Betty Boop Princess Eau de Parfum arrived in 2012 as a playful yet sophisticated fragrance inspired by the iconic cartoon character. This women's perfume combines fresh citrus with lush florals and warm base notes, creating a balanced composition that appeals to those who appreciate accessible, wearable scents with personality.
Scent Breakdown
Top Notes: Fresh and Bright
Bergamot and grapefruit provide the opening sparkle, delivering instant freshness with citrus brightness. The addition of ozone creates an airy, clean quality that lifts the composition and adds modernity to what could otherwise be a traditional floral. This combination makes the first spray light and inviting rather than heavy or sweet.
Heart Notes: Classic Florals
Gardenia, jasmine, and rose form the heart of Betty Boop Princess, offering a timeless floral bouquet. The gardenia contributes creamy richness, while jasmine adds depth and slight indolic character. Rose rounds out the trio with soft, feminine elegance. These three florals work together without any single note dominating, creating harmony in the middle phase.
Base Notes: Warm Foundation
Amber, musk, sandalwood, and vanilla anchor the fragrance with comforting warmth. The base develops gradually, revealing sweet vanilla balanced by the woody character of sandalwood and the soft sensuality of musk. Amber adds a resinous glow that ties everything together, ensuring the dry-down remains interesting as the florals fade.
What to Expect
Longevity ranges from 5-7 hours depending on skin chemistry and application method. The projection is moderate—noticeable in close proximity but not room-filling. Sillage remains pleasant without being overbearing, making this an appropriate choice for various settings. The tester format offers the same authentic fragrance as retail packaging, just without the decorative box.
Ideal For
- Women who enjoy sweet floral fragrances with character
- Daytime wear and casual occasions
- Spring and summer months when lighter scents excel
- Those seeking affordable quality perfume
- Fans of nostalgic, fun fragrance concepts
- Gift-giving for younger women or collectors
How to Wear
Apply to pulse points after showering when skin is clean and slightly damp. Focus on wrists, neck, and décolletage for best results. The EDP concentration means you need fewer sprays than lighter formulations—start with two and add more only if needed. Avoid rubbing wrists together, as this breaks down the fragrance molecules.
