Princess Eau de Toilette — Vera Wang
Eau de Toilette (EDT) from Vera Wang.
Scent description (editorial impression)
Bought at fifteen and remembered at thirty is the shape of this record. The bottle does some of the work — a heart with a crown for a stopper — and what comes out of it is apple and apricot turning to guava, then a chocolate-vanilla close that owners name cupcakes, white chocolate cake and fruit ice cream in turn. Some wear it to work, one of them waiting tables in it; others keep it for summer. The argument is over staying power: a longevity mark of two and a half out of ten sits beside owners who get eight hours, and the wish that it lasted longer runs through report after report. Its critics are blunter, calling it a cute bottle around a dull perfume.

- Reports differ on changes between bottles — One wearer sets one bottle against another. She knew the scent from a sister-in-law's bottle as young, light and powdery, and found the one she was sent was not the same — clean enough, she writes, that she took it for something her husband would wear. Against that, a buyer in 2026 who had wanted it since school reports that it smells exactly as she remembered, and a Parfumo reviewer who met it again after ten years and no longer cared for it puts the change in herself rather than in the bottle. Vera Wang's page records no reformulation.Princess Eau de Toilette - customer reviews

One wearer sets one bottle against another. She knew the scent from a sister-in-law's bottle as young, light and powdery, and found the one she was sent was not the same — clean enough, she writes, that she took it for something her husband would wear. Against that, a buyer in 2026 who had wanted it since school reports that it smells exactly as she remembered, and a Parfumo reviewer who met it again after ten years and no longer cared for it puts the change in herself rather than in the bottle. Vera Wang's page records no reformulation.
How can I tell whether a bottle of Princess Eau de Toilette is the current formulation?
A batch code alone does not tell you which formula is in a bottle.
To check a particular bottle, ask Vera Wang or the retailer about its batch code. Owners' side-by-side comparisons are not confirmation from the house.
