Description
Preppy Princess is a juicy and luscious woody – fruity fragrance that combines top notes of tangerine, red apple and crushed red berries with a floral core of honeysuckle and jasmine, placed on sensual base notes of woods and coconut water.
New Preppy Princess feels like a queen feeling she was born to rule. The leader of a clique, educated, young and beautiful, she attends school on the Upper East Side and wears impeccable plaid clothing and a pear necklace …
The bottle is heart – shaped like all the previous editions, this time decorated with blue and pink plaid pattern and sophisticated pearls around the crown that is the stopper. The fragrance is available as a limited edition Eau de Toilette in 50ml and 100 ml bottles. Preppy Princess was launched in 2010.

I’m confused. This smells like a patchouli BOMB to me.

Much fruitier and sweeter than the Original or Flower Princess. I can definitely smell the berries and apple. I get a very youthful, kinda cute vibe from it. I feel it has a little bit more character than Flower Princes, but is still easy to wear, safe, girly pretty scent. This is definitely my favourite from all of the Princes flankers I have smelled so far. It is very affordable so of course I got a big bottle I don’t mind spraying liberally, but I have to say it impressed me with sillage and staying power. It projects well-around an arms length and I can still smell it after 5-6 hours. It might be a fairly common scent in the sea of girlish fruity scents, not unique in any way, but nevertheless very nice and easy to wear for everyday. I wear it on days I don’t feel the need to make a statement or attract any attention, but smell nice just for me.

“Green” and kinda “plummy” on my skin and that’s it (must be from the berries or red apple). I could hardly detect any coconut (almost like none) and vaguely smelled any woody note at all. I still like it but it is on the bottom of my Princess list. Maybe just give it more time.
Btw, mine comes with a Silver crown cap with Blue pearls adorned and I bought it from a trusted seller that I always get my very expensive, rare and discontinued perfumes from. It absolutely does not look fake or smell fake at all, just different packaging. I compared its crown cap with other Princesses’ silver caps, and it has exact same heavy metal like the others. You can definitely tell a fake one by its CHEAPLY made accessories. The slightly different version of this Preppy Princess package does NOT look cheap at all (still has its heavy cap and glass bottle with the exact same perfume quality like the bottle with Blue cap).
The same goes with some Juicy Couture perfumes as well. T.J.Maxx and Marshalls have sold them in slightly different packages compared to the ones from big department stores. They call those items “economic” packages (as they do not come with fancy accessories…). That’s why those thrift stores are able to sell authentic perfumes at much lower price to consumers who don’t care for the fancy looking of the package or don’t shop for special presents for somebody else (just like buying perfume in tester bottle without the fancy retail box or bottle cap). I bought perfumes from those stores many times and am very happy so far with all the products as I have compared their quality with the ones from the big stores. They all have the same quality when it comes to the juice inside those bottles!

I bought this for the bottle to be perfectly honest and because I love pink princess. Reading the notes I was sure I would love it. Unfortunately this just didn’t work with my skin chemistry. It came off sharp and unpleasant. It just smelled cheap. I’m so disappointed. I got absolutely no fruity notes. Very woody and masculine.
ТОхА – :
I just simply love this. And it’s one of the first perfumes my husband adored on me too. I love regular princess so I had high hopes for this and was not disappointed. I’m on my second bottle and the woodsy notes show right away in this bottle. I wasn’t crazy about that part, but they fade in five or so minutes. Love the rest and highly recommend. I do feel like an upscale schoolgirl when I wear it and I’m 45!!!! What a fun scent!!!
