Paris Hilton Heiress fragrance review


Type: Eau de parfum
Size: 50ml

Okay, I admit it, I'm a fan. Paris Hilton's fragrances are consistently fun, pleasant and enjoyable to wear. Basically harmless. Heiress is no different. Aimed at a younger target audience than her two previous fragrances, Heiress (released in 2006) is one for the 14-25 year olds, with an overall light bubblegum scent. Not everyone will love, or even like this one, but I personally think it is youthful and I have often received compliments when I wear this!

The Bottle: Very simple square design with a glittery effect inside the bottle. On the back is a long thin mirror. Not the best bottle by Paris, but the sparkles are fun and pretty much sum up the fragrance inside. Youthful, fun and very girly!

The Fragrance: The fragrance opens with notes of orange, passion fruit and peach giving it an initial fruity impact. I think this fragrance pretty much sums up everything I expect celebrity fragrances to be like, fun and fruity! The fruit is soon subsided to make way for the bubblegum! I personally don't find the middle notes very remarkable (florals such as jasmine and honey suckle) because the bubblegum is still very much dominant. It doesn't smell of fresh fruit at all, and reminds me a little of fruity shampoo. This sounds terrible, but I don't mean it in an unpleasant way. Perhaps, this smells less like a perfume and more like you've had a nice long bath with bubblegum scented wash! It is a very light scent and ideal for day wear. The base notes include violet leaf, but the fragrance seems to simply fizzle out altogether rather than linger on the base notes. The bubblegum and bottled fruits are the dominant scent and remain so throughout. 

Strength: Moderate. It is a light fragrance so doesn't last as long as some of Paris Hilton's other fragrances. An average 3-5 hours.

Verdict: Her youngest and almost certainly fun-est fragrance to date. Perfectly suitable for everyday daytime wear, but not everyone will like this one. People will undoubtedly notice you if you wear this though!
