About The Princess (Княжна)
Brocard's The Princess Is a Bright Citrus-Musk Floral
Brocard's The Princess (Княжна) is a Musk Floral Woody scent for women dating from 2009. It takes a light, approachable line made for everyday wear.
Grapefruit and orange lead the top, lychee, rose, bergamot and jasmine form the middle, and vanilla with musk make up the base. The effect shifts from zesty freshness to a smooth finish.
Up top, grapefruit feels tart and invigorating, softened by the juicier sweetness of orange. It is a clean, lively entry that sets expectations for the rest.
Through the centre, lychee adds a succulent, faintly exotic fruitiness. Rose brings petal softness, jasmine adds a white-floral lift, while bergamot preserves brightness and stops the bouquet turning heavy.
Underneath, vanilla and musk keep things simple. The vanilla is lightly sugared rather than rich, and the musk lends that laundered, powdery calm.
Citrus, vanilla and musk stand out most, with rosy, fruity, sweet and fresh-spicy nuances around them. Rated 3.39 out of 5 across 180 votes, it comes across as an unpretentious, pleasant wear rather than a highly layered creation.
It should appeal to those who favour discreet musky florals in the daytime, crisp at first then gently sweet. Well suited to lovers of neat, airy scents with modest projection.
The Princess (Княжна) is about ease: tidy citrus, recognisable blossoms and a vanilla-and-musk close. A straightforward, likeable example of Musk Floral Woody perfumery.
