Vera Wang Princess is an iconic fragrance that’s been around since 2006. Aside from its soft and feminine scent, its bottle remains instantly recognisable, with a lid that’s hard to forget.
Right now, you can get a 100ml bottle for just £26.40 at LookFantastic. That’s a huge price drop from £66, which means you’re saving 60%. Compare that to the current price of £40 at Boots, and it’s a serious bargain.
Some customers have described the scent as “feminine and floral” and “nostalgic,” and I totally agree with the latter. This was one of my go-to perfumes back in my university days. I’m not usually into super floral scents, but the notes in this one are so subtle, with just the right amount of sweetness to make it stand out without being overpowering.
Honestly, though, a big part of the reason I first fell for it was the bottle. It’s perfectly designed to sit pretty on your dressing table, with a heart-shaped glass bottle and lilac liquid inside. The real standout, though, is the lid. It’s shaped like a golden crown adorned with lilac gems, which feels so fitting for a perfume with such a regal name.
The presentation also means this would double up as a great gift, with several previous shoppers saying that’s exactly why they bought it.
The scent itself is on the subtle side, making it perfect for everyday wear. At £26.40, it’s not going to break the bank, so you can keep your more luxurious scents for special occasions.
The perfume’s got some pretty glowing reviews on LookFantastic too, with a customer satisfaction score of 4.5 out of 5. One shopper said: “Sweet and feminine. This perfume is nostalgic for me, so I’m always happy when I first put it on.”
Another added: “I absolutely loved this fragrance from the first smell. It’s really a princess in a bottle. Not too sweet but very girly, feminine.”
Of course, there are some mixed reviews on the strength of the fragrance. One review said: “I wish it lasted longer.”
If you prefer something a bit lighter, the fragrance also comes in a body spray. It’s great for tossing in your handbag and spritzing throughout the day. Right now, it’s on sale at LookFantastic for just £6.50, down from £13 – that’s half price.
In my opinion, it’s a great budget-friendly option for everyday wear.
