I Don't Need A Prince By My Side To Be A Princess By Kilian for women and men

It’s nice, a “green” floral marshmallow scent. Has a freshness to it without being too harsh, the marshmallow is very light almost clean like. I find the jasmine to be prominent. You do get a blast of citrus in the beginning. Nothing really special, definitely not worth the price it is but it is a nice scent. It is very soft too and lasts maybe 3 hours.

Located in US, looking to purchase a 100mL in this old style bottle. I regret selling my collection so much… I love Kilian but it’s just a huge bummer that we have to pay 100mL price for 50mL of juice.

This was everything I wanted out of LDBS and more. This one smelled to me like a marshmallow sweet vanilla with hints of citrus and and spices while LDBS gave me a very synthetic candy necklace smell which I didn't enjoy.

I think it would be a solid sweet gourmand for anyone who loves sugar and vanilla scents. The longevity isn't bad but I found the sillage very intimate. Would be nice for an office or an environment or somewhere where you want to smell nice but need to keep it to a limited space.

It reminds a lot of Sweet Tooth - it lacks the chocolate element but I found myself thinking about it a lot while wearing it. Princess is more complex, well balanced, and I think overall a better scent...but I still find myself reaching for Sweet Tooth more for reasons I can't quite articulate. I wish Princess was a bit stronger with more sillage as I think it would be a clear winner to me, but for its price point there's quite a few beautiful sweet marshmallow gourmands out there and I'm not sure it's worth it. Nonetheless I quite enjoy it and would recommend it to those who price isn't really a consideration.

Good option for gourmand lovers
It's so pleasant, that i almost fell in love
Strawberry, sugar, smth like Love Don't be Shy
But this one is much better:)

Every now and then I spray this fragrance on and I feel like I am missing out cuz I do not get the bizarre hype. The fragrance smells sweet, it is nice and it is Kilian - I think I answered my own question. If this fragrance was a drugstore brand, the comments would be: childish, linear, too sweet, no umph, boring, not worth the money, no projection, no.,...blah blah

This is a lovely scent, that sits very close to the skin. Don't expect compliments because it barely projects. You would have to over spray and with the price it hard to over spray. The cardamom is not listed as a note but I smell it here... Great early fall and spring scent

smells exactly like mochi to me ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎

cozy, powdery, soft matcha scent. the green notes make it stand out from the ocean of gourmands. it's cute, adorable, modern.

A hot, marshmallow matcha latte with soy milk. This is what it smells like to me. I am a gourmand lover and I love marshmallow scents, so I wasn't surprised when I realized I loved this fragrance. It's a good staple to have if you're a matcha, marshmallow, gourmand lover. I believe it's on the least expensive end of Kilian's fragrances. Overall, it's a good buy. The sillage is promising and the projection is quite strong. You'll smell sweet all day with this fragrance. Sometimes I like to overspray and ensure I can smell extra sweet all day long. It's a fun, cute fragrance. It's not very mature, but it is definitely something worth buying if you enjoy the notes and like to smell like candy. Good date fragrance, as well.

I’ve had this perfume in my collection for awhile but just recently upgraded to a full bottle after going through multiple travel sprays because I can’t stop reaching for it! At first spray, you’re hit with lemon, but the perfume quickly softens into a warm (and slightly spicy due to the ginger) tea scent. After about an hour, the marshmallow takes over. Okay projection & get around 5-6 hours but tend to overspray with this one

For one second I got a hit of citrus. And then it took me back to play with 7 year old me baking clay in my easy bake oven...you know that unmistakable chalky scent which I can only attribute to the green tea matcha layered with an overly sugary sensation of marshmallow powder. No real fruit or floral notes came through. Gourmand-lovers give it a go and let me know.

This smells like old fashioned Buttercream cake frosting sprinkled with Matcha powder. Like those of the birthday or wedding cakes of the 1970's. It smells nice but nothing I would miss when its gone. Great for cool spring days or night. May be overkill for the summer

Is this the weaker smelling version of flowerbomb ruby orchid? That's what it smells like. AM I wrong.

I love this! Its really hard to describe in my opinion, but I think the marshmallow matcha picture fits pretty well. It was love at first sniff, and has continued to grow on me since then. I think this is definitely more of a fall weather scent though. Although I love the profile, I don't think its light enough to wear in the summer time.

I just wanted to say that it doesn't have the same strength as before. Maybe I got used to it, but when it first came out, the perfume felt more intense and long lasting.

It is my most cozy, delicious, and unique fragrance I own. I also like Nectar by Victor and Rolf. But that is a more sensual one.

This is beautiful because it has a "tea and cookie" aesthetic. I feel very pampered wearing it. It calms me down and reminds me of a day under a fluffy duvet sipping a warm drink and eating a treat.

Very fluffy and a natural type of sweet, nothing harsh or screechy. Warm.

I’m somewhat particular about my gourmands. While I love anything with vanilla, sandalwood, or almond in the base, I can’t stand vanilla when it is too heavy and has a marshmallow or caramel note of burnt sugar. This is why I am not sure if I like this fragrance, although the matcha note is nice. I’ll go with Un Ete by Obvious for a matcha tea fragrance that is more lactonic without the heavy marshmallow note.

A sugary sweet marshmallow backdrop is really the mainstay of this one. I get a blink-and-you-miss-it citrus right up front but it is hardly worth the mention. I'm probably one of the only ones not on love with the front side of this fragrance, it is 'youthful' almost to young teenage level.

The surprising 180 degree turnaround, for me, is with the green notes that come through in the drydown. The sweetness lightens up and it becomes FAR more balanced. Yes, it is a skin scent by this point, but it is actually one of the best skin scents I have ever found! Incredibly beautiful, light, stunning!!!

Simple and sweet marshmallow fragrance with a few green-ish notes hanging out in the background. To my nose, the dry down smells EXACTLY like the dry down of Fantasy by Britney Spears, a couple of other reviewers have said similar. This is expensive for what it is, I like my D&G Pour Femme a lot better as a marshmallow fragrance but Princess is still lovely.

At first fell in love with this perfume when I smelled it and I Sephora traveling in New York, and the travel size bottle lasted me over two years. I always got compliments on it and it does wear very well. It could be a little bit more long lasting for the price but I just re-purchased the second travel size and don’t regret it one bit. I took it with me when I went to Mexico and got so many compliments on it. I love the sweet Scent, that’s not sickeningly, sweet and very classy and mature vanilla. I don’t get the Lemon notes however.

This is my staple fall and winter fragrance day or night . It smells like matcha tea with marshmallows on top. It’s so cozy yet still beautiful and sweet and feminine to me. It’s my absolute favourite fragrance and I will
Never be without it. It makes me feel cozy happy and beautiful

I have LDBS and while that one is like a powdery marshmallow / sweet heart candy overdose this is more of a creamy marshmallow. It is smoothed out by the lemon and ginger and matcha and peach. While this doesn't smell too in any of those directions, they just make it more of a creamy marshmallow rather than too powdery or super sweet. @Carrotlyn is completely right when she says "It smells like a matcha milk tea boba with marshmallow fluff and a ginger drizzle over the top". On me this is like a pretty good strength for 5/6 hours then it just lingers on your clothes all day but not super strong. LDBS is a heavy hitter that lasts for multiple days for me.

LDBS is good for layering powdery marshmallow with another fragrance to sweeten it and Princess is a great signature fragrance on its own. I don't even like gourmands or caramel or anything too sugary sweet but this is SO beautiful.

Personally love the branding xD

But on me, all I get is that delicious milky marshmallow. Not much else to it. And yes, the performance is abysmal.

So I finally gave in after all these years.
I tried to be satisfied with dolce and gabana pour femme but it’s not the same. Princess is much more airy and fluffy. It just makes me feel good even though projection is limited. I got it at a discount because I was not going to give in to the price hike.

What @e3133 said! A beautiful marshmallow matcha tea fragrance and trust me they go together beautifully!

Smells like those matcha jelly filled hello kitty marshmallows. Just absolutely perfect (despite the eyeroll-inducing branding)

I love this fragrance! It opens beautifully with a not so lemony lemon, and dries down to a sweet vanilla marshmallow that is not overly sweet but makes its presence known. The day after I can still smell it subtly on my skin which was super nice. The perfect marshmallow scent, not thick, just right.

During the Sephora Save 20 sale, I purchased this fragrance after smelling about 50 perfumes. I was worried I wasn't going to like it the next day since my palate was so overwhelmed with all the different perfumes but it turns out I knew what I was doing and picked a good one (it's also great to get 20% off Kilian!) Honestly, at first when I got home I was a little confused by the fragrance because I detected things in it that I didn't notice before like the green tea and the ginger. Hmmm??? A gourmand with green tea and ginger? After spraying it a few more times I started liking it more and more. There was something unisexy on the dry down as well. The dry down is where those base notes come out and shine and they are swoon worthy. I detect a sexy muskiness in the dry down too so I was surprised to not see it listed in the notes. I also had no idea that this frag has an almost cult like following when I bought it and that I was purchasing the new bottle after a 2 year hiatus from the market. Thank god they got rid of those tacky bottles and put it in a standard Kilian bottle. Also, Sephora just refers to it as Princess, as do I. The long ass name is kind of ridiculous, but I guess it's also cute. I just love how this doesn't smell like anything else. It's a green tea Frappuccino with extra whip and marshmallows mixed with a little freshness on the side with the ginger, citrus and peach. I don't get much of the floral notes or the peach but I do get the freshness and I attribute it to those notes. Kudos to Kilian for creating this scent profile. I wear it sometimes with Fenty Cinnamon Bun body butter and it's divine (as recommended by Jaclyn Hill.)