Meiii960JeomiWogkig – :
God what is up with people selling g their expired perfumes on ebay?! seriously guys watch out! anyway I know what this perfume is supposed to smell like and now that someone mention’s it, it is somewhat similar to mademoiselle. sacrilege I know. but this is not a sweet perfume. it’s a classic non sweet fruity floral. I think the one I got is still wearable. it’s in its “functioning alcoholic” phase I like to call it. it’s in its alcoholic yet not completely disgusting phase of its expiration
sum927Negeltzex – :
the princess line isn’t so much of young girl thing as it is a niche thing. u either love the gaudy bottles or you dont. Im enjoy collecting all of these. they are eye candy and they pop. I like all different styles and era Wang princess is one of the best of this genre. the style of the bottle was a popular fashion statement from 2006-2009. vera Wang has turned this crown bling trend into an iconic classic with her ongoing line of different colored crowned hearts.
serkov – :
This is fresh and delightful! I feel a similiarity to Chanel Mademoiselle and Miss Dior (I own both) but it is more subtle and fresher. Great for everyday wear if you enjoy those fragrances but are after a scent that is not so full on. Definitely not a sillage monster but is enjoyable to the wearer and those close to you. Very lovely indeed!
HegeJapence – :
Nothing special really. its very basic stuff for running to the grocery. I can see myself wearing this Monday through Wednesday at work. most noticeable notes are the wild berries and apples. I can somehow smell a little coconut , and what does vera wang have with putting woodsy notes in there perfumes? gezzzz Im sick of it
ribinhign – :
OoOoOoOOooOo it sounds as if they’ve tampered with this beautiful perfume. I was thinking of another purchase when I saw this at TJ’s. Mebbe not now. Those last few reviews scared me. Think I might wait!
lefey – :
Ha ha Sooo… I re purchased this from TJ Maxx as it was on clearance. Same bottle as last time, silver cap with blue pearls instead of the blue crown with white pearls, fake? I don’t know but whatever I guess? The honeysuckle REALLY stands out on me and it isn’t a favorite note of mine however with this scent what I can’t seem to let go of is the dry down. I love the clean freshness of it. As with seems to be all VW perfumes/EDT — NOT very long lasting!!
LOL and… I returned it. :/
rim567 – :
This smells more floral than fruity, to me. I get the CM and MD reference but it doesn’t last long and I “feel” that just in the opening. Not sure about the dry down yet…
The cap on mine is silver! Is this a fake??
EDIT: This is going back as I guess what I bought from TJ Maxx is a fake – it has a silver crown with blue pearls 🙁
I returned it but I had a hard time with this one as I didn’t hate it but didn’t love it…I loved the clean fresh dry down! On me this was though in the heat this is mostly honeysuckle and I am not totally crazy about this floral. If it was given to me as a gift, I would wear it happily (more in fall I think) 🙂
MSergey – :
this is my favorite out of the whole vera wang princess line
i have original princess, pink princess, night princess and flower princess. Preppy princess is my absolute favorite. its just the perfect combination of sweet, floral, clean and fresh. Its perfect to me. I definitely smell the coconut. I think this might end up being my favorite perfume ever. I ordered a sample off of scent bird tried it on and i have company over and they told me it smelled good TWICE…so immediately ordred a full size bottle. Cant go wrong with this one.
h1 – :
I couldn’t understand how this fragrance can be compared to Coco Mademmoiselle since the notes aren’t even close but I must agree this is a fruit version of CM. Strange since there is no patchouli. This is a lovely French scent.
ankud-alex – :
Wow! What a wonderful surprise! I don’t get much of the fruit in this (no coconut at all), except for a kind of sharp apple that is almost identical to DKNY Be Delicious Paris. In fact the whole creation is quite near that of DKNY Be Delicious Paris. The woodsy notes mix with the fruit notes to create a very beautiful chypre. I am a big believer in applying enough of a fragrance to get its full effect without overwhelming everyone within a 10ft radius. Usually 5 spritzes will do the trick. In the case of Preppy Princess, if it is allowed to fully develop, within 20 minutes it is quite similar in style to Coco Mademoiselle and Miss Dior (new).
jkv607Negeltzex – :
I like it…on me I can mostly smell wood and berries. I wish I smelled more of the coconut, but it’s still nice. I get a Christmasy scent from this, which probably comes from the red berries. I think it’s definitely more mature than the original princess. It starts off strong but the projection is very soft after the first 30 minutes or so, which is why this only gets a like from me.
