The first fragrance by STELLA McCARTNEY, inspired by the fragile beauty of a rose, is contrasted by sensuality of amber.
Playing with the opposition of the masculine and the feminine as well, the bottle’s lines, both precious and sharp, frame a seemingly infinite plum dégradé.

I love this perfume. It is the perfect mix of floral, with rose and peony, with a hint of citrus (mandarin) which makes it smell uplifting to me! To be honest I am not sure that I can smell the peony much, but they are my favorite flower so knowing that it is there makes me happy!
I find that this perfume lasts for a good part of the day, although if I was going out at night I would probably use it again just to make sure :-)
I loved this perfume so much, my all time favourite. It would be my signature scent if it wasnt so hard to find. Almost finished my bottle and cant find it anywhere :(( Wears off after a while so have to apply it again but it is great for a night out.
This is a wonderful fragrance that I personally would choose to wear more in winter than summer, as for me, it tends to be slightly heavy. On initial application you get a heady smell of roses & if this is where the fragrance ended I probably would choose not to wear as I'm not a lover of rose scents, but this fragrance is full of surprises because as it warms to your skin,you get a whiff of peony & leaves a lingering warm fruity, amber like scent. For me it's a definite must have!
Tips: A little goes a long way with this fragrance,so apply to pulse points rather than spraying indiscriminately
Love it love it love it! Get compliments every time I wear it. Soft feminine fragrance! My friend used it. I bought it and she said it smelt better on me! It is one of my favorites of all times. It's just a really nice fragrance that doesn't over power you. There are other versions of Stella but I like this one the best.
Tips: With any new fragrance! Spray it on your skin first. Leave it for a couple of hours and then smell it. Don't rely on a piece of cardboard to let you know what the actual fragrance will smell like on you!
I love love this perfume and it is my standard favourite, I just struggle to find it to purchase and have resorted to online options. It's such a beautiful girly but not too girly scent. I've had a few complements on it too. I also love the bottle design, just to top it off :)
Another one of my all-time favourites. I first got the 30ml for Christmas quite a few years ago now, but I loved how subtle it was and it made me feel a million dollars. It's great to wear during the day, going out or for that special date!
The bottle is gorgeous with shades of purple. What more could a girl want
Tips: Never rub perfume into your wrists as it weakens the smell
A long time ago I picked this up from StrawberryNet and when I finished my bottle I was sure this would be the first perfume that I would repurchase. Unfortunately at this point the perfume fairytale ended. It was discontinued! I went on to try other perfumes but nothing really compared. Fast forward a few years and I saw on Sephora that it had been re-released. Still being in NZ it is really hard to get perfumes here. Luckily I had a friend (from on BR) that was heading through Dubai and offered to pick me up a bottle. My dreams had come true! I got the bottle in the 50ml size
The bottle is really nice. I like the modern classic style to it. It has a black lid and then as it goes down the bottle it fades into a purple then into clear, an ombre if you will. I really like that when it is getting down to the bottom you can see how much you have left to know when you need to repurchase.
The scent itself is the best part! As it should be. I love roses and to me this is a dusky more mature version of a rose scent. The musky-ness is actually the amber in it I think. If you were smelling this for the first time, your first thought isn't of rose. I'm not the biggest fan of this as soon as it hits my skin, it smells very sharp. But make sure you let it settle as the fragrance only gets better as it sits on the skin. This is a very feminine perfume, but I like that it is a powerful feminine scent, not girly.
For me this lasts a couple hours than I can't smell it anymore. But I'm sure that is probably just my nose getting used to it. As soon as this is out in NZ I will be purchasing another bottle as I really don't want to run out again!
30ml EDP, purchased myself on sale -- I probably wouldn't pay full price for it.
This isn't a terribly complicated perfume, but will probably garner a few "you smell good" comments. The initial blast is full on rose, but that dies down pretty quickly. For a couple of hours I get the sweetness of the amber, and it almost makes me think of candy -- it's a really well blended perfume, and I find it hard to pick out the notes. It's just like a warm hug, and has a little whiff of incense to it too. It is a totally feminine perfume, but not girly -- more sophisticated and slightly edgy.
It doesn't last very long on my skin, and I would recommend layering it with the lotion if you are really keen on it. Alone, it doesn't have much silage and sits quite close to the skin.
(If you're after something fresher and sharper, I would recommend Balenciaga Florabotanica -- rose with a bit of mint.)
My 30ml bottle is a sleeker design than the larger sizes -- the whole thing including the cap is shaped like a rectangle with the corners cut off, and is faceted like a cut diamond. It would be quite handy to travel with as it isn't awkwardly shaped.
Tips: Layer it with the matching lotion if you want it to last longer. Even plain unscented lotion might work.
Was given this perfume by my sister in law she purchased it in oz. Love the smell its very distinctive and unique and I got alot of compliments when wearing it but unfortunately ive never been able to find it instore in nz.
Tips: It can be worn daily but also on nights out its very versatile