Very cute and girly scent. It has a lemony zesty ginger floral intro that leads to a vanilla marshmallow drydown. I love the drydown but the first hour is difficult to me. I think the ginger/floral combo in the beginning is a little bit cloying. However, that phase doesn't last too long.

This smells freaking delicious.
I get a bit of the ginger at the beginning, then when dried the marshmallow and the vanilla appear but in a very happy fizzy way.
The perfume is not thick, nor stale, it feels alive.
Not cloying at all. Not very much of a true gourmand either.
Low sillage, but honestly I don't mind to keep on smelling my wrist.

This is very special.
Smells feminine and pretty, kind of innocent but not childish.
Smells like a happy person.

I really like it.

EDIT: this really doesn't last.
like 3-4 hours max, and I am annoyed now
however, this scent has me in a chokehold because I love it.

If you know tips to make it last, please let me know (apart from moisturizing and vaseline... they don't work)

dear @Scentsitivewoman05 it does not smell like coffee at all. Maybe they gave you the wrong decant?

How people find lemon in this perfume is baffling me. I got a decant from trusted seller in my country, and when I spray it I find the vanilla, amber and.. coffee! I dont know how! It reminds me of Sofia by Sofia Vergara with the same sillage and projection. I dont think I will get the full size bottle.

I love this for date night. It’s very much a matcha and marshmallow perfume, I don’t pick up on that many other notes. It’s fun, comforting, and great for fall and winter. I love wearing this when I read or go to bookstores. Even just on a rainy day. I am very sensitive to sweet perfumes and this isn’t too sweet for me (like how Love Don’t Be Shy is). I highly recommend if you like tea perfumes but want something less on the green, herbal, smokey, citrus side.

Princess is pure comfort in a bottle: Soft and warm, sweet but not cloying... It's a cup of tea and a big fuzzy blanket. It's sliding into your favourite pair of slippers. It's a hug from your best friend.

I just adore this scent 🥲

I bought a travel size immediately after testing it in store - not always wise, but luckily it became an absolute love, and my gateway to the world of gourmand perfumes. I'll be buying a full size as soon as I finish this one. My only wish is that the bottle was as pretty as the fragrance.

My skin usually turns citrus scents into screechy Pinesol, so I was shocked at how lovely it is on my skin. Initially I got the tea and light fruit scents but it quickly gave way to vanilla and marshmallow. After dry down it gives early '00s vibes, very warm vanilla sugary. It's cozy for sure but I don't think it's worth the price. To try it out I sprayed the tester on my arm then ended up throwing on a hoodie so the scent probably has a stronger throw than I think. Stays fairly close but I think in my hair it would leave a lovely trail.

I seem to be going back into my gourmand phase, but this time I'm into niche sweeties, lmao.

I blind bought this in the round bottle and did one squirt to my wrist/sweater sleeve... and I've smelled this before. I have an old square shaped bottle of Michel Germain Tattoo (lime/caramel) somewhere. I think I'll dig it out and use Tattoo to prolong the notes/scent of this Princess if I have as much trouble with sillage/power as everyone else.
However, Tattoo is hard to find now. :(

Princess is zingy-spicy and happy/bright, not actually sweet, but yes gourmand-foodish. I don't get ginger specifically. Well blended into something I like but to describe it would be to say... Michel Germain Tattoo 2000s formula.

One spray to the back wrist/sweater sleeve lasted IMPRESSIVELY (4-5 hours on the skin!) but the 6-8 sprays I did to my chest under my shirt was almost like nothing.... What a weird scent. I will have to layer this, or find the right skin/placement to wear this, and whatever season/weather it lasts best. (warm winter now)

I just read about laying Princess with Commodity Milk Personal, and Milk- def works on me with terrific throw and lasting power. I will try the combo for sure.

this is so damn good. i'm a lemon hater so i was on the fence about trying this out, but i really don't get much lemon, at least not distinctly. it kind of just combines with the green tea and ginger to smell clean and fresh but still sweet and spicy. the top and mid notes smell very "expensive" to me if that makes sense. but those base notes really shine and gives this such a fluffy sweetness that keeps it from being too mature for me to really crave. so delicious without being too gourmand, and i feel like this would do well in so many settings. signature scent worthy to me.

I was surprised that I really like this because I sampled other Kilian fragrances that were overbearing or unpleasant to me. But this is the perfect amount of sweetness, warmth and spiciness. I don't tend to like it when it is too much of one thing. This scent is unique and comforting. I could wear it pretty much anytime and even to work. I sprayed 1 diffuse spray on 1 forearm and wore a sweater over it and I smelled wafts of it throughout the day and into the night. So even though the scent isn't really loud, it stays.

What a sweet, creamy, lemony potion is this? I do get the marshmallow but it isn't cloying sweet like LDBS. The lemon is very dominant in the dry-down but not tart or fresh. It's creamy like merengue with a slight dose of ginger and tea, similar to Lira. There's a hint of nuts, like crispy almonds. The silage is ok and that's because it fades into a creamy sweet vanilla but it maintains the sweet lemony characteristics. If you enjoy sweet, intoxicating vanilla gourmands but with a twist, do try it. Kilian has never disappointed me.

Matcha milk tea with those colorful pastel marshmallows on top; less marshmellowy than Love.

Smells pleasant and sweet, but not overbearing. I wasn't sure if I'd like a green tea scent, but it smells wonderful and is pretty prominent. Although it isn't obvious, I can smell a bit of ginger and citrus.

If Guerlain Mon Guerlain EDP and Ysl Opium le Parfum had a baby this would be it. It’s good, nothing groundbreaking though. A zingy tingy lime (the lemon isn’t lemon-ing here but rather lime-ing) which is being hugged by a vanilly marshmallow- cloud. The combination of the lime and the green tea smells like lavender imo.
The lime opening stays quite long on my skin and appears from now and then when the perfume has already dried down.

EDIT: sitting in front of my collection and from the bottle it smells like guess seductive noir (supposed to be a dupe for Mon guerlain)

Very soft and pretty. But not sure if I'm in love with it enough for the price point. But I could definitely see this being a good signature for someone. The sillage is low, but I'll try it again and see if I like it better in a few days. All in all I think it's lovely.

does somebody know if divain 905 is a somewhat good dupe for this as they state? please let me know if you have an opinion

I love this fragrance! It's a subtle sweet flirty marshmallow-benzoin-tea scent on me. Makes me feel like I could never have a mean thing to say about anyone. Kind of good for those bad days when you need something to lift your thoughts!

Omg this perfume immediately became my new signature scent! I love sweet scents but with a woody and fruity depth. Princess is just that. At first spray there is a definite vanilla and marshmallow smell. But as it dries down the green tea note comes in with a little bit of ginger. Like other reviews have said it smells like a sweet green tea with marshmallow whipped cream. That hint of ginger gives it a lingering edge that is a nice twist. I really think it’s a general crowd pleaser and I can’t wait to wear it more!! Also the price wasn’t as expensive as I thought it would be especially compared to some of the other Kilian perfumes!

This is my go to when I go on dates and want to smell soft and feminine.
It lasts long on my skin and clothes.
I wouldn't wear this to work, it doesn't give off that aura I want when I'm at work.
Would recommend.

this is a really beautiful, warm and inviting perfume. I was worried I wouldn't like the marshmallows in this since I think it is too strong in love don't be shy, but it's just the perfect amount. I mostly get the marshmallow and ginger, which makes it sweet but also kinda fresh. It's not overpowering at all and definitely can be worn every day. just a really comforting smell i love it

This is one of the few Kilian perfumes that I enjoy. It's extremely soft and inoffesive; completely safe for a work/school environment. It smells like a ginger matcha topped with marshmallows. I don't smell any citrus, however it may be light enough to keep this from getting TOO sweet. This lasts for DAYS on clothes and hours on skin, but it does sit very close and creates a very small bubble of fluffy goodness. I like this, but I'm not over-the-moon for it which is fine. It doesn't really fit my personality but I'll be enjoying the travel size while I have it.

I don't fuck with a lot of the scents at Sephora but this is a special one. Easily the best marshmallow scent on the market rn (at least that I've tried). Sweet and strong enough to be present but not overwhelming and cloying. Just a perfect balance.