Katuhka – :
I love it, but like all Vera Wang scents, it turns very soapy on me after a while. I love the scent of tangerine, and it’s very noticeable and natural in Preppy Princess.
scorpion21 – :
I LOVE this one… after it dries for a half hour. At first spray it’s kind of harsh. But, after it sits on skin for a while, it is so nice. Perfect blend of fruity, white floral, and woodsy, with nothing standing out too much. For me it’s a pretty unique scent.
I got it as a sample with 3 other princess scents. This one and Princess Nights were my favs. (I also got Glam and regular princess, but I didn’t love them).
yurka30 – :
look. i am 36 and i think this perfume is gorgeous. it actually reminds me of a scent my long-dead granny used to wear…so i’m not getting this whole aimed-at-teens idea. i tried it on a whim, i was looking at something else and my toddler wanted to try a perfume, so i grabbed this and sprayed it on her. i couldn’t stop sniffing her all day lol. i was at first hit by a beautiful bright bouquet of flowers that were sweet but woody, and later it dried down to a scent i could only describe as “toffee-apples”. love love love it. and i really don’t like most “young” scents, most are way to fruity/candy scented for mebut this has something wondeful about it.
viktir stal – :
I don’t like this one far too fruity. I have a 50ml for swaps if any one wants x
Svetlichniy – :
Clean, simple, generic, even a little unisex, with a touch of class. It suits the name. A little more highbrow than your usually teen fragrance, in keeping with the plaid and pearls motif. Sporty, well-read, perhaps even musically inclined. That’s the image the fragrance evokes.
I bought it in a set that included the original and and Night flanker. Those are mine.
This will be going to my step-daughter.
annaeldora – :
i own the whole princess collection and this is by far my least favorite. generic perfume. also so generic that i dont feel anything when i wear it. when i was in grade 7 i wore perfumes like this cause they were young and so inoffensive that i could wear perfume to any occassion without smelling like a prosti-tot. i have matured into liking strong room stopping, feeling provoking scents. dont buy this if you wanna be unique. other scents in the princess collection are great, the original princess would be better for anyone finding a non offensive scent.
naruto3d – :
I love the Vera Wang Princess line, especially the plaid design on this bottle ^_^ as far as the scent, on my skin it comes across as tart in the beginning to becoming very warm almost spicy vanilla and berries, I don’t smell anything woodsy but overall a great day/night scent.
modn1 – :
This perfume is the most unoriginal fragrace ever, but for some reason I still love it. For me, it smells exactly like an airport departure lounge in the duty free shop. It is THAT generic. It smells like a million other perfumes mixed together, but I always feel as though I want to wear it! However, by the age of 24, I think most girls have grown out of tacky blue rings and heart shaped bottles. It looks like something designed by a twelve year old.
I don’t know, I somehow don’t want to like this but I really do. It shows that it’s worth giving everything a try. I think this fragrance is so evocative of the excitement and joy I’ve experienced at the prospect of flying away on holiday – I simply can’t dislike it.
DarkneSSE – :
The design on the bottle seems very immature but on my skin this perfume soars. It stays forever on me and the sillage is like KERPOW. 3 sprays an hour before work and I can still smell it at bedtime.
I honestly feel like the sent is way more mature than the original, name and packaging all imply. It smells like woodsy berries on me which is great.
All around good daily wear… day into night.
I just wonder if there is a way to get all that printed nonsense off the front of the bottle? It would be so lovely if I could.
DangerSpy – :
I’m so mad this scent is discontinued! It is an amazing scent and I only have a 30mL bottle! I hope it gets re- launched someday!
Naprikole – :
I bought it blindly because u can’t go wrong with vera Wang its a good scent with a very good silliage and the right amount of warm and fresh to be just beautiful …but its not for me I used it couple times not really liking it on my skin anyone who wants to exchange it maybe for another used vera Wang?
lisalwas – :
I’m so disappointed.. Purchased this as a blind buy and was hoping for some coconut in the scent but there was absolutely none. I wanted to LOVE this perfume because it seemed perfect for me but it just smells.. so.. boring on me (and I’m 18 btw so don’t think I find myself too OLD for it). Like, it doesn’t smell like anything specific, just smells like a boring tart perfume.
