweet. Vera Wang Rock Princess – the music, the spirit, the new fragrance!*
Rock Princess is the second flanker to 2006′s Princess (it follows last year’s Flower Princess), and as you can see from the ad copy, it’s geared towards a slightly older audience, presumably one that has a later bedtime.
The juice has been tweaked to match. It’s still a fruity floral, but as advertised, it’s darker…
Vera Wang Rock Princess ~ new fragrance
Vera Wang will launch Rock Princess, a limited edition flanker to 2006's Vera Wang Princess, this coming April under the tag line “You Rock….the music, the spirit, the new fragrance”. The new “dark” fruity floral fragrance follows last year's Flower Princess limited edition.
Rock Princess was developed by perfumer Calice Becker, and the notes include white peach, raspberry, bergamot, heliotrope, rose…
Vera Wang Look ~ perfume review
Look is Vera Wang's latest fragrance for women. Vera Wang, of course, is best known for her bridal wear, and the fragrances (with the notable exception of the wildly popular, geared-towards-the-young Princess) have been squarely in the bridal mold: pretty, romantic, essentially conservative. Look aims to break out of that mold. It's tied to Wang's ready-to-wear line rather than the bridal line, and purports to be “bold, seductive and captivating” and “luxurious, prestigious and modern”:*
Look is Princess’ sophisticated older sister — but it isn’t about an age. It’s about a confidence level. It’s also making the statement that we are now a fashion house which does bridal, rather than a bridal house that does fashion. And we’re not about a skintight evening dress; we’re more artsy.*
I'll admit to knowing absolutely zero about Vera Wang's ready to wear line, but if Look's juice is any indication, “more artsy” must be interpreted strictly in the relative sense.
Look opens on fresh, sheer, fruity citrus with “watery greens”; it's sweet and apple-y, but too light and crisp to approach cloying…
Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles 2008, part 7
More limited edition collector fragrance bottles, with the usual disclaimers: in most of these cases, the juice is unchanged, just the bottle is “special” (or not, as the case may be), and some of these may not be available in the US.