This perfume has one of the best marshmallow drydown I have ever smelled. I wear this when I go to concerts or a night out. It smells like a matcha latte with fluffy marshmallows. So delicious. I receive compliments when I wear this!

this is my go-to going out/nighttime fragrance, and i am on my second bottle of it. to me this fragrance is sexy, warm, seductive, and almost good enough to eat. there is a zingy lightness to it which i would assume is from the green tea note, but i personally don't smell any tea outright. the best way i could describe it is a light and fresh vanilla with a hint of fresh zing and earthy spice, like a zing of ginger. i am normally sensitive to vanillas as they can sometimes be headache inducing, but the lightness that the green tea brings counteracts that for me in this fragrance. for me its a bit too heavy to wear during the day, so it makes the perfect sexy clubbing fragrance that i love to wear at night. it lasts a very long time on me and i can always smell it on my clothes the next day.

I used to really enjoy this scent. But I feel that the newer batch leans more towards the "warm spicy" notes rather than the sweetness of the marshmallow. Even the earthiness of the green tea can not seem to balance the standard perfume "spice" that this scent possesses. Once it dries down, I'm a much bigger fan; the sweetness seems to make an appearance the more you wait. But I simply do not want to wait that long for the more pleasant notes to pull through. I'm not very fond of the initial couple hours of scent.

i keep coming back to this because it’s such a beautiful scent, marshmallows and matcha. sometimes i feel like i can barely smell it though, but anytime ive taken a little break and then use it again, i smell it just fine lingering for
hours so it’s likely just my nose after sniffing it so much! ill always have this one in my collection <3

I’ve quite enjoyed this perfume over the last 3 years. It smells like gingery-marshmallows it’s sweet but not too sweet (compliment). Overall, I find this quite lovely because it’s something you can wear everyday. No wonder this a crowd pleaser.

f**ckin love this so much, its sweet yet has that slight darkness to it.
On the first ever spray, i could make out the slightest amount of lemon, but the sprays after that, i couldn't.
blind bought this one, and have NO regrets! UGH I CAN't emphasize enough how much i'm in love. i'd think if you like a sweety gourmand, then you'd like this!

I really love this one when I'm in the mood for something very sweet and it makes me happy!
Tip:
The Dua Brand has a great affordable dupe called 'princeless princess' that has much better longevity and sillage with just one spray. People around me always say that they can smell the Dua-version from a great distance, whether they like it or not, so I recommend you get that one if the original doesn't perform/last as much on you. :)

EDIT: great news i smell it now after continued use and others can smell it on me lol. i've changed my rating from "ok" to "like". would love this if it had better projection and longevity but still signature-worthy. it's a subtle and sweet scent and i also think it's a safe blind buy for those who enjoy the notes listed.

i agree exactly with QueOndaGuera's review below mine. i was so excited to try this because it has two of my all-time favorite notes (green tea and marshmallow) but i think i'm mostly anosmic to it, which breaks my heart. i can just faintly smell the green tea, ginger and marshmallow, and only when i put my wrists right up to my nose. the longevity also performs weakly for me. such a shame because i enjoy the unique freshness of this scent (or as much as i can smell of it). maybe others will smell it on me, but if they don't, i don't think i'll ever buy a fb, which maybe is a blessing in disguise since the design is quite frankly hideous.

i'll definitely give it some time, but if this review is never altered, nothing ever changed

A hot matcha latte with marshmallows. Very cute and sweet, I can’t imagine this being offensive for anyone and is probably a safe blind buy. It strangely has no projection or longevity on me though. Even multiple sprays of my tester in my hair and on skin and it’s gone after an hour :( sad because it smells really lovely

Smells so good on the rest strip, but on my skin it turned into pure ginger and then faded away to the barest whisper of marshmallow. I can take ginger as a minor note, but it turned so spicy and strong on me that I couldn’t take it.

i didn’t love it at first but it’s growing on me… green tea, marshmallow fluff and vanilla are very present from the opening. as the time passes i get the ginger and citrusy notes, a few hours later there’s only vanilla, but a very beautiful one! a super sweet fragrance that is very unique and well blended. it sometimes reminds me of an icecream cone cookie!

Last night I ordered my second bottle. Men smell this and compliment it from like 7 yards away easy. I understand that the notes are light, however they project on me. I smell it on my clothes weeks later, I smell it on my hair days later, and it’s so light and beautiful.

Depending on the weather I get: Powdered sugary marshmallow and ginger in winter, when sniffed closely I absolutely get the matcha, and the ginger just blends it for me. I smell more effervescence of the ginger in the summer. Still searching for the peach but I feel that though undetectable to my nose; it definitely brightens the fragrance.

It very hard for me to commit to a signature scent, but this and casili are my two favorites. People definitely know me by those scent marks.

This is a blind buy, this is a safe gift. This can go for gourmand lovers, and even greener girlies so long as they appreciate it from the matcha. It’s young and beautiful, it’s also business casual. Definitely high end. This fragrance will have you smelling delightfully expensive and astute.

Sweet matcha in the opening and marshmellows in the drydown. Delicious!

I totally realized what this smells like while I was eating a Strawberry Cheesecake Blizzard from Dairy Queen last night. HAHAHAHA. It smells like graham cracker to me!!! But like the cheesecakey kind!! Almost like cookie butter, in a way. I was worried it was gonna be too close to Kayali Yum Gelato, cuz I didn't care for that one, but I'm super happy with this one!! (Thanks, Jaclyn Hill, for the recommendation!!)

Of the 3 or 4 Kilians I sniffed at the store, this one was my favorite.

This is probably my favorite scent so far in my scent journey (closely tied with Angels' Share!). It really is soft marshmallow and tea, but not too sweet. It feels mature, and not reminiscent of any Victorias Secret scents like Burberry Goddess. It is so well-balanced and comforting. I could probably spray it 20 times and not get overwhelmed. It sticks to my clothes and hair well into the next day and I can't get enough. I think this would be fine all year round actually.

SO GOOD! I bought a travel size of this perfume and Immediately bought a full size the next day. This scent is so cozy and delicious. Princess is truly my favorite scent i’ve EVER smelled, I’m always going to have a back up bottle in my collection no matter what. Plus my boyfriend always says I smell good when I wear this, And he’s selective!

For me I have the original round bottle and it lasts forever on my clothes, so longevity on clothes is really great (I’m talking stays on clothes for days great), but on the skin it doesn’t last longer than 2 hrs, and the sillage may be lacking, but to me it’s 110% worth it anyways!

10/10 🖤

Beautiful green tea and marshmallow fragrance with a refreshing opening ginger and lemon that help balance out the sweetness. I don't want to say it smells like a matcha latte because there isn't a milk/lactonic note I can perceive. Truly, it's matcha and marshmallows. I initially got the travel spray and could not stop sniffing where I sprayed along with the nozzle itself because of how amazingly refreshing and simple the scent is. Although soft and more intimate, I want to say it has medium to long longevity on me, as I still catch whiffs after a day at the office. Perfectly sweet and scrumptious, I had to get a full bottle. Although a safer and well-loved fragrance, I believe this is still fairly unique.

One criticism unrelated to scent, the design of either the new and old full-size bottles don't reflect the scent well. I feel like the packaging with the bold letters and slogan suggests a strong, projecting and daring fragrance - of which Princess just isn't.

After falling in love with LDBS Extreme, I felt like I needed something with more focus on the marshmallow note and ended up ordering a travel size of this upon hearing so many great things about it. It was LOVE at first sniff! I was about to go and get a full-sized bottle, but I wanted to test its longevity and sillage first. After continuously getting whiffs of it all the way through the next day, I was sold and placed an order right away.

This scent makes me think of a matcha powdered marshmallow. Sweet but delicate, not cloying, and definitely not too powdery. It is soft and gentle, but makes its presence known. Light and elegant while remaining intriguing. Princess lives up to its name.

I am a fan of beast mode perfumes, but I am well aware that not every fragrance out there has to be a heavy hitter. I adore this, as it is inoffensive and a crowd pleaser, making it very office friendly and generally very versatile.

This is a very light and soft fragrance, this reminds me of Kayali yum gelato, it’s fresh soft and sweet and delicate, it sits close to the skin. I like it but it’s too subtle for me. I bought a 10ml so I’m pleased I didn’t get the full bottle. I will keep testing this as I’ve only just received it.

This smells exactly like an iced matcha latte to me with hints of ginger. They managed to nicely balance the green tea, ginger, and vanilla/marshmallow so it's really pleasant. For a few seconds during the initial spray, I get some lemon but that fades pretty fast and it's ever so slightly headache inducing. Overall, it's such a good and well done gourmand tea scent. But because I'm shallow and vain, I found that I that the bottle (along with the childishly obscure name) is kind of underwhelming and boldly plain compared to Kilian's other bottles and doesn't fit with how pretty the scent is.

A simple Marshmallow scent that is easy to wear. I wear this when I don’t know what else to wear.

I was excited for this but I'm learning that ginger fragrances are not for me. I love the matcha and marshmallow notes in this, but the ginger note literally makes my eyes burn. I'm going to have to return this one. So far I'm not a fan of this brand.

She’s young spirited, independent, sexy, has her own money and a lot of it, every dude is in love with her and every girl wants to be her, mentally stable, animal and children lover, has a mole near her lip, loves to go blonde, best dressed, etc. I imagine Blake Lively wearing this lol
My husband loves it too but hates the name lol

A plate of marshmallows with a side of unsweeted tea. It is so soft and wonderful, I find it stunning. The marshmallow note isn't powdery and gives just enough sweetness. It is a green marshamallow scent but it is not earthy or too "green". Very balanced. I enjoy it a lot more compared to Love don't be shy.