Also, I DON’T find the bottle ugly or tacky. I love pink, and plaid, and hearts, and I find it cute. So does my 29 year old sister and 21 year old sister.
Overall, 4/10. 🙁
Do not recommend to anyone unless they are SUPER simple and don’t care for perfume at all.
assonserogyf33912 – :
Aside from the name, bottle, packaging and the super tacky ring, I actually really like this. It’s a nice, relaxed and inoffensive scent that is exceptionally light yet juicy on my skin. I definitely don’t get any staleness like I occasionally do with sweet perfumes. Considering it’s aimed at children, I was surprised by how much complexity and depth I get out of it. That’s not to say it’s ground breaking, but I don’t need ground breaking for daily wear; I want something inoffensive that won’t have half my co-workers asking if I was involved in an explosion at the Glade Plug-in factory on my way to the office and the other half left with migraines.
I am quite happy to wear this despite being roughly twice the age of the target demographic at the ripe old age of 24, I just wish the bottle and name weren’t so goddamned awful. I think they really prime people on what to expect from the scent, and those expectations won’t do it justice.
eom202Bessinepome – :
Vera Wang Preppy Princess is a great casual yet fun scent! Sweet red berries, juicy tangerine, and fresh jasmine with a hint of coconut and crisp red apple to a dry down of honeysuckle and light woods. It’s a young sweet scent that’s perfect for everyday wear.
wzv522Unlogrere – :
It’s light and whimsical and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Sure, it may have been marketed to the teen and college girl age, but anyone can wear it really.
The opening is lightly fruity, then it goes into the light floral heart but I mainly love the woodsy dry down. It’s got a nice ‘skin scent’ to it. Natural, clean and alluring. I definitely recommend it as a gift to a young girl as her first fragrance, but if you know someone who is mature in age and young at heart, they’d like it as well.
Sdasdfvvsv – :
I love this fragrance.. Its is fruity, orange and floral notes. I received tons of compliments from it. In particular an older males. Saying I smell good enough to eat. I have to disagree with coments saying this is for young girls. But everyones entitled to their own opinion.There is nothing immature about this perfume. Although the name may appeal to youth. I am 26 and feel sexy, and playful when wearing this. When I spray it on, I feel a sudden warmness on my skin. Its long lasting especially on summer day. It just seems to linger linger till the close of the day.I have about 3 sprays left of the 1.7 bottle. scared to spray it…ill hold on till ..I get a new bottle.
vanek1995 – :
Light, doesnt give you a headache. Great for a day when u have a hectic day and need something subtle but refreshing!
boxing0 – :
Very fruity,sweet and memorable.I think its more for the younger generation.It does smell a little woody though.I love this scent
mergadon – :
cool stuff vera wang. it is a very rad pefume with plenty of sweetness and i also get a lot of floral. a very yong pefume. ideal for a girl starting high scool. also a good one for possibly a ball. a FANCY ball.
Quietly – :
Liked it more than I thought I would… it’s a pretty, fruity concoction. Nice. There are others that are more tempting, and definitely others that are worse… at least this one is on sale for like $25 at Ross right now! 🙂
gekamaster – :
ok finally sampled this, its not bad but its also nothing special, it has a hint of coconut but its just barely there, the other notes I can’t pin point what I am smelling exactly but I just can tell that its nothing special, Princess Night is much more worth the money than this one.
Ravebrorofea – :
I stand behind spiritkind one hundred percent! I’m old and love this scent! I eat cookies too! I’ve wanted it since it came out. The kinda tacky bottle put me off a little (from the photos) and really, the bottle is quite pretty. Yes the packaging is for someone much younger than myself but I still love it. The staying power and strength are far above average so these aren’t a problem for me. This is lovely and I just can’t see why anyone wouldn’t like this. It’s fresh, bright, clean, and preppy as can be! I think the preppy is more appropriate than the princess in the name. I’m so happy I finally got this! I think this is a good blind buy if you don’t read the negative reviews or judge a book by its cover!
