Pop

Our verdict on Pop: Statement

Stella McCartney Pop: divisive but distinctive. While some find it a delightful-plasticky Barbie doll nostalgia trip, others can’t get past the 'hair-spray' synthetic vibe. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that celebrates youthful weirdness.

Its soft-to-moderate projection and often light longevity make it a decent choice for the office and fantastic for casual wear, as it's unlikely to offend. However, its 'girly' and 'playful' character means it's less suited for formal events or a sultry date night.

About

Pop bursts open with an unexpected green zing from tomato leaf and violet leaf, quickly layered with a clean, powdery violet. The heart reveals a creamy, slightly tropical tuberose and frangipani, lending a 'new doll' or 'bubblegum' sweetness. This settles into a soft, woody musk base, which some find comforting and nostalgic, while for others, its synthetic edge is too prominent. It's a fresh, floral, and subtly green composition with an undeniable modern quirk.
