Rebellious Sweetness
Princess rewrites the story of the gourmand perfume — not a fairy tale, but a manifesto. It’s sweetness with an attitude, a marshmallow cloud laced with spice and confidence. Behind its flirtatious name lies a sophisticated layering of modern musks, soft florals, and creamy vanilla that feels both comforting and subversive.
The fragrance opens with a burst of ginger and green freshness, quickly melting into a heart of tea, jasmine, and powdery heliotrope, wrapped in a warm cocoon of vanilla, ambrette, and ethereal musks. It’s playful yet deeply sensual, a scent that lingers like a whispered dare.
🔬 Formula Highlights
- Helvetolide, Macrolide, and Ambrettolide create a radiant, skin-like musk foundation.
- Methyl Dihydrojasmonate and Benzyl Salicylate provide floral transparency and volume.
- Vanillin, Ethyl Vanillin, and Ethyl Maltol weave the marshmallow-vanilla core.
- Iso E Super and Ambroxan give the blend its diffusive, silky modernity.
- Subtle notes of ginger, nerolidol, and caryophyllene add the spicy-green tension that keeps it alive.
✨ The Result
Sweet, fresh, and quietly defiant — Princess is not about being saved.
It’s about owning softness as power, sugar as armor, and warmth as strength.
A scent that proves innocence can still burn.
