Amazon shoppers are praising a designer perfume that has been slashed by almost 70% for Prime Day. The 100ml bottle of Vera Wang's Princess ordinarily retails at £66 but has dropped to just £19.98 on Amazon, undercutting discounted prices at Boots (£20) and The Perfume Shop (£19.99).
Fragrance Notes and Profile
The fruity floral fragrance opens with vibrant notes of lady apple, waterlily and apricot, which greet the wearer immediately upon application. It then mellows into a heart of pink guava and Tahitian tiare flower, notes frequently associated with holidays and tropical scents. The base brings everything together with wild tuberose, dark chocolate and vanilla chiffon, resulting in a delightfully sweet, subtly floral scent that, according to reviewers, guarantees compliments.
Customer Reviews and Ratings
Vera Wang Princess Eau de Toilette has accumulated an impressive average of 4.6 out of 5 from 57,283 global ratings on Amazon, with 79% of reviewers awarding it a full five stars. One enthusiastic reviewer commented: "Smells gorgeous. I can't believe how low the price is for such a nice perfume! Always get complimented and asked what I'm wearing when I use this." Another customer purchased it as a gift for their daughter and noted: "I bought this perfume as a gift for my daughter. For the price, this is a great buy! The scent is fresh, warming and my daughter truly loved it! Over 53K buyers cannot all be wrong."
Mixed Feedback on Longevity and Scent
One dissatisfied shopper felt the fragrance lacked intensity, remarking: "It's a nice perfume but the smell is a bit faint, it's a bit too subtle and doesn't last very long. Really need to sniff to figure out the notes." While another found it remarkably long-lasting but was let down by its lack of floral qualities, stating: "It certainly does not smell flowery, it smells like something a woman in her 60s would wear - a very deep and heavy vanilla like smell. It does last long, put it on in the morning and could smell it all day."
Detailed Review from a Long-Time User
One particularly thorough reviewer offered a detailed assessment: "This is the perfect 'every day' perfume! I've loved this perfume for years and honestly it never gets old. It's such a pretty, youthful scent. Sweet without being sickly, and just the right balance of fruity and floral. You get that first note of apple and guava (which is fresh and juicy) and then it settles into a softer, slightly warmer vanilla base that lingers on the skin. Honestly, I think this is one of those perfumes you can wear at any age if you like a sweet but classy scent. For me it's just an easy, feel-good fragrance that always gets compliments. Love it!"
Alternative Fruity Floral Options
For those who prefer a more prominent apple note, Kayali Eden Juicy Apple could be worth exploring, starting at £28 for the 10ml bottle. It features notes of juicy red apple, vanilla flower and floral jasmine. DKNY Be Delicious is another timeless option within the fruity floral category. It combines fresh apple with crisp cucumber and a heart of magnolia and rose, creating something that was ahead of its time. It is currently priced at £40 at Boots for a 50ml bottle.
