A Year of Smelling Like Cinderella/Ariel/Jasmine/Belle

So as I said in a previous post, my lovely boyfriend buys me a new perfume every year for Christmas. I waited this long to post a review so I could make it as fair & truthful as possible!

So this year the perfume selected for me was:

Vera Wang Princess

And the lucky girl that I am, I was not just given the bottle. I got given alot of varioius Princess products, all presented in this rather fetching box

I need to find a use for this box, as I think it's too pretty
to end up being recycled into loo roll.

Inside the box was two bottles of perfume, a Foamy Body Polish & a Satiny Body Lotion. Even though I appreciate getting the assorted paraphernalia along with my annual perfume, I never really see the point of them. I think it's overkill to have a body wash, moisturiser & perfume with the same scent. But this year I quite liked it as I love the little itty bitty version. I will treasure it forever & clutch it in my hand whilst pretending to be a giant (old school reference to Monica from friends).

Please excuse the nails, no nail varnish in hospitals!

Now to the perfume (can't believed I've rambled this long without talking about it).

I think the bottle is cute (maybe even a bit too cute), it is heart-shaped bottled with a gold embellished crown for a lid. I do think it's pretty, though it's quite teeny bopper. It has grown on me a lot though as I'm quite a girly girl and now I think it looks quite pretty on my stand. 

The scent is very vanilla-y. My friend who is quite the perfume conoseur says it also has "strong notes of dark chocolate with just a hint of guava", I'm sure she's right but I just think it smells sweet! It is definitely not a sophisticated scent, but it is ideal for day wear. It also has very good staying power, so if you're a multi-sprayer be cautious! 

Conclusion:

I would never have chosen it though I have grown to really like it. Even though I would not reach for it on a sophisticated night, it is suitable for every other occasion. I do like it, but I don't love it as much as last year's perfume, though I can't see myself loving anything else that much! So, all in all, I would recommend it for girls who love sweet smelling perfumes. 

I'm such a loser I'm already excited about what I'm getting next year. Only 326 days to go!!

What perfumes are you wearing at the moment? What are your favourites?
