Stella McCartney

A few years ago I started my obsession with collecting perfumes that I love. This is one of the first items that I purchased on eBay. This had potential to become my signature sent but for the fact that it only lasts on my skin for 45 minutes no matter how much I overspray. In my opinion it is one of the best smelling perfume since Chloe but that longevity kills me. It's so bad that I'm on here reading other reviews to see if everyone has this problem or if I was sold a fake. If I'm the only one with longevity issues I might repurchase this just in the event mine is a fake. I'm actually hoping that's the case because since that time that I bought this I have purchased three other Stella perfumes and all three of them last at least half a day. This one is the only one that I have longevity issues with. 45 minutes at best is Criminal. So I'm on the mission to read all your reviews to try to determine if what I have is a fake. I love the aroma if it only lasted

Although MUA's picture here isn't correct for this product, I am reviewing Stella Eau de Toilette. This scent is very boring to me, a very single note fragrance when first sprayed and there is nothing complex about it. This could be a good thing since it has absolutely no staying power. 2 sprays are gone within an hour. Who wants to spend decent money on a fragrance that doesn't last? It seems to me, this may be the 'norm' for many new fragrances today - the makers rush to get any thing new out to market quickly; this is certainly not a mark of a good fragrance made with quality ingredients.

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 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 :-)
