“I want to give women an artificial perfume,” said Chanel. “Yes, I really do mean artificial, like a dress, something that has been made. I don’t want any rose or lily of the valley, I want a perfume that is a composition.” For the first time, large quantities of aldehydes, synthetic substances, were used in perfume to lighten the heady flower notes and to raise their sensuality toward refined seduction. It is said that Ernest Beaux found the olfactory inspiration for N°5 around 1920, on his return from a military campaign that had taken him inside the Arctic Circle. During the midnight sun, the lakes and the rivers give off a very special fresh fragrance, which the perfumer was determined to recreate. In an interview given at the airport in Japan, Marilyn Monroe told a reporter that all she wore in bed was a few drops of N°5. The anecdote played a large part in sustaining the legendary reputation of the fragrance. N°5 is immortalized as an icon of the 20th century in a series of nine silkscreen prints by Andy Warhol. In 1959, the packaging secured a place for N°5 in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

”In developing In Bloom, I found myself drawn to the scents of my childhood in Tennesse. We had a great big magnolia tree in the backyard and it’s that beautiful white blossom that inspired the perfume. In Bloom is indicative of where I am in my life today. I’m feeling very strong and independent, and so happy, so full of life. The fragrance truly captures that feeling – it’s very sensual, very romantic and alluring.” – Reese Witherspoon for Avon

This scent smells deliciously sweet and makes you feel young again. It gives you the excitement of digging into a sweet treat. It reminds me of everything delicious like caramel and cotton candy, berries, florals and sweets all in there. It also has hints of vanilla.

The product description says, “Created for the playful, unpredictable, independent woman who treats every day like an event and adventure. This is a woman who likes to make her own magic, this sheer, flirty blend of water lily, lady apple, mandarin meringue, and golden apricot skin are melded with sheer floral notes, accented with dark chocolate, and finished with a pink frosting accord, amber, warm woods, musk, and vanilla – a whimsical treat.” The Vera Wang Princess actually lives up to the description. I just purchased this beautiful fragrance from Macy’s. Since then it has become my favourite scent. It is the loveliest scent I have ever smelled – soft, sweet and ultra-feminine. It is the right contrast of floral and has a little sweetness to it! This perfume is young, fresh and long lasting. Slowly it has become mysteriously addicting. I do not know how anyone can feel otherwise about this gorgeous smell. It lasts the whole day during summer. In summer there is that overwhelming need for a perfume that can make you smell good without being over powering, and this fits that need! The large bottle has lasted me a long time, I’ve had it for several months now and it’s still over half way full. I use it religiously every day! The packaging and bottle are also gorgeous. The bottle is also the cutest thing I have ever seen! I even bought this for my mom; I thought it was so great. The name really matches how it makes you feel. If you want to treat yourself like a princess, this is the way to go. Maybe you want to surprise someone with a fancy gift, will Vera Wang is a very well known designer, any girl would be happy. This is just perfect, every girl needs this! Try this, you will not be disappointed!
The bottle is so cute and gorgeous. The scent is soft, feminine, floral and sweet, just perfect, every girl needs this. It is similar to Pink sugar but doesnot have too much candy smell like Pink sugar. I absolutely love it.
