No.329 Glam Princess

Eden's No.329 opens with a powerful fruity rush of redcurrant, guava and pear that instantly recreates Glam Princess's showy, sweet-tart signature - this is the loudest, most extroverted part of the fragrance and it is genuinely well matched to the original. African orange flower and orchid soften the transition into a light floral heart, keeping the sweetness from becoming cloying. The base of ambrette, marshmallow, cashmere wood and cedar gives a soft, comforting sweetness, but it is noticeably thinner than the designer version's base, and the whole composition fades faster - reviewers note it doesn't have the staying power of its more reserved sister fragrance in Eden's range. Treat it as a fun, disposable party scent rather than an all-day wear: reapply through the evening if you want the fruity sweetness to keep showing up. It suits exactly the mood the name promises - bold, a little over the top, and best paired with an equally exuberant outfit.
