When it comes to designer perfumes that will have stood the test of time, then Vera Wang’s Princess has earned its status as a bestseller over the years.
Hailed as a “true gem”, this oriental fragrance has been a fan-favourite since it was first launched in 2006. If you want to bag a bottle for less, you’re in luck, as Amazon has reduced it by 70 percent ahead of Black Friday – but not for long.
A 100ml bottle of the Princess Eau de Toilette usually retails at £60, but has since been reduced to just £17.99 – making it a whopping £41.01 saving off the RRP. With Christmas just around the corner, Amazon’s deal is the perfect opportunity to bag a gift for less.
This significant markdown makes it one of the best deals out there, especially considering the 100ml Princess scent is priced at £24 on Superdrug and £18.99 at Boots. However, if you miss Amazon’s ‘limited’ deal, then the Perfume Shop also stocks it at £17.99.
Vera Wang’s legendary perfume is said to embody “the essence of a modern day princess”. Hailed for its magical blend of floral and fruity notes, it as the perfect “versatile” and “feminine” aroma that offers a “seamless transition from day to night”.
Opening with a light and sweet bouquet of apples, water lilies, and apricots, this perfume transitions to a heart of pink guava, Tiare flower, and dark chocolate for those seeking exotic and complex notes. With a base composed of amber and vanilla, it provides a smooth, musky undertone that adapts to any occasion, reports the Mirror.
It’s not just the scent that fans have come to know and love, as the “pretty” purple heart-shaped bottle has become an icon in its own right. Featuring a removable crown-shaped top, it is an elegant addition to any women’s vanity table.
Celebrated for its lasting quality, the Princess EDT has earned a stellar 4.6 rating based on over 52,000 Amazon reviews, with glowing praise for its “enchanting” scent that wearers say gets them complimented.
One perfume fan said: “It’s a lovely scent, very pleasant when I want to smell nice but not make a big statement about it. I’ve had people tell me I smell nice while wearing it”.
Someone else gushed: “Use this perfume for work, lovely smell and lasts all day long. I have purchased many times.”
Another review read: “A true gem in the world of fragrances. Its enchanting scent, versatile nature, stunning packaging, and long-lasting allure make it a must-have for anyone seeking to channel their inner princess. Embrace the magical charm of this fragrance and revel in the feeling of royalty it brings to your everyday life.”
Another shopper praised: “I bought this perfume for my 13 year old niece. She LOVED everything about it. The pretty, heart shaped bottle and the fresh, clean smell. I think it’s age appropriate for teens and older women. It was also on special and really great value for money.”

The fruity scent hasn’t been admired by many older women, as one suggested it was more suited to the “younger” generation. The review read: “The bottle itself is big and very pretty however I am not crazy about the scent. It smells fruity, it’s very similar to Katy Perry’s purr. I think a younger girl would love this.”
