4.9/5

The first fragrance by STELLA McCARTNEY, inspired by the fragile beauty of a rose, is contrasted by sensuality of amber.

Playing with the opposition of the masculine and the feminine as well, the bottle’s lines, both precious and sharp, frame a seemingly infinite plum dégradé.

I love this!

This is gorgeous - possibly my favourite perfume! It's light and summery, you don't need much at all and it smells really fresh. You can definitely smell the floral notes, but there is also a hint of citrus in there somewhere. I love that this is not too overpowering ! I've always had a lot of compliments when wearing this fragrance!

Stella McCartney Stella

This is a wonderful fragrance that I personally would choose to wear more in winter than summer, as for me, it tends to be slightly heavy. On initial application you get a heady smell of roses & if this is where the fragrance ended I probably would choose not to wear as I'm not a lover of rose scents, but this fragrance is full of surprises because as it warms to your skin,you get a whiff of peony & leaves a lingering warm fruity, amber like scent. For me it's a definite must have!

Tips: A little goes a long way with this fragrance,so apply to pulse points rather than spraying indiscriminately

Love your description because the initial blurb about roses would've put me off it, so its good to know it's not too 'rosy'.

A scent thats stellar

Every year my UK in-laws send me Stella. I find it very hard to find a fragrance that suits me and I am very sensitive to many scents. Stella is a light, flirty and ultra-feminine scent. There is a hint of floral that is super sophisticated and is rather dreamy. I really think this is a delicious perfume for any women.

Tips: Can wear any season and is both a day or night scent.

Musk-ualine

Stella is my fall/winter scents. It has a good musk to it without smelling like Nanas lounge. It has floral hints but I wouldn't describe it as a feminine scent. It is very noticeable and I will always get comments (largely from older women) about the scent, or recognizing it.

It might not be right for most which is why it doesn't get full marks for me, I think it is a smell that will polarize people... but I'm a fan :)

Love, love, love

Along with Marc Jacobs Daisy, Stella is one of my signature scents. I have tried all the different versions but I always come back to the original.

It is such a classic timeless scent, it is a floral one but definitely not classed under the 'nana rose' type of floral. It is warm and sophisticated without being too heavy.

I usually wear this at night or in winter as it is quite intense for summer, however I love that the scent becomes more noticeable on your skin as it warms up. It is one of those perfumes that you can still smell hours after you apply it.

Tips: Apply to your pulse points and spritz a bit lightly on your clothes and I promise you will smell the fragrance all day.

Stella

Love it love it love it! Get compliments every time I wear it. Soft feminine fragrance! My friend used it. I bought it and she said it smelt better on me! It is one of my favorites of all times. It's just a really nice fragrance that doesn't over power you. There are other versions of Stella but I like this one the best.

Tips: With any new fragrance! Spray it on your skin first. Leave it for a couple of hours and then smell it. Don't rely on a piece of cardboard to let you know what the actual fragrance will smell like on you!

I have never thought to spray perfume on cardboard. How interesting. I would think it best to spray on yourself as your acidity etc of your skin will definitely change the actual smell of the perfume for sure

One of my all time favs!!

This perfume took me by suprise when I first tried it, my mum brought it first & I tried it reluctantly as was not a floral girl but was pleasantly surprised when I did! I loved the rose fragrance & got so many comments when wearing it. I also found it lasted well during the day but wasnt overpowering.

Tips: A little goes a long way!

My first perfume

Not only is this Stella's first perfume but this was my first perfume too. Seems strange for a 12 year old girl to be wearing something described as "Playing with the opposition of the masculine and the feminine" instead of a sweet, fruity fragrance, however my mum used to wear it and I loved it, so she bought me my first bottle when I was about 16! This fragrance is well described and I think the fact that it has been going strong for so long reiterates how timeless and beautiful the scent is. It is mature and great for night wear. It stays on the skin all day and lasts for a very long time! I find it even stays on my clothes for a while too. A little goes a long way. However, it is not overpowering or strong it's just a subtle smell which reminds me of my mum, but has also been described as a cosy smell which I agree with. Warm and wearable, I would recommend this for people wanting to move away from the sweeter, fruity perfumes and perhaps wanting something for the colder seasons.

Tips: Definitely a scent for winter or Autumn, I would use a little on my neck and wrists, or a little on my clothes as it does stay well on clothing.

Beautiful, classic, elegant, feminine.

I have always absolutely adored this fragrance, and seeing this pop up for review has reminded me that I actually still have a roller ball of this. This is such a beautiful, feminine scent. This is ideal for day time. Although the scent is light it is very long lasting and distinctive. There is something so classy about this scent, if you haven't tried this i would recommend doing so next time your at your local store.

Tips: This is the perfect scent teamed up with beautiful day dresses!

A secret delight.

Stella makes the top two for my all time favourite fragrances. It has been unavailable in NZ for the past few years, and there really isn't anything remotely similar. It is the perfect combination of floral and sweet, classy and girly. It is not a sharp scent, but it does grab your attention. To my taste, no notes stand out more than another and they blend together perfectly.

Stella has just recently been released into the NZ market again, and I was quick to pick up a 100ml bottle. It smells as delicious and 'me' as ever. I love this as an everyday scent, as it doesn't scream for attention, but is still noticed by many. It lasts well on the skin - although perhaps not quite as well as Armani fragrances. The bottle is nothing fancy, but sturdy, practical and great for travelling. The final selling point for me is that this fragrance isn't widely worn. Not many people have tried it, know about it or wear it, so it is more of a signature scent. I will continue to reach for this fragrance and am very likely to repurchase in the future.

Tips: Leave this to settle for a few minutes as it is sharp as soon as it is applied.
