Quickie reviews of three new-ish department store fragrances: Vera Wang Princess Night, Swarovski Aura and Ferragamo Signorina.


Princess Night is the fifth flanker in Vera Wang’s ever popular Princess franchise. It came out last December, so I’m late, and I know all of you have been holding your breath through the winter, waiting to hear what I think of it…

Vera Wang has launched Princess Night. The new fragrance for women is a flanker to 2006’s Vera Wang Princess, and follows Flower Princess, Rock Princess, Glam Princess and Preppy Princess.

So you’ve grown out of Princess (and its many spawn, from Flower Princess to Preppy Princess) but you’re not ready for one of the signature (read: wedding-appropriate conservative floral) fragrances from Vera Wang, what to do? Vera Wang would like you to consider their new Lovestruck, fronted by actress Leighton Meester. The theme, as you might have deduced from the balcony scene in the ad: a modern twist on Romeo and Juliet.
Lovestruck is a musky floral with your standard fruit bomb opening (tart guava jam and citrus), a cheerful middle-weight fresh floral heart (allegedly tuberose and lotus blossom, and there are vague suggestions of both) and a pale woody-musky dry down (something that could stand in for sandalwood, a little drop of creamy vanilla, plenty of clean musk).
It’s wearable, and it’s not overly sweet or fruity once the top notes fade…