Staffeln – :
This is a very cute and playful scent to me. I enjoy wearing it for those casual days. It provides a welcomed change.
Pentax – :
I had a very memorable and sweet experience with this perfume. Got this as my Valentines present from my husband last year. At first he just gave me small box of facial set. I told myself ah ok, maybe he didn’t have time to get me something since he’s busy at work. Then the next thing he said is “Look, I just found something outside!” When I look at him, he was holding flowers with teddy bear, chocolates and the perfume that I really want for that Valentines ‘Preppy Princess’. I really feel like a queen more than a princess;)
Anyway, this perfume is citrusy yet sweet (not gourmand sweet) to me which I really like. The base note is powdery too. It’s not overpowering. It’s very clean, fresh and fruity. Very youthful. Perfect for summer though sometimes I think, you could wear it for night time. The only negative thing is lasting power but still a lovely perfume to me.
Frozenbig – :
it’s a very beachy, tropical fragrance to me. makes me think of a beach bunny in the most positive sense of the word. also makes me want a pina colada.
alex779933 – :
Wow I thought this smelled very boring,did not like it at all,Im guessing maybe a tween would like this,not me.pass!
аджи – :
Luscious? For me, not so much. Kind of sweet, kind of soapy, kind of woody. That’s about it. This has zero lasting power as well. It’s not a bad fragrance, I just find it a little generic and safe. It would be good for a young girl just getting started in perfume. It does smell a bit juicier when sprayed into the air. I was underwhelmed but it deserves a whiff, it could be a good fragrance to wear to work. It’s not too much of anything and definitely not loud.
yxg057Bessinepome – :
It smells beautiful and fruity when you first put it on, then when it dries down it has an almost flowery-powder smell and isn’t too long lasting on my skin. I like spraying it as a room spray rather than on my skin.
ivanliakh – :
I really cannot believe this is a Vera Wang. I think this is the best one yet. It smells so much different than the others. I think it is a fruity floral scent, perfect for a girls night out from my perspective. I totally recommend this perfume. Thumbs up to everyone who likes it!:)
beh358speagoessenda – :
I like this but it has taken several tests both on paper and on skin. The ring however is rubbish the stones fall out! I can smell a little Rock Princess in this at times. It is a smooth coconut smell in the dry down. It is very expensive compared to the regular Princess. I do want to get it because the suttle smell it has I like for every day I wouldn’t wear it out for dinner or special occasion but it is something you can put on and not think much about it. It suits my skin but I find most of these types of fragrances do. If you like skin scents than this will suit you. I don’t want to make a huge statement all the time with my perfume and I don’t care if I walk past someone and they think I smell like middle school when I am actually in my 30s. I am light hearted with a good sense of humor I don’t take my self seriously so I like this fragrance it suits those sorts of people not just young girls. There are many young girls who can’t stand this perfume so each to their own.
akai1989 – :
Why is everybody so negative towards it, it smells lovely and fresh, quite light aswell 🙂
Dmitriy147 – :
Pretty bottle, horrible fragrance. It’s sour and stale smelling and reminds me a lot of Britney’s Radiance.
Mart1z – :
It floral & I like it, but it’s completely unoriginal. When I think ‘floral perfume’, this is the exact smell which comes to mind. It’s nice & unoffensive, but overdone and boring. Not very strong either.
Aerohopleneriphv – :
After the dry-down, all I get is watermelon. Relaxed watermelon, but watermelon.
Dauddernnup – :
Wow .. The crush red berries and apple bring the sweetness on the fragrance .. The scent reminded me of romance by Ralph Lauren.. 🙂 I can see myself wearing it ..
snsurkov – :
I had a bit of a giggle over the name when this fragrance was first released. It’s obvious with names such as, Preppy Princess, Glam Princess and Rock Princess, that this particular range by Vera Wang is aimed at the younger consumers.
I’m just over the intended age group, but I’ll admit that three years ago, I possibly would have loved this fragrance. It’s a sweet scent, but thankfully not nauseatingly so. It smells like a crisp apple scented shampoo at times, with a few too many tablespoons of sugar mixed in.
