Rock Princess

by Calice Becker

Vera Wang Rock Princess is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Calice Becker. Rock Princess opens with Peach, Raspberry, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Lily, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Iris, Coconut, Cashmere Wood, and Musk. Vera Wang's Rock Princess carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent, love it or hate it, just like its namesake. People reckon it's either a quirky, edgy raspberry-musk treat or a synthetic, boozy mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sniff before you commit.

Its moderate sillage and often-cited 'edgy' or 'darker' character make it a decent choice for dates or casual outings. However, the divisive nature and occasional boozy or spicy facets from reviews, coupled with a lack of overt freshness, makes it less suitable for formal events or the office.

About

Opens with a juicy, energetic burst of raspberry and peach, brightened by a hint of bergamot. The heart unfolds into a soft floral bouquet of rose, jasmine, lily, and heliotrope, lending a powdery, almost vintage elegance. The dry down settles into a creamy, warm base of iris, coconut, cashmere wood, and a prominent musk, which some find unique and others, well, a bit odd. There are whispers of a boozy, spicy undertone that complicates the otherwise sweet and fruity profile, giving it its 'rock' edge.
