Stella McCartney Stella

This is gorgeous - possibly my favourite perfume! It's light and summery, you don't need much at all and it smells really fresh. You can definitely smell the floral notes, but there is also a hint of citrus in there somewhere. I love that this is not too overpowering ! I've always had a lot of compliments when wearing this fragrance!

Every year my UK in-laws send me Stella. I find it very hard to find a fragrance that suits me and I am very sensitive to many scents. Stella is a light, flirty and ultra-feminine scent. There is a hint of floral that is super sophisticated and is rather dreamy. I really think this is a delicious perfume for any women.

Stella is my fall/winter scents. It has a good musk to it without smelling like Nanas lounge. It has floral hints but I wouldn't describe it as a feminine scent. It is very noticeable and I will always get comments (largely from older women) about the scent, or recognizing it.

It might not be right for most which is why it doesn't get full marks for me, I think it is a smell that will polarize people... but I'm a fan :)

Along with Marc Jacobs Daisy, Stella is one of my signature scents. I have tried all the different versions but I always come back to the original.

It is such a classic timeless scent, it is a floral one but definitely not classed under the 'nana rose' type of floral. It is warm and sophisticated without being too heavy.

I usually wear this at night or in winter as it is quite intense for summer, however I love that the scent becomes more noticeable on your skin as it warms up. It is one of those perfumes that you can still smell hours after you apply it.

This perfume took me by suprise when I first tried it, my mum brought it first & I tried it reluctantly as was not a floral girl but was pleasantly surprised when I did! I loved the rose fragrance & got so many comments when wearing it. I also found it lasted well during the day but wasnt overpowering.

Not only is this Stella's first perfume but this was my first perfume too. Seems strange for a 12 year old girl to be wearing something described as "Playing with the opposition of the masculine and the feminine" instead of a sweet, fruity fragrance, however my mum used to wear it and I loved it, so she bought me my first bottle when I was about 16! This fragrance is well described and I think the fact that it has been going strong for so long reiterates how timeless and beautiful the scent is. It is mature and great for night wear. It stays on the skin all day and lasts for a very long time! I find it even stays on my clothes for a while too. A little goes a long way. However, it is not overpowering or strong it's just a subtle smell which reminds me of my mum, but has also been described as a cosy smell which I agree with. Warm and wearable, I would recommend this for people wanting to move away from the sweeter, fruity perfumes and perhaps wanting something for the colder seasons.

I have always absolutely adored this fragrance, and seeing this pop up for review has reminded me that I actually still have a roller ball of this. This is such a beautiful, feminine scent. This is ideal for day time. Although the scent is light it is very long lasting and distinctive. There is something so classy about this scent, if you haven't tried this i would recommend doing so next time your at your local store.

Stella makes the top two for my all time favourite fragrances. It has been unavailable in NZ for the past few years, and there really isn't anything remotely similar. It is the perfect combination of floral and sweet, classy and girly. It is not a sharp scent, but it does grab your attention. To my taste, no notes stand out more than another and they blend together perfectly.

Stella has just recently been released into the NZ market again, and I was quick to pick up a 100ml bottle. It smells as delicious and 'me' as ever. I love this as an everyday scent, as it doesn't scream for attention, but is still noticed by many. It lasts well on the skin - although perhaps not quite as well as Armani fragrances. The bottle is nothing fancy, but sturdy, practical and great for travelling. The final selling point for me is that this fragrance isn't widely worn. Not many people have tried it, know about it or wear it, so it is more of a signature scent. I will continue to reach for this fragrance and am very likely to repurchase in the future.

A new friend was wearing a beautiful fragrance and I asked her what it was, and it was Stella.......my husband loved it too, so we bought some on our way out of the country a couple of weeks ago. It's a beautiful, light perfume that smells of roses and lasts all day. Great for day, night or weekends. I'm usually a Gucci girl, but Stella has expanded my perfume preference into florals. You can't go wrong adding Stella into your collection.

I got a bottle with my Fly Buys points, I'd never smelled it before, but I'm glad I got it. I've never smelled another perfume like it. It reminds me of a talc powder or a really nice bubblebath lol, but it's not sickly sweet or old person smelling at all. I would buy a bottle of it again for sure.
