Rock n' Roll? No, more like rocky road chocolate.

I was pressured by a sales assistant into trying this fragrance because she thought it would suit me. I must admit that I was actually offended that she would suggest me sweet and candy-like fragrances based purely upon my young age.

I might be 18, but this fragrance certainly does not have me hooked. It's not like it's an unpleasant fragrance, because it's not, however the older I become the more I distance myself from 'teen' scents.

Like a reviewer mentioned on another site, this isn't the fragrance for a rock chick. It's more suited to a young girl with a love for sweet, flirtatious and innocent smells.

It's flowery, it's sugary and it's definitely not for me.

The lasting power is so-so, however try layering it with the matching body lotion, I saw a slight improvement with the scent and the lasting strength when I layered the two.

Muzak Princess

MUZAK PRINCESS would perhaps be a more apt name for ROCK PRINCESS, as it is quite clear that the perfume police have been exerting their mediocritizing influence behind the scenes chez Vera Wang. It's a bit hard to say what precisely ROCK PRINCESS is a faint shadow of, but I'd venture to say something between Jesus del Pozo IN BLACK and LOLITA LEMPICKA. Whatever the ostensible notes of this composition are purported to be, what I smell is a weak and flimsy, lightly licorice-laced solution, approximating the result one would obtain by soaking a rope of artificially flavored licorice in a liter of water for a couple of hours. The solution would be tinged gray, thus matching the glass of the bottle in which it is housed—to my mind, the sole aesthetic virtue of this entire ill-fated flanker production—and it would retain a smattering of the taste of licorice. But would anyone really want to drink it?

The real question, even mystery, in all of this is: why? ROCK PRINCESS is so obviously synthetic (along with its namesake, and now, induction suggests, probably the others as well) that making a stronger solution would hardly have been cost prohibitive. Hence my inference to the best explanation: there must have been an intervention by a member of the undercover perfume police corps. (Or was it just the FDA?)

Tween Scent

When it was first launched, the ladies at the perfume counter gifted me about 40 samples of Rock Princess because they absolutely adored my 10 year old self. I wore this to school every single day, up until the samples finally ran out, and by then it had become impossible to find in the UK. I distinctly remember it smelling fruity, but with this spicy edge to it that gave it that faux-punkish smell that I absolutely adored as I constantly blasted Paramore and MCR.

Got a whiff of it recently and now it just smells rancid -- like an empty bottle of wine left out in the heat.

Bad Romance

I reluctantly interrupt the general enthusiasm here, which is what initially prompted me to test it, and I already cautiously pull my head back. Maybe it’s again due to my strange skin chemistry, or perhaps my expectations were inflated by the enthusiastic comments. In any case, Rock Princess had neither a mood-lifting effect on me, nor did it bathe my surroundings in a pink light; I received no compliments from strangers, and I didn’t feel the urge to pounce on anyone after spraying it.

This Rock Princess is like a precocious little sister of Petite Chérie, with which I also don’t connect. For me, RP revealed itself as a jam-sweet fruit scent that may consist of higher-quality ingredients and perhaps was mixed with a bit more love than its countless counterparts from the drugstore and mainstream fragrance shelves. But fruity-floral-sweet remains fruity-floral-sweet; no amount of cashmere wood or cute bottle can change that.

The color corresponding to this fragrance is a bright pink, and if it were a piece of music, it would be a catchy tune by Lady Gaga: Ra ra-ah-ah-ah Roma roma-ma … . I know, Lady Gaga is good, but I still don’t like her chart hits. Therefore, I gladly leave Rock Princess to all those who can be happy with it. It must smell fantastic on you.

Lady Gaga feat. Tom Ford

The thick peach on drums sets the rhythm, the 'musty' coconut plucks the bass, and the overripe raspberry plays sweet, dark chords on the electric guitar.

After what feels like a half-hour introduction, SHE is finally carried in, in an oversized flower basket, her outfit, Madonna's chrome corset and tattered black hot pants.
Jasmin, stage name: Lady Gaga, begins her biggest hit "Black Orchid Romance" in the Tom Ford Extended Remix! The audience goes completely wild,
and so do I.

A thousand thanks Murcie, your Lady has an honorary place! ;)
