Stella Eau de Toilette

I love absolutely everything Stella. Everything, so I had to have a bottle of the EDT. I figured, even if I didn't love the juice, she's still going to have a place in my Stella flanker collection. Well, I ended up loving the juice. Stella EDT is the EDP's lighter, flirtier younger sister. The Stella DNA that we all know and love is 100% there, just more toned down and with a bit of a lemon-y twist. This is very similar to the Stella EDP, original formula on me. The fresh, alcohol-y top note fades away pretty quickly to reveal the heart of the fragrance, which is a slightly sweet, somewhat distant yet warm at the same time rose & peony scent, along with that distinct amber base. I can totally see myself wearing this regularly during the spring and summertime.

A very sweet peony, rosy scent with a dominant amber base. A nice spicy floral if you like sweet scents. Does remind me a lot of oscar de la renta rose in the dark pink bottle with the flower looking cap.

On first spritz this bored me to tears, however the dry down is wonderful and unique. This really lingers and has a pleasant dewy after scent. The main notes for me are sweet rose, peony, freesia and lemon. I agree with other reviewers below that it has a creaminess about it. I don't really detect amber in this which I am happy about because I don't think it would go nicely. This fragrance for me is girly but has a sort of alternative feel to it. It smells like bubble bath to me sometimes. I like it- I have never smelled anything quite like it. It smells a little vinyl to me on drydown. I must say however I have only tested this on card not my skin, so at this stage I would not buy it- as I have found the ones I love on card usually go awful or are neutral with my skin chemistry. However so far, so good. I hope to test it on my skin soon and do an update. scent= 5/10 Bottle= 7/10

This fragrance is very fresh and pretty with a burst of lemon and rose but unfortunately, it doesn't last long on me so I'm always having to reapply during the day.

No. A sharp spike of sour lemon goes up my nose and into my brain, followed by a sour rose. The two sour accords are violent and mean spirited in nature. Reminds me of a group of mean girls sitting around looking obnoxious and trash talking everyone around them. Unfortunately it also reminds of Marc Jacobs Daisy with that awful artificial lemon accord that makes me want to run away whenever I smell it in the street. Hopefully, not many will be wearing this because Daisy is already too prevalent in my city..The original Stella, however, is lovely and the reason is the balance between the sour, old fashioned rose, and the rich, warm amber. This one has no balance. Its shrill, cold, artificial, and "modern" in the worst possible way.
