At first, I think I liked this fragrance when I tried the sample, but I thought there was something a bit "fake" smelling about it. My male friends said it smells like a drunk, trashy drag queen. Jeez, that's unflattering! After trying this again later on, I have to agree, it's a bit tacky. The scent itself is not bad, but I don't think I would buy this.

A dark, sensuous perfume that is perfect for night time. A couple of spritzes is all it takes for a long lasting fragrance.

Oh gosh not this...never again. I was excited to receive this in a Vera Wang rollerball trio for Christmas. The trio had Rock Princess, Princess, and Preppy Princess. I loved them all except for Rock Princess. It smells really sour like oh I don't know...white wine? Way to strong. The other two scents are sweet and not overpowering. I'm trying to pick a favorite of the two so I can ask for a full size for my birthday. I was disappointed that I didn't like all three scents : (

My favorite perfume of all time! I always get compliments when I wear it! It was a little on the expensive side (for me at least, i usually stick with body sprays) but it was worth every penny.

The set I bought included princess, preppy princess, and rock princess. I love them all ! Rock princess smells so good, and would be a perfect nighttime scent. I think it may be a little much for the daytime, though ! Overall, i love it ! :)

This is my new favorite. I got it as a gift for Christmas but have been wanting it for awhile. I will agree that its a tiny bit strong when you first put it on but I think when it settles it smells fantastic. I believe my friend got it as the perfume/lotion/lip gloss combo at Gordman's. I know thats the last place I saw it. So far I've gotten a ton of compliments on it so I think its probably just personal preference. Some like it, some don't.

This is my all time favourite perfume. I'm so sad to learn it's been discontinued - I don't know what I'm going to do! Someone managed to track down a bottle for me for Christmas, but when that runs out...ideas anyone?

For reference, my other favourite is Thierry Mugler's Alien - they don't smell similar, but it has that same 'darkness' to it that you might like if you like this.

I was lucky enough to find the fullsize of this at Marshalls after getting a sample size from sephora. It was on mega clearance because the spritzer was broken, so i just dab it on my pulse points like i do with my BPAL. I don't get the alcohol/beer/schnapps scent like some others do and I get a lot of compliments on it when i wear it. I wish this was a permanent scent

It seems like a lot of people really don't like the smell, but I love this perfume. I ran out a few months ago, and am trying to find the smaller bottles to buy. I don't remember exactly what it smells like, but I know I wore it day and night. The bottle is cute too!

I tried this at Sephora.

I DO NOT like the smell. It smells like my Lip Smackers in Rock Candy. Very fake and I'm not a fan of the Rock Candy smell, so DO TRY IT BEFORE BUYING

I found this at Marshalls. I was so shocked to find it there. I took a chance and the following week I found the lotion at another Marshalls for $10. So I really lucked up. I can say it was a good buy for the price.I don't think I would have bought it at regular price. I give it 4 lippies because of the sale price. The smell does not last long on me. If I find it again after I run out which well take me a min. I would buy again.

My older sister and I were at Sephora because she was testing out perfumes that she wanted for Christmas, to make sure that she liked them. She's a fan of Vera Wang's Princess, but a member of our dance group wears it, so my sister didn't want to feel like she was copying her. (Personally, I say to buy whatever scent appeals to you the most, regardless if somebody you know already owns it or not. But I digress.) So when my sister saw the different Vera Wang Princess scents, she decided to try this one.


She spritzed it on, sniffed it, and made a revolted face. She asked me to sniff it, since she wanted a second opinion. After I sniffed it, I was revolted as well. This stuff smells exactly like SCHNAPPS! I mean, it smelled like she had doused herself with the bottle of Schnapps that my grandpa liked to have a shot of at family gatherings. Bleck!


About half an hour later, the Schnapps scent was gone, however, this perfume STILL didn't smell good. Oh, this scent is "Rock" Princess, alright. Wearing this, you'll smell like a groupie that was doused in alcohol from a bottle of alcohol that was being passed around at a concert. Ugh. If you want to smell like you rolled around on the floor of a bar, go right ahead and buy this.

this baby is exaaaaaaaaaaaactly the fragrance of the european (discontinued) Ultra Beauty Garnier Walnut Oil & Peach Kernel Shampoo.

Exactly.

I searched for this a very very long time. I almost cried when i bought this parfume.

Never thought Vera Wang Rock Princess would be so special since Vera Wang "Normal Princess"n smells so unspecial and stingy sweet.


LOVE IT !


by the way : MANY people ask me what i´m wearing.

here are other fragrances i like, too :

Serge Lutens Datura Noir
Vivienne Westwood Let it Rock
La Perla Eclix
Chloé
Ralph Lauren HOT

I really like this. It reminds me a lot of my nephew's Johnson & Johnson Bedtime Bath products (shampoo, soap, lotion) so I think that is why I am so drawn to it. It is a very calming smell and reminds me of cute snuggly babies! It is a little young smelling, but is still a little heavy for summer. I will probably wear this in spring and fall when it is a little cooler out. I'm sad this is limited edition, I'll definitely be careful with my use so I don't run out too soon. Luckily I only need one or two sprays to last the whole day. The only thing I don't like is the bottle, it looks sort of tacky and there is a "ring" type thing under the lid which just flies across the room every time I pull the cap off. And if I leave the ring thing off, the cap doesn't feel quite secure enough.

I've been looking for a lighter spring/summer fragrance and came upon this,which was discounted at CVS. I had not smelled this previously,so I crossed my fingers that it wouldn't be horrible.
I'm sure this perfume was intended for a younger demographic,hence the "princess" and cutesy bottle. The first note I detected smelled of beer to me,which in and of itself isn't a bad smell but not something I'd be wanting to wear as a fragrance.The drydown got better; I picked out some fruity florals and a bit of baby powder.I have no idea what the exact notes are; I'm going by what I smelled.I am thankful this didn't go by way of Britney Spears or Avril Lavigne "rock princess",or heaven forbid Amy Winehouse.I suspect then I'd be reeking of $2 wine,Cheetos and stale vomit.
This is a nice light fragrance-reminds me of something else familiar I can't quite put my finger on.Overall,I like it well enough but don't love it.

Smells great at first, but as the day goes on it gets a little too heavy for me, and the dry down is too strong, sometimes it gives me a headache.

Very disappointed that they discontinued the product. I've run out of it, and really like it. This one is a bit more alluring than Princess & Glam Princess. Although, I liked Princess it is very sweet and girl like, while Rock Princess is more grown up and sexy! LOL Jasmine is an apparent note in this perfume. Rock Princess is a day and/or night fragrance. I am a collector of perfumes, and prefer scents that have a lasting impact. While I did have to spritz more of Rock Princess on in the morning to have it last all day (hence I've run out of it already), I received many compliments while wearing this.