It’s got the same sugary kid’s cereal feel as Love Don’t Be Shy, but the matcha note cuts the sweetness and lends it a bit of interest. At first, it’s a sugary, whipped cream and marshmallow topped matcha latte. In the dry down, the sweetness retreats a tiny bit, and the ginger comes back, and you’re left with a warm, powdery sweetness. Still too sweet for me personally, but I think gourmand lovers would be into it.

smells like campho phenique cold sore gel, which i don’t hate… just very interesting for a perfume lol. i’m guessing it’s the combination of green tea which gives it sort of a minty quality, and the ginger & benzoin which adds a spicy note. i get a hint of marshmallow too, but it’s pretty hidden underneath everything else this perfume has going on.

On my second bottle now (new packaging, thank god), and it's my favourite easy reach for daytime wear during the winter. I wear it to work ofte and get a ridiculous amount of compliments from coworkers and customers. It lasts alllll day, even when I become nose-blind to it, and I always smell it on my clothes the day after. The green tea, ginger, and marshmallow notes are most prominent and play well together creating a cozy, comforting, sweet yet fresh, and well-balanced fragrance that isn't cloying or heavy. I will likely be repurchasing this as long as it's available. I wish it came in a larger size but I will settle for 50ml.

Get the refill bottle it is stronger than the 50ml square. I bought 2 bottles within the last year and the refill is stronger!!!

I'm so on the fence about this scent. I *like* it, but it can be a bit much. It reminds me of a super sweet Flowerbomb. The scent can be kind of overwhelming for the first few hours, but the scent it fades into is really nice. Still sweet, but not in your face. It doesn't smell like lemon or tea to me, but I'm just getting into fragrance.

ETA 1/4/24: It's a love and I bought a full bottle. :)

Smells like I rubbed a lemon sponge cake that was made with almond essence, vanilla extract and topped with caramel buttercream against my skin. It’s synthetic and too gourmand-sweet for me.

Delicious and signature-worthy for me. Gourmand and tea = two of my favorite things so this is extremely fitting for my collection. When I sprayed this on the tester strip, it did not do it justice. Even once initially sprayed on my wrist, it was almost indiscernible to my nose? It somewhat smelled like play-doh to me. It also gives off a similar vibe to Hypnotic Poison, in my opinion. LET IT DEVELOP! Once it dries down the notes truly come through and shine. The green tea/matcha notes are soothing and realistic but not as photorealistically leafy if that makes any sense. It's a perfectly formulated green tea for a fragrance. The florals aren't obviously "floral" either, and the marshmallow combined with fruity apple and citrus notes enable it to pack more of a punch and last throughout the day. 9/10

SO YUMMY. i definitely get the marshmallow and the florals with just a hint of the citrus and green tea. it's a nice fragrance for when you want to smell sweet and edible but not over the top. it's a mature gourmand

Really lovely smell. Interesting with the mix of ginger, matcha, and marshmallow. As it only lasts a few hours on my skin (3-4 I would say) I would wear this to a brunch or lunch, or day event that I will only be at for a few hours. If I wanted to wear it for the whole day, I would most definitely need to bring a travel sprayer to reapply after a few hours. That said, it is beautiful. Beautiful enough that I don't mind having to reapply.

I love love this one, this is my new favourite!! Very wearable all around but still unique at the same time. I didn't initially like the first spray as it just smelled too fresh with the lemon and ginger, but once it dries down – oh it smells so yummy. Very marshmallowy, comforting and sophisticated but not too sweet since it has the green tea and florally/fruity notes <3

It's a miss for me. :( I was expecting the green tea, ginger, lemon, peach, and apple to pull this fragrance out of the cloying zone. It sounded so gorgeous in theory. I badly want to smell what everyone else is smelling from this - especially the green tea!! But I just get mostly syrupy vanilla that's a bit much (and I'm a gourmand lover). Still gonna hope it grows on me...

This is so different, and I really like it. The green tea has an almost minty quality, bringing a lovely freshness. The marshmallow and vanilla remind me of that in woman in gold, really soft and sweet. There’s hints of the lemon and ginger, quiet but supportive. It’s beautifully blended, and quite addictive.

This took some time for me to like it. At first the only thing I could smell was pepsi. After wearing it for a few more days and letting it develop on my skin before judging it, the marshmallow matcha yumminess comes out more than just the pepsi smell. Not my favorite green tea scent, but I like the spicy sweet and creamy vibe it has!

Had to do a quick review, I’ve NEVER ever bought a fragrance with a marshmallow note before. Call me a snob or just uninformed lol but I honestly assumed it would make the scent immature and / or sickeningly sweet. A male friend gave me their bottle after they got this rather than what they ordered …. and wow!! I was wrong, at least about this marshmallow note. It’s so well blended with the spice, tea, lemon etc that for me, it just sweetens the vanilla into more of a gourmand. Like a cup of hot lemon ginger tea was sitting on the table with apple pie and vanilla ice cream? More of a fancy restaurant, less of a diner. That’s the vibe

I get the tea, marshmallow and vanilla in this, but not the ginger at all. I actually didn't get the marshmallow at first sniff. I let it settle for a few days and wore it last night before bed, and I could DEFINITELY get the marshmallow (thank goodness!), which was really lovely and delicious!

The tea note, though . . . that's a new note to me. While it does smell like tea, I feel like it could also be interpreted as a sharp soap note (at least to/on me). Not like a fragrant soap, but more like the generic sample soap you might find in your hotel room bathroom. It's not "bad" -- I've just never had any fragrance with a tea note in it, and I'm not a soapy scent lover, so this characteristic would require getting used to because it's not really in the background.

The marshmallow note is delicious, but I'm not sure about the longevity or likeability of the fragrance overall to warrant a full bottle. I sprayed it before bed at about 11 p.m.; it's now 5:23 a.m. the next morning and it's a skin scent with no discernable characteristics.

Performance is HUGE for me when it comes to a full bottle; I'm just the type that, no matter how good it is, I'm not buying it if I can't enjoy it for at least most of the day. If other people smell it - great! But that's not who I buy it for, and I don't have time to even think about re-applying. My fragrances bring me joy as I go about my day, so if a tester isn't doing that, I go no further even if I love the scent - because there's no joy.

I'll be fair and give my tester a full day's wear before I make a final decision, but I suspect that if I had this, it would be used as a night-time body spray for me - and I don't need a $130 body spray, ya know?

This is just the bollocks honestly. I love tea notes but im always wary of ginger and tea notes because Iprfer sweet/gourmandy perfumes over any greenish herbally ones... This passed the test , fuckng love it , smells exactly like a matcha marshmallow. In terms of longevity, ehhh not the best, if it was beast mode, trust I would already have a full size bottle in my possession

i think i’m the only one who doesn’t get that ginger and tea notes because this fragrance is THAT well blended. to me this just smells like a soft fluffy marshmallow with some sweet florals and a tiny hint of spiciness in the background. performance isn’t as good as everyone else says but i always reapply my fragrances after 4 hours any way

Sweet lemon and ginger green tea with a the fluffiest marshmallow note known to man... heavenly! Low projection for a personal little scent-bubble, doesn't last on the skin but it CLINGS to the fibers of your hair and clothing for days. It is wonderfully cozy for a brunch on cooler days, especially combined with the Calgon marshmallow body spray. Next try is a chocolate moisturizer underneath to add richness during the winter months. I don't like Love Don't Be Shy, for reference (neroli just doesn't sit with me), so this might be an alternative if you want to keep that sweet marshmallow factor. If you are looking for a fluffy gourmand, I beg you to at least give this a sniff for yourself

matcha and marshmallow with a slightly citrusy opening. heavenly

When I first smelled this I didn’t think anything special of it, but then I let it settle and WOW. This is such a nice, cozy, warm and sweet fragrance but at the same time a bit fresh from the tea note. I’d 100% buy this and use it as one of my signature fragrances if it wasn’t for the terrible longevity. 3-4 hours lasting power doesn’t justify the price tag.

I am just obsessed. This fragrance is pretty far outside of what I might typically wear, but it just has that wow factor! The way that the marshmallow is done really elevated this fragrance. It smells like a matcha milk tea boba with marshmallow fluff and a ginger drizzle over the top. I could bathe in this stuff, it’s sooooo pretty and girly, but also understated and not juvenile whatsoever. Year-round appropriate. Just lovely!

@HeatherNS — the formula did not change between bottle re-designs! :)

Does anyone know if this is the same as the Princess in the rectangle bottle?

A yummy green tea and marshmallow fragrance. Perfect for year round. Pair with Vanilla 28 or Milk Expressive for a warmer cozier scent. This is so good!

It's not that I dislike it, but compared to Love Don't be Shy by the same brand the ingredients feel a little cheap, specifically the green tea, which at some angles smells like a generic Elizabeth Arden kind of green tea, something you'd find in air freshener or functional products. The dry down is much nicer, and to me smells like a diluted version of the marshmallow drydown in LDBS. The sillage is really 'nice', also, and given the insane cost of LDBS I'm considering Princess as a better-value not-quite-dupe.