It’s very girly and very ‘pink’. In my opinion it’s nondescript and somewhat average. For a young school girl, it is appropriate in the sense that it suits their age and personality, and isn’t too strong or overpowering.
Preppy Princess is a linear composition, being mostly sweetened apples, honeysuckle and tropical coconut throughout. The lasting power is not as good as it should be for the price, however I find that many of the flankers in the Princess range don’t last all too well.
According to Vera Wang representatives, Preppy Princess is an edgy yet luscious fragrance. I wouldn’t say edgy or luscious, but I’d say fruity and young sums it up pretty well.
IGUR3232 – :
I think this is just the cat’s meow! I don’t care for the bottle so much, it’s a little dime-store-ish and a bit too expensive. I sure like this though! I’d buy it…I hope to buy it! This should have been called Pretty instead of Elizabeth Arden’s Pretty. This is just plain pretty.
assurex – :
On me it’s just a nondescript fruity floral, not unlike 10 million other fruity florals on the market….nothing special, though I do like it much better than original Princess (too floral).
israfil – :
To sum it up, it’s a fruitier version of Coco Mademoiselle. (well at least on me it did) Blasphemy! i know i know, how dare I compare this to coco mademoiselle, but that’s all i keep smelling. It’s rather disappointing that this is a Vera Wang fragrance.
As others have said, it’s a “Cute” fragrance…but cute is not memorable
nagih84 – :
I don’t know but I do not like fragrances with coconut notes. I’m fine with coconut shampoo, conditioner, body gel, & lotion but with fragrances, it makes me wanna puke. The only Princess I like from vera Wang line is the Rock Princess. However, the original Vera Wang EDP is the best.
peduha – :
Preppy Princess is indeed a young scent – a burst of sweet-tart red berries riding on a cloud of blond musk and soft flowers. It is similar to Viva La Juicy, but the heart of flowers in this one doesn’t blossom nearly as much. The initial scent is surprisingly bitter to me, and very red, and the warm drydown, while pleasant, doesn’t linger as long as I would prefer.
The bottle is cute, though there’s a punky feel to both it and the scent itself – this prep princess isn’t delicate and naive, nor is she yet worldly or sophisticated. I agree with those who say it would be a good scent for a high schooler or young college girl.
alex468255 – :
Preppy Princess is weird and without any character in the beginning. A bit fruity, flowery, has some green tone to it. Coconut makes it similar to Deseo at one stage. Nothing groundbreaking, but it makes nice everyday casual finish lol xD
серега26а – :
I’m really liking the sound of this perfume! Loving all the notes! Love the plaid packaging! Can’t wait till she releases this!
smedcom – :
Just got the tester in at the store I work and had to try it out on my skin. It’s not a bad scent but it smelled just like tommy girl on me. …Middle skool…blah. That’s all I can say about that.
MakaffomE – :
I found it hard to believe (on smelling this) that it was, in fact, a Vera Wang! This lacks the depth and sophistication I usually associate with her fragrances…
It opens fresh and tart, becomes creamy and floral and has a very light woody finish. PP is clean and simple, and very youthful. The bottle and the scent together remind me of a young schoolgirl in a plaid skirt and pink blazer uniform. Young and innocent, yet full of blossoming womanhood and really not all that serious about anything. It comes on sweet and flirty, but lacks sensuality and actual maturity. Good for young ladies, but I think it would be anachronistic, like a pink pleather miniskirt on 80 year-old lady, on a more mature woman. On a teenager or a twentysomething it would be quite charming, even yummy!
Sillage: fair
Longevity: average
Overall: 2.75/5
Not really “bad”, but not really outstanding. This would make a good gift for a teenage niece, or young college girl. What it lacks in sophistication, it makes up for in it’s snappy cuteness…
31298 – :
I testd this one 2nite at Macy’s and it wasnt bad at all… Berryliscious yes w/ some woods throw in there 4 depth… Not exactly ur typical run-of-the-mill teen fragrance yet nothing exceptionally groundbreaking either… I can see this being used by the young or the young at heart like me lol…
