The review

On paper, American Princess is a strong bet if you want Princess for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Princess's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $91 per 100ml it costs 88% less than Princess — the 5th cheapest of 10 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on bergamot and neroli, turns to orange blossom and marshmallow, and settles into vanilla, musk and Tonka Bean. That is the brief American Princess is working from.

Top

  • bergamot
  • neroli

Heart

  • orange blossom
  • marshmallow

Base

  • vanilla
  • musk
  • Tonka Bean
Fizzy neroli over marshmallow vanilla, sunny and sugared without tipping into cloying.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