Lovely marshmallow root with green tea fragrance! I wish the gingery note stuck around a bit longer on my skin, but this answered my search for an everyday green tea or ginger scent. I bought the travel size and I'm not sure if the full size is worth the shorter longevity, but it is a yummy scent.

The opening of this was beautiful. I did get the gingery soft green tea (not the earthy matcha type- which I do also love) but paired with the vanilla, a beautiful latte-esque feel. The longevity of this was so weak however that once it settled on the skin and turned into a fluffy marshmallow cloud of vanilla, it quickly dissipated to where I had no scent left at all on my skin. It is an overall nice fragrance but would definitely need multiple reapplications throughout the day. I don't think for me that it would be worth the price point of a full bottle due to the performance.

beautiful sticky sweet powdery marshmallows with a hint of ginger lemon green tea . its sooooo beautiful its top 3 for sure i cant get enough . the tea note for me is not a dry or powdered matcha type of green tea , instead i feel like its just green tea leaf steeped with lemon and ginger , but thats accompanied by this super sweet perfect marshmallow .

Initially smelled like lemon ginger tea, and changed within an hour to green tea marshmallow. Within a few hours, it was marshmallow only, which felt a bit juvenile to me. If the middle notes held stronger and longer I would have enjoyed it more.

Took me a while to get on board with this, and I almost sold it, but it’s kind of addicting. My husband really loves it as well. This scent smells like a fall day by the fire, roasting marshmallows. Kilian for another win!

UPDATE: Starting to get over this one. I just smell like chocolate now. Not sure I would choose this when I have so many I would prefer. I'll probably finish this out using as a daily fall/summer scent, when I don't want to waste my favorites.

i was so excited..

i went into sephora smelt it, thought it smelt like yum pistachio gelato. i sprayed it all over because i LOVE that scent, after like one minute it turned into this very old lady scent, kind of like magnesium by escada it has the same powdery smell that i don’t like. i was hoping for a beautiful marshmallow and ginger scent which everyone said it would be.

I got a purse spray and I can’t recommend it
As soon as I spray it it is gone
It is a sweet scent but longevity is dismal
Definitely a flop for me !

I have a full brand new bottle of this perfume to sell in the UK, contact me if you are interested.

To me, this perfume smells like Prada Candy. Powdery white florals with some sweetness from vanilla. I do pick up a bit of the green tea and lemon, but not enough to make it unique to me. Lasts 3 hours maximum on my skin, and longer on clothing. Overall, not a huge fan. It’s just pleasant, but its similarity to Prada Candy also makes it a bit “meh” to me.

At first you can really smell the citrus as well as the ginger note that gives the fragrance a spicyness that goes well with the very recognisable and present green tea (for tea note lovers out there wanting to know if you can smell it: YES). The opening is really refreshing but I would not say like some did that this is comforting, at least not when you first spray it. After a while you get less citrus, more of that gourmand balance with the marshmallow and the vanilla.
It really is pretty but I do wish it projected more, so that the people around me could enjoy it as much as I do.

edit: for some reason I can kind of smell (or imagine haha) the apple on my clothes but not on my skin.

The fluffy marshmallow and creamy vanilla coexists perfectly with the citrus and tea notes. This is a wonderfully balanced gourmand scent. It's sweet, it's warm, it's green, it's fresh, slightly lactonic, slightly spicy. Think freshly baked ginger cookie dipped in a cold glass of milk and mix it with the creaminess of a hot vanilla matcha latte.

A divine, sultry and enthralling frangrance.
Perfect for fall and winter.
Not a safe blind buy if you are not into gourmand fragrance.

I hate that I love it at this price point. A beautiful, addictive sweet scent that turns comforting, green and warm on the dry down. Perfect for fall and winter. I can't stop smelling my wrists.

Very pleasant scent but I’ve burned through 2 travel sizes of Princess faster than the speed of light and it typically takes me forever to get through a travel. I can’t imagine how easy it’d be to tear through full bottles. Not worth it for the price point.

Well this is wonderful...for about 30mins, and then it settles into a cozy vanilla scent that sits close to skin with no projection. In the beginning the aroma is just lovely, the vanilla is mixed with some spiced greenness that's just delicious and refreshing. Why does it have to disappear so fast😭🤧 Killian, please make this stronger🙏🏻 I'd love to have a bottle of the beautiful zesty opening, such a great blend of contrasting sweet and sour notes, where they don't clash but compliment eachother. The drydown is nice but it's completely different from the opening, and quite simple, can be found in many other vanillas, so it's not really worth the full bottle. This is what I wanted Diesel - Loverdose Red Kiss to be, sweet with some apple freshness, unfortunately I remember it being really sour and synthetic. I drink green tea daily but I don't smell it in this like others claim, perhaps matcha has a different scent which now I am curious to try.

Quite possibly one of the most beautiful fragrances I've ever smelled. I am a sucker for tea scents! Green tea, black tea, matcha tea, all teas. The green tea note in this is incredible, and the marshmallow provides a surprisingly grounded sweetness to it. Overall I'm totally in love with it.

BUT. I cannot justify buying a full bottle of this. The longevity on my skin isn't horrible, but it does not project at all, whatsoever. And this is coming from someone who does NOT like very strong fragrances. It becomes a skin scent almost immediately after spraying it. I'd rather buy a perfume oil dupe of this because at least then I can apply it as much as I want without feeling like I'm pissing money down the drain.

Wow! This is an instant love for me. I usually stay away from green notes but this is the most gorgeous delicious vanilla and tea fragrance! 💚

Ok so at first spray, please don’t be alarmed because it smells really sharp ONLY the first 5 seconds. So just give it 5 seconds to settle. Then you will smell the most amazing gourmand matcha latte! It smells exactly like a creamy green tea matcha latte infused with a tiny hint of ginger, lots of sugar, and marshmallow fluff ontop! It’s so delicious and comforting🍵🥛🌱

When this settles, the vanilla becomes even deeper and more prominent and so warm and addictive. Love love love!

Overall, princess is a very comforting and warm fragrance, and feels like a warm hug. I love spraying it when I’m feeling stressed it really relaxes me. Also, a great everyday fragrance for matcha tea and marshmallow lovers! 🍡🍧🍵

Longevity: average (about 4 hours on my skin)


Projection: intimate ( only those close to you will smell you)


Weather: Autumn, winter, and summer nights

This is the first time I've really loved a matcha note. It is beautifully supported by the marshmallow and vanilla. I wish I got more of the citrus for a little bit of a bite, but even without picking those up it is enjoyable. Comforting and cozy. It's too bad the bottle is so atrocious, but I might seek out a travel size or decant to have in rotation.

initially thought of this fragrance as the stronger drug version of glossier you, but departing from that impression a bit (perhaps as glossier you departs from smelling like anything?)
love the matcha + marshmallow combination, will be seeking out decants once my travel size is done... scent is lovely but few bottles are as unbearably ugly as this one

I was given a sample today and only tried it out once I left the store. Immediately purchased a travel size soon after.

This reminds me of a modern, more grownup take on V&R’s Flowerbomb. I’m getting warm vanilla matcha latte. I’m not picking up any of the citrus top note so far but I think the green tea and ginger notes kind of settle the sweetness of the vanilla marshmallow so that it’s not cloying. The vanilla comes through very strong, a note that doesn’t usually doesn’t agree with my chemistry, but I’m this fragrance it’s just absolutely gorgeous.

Moderate to intimate sillage, I can detect it on myself without directly smelling my wrists. I haven’t worn it in public yet so not sure if it leaves a trail. Decent longevity, the vanilla lingers for quite a while.

So sexy, so cozy, a little romantic, flirty, playful. I could see this being my winter go-to scent. Perfect for a date night though it could work for every day too. I would like to buy a full bottle but unfortunately the packaging is ugly as sin.

At this point none of Kilian perfumes disappointed me and I especially like this one because it is affordable compared to the other ones. I also think it has a similar base like love don't be shy, probably because of the marshmallow scent. It is a sweet perfume, but it's not overbearing thanks to the ginger and citrus scents. It's such a cozy perfume and I keep smelling myself, it's definitely one of my favorite !

I love that one! And love new packaging is so much better than the old one. Scent is green, vanilla, comforting. That matcha/green tea note is so good and stays on my skin long time

This fragrance is not for me as it is overpowering sweet and too sugary. I personally do not detect much of the green tea. Some people compare it to the matcha latte, I drink it every morning and personally do not see any similarity. The only distant similarity is the creaminess of the milk and sugar, but I do not detect any green tea or ginger notes. The sugar takes all the stage and does not allow other notes to develop, at least to my nose.

same style as flowerbomb, reminds me of prada candy l'eau and has a similar drydown to diesels loverdose

I recently found a steal of a deal on a brand new/still sealed 100ml of the old style bottle (round one). So I snagged one up. I had the newer style bottle first and they smell the same to me. Except that the older bottle has better performance for me, but it's still not great. And I much prefer the newer bottle to the round one.

