I Don't Need A Prince By My Side To Be A Princess
Fragrance notes
Character
Someone who wants a gourmand that leans fresh rather than heavy should take a close look at I Don't Need A Prince By My Side To Be A Princess, since lemon opens it clean and sharp before the sweetness ever shows up. Green tea and ginger keep the early minutes savory and a little spicy, a herbal, faintly bitter start before any sweetness arrives.
Peach, hedione and jasmine fill out the middle with a bright, slightly juicy floral quality, and apple adds a crisp, juicy snap right alongside it.
By the base, marshmallow, vanilla and benzoin turn everything soft and a little powdery, the fluffy marshmallow note doing most of the heavy lifting for the sweetness the name promises. Hold on skin lands in an average range, fading gradually with no sudden drop, and the throw is a modest one, noticed by whoever's standing close. There's a slightly bitter, benzoin-driven edge under the marshmallow too, cutting through the sweetness so it never feels flat. Fall and winter suit it surprisingly well for something this bright at the start, the marshmallow base giving it enough warmth to work in cooler weather.
