Lanvin Marry Me

And we just met, too. This is one forward perfume. Ha-ha. 
Well, it may not be a diamond ring but Lanvin Marry Me is as romantic as fragrances go. It's girly and floral, but so light and fresh-smelling, getting an up close and personal whiff of the person wearing it won't make you nauseated.

Smells Like Teen Sprites (not a typo)

Libraries, used bookstores and curio shops are irresistible to me because of all the stories and movies about finding something magical in them. (To name a few: Fushigi Yuugi,  The Neverending Story and Gremlins, respectively.)  I always go into those places hoping to find magic. I think that day has come.


Creating Fairy Garden Scents by Linda Gannon immediately caught my eye because the title and cover reminded me of my Vera Wang Flower Princess perfume. After some browsing, I made up my mind to buy it.

Hippie or Hime?

If I had to choose, it'd be a tough call. I like pretty, dainty things like bows, lace, bling and pink so hime style is a huge deal for me. BUT! I also like flowers (nature's bling,) peace signs and the laid-back attitude of the flower children.

 
Luckily, I don't need to choose- when it comes to fragrance, at least. Vera Wang's Flower Princess lets me be both princess and hippie-chick at the same time.

  



Flower Princess is lighter and fresher than the original Princess perfume. You can tell that's what they're going for because there are only minor differences between the two:  


They both have the same super cute heart-shaped bottle but FP is lighter and more pink than purple;

 

And the bottle toppers which could be worn as rings are silver instead of gold.

As for scent, some might say that FP is a watered-down version of the original Princess but I like it because - not in spite- of that.   It's subtle but long-lasting.,  more suitable for our climate,  not sickly sweet or cloying and I can wear it on the hottest day without causing headaches. When I first tried it, it reminded me a bit of Clinique Happy (another favorite.) But when I did a side by side comparison, I actually liked this better than Happy.