On my skin, Princess smells like a sweet and vanillic matcha & marshmallow macaron dusted with powdered sugar. It's quite unique imo. The ginger is there.. but for me, it's more of a supporting note. Keeping the sweetness tamed and from becoming cloying. I really love this fragrance. It's so cozy and comforting.

if anyone is selling this old version with the circle bottle in the uk please message me xx

Uh, no. Suprisingly meh. I don´t get any lemon, green tea, apple or ginger, all i get is sugar and a very sweet vanilla. The dry down it quiet nice but over all to sweet. Much sweeter than LDBS.

Something a wealthy private school girl would wear. It does vaguely remind me of how protein powder smells. I think it's probably more of a matcha than a green tea. Still a very pretty scent, which isn't overly sweet or generic. Definitely a unique vanilla.

It doesn't leave a trail. But if you use one spray on your wrist, it's noticeable in a really pleasant way.

For me it’s like Love Don’t Be Shy and Flowerbomb have a baby and this baby is a young Barbie girl. It’s sweet, sugary but with a hint of freshness from a green tea and a green apple. It’s a nice scent for a day cool weather or summer night. Longevity could be better for sure. On my skin it’s only around 4 hours and then it gets too soft skin scent.

smells like sweat to me 🤷🏾 the longevity is good ig

I just got it today and I’m already in love, it was a very successful blind buy. The best way I could describe is that It smells like a lovely, yummy and warm matcha latte with plenty of foam on top accompanied with a rice crispy treat on the side. When you first spray you get a fresh tangy scent but it quickly mellows out into pillowy, matcha marshmallow goodness! It’s so wonderful that I can’t stop sniffing myself, I’m definitely considering this as my new signature scent for when I go back to college. My only problem and it’s a small one… is that I don’t think it has very good longevity or projection, it does need quite a few sprays, which is why I’m thinking of getting the imitation perfume from Oil Perfumery to layer with the real thing so it has something to give it that little boost it needs. Overall I find it to be a very pretty, warm and comforting scent, definitely something I imagine a princess wearing and makes me feel like one.
Edit: okay I’ve just gotten the oil and it’s pretty damn close, the tea note just lasts longer but it’s mostly perfect and I mean it! If you didn’t tell me otherwise I’d think it’s just the real perfume so I’d say definitely get it to layer with the actual thing! I’m getting the full bottle for my birthday so I can say this will definitely be my new signature scent!

Smells like a beautiful pillow of marshmallows. Sweet and powdery but not overly so. I get a lot of beautiful vanilla cream and some hints of green tea.

I can definitely see why this is called princess, this fragrance has a soft and young heart. Love it!

Performance: 7 hours of longevity on my skin. Noticeable for the first 2 hours then becomes a skin scent.

I have a travel size of this after hearing everyone rave about it. When I first sprayed it I thought it was GINGER heavy. Ginger,lemon, and some type of unknown sweetness. It made my throat irritated but is still wore it to work because it smells nice and unique, I recently washed the shirt I had on that day and I could still smell some of the perfume on there from A MONTH AGO.

I haven’t received any compliments on it but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t smell good because I rarely get compliments despite how good a fragrance may smell!

After wearing a dupe for awhile, I ended up thoroughly testing the real deal. This is sugary sweet, sticky, a bit powdery. Not necessary a vanillac sweet, or a floral sweet-- more like a candy-confection sweet. What I really enjoy is the tea note. It really elevates this and imparts a subtle herbal freshness. What's unfortunate is that this fades so quickly.

Too sweet, with time smells nice but doesn't last more than 1 hour.

This is fairly linear to me, a powdery marshmallow that’s very subtle. This doesn’t last long on clothes or skin for me. It’s nice, but I’m not paying a premium price tag for a scent that barely even fits into the skin scent category.

I have a love hate with this one. Smelling it out of the bottle, it’s sweet sugary spicy and delicious. Same feeling upon first spray. Out of the bottle you can pick up on the ginger peach and matcha as well as the sweet marshmallow, lovely blend. But once it’s on skin I feel like it gets muted very quickly and doesn’t project well at all. I just don’t get much longevity with this one which is what has kept me from ordering a full sized bottle. Must say the travel sprayer I bought is in some very low quality packaging. Sprayer is very low quality and the label is peeling off. (This is the original formulation, may try the reformulated version soon)

Headliner here is marshmallow. For context: my chemistry tends to project thicker notes: anything woody, animalic, sweet. It can make sweet or light perfumes sometimes unbalanced. I have found winter scents with wood or drier citrus-centric scents work best with my chemistry. On me, this stays light as a feather; fluffy marshmallow dessert. undeniably sweet but not cloying. the other notes amount to a kind of subtle cosmetic powder in the background, an element i really enjoy and find comforting. the mood is cool, feminine, and effortless. a lovely light powdery gourmand and a good foray into something sweet, light, and femme for those folks who don’t typically try that scent genre.

*edit: I have now worn this is a more humid climate. There is definitely more complexity present— it feels warmer and slightly spiced, maybe more tea and ginger? Still lovey and fluffy.

Does smell like marshmallowy slightly peachy & gingery desert, but somehow not overly sweet. I don't really get matcha, but maybe genmaicha tea that is balancing out the sweet. It's nice and different than I expected, but my skin eats it up, sadly, so I had to overspray to detect it. I wouldn't mind a full bottle.

Initially when I tried this, it was a huge meh. Just strong green tea and ginger/bergamot/citrus. It was very very weak upon application and synthetic. I guess I was wrong to judge this so quickly because until this started drying down, I fell in love. It's beautiful. It's a powdery vanilla marshmallow and green tea. It starts to blend out as it dries down. I enjoy the phase of strong green tea and ginger, to the mix of green tea and soft marshmallow, to the vanilla and powder. Love it

This is a marshmallow-y sweet bomb, and I love it. Sweet and creamy and yummy.

This one gets me compliments from strangers and loved ones I’m known for this scent

This didn't wow me like I hoped it would, I just mostly got tons of sugared sweetness. But I've found that if I layer this with Yum Pistachio from Kayali I will smell A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! These two fragrances complement each other like crazy and the milkiness of Princess becomes more prominent.
But for the price this fragrance should be able to stand on its own.

This was a complete waste of £100 as there is zero staying power. Like lightly scented water. Spraying it on my clothes and or in my hair doesn’t help. Annoying. The scent, which I can smell for literally about 5 minutes, is lovely. I’m trying the Dua fragrances version which I hear is longer lasting.

so happy i've finally found my signature scent. this is the most delectable mixture of green tea and marshamallow, and even after only wearing it a few times people have begun to associate the smell with me because it's so memorable! bonus for me, no one i know wears it so i get to be unique lol. i'll forgive the terrible name and moderate projection because it's perfect in every other way.

After 2 years of trying to buy a full bottle my bf surprises me by gifting this Kilian Princess for our one year anniversary. I gasped. We have Kilian in our country but they don’t carry this line and everytime I tried to buy it overseas it’s always out of stock. I’m honestly just touched that I got it now in my collection unexpectedly. What a beautiful comforting scent for a vanilla lover like me. Powdery that gives you comfort and marshmallows cake shop goodness that brings me joy. I love it!!!

One of my favorite fragrances ever, it’s an automatic compliment magnet.

On my skin, the frag begins with a slightly spicy freshly peeled ginger scent, mixed with bright lemon and a milky matcha drink scent that’s sweet and pleasant. About thirty seconds after that, the apple, peach, vanilla, benzoin. and marshmallow blend with the top notes, and creates a scent reminiscent of a freshly baked cake with candied ginger and fluffy marshmallow on top. My skin only slightly pulls the hedione and no jasmine.

It lasts forever on clothes and about 6-8 hours max on skin. It’s an airy, fresh, and sweet gourmand that performs best during the colder months and colder spring days.

Matcha Tea anyone?! Heck yes! My nose gets mostly ginger and matcha tea. It's gorgeous and I find it to be very much a unisex fragrance. Terrible name for this fragrance in my opinion. I picked up a bottle at Sephora for $125 which is not bad. Great longevity and so-so projection, but it's all good. This prince APPROVES!

I was so happy when I snatched the old globe bottle with a "without a box" offer from a reputable netshop ... only to end up a bit confused with the product...

The scent starts fresh with lemon, tea and ginger and then turns into (Casamorati's) Lira "light". Apple? Peach? They must be in the mix but the citrus and tea notes dominate. If you thought of (Initio's) Atomic Rose when you saw hedione listed, it certainly does not play such a role as in AR - in fact I don't get it at all. I'm not really so sure about the marsmallow drydown, I would classify this more as a vanilla bakery kind of drydown with some freshness from citrus. The benzoin element is very light.

I guess eating vanilla pound cake with lemon icing with some tea might give you an idea what this smells like.

On me the scent does not really last, I have to spray generously on clothing and then it will last until the next day. Even on clothing it does not project much, but will make a nice sweet cocoon for the wearer.

I suppose if you found Lira or a similar gourmand too heavy, especially for summer, this might be for you.

Personally I prefer Sunset (Fun things always happen after sunset) from this series, I find it's more unique as a scent and performs much better on me in terms of longevity and sillage. And of course it's been discontinued...

