Vera Wang Rock Princess ~ perfume review

Vera Wang Rock Princess perfume bottleVera Wang Rock Princess fragrance advert

Vera Wang’s little Princess has grown up — a bit:

She’d trade her tiara in for a new guitar, attend a concert instead of the prom. Introducing Rock Princess, the daring new fragrance from Vera Wang. The fragrance is a dark, fruity floral with sultry attitude and modern style. It is edgy, but seductively sweet. Vera Wang Rock Princess – the music, the spirit, the new fragrance!*

Rock Princess is the second flanker to 2006’s Princess (it follows last year’s Flower Princess), and as you can see from the ad copy, it’s geared towards a slightly older audience, presumably one that has a later bedtime.

Look aims to break out of that mold. It's tied to Wang's ready-to-wear line rather than the bridal line, and purports to be “bold, seductive and captivating” and “luxurious, prestigious and modern”:*

Look is Princess’ sophisticated older sister — but it isn’t about an age. It’s about a confidence level. It’s also making the statement that we are now a fashion house which does bridal, rather than a bridal house that does fashion. And we’re not about a skintight evening dress; we’re more artsy.*

I'll admit to knowing absolutely zero about Vera Wang's ready to wear line, but if Look's juice is any indication, “more artsy” must be interpreted strictly in the relative sense.
