What does I Don't Need a Prince by My Side to Be a Princess smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It suits daily and leisure wear best, and also works for evenings and nights out. More than half of voters read it as feminine.
Marshmallow gives the scent a creamy, gourmand sweetness, which green tea cools with a green freshness while ginger adds a light touch of spice. Powdery and synthetic tones give the blend a soft, modern feel. Kilian Rose de Mai and Louis Vuitton Fantasmagory have a close profile.