As for gourmands, there is none better than Lira.

This reminds me of a higher end baby powder. I do get lots of compliments where I’m told that I smell very clean. My skin seems to eat this up so I have to spray every 2 hrs or so. I live in hot weather so maybe that contributes to it. My friend also bought this since she likes the way I smell but it smells more soft floral on her. I wouldn’t blind buy this as it smells different with everyone’s body chemistry.

This one reminds me a lot of Kayali Pistachio Gelato, with the citrus and marshmallow, except Princess is greener. It dries down sweet and creamy. The ginger note can be off-putting at first but it fades as the sweet base notes are revealed. The gourmand aspect compliments it beautifully.

Princess is pretty unique even though it doesn’t have too many notes, but all of the notes show up so there's not too much going on. If you’re a strict gourmand person, you have to be open-minded to enjoy this one because of its green twist. It’s definitely not for everyone and I see why some people dislike it (like my sister).

Unfortunately, the longevity is weak which I should have expected given this is the more affordable fragrance by Kilian and it’s been (supposedly) reformulated. For this reason, it’s not full-bottle worthy.

This basically smells like sweet milk with a hint of cardamom. Imagine that you boiled milk and sugar and added cardamom spice. I'm not really getting any tea from this. It's heavily blended so I can only detect these two notes. Very similar to Sabrina Carpenter's Sweet Tooth. This also reminds me of Jovoy's Remember Me. Jovoy's is more complex and unique, but not a safe blind buy since it's more spice heavy and not as milky sweet as this one.

Smell: 8 out of 10
Longevity: 7 out of 10
Feminine

For reference, I'm female.

This is literally the best thing I’ve ever smelled! So yummy! I wear it everyday with my coco butter lotion. I get So many compliments :)

i didn’t expect it to be that similar to love don’t be shy but way better, take out the orange notes and replace it with that green tea.

I used to own a bottle of this and got rid of it….huge mistake ! I was able to revisit this recently and….this is such an adorable fragrance. I personally find the name to be cute and endearing but I do understand people who find it gimmicky ! I find it to be very cozy and comforting. The juice itself smells very strongly of marshmallows, peaches and vanilla. It’s very powdery, sweet and airy. The matcha note is more of a milk boba-esque oversweetened matcha rather than your usual bitter matcha. It’s strong enough to flutter around you and lasts a good amount of time. It envelops you in a blanket of softness, of pure nostalgia and it makes you feel safe. To me, this has the same vibe as Lady Rainicorn from Adventure Time. It smells like sweet memories and the heart furniture set in Animal Crossing. It smells like a fluffy, delicately scented bunny plush with a pink lace bow and sparkles. Blowing bubbles out of a pink heart shaped wand….It’s just so….pastel pink and cutesy and lovely. And gosh, the round bottle is so so cute. I need this in my life again.

Edit : I got it :)) What a joy to have this again !!

LITERALLY green tea, marshmallow goodness! Such a nice, fluffy gourmand. It’s sweet with a hint of spice because of the ginger and the smoothness comes from the green tea. The benzoin, vanilla, and marshmallow are really prominent throughout the whole time wearing! The notes are all blended so well together because of the green tea and ginger, this fragrance does not become OVERLY headache-inducing sweet. Well rounded. I feel the florals only come in through the opening, but after it is just sweet, fluffy, cupcake deliciousness! 🧁

Sillage and projection is okay. After the 5 hour mark it dies down to a small scent bubble. You really have to overspray for it to stick longer or else it becomes a skin scent. A really nice unique fragrance, not juvenile at all! 💖

A PLACE this perfume reminds me of: The Land of Milk and Cookies from Shark boy and Lava girl.

A nice fragrance to wear everyday, this can be a nice signature scent for all seasons. Perfect for cute lil dates, picnics, brunch with the girlies 💅🏼 Very feminine. Literally dress like a Bratz doll while wearing this and you’ll be THAT GWORL!!

Smells like Italian Leather by memo

Went in for a interview the guy said damn, we are here to work and I want to eat you up. Yes, I got the job. Says enough 😘

Love at first sniff. I'm smitten and completely in love. Best blind buy purchase I've ever done.

delicious green tea marshmallow scent. i just wish it was longer lasting

I will swap this nigtmare for pretty much anything . Two sprays are gone. Europe.I only blind buy. Waiting for the unknown is part of fun. This one is a total miss.

This is still my #1 perfume. It’s sexiness in a bottle. Smells like creamy matcha ice cream with marshmallows on top and a sprinkle of ginger. I’m obsessed with this scent. It’s sweet, smooth, sexy and seductive with a little spice. It just all blends together in the most unique way. I love it!

This really just smells like marshmallows and playdough to me. It's not offensive or strong. Light, sweet, salty playdough. It's pleasant but not exactly like something I want to smell like.

I’ve never fallen in love so fast with a fragrance! Best blind buy I’ve ever made by far.
From the lemony, citrusy opening that seamlessly blends with the soft, sweet marshmallow. The green tea note created the illusion of a creamy matcha latte topped with marshmallows & lemon zest.

It’s clean & soft while also being gourmand & sweet. I cannot express enough how lovely this wears, you could spray endless amounts and it still wouldn’t be overpowering. Such a well balanced, well blended fragrance.
Longevity is odd, I find it truly comes and goes during the day. Sillage isn’t huge, but everyone I’ve hugged or been in close quarters with has noticed & commented on how beautifully light this fragrance is. “Not to sweet and not too strong” was a review from a male coworker after asking what I was wearing 🥰

Running to buy the full bottle this weekend since it’ll be my Birthday 🍵 🍋🍦

* Layer this with Milk Expressive by Commodity & you’ll smell like a matcha latte with marshmallowy musk✨ also makes it last all day!

Beautiful scent but terrible performance sadly! Zero projection and so so longevity😔 I have to literally put my nose right on it in order to smell it. What a bummer! Although it’s sweet, it doesn’t smell cheap, and for that I give Kilian props. Thought I would just apply more but no matter how much I spray on myself it still doesn’t project, just ended up giving myself a migraine. My husband who always comments on my fragrances didn’t even notice it until I shoved my arm in his face.

It’s simply not worth it for me bc I’m not able to smell it. I think a lot of people don’t want to admit this fault in the fragrance bc they like the scent so much, but there are other fragrances that smell just as nice and actually project/last.. Btw this is the “old” formula I’m reviewing, I read it would have better projection than the new one but sadly it doesn’t.

the longevity is fine but it doesn't project at all.. such a bummer since i really really like the scent. kilian has really been dissappointing me with their performance lately.

Was really excited to try this one, hoping for a sweet scent. While it is pretty, I got mostly tea & a bit of the vanilla. Unfortunately, not special enough for the price

I’ve never scrubbed anything this fast from my body. Wow, what a bizzare perfume. It smells very medicinal. All i smell is green tea , ginger and peach but not in a pleasant way. It has some bitterness to it. It’s as if they just threw a bunch of random things in it and called it a day. I love me some Elizabeth Arden Green Tea and some Indigo by Nest , which both have a divine green tea note. But this is just a joke. For this amount of money to smell like a dirty bag of soggy herbs, no thank you.

@santiniansia the princeless princess by dua fragrances!! it is the exact dupe of this fragrance but it has MUCH better projection and longevity. people could smell it on me even 8hrs after spraying without any retouches!! 100% recommend :)

I really tried to fight the urge to buy this. I got Ari by Ariana Grande because it has the same marshmallow note and better performance. But then I realized I didn't like the raspberry note in Ari, and I was craving the matcha smell of Princess. So I finally went and got a full bottle. It doesn't have the best performance, and sometimes it just disappears for a bit and then comes back. But I can't get the smell out of my head, and I can't find a dupe. So here we are.

@samanthagram, spray a single or two sprays on your clothes instead, then it'll give you 24+ hours...

Finally found my perfect marshmallow fragrance, I just wish it lasted longer! Really lovely and sweet without being over the top gourmand

this is literally my favorite fragrance ever. so perfectly creamy, light, and sweet while being just the right amount of spicy! its so comforting and feels like a warm hug. i just REALLY wish it lasted longer and had better projection so bad!! i strictly buy this in travel sizes cause i know i'm gonna have to reapply every 3-4 hours 😭

update: i layered this with vanille absolu today and these guys walking behind me said “it smells like freshly baked cookies what is that” and the other pointed at me and said “it’s her”. this was like 3 hours after applying and at this point without vanille absolu it’d be a skin scent. try it out!!

i’ve never been one to care or speak on what season a fragrance is right for, but this is the first one i’ve smelled and immediately pictured as a perfect spring fragrance. of course its gourmand nature makes it amazing for the colder months, but something about this just screams spring picnic to me. sweet without being cloying, green without being grassy or heavy. the ginger note is blended perfectly and elevates it so much. if you’re a gourmand girly looking for a lighter fragrance for the upcoming warmer weather, i would definitely say check this one out

What a beautiful fragrance! It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's so comforting, fluffy, sweet, but not overly sweet, with a spice kick from ginger, but it's not too much (I don't like ginger, but here it's not too loud). Perfect everyday fragrance!

