Stella McCartney

I shied away from buying another bottle for the longest time, because I was so spooked by all the hype about reformulation and terrible longevity. I bought the EDT just because I knew I couldn't cope in my heart if the EDP wasn't as I remembered.

But, here I sit and the jury is in: she's exactly the girl I fell in love with in 2010. People may say she's changed, but either I'm a fool who is delusional with love at having her back, or the small flaws simply don't register after being apart for so long. She was never a fierce, deep rose on my skin, but a light rosey-amber floating about me like a summer breeze, with gentle kisses of freesia and citrus. And that's just what Stella's giving me in 2018. Just as I remembered.

If you've been searching in vain for a replacement and haven't smelled the original in years, give her another chance. You know that others can't compare, try as they might.

I was highly anticipating this fragrance so when i saw that it was announced on Stella McCartney's website i ordered a bottle immediately. Bluebells are a very whimsical beautiful flower and i believe they are in the same floral family as lilacs and hyacinth. I have never smelled a bluebell but i have smelled lilacs and hyacinth before and i notice neither of those florals in Pop Bluebell. The fragrance has another intetesting note of tomato leaf but i cant even detect that. It has a note of tuberose too but that is nowhere to be smelled either. Pop Bluebell is like a mish mash of notes that you cant discern. The scent also does not seem to be too long lasting or give much sillage. Very disappointing as i had high hopes for this perfume. I dont like having whimpy perfumes in my collection but im going to have to rate this as whimpy. Shame. On a positive note the bottle is cute with a lovely purple cap and chunkey hefty glass.

This is okay, it's a pretty floral with a bit of a sharp note (you know I'm not good at these perfume descriptions lol). It's just not anything special to me. It reminds me of other fragrances and doesn't seem interesting enough. I prefer the EDP to this one by quite a bit. Would not repurchase.

This is a young, bright and somewhat sweet yet fresh scent. It smells very girly. I almost bought this but on some days I find it smells a bit too sweet and young for me and the staying power is not all that great though it isn't awful. It does smell pink. I don't like heavy floral scents and this one is not that, it is light and I agree has a bit of a berry scent. Pleasing but a tad too girly and young for my taste.

Was commenting on the standard stella, and saw this in the search results (was really looking for reviews of the newest one by McCartney, bought it blind). I have to immediately order another bottle of this and bathe in it. Absolutely perfect scent, only wish more people used it, so I can smell it more often :-)
