Stella McCartney Stella is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Stella opens with Lemon, Mandarin, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet Leaf, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Amber. Stella McCartney's Stella carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

This one's a divisive ode to the rose, blending zingy citrus and soft florals. Some find it a sparkling, feminine dream, others a fleeting lemon-scented floor cleaner. It's a 'love it or hate it' situation, but for many, it's a nostalgic, much-missed fresh floral.

Its fresh, light character and moderate sillage make it ideal for casual wear and daily office use, though some reviewers found it too lemony for work. The generally poor longevity means it's less suited for formal events or longer dates where projection is key, but its non-offensiveness makes it a safe choice for many situations.

About

Stella EDT opens with a bright, zesty burst of iced lemon and mandarin, soon softened by a delicate whisper of freesia. The heart blossoms into a light, airy rose, complemented by the fresh, slightly green nuance of peony and violet leaf. This floral bouquet rests on a subtle, warm amber base, which provides a gentle anchor without overpowering the sparkling freshness. It's a composition that aims for gentle elegance rather than bold declaration.