This is the fragrance that changed my mind about marshmallow. I've never been a fan of sweet gourmands, but Princess has such a subtle softness that I eventually fell in love. If you've ever opened a fresh package of graham crackers or 'nilla wafers, you'll recognize that scent--the vanilla and ginger muting the sweetness. I love the contrast between the sweetness and the drier notes of tea and lemon. Beautiful.

I can't figure out if I've reviewed this. It's an interesting one. Powdery vanilla with the tiniest pokes of green tea through. Almost dizzying but totally fine enough to wear. Definitely not good to blind buy a whole one. Start with a decant.

My signature I kid you not I got stopped everywhere…layer it with Kayali Vanilla.

For me it's way over the top sweet and gourmand . I think my 9 years old niece would sport it better.

This was love at first sniff! This is sooo good! I literally could not stop smelling this! It definitely gives iced matcha with marshmallow cold foam vibes! I am purchasing this asap! One of the best sweet scents i have ever smelled! Along with “Love Don’t Be Shy” both are absolutely incredible!

It's like drinking a good cup of fresh green tea with a lemon slice, and then eating a whole box of sugarcookies. I wish the fresh top notes would stay around for a little longer. After 10min I get only the marshmallowy cookie warm scent, no more tea. Perfect for grourmand girlies.

Smells like S'mores. Delicious.

literally smells like a princess. a little too sweet/headache-inducing for me, but such a beautifully crafted scent. very pretty & unique!

Like Lost Cherry, smells nice but it doesn’t last! Meh

I see the similarities to Jovoy Remember Me. Jovoy’s version is WAY better than Princess. I suggest going with that instead. Princess has a cheap body spray vibe to it. Reminds me of a $5 Calgon take me away from back in the day lol.

Powdery and juuust slightly sweet green tea scent. One of my dumb reaches. Office friendly. So different and yet so easy to like. Not sticky sweet, no traces of ginger for me, very light and sits close to skin. Makes a lovely and unique daytime signature scent for a woman. Longevity is terrible, but the new bottle is easy to carry around!

I don't smell the masmellow at all🤨🤨🤨 only fresh, ginger and green

I smelled this at Sephora, and it was just like a green tea matcha mochi if you ever had one. I still smell the perfume on the paper after 12 hours, but more fluffy marshmallows. The second the travel size is available, I'm getting one!!

LOVE this. It's warmer than I thought it would be - I got it for the apple scent but I just enjoy how warm it feels and smells.

I just received this in the mail. While on a low buy at the moment, I picked this up because of a lack of light, fluffy, uplifting scents in my mostly darker collection.

I'm so pleased that this is so uplifting, innocent and pure. It reminds me of the cologne I used as a child in the best way possible. It does smell a little like powdered gummies, or pretty dollheads, but I think it is balanced beautifully. It does however lack projection or sillage, and I found that before I appreciated this scent it smelled watered down and dull. However, there are occasions that suit this kind of scent- perfect for bedtime, a "bad day," staying in with your partner when a storm ruins your plans. It is the smell of love and childlike happiness!

It’s weird but I like it. A lot. I love the marshmallow but the ginger throws me off. Spicy in a weird way to me. I don’t hate it though, it does make it unique. I like this perfume and will probably keep it around for a while. Until I find a good marshmallow that blows me away. I typically like a sweet perfume with some complexity to it like Flowerbomb Nectar. I will be trying D&G pour femme and a few others soon to try to find a good marshmallow perfume, this one is a nice one. People around me seem like it too and it lasts decently.

princess is my go to scent and definitely one of my faves :) it's a soft marshmallow, the green tea, lemon, and ginger rounds it out beautifully. i actually think this blend is perfect lol. i rly love how non perfumey it is??

Comforting, sweet marshmallows and green tea with grated ginger. What is there not to like? I prefer this to LDBS. It’s a personal yet long performing fragrance. I own over 120 fragrances. And and a gourmand addict. This made it to my top 5

Overall I found this dull. The opening is pleasant with fruity ginger but that soon whittles down to a barely sweet herbal powder. It reminded me of an unsweetened tea or drink mix.

If this had been marketed as a predominantly green tea scent I would say it somewhat succeeds. The marshmallow thing is misleading as there is just a generic powder note in here. I don’t consider this a sweet scent at all. The name and marketing are totally misaligned.

Yasss honey all the smoke!! I wear her to bed because I love to get scents of her all night and wake up in the silage. Wear this for your lover and you and that person will be engulfed upon waking into deliciousness.

Now I will give you a word of advice the old round bottle which I have.....complete and utter trash. The top gets stuck constantly and mine has scratches from me digging it out with Tweezers. I REPEAT DO NOT GET THE OLD BOTTLE and if you do just never put the top on again and lay it on something soft. It will save you your sanity!

I would say that it leans feminine, but a man could rock it. It's that good and not overly sweet. Better yet wear it and lay all over him if he gets in his feelings over things such the name. lol

This thing is just good good. It hits you at different times of the day to say "Hey girl, I'm still here. Looking and smelling good. Walk that walk. Talk that talk" I definitely reach for this one.

With a name like that, this can't be unisex.

I was excited by the notes so blind bought a travel size and.... I hated it! Months later, I gave it a second chance and fell completely in love. So, I splurged and got a FB and with the first spray... I hated it! It was watery and weak and didn't last and barely had a scent at all. So disappointed!! So, I sought out a dupe which I much preferred to my new original FB and used that instead. However, months later I was halfway through my dupe and was again curious to try my FB and.... fell completely in love?

The only way I can explain this is that this is one of those perfumes that needs to sit for a few months after the first few sprays to really blossom and develop? This has been my experience , anyway.

As to the scent, once it's really developed, I just find it so addicting -- the lemony-ginger-green tea is so comforting and the sweetness from the marshmallow is so delish without being cloying. If I were in my 20's-30's, this would probably be my signature scent. As it is, I'm happy to enjoy it at home as a guilty pleasure of an old-ish lady.

Nice. Nice and simple. The marshmallow is a bit more watery / sugary than it is in Love Don't Be Shy. It's mostly accompanied by the ginger on my skin, while the drydown reveals more of the green tea. It's a lot more wearable than LDBS. Maybe a bit too wearable for my taste? It lasts a long time on me.

I MUST STOP BLIND BUYING!
I am so disappointed by this. I don’t get marshmallow at all. On me, it smells like cheap body spray a tween would wear. It lacks the depth and subtle blending of say, PDM Orianna.
I feel insulted but the crappy sticky label too. At 100quid a bottle, I expect something better than a sticker with air bubbles in.
Perhaps it just needs to sit for a while, I’m surprised due to the rave reviews

Wonderful war pleasant parfum. ongevity quiet good. Perfect for winter and cold weather.
If anyone in Europe sell a bottle please contact me.

It’s weird how they were able to make this smell of marshmallow and yet not juvenile. Very clever. However for me this is very linear, I don’t pick out green tea specifically, although that must be what is keeping this grown up and not toooo sweet and young. It doesn’t change throughout the wear for me though. But I do agree with others that first spraying it you wonder where the fragrance is and then it reveals itself in the coming hours. It’s very nice don’t get me wrong, but I think I was expecting a little more than I got. Not sure the price point reflects the scent if I’m honest. But if you love this then I’m sure it’s worth it, but if you have come here to see if you want it, maybe try one from a dupe house first to see if you like the scent before committing to a real one.

The opening is insanely unassuming. It's so quiet that I thought after my first spray that nothing had come out of the bottle, when in fact, I definitely did feel and see it come out. And I really convinced myself I had some defect kind of spray mechanism to my bottle. Anyway, you do eventually smell it, though, predominantly the green tea and jasmine with that hint of marshmallow than anything else. Idk, it smells cute, but I don't think it's a love for me considering my taste. If anything, I just see this as a gym bag essential. It's an unoffensive, slightly sweet and green scent that won't bother anyone working out beside you.

i will forever be on the hunt for the exact fragrance but without the tea note in the opening. the dry down is so, so gorgeous but the initial green-ness is so off-putting to my nose!

AH it's my favorite perfume of all time.
It's so genius how full of body Kilian perfumes are. So rich, never fake smelling....the true gourmand king.

It's exactly how you want to smell....like the scent oozes out of your pores naturally. Like you are producing it yourself, just casually oozing honey. I loathe anything too synthetic smelling. Kilian is literally the most amazing perfume house!
I kind of wonder what it would look like if he started designing....they aren't related, but clearly he has a great mind for creating atmosphere.
The Perfume:
So cozy and sweet, never chemical. I'm sensitive to many scents and this is so wearable and gourmand! It's pink cashmere. It's marshmallow and chewy ginger cookies with a sweet matcha latte with thick foam.
It's so good I can't describe it without becoming slightly incoherent. My brain just goes " mmmmmmmmm".
Whenever I go out and remove my coat people turn to smell me......I smell like a bakery where after hours the pastry chefs have forbidden sex on the counter and lick chocolate sauce off of each other. yup it's the bomb and I do not apologize for the eroticism this illicits while I'm wearing it
Yummy yummy yummy yummy

It's hot. It's foodie but so adult. It's cozy but it's carnal. LOVE!!!!
