Stella (2014) Stella McCartney Eau de Parfum

Description

Stella (2014) by Stella McCartney is a relaunch of her first fragrance from 2003, whose composition remains unchanged while changes occurred in flacon design and new sizes that will be available on the market.

The first edition of Stella was launched in 2003 and created in collaboration with YSL Beauty. Top notes of the composition accentuate essences of roses blended with peony and mandarin shades, while the heart of the composition is based on intense notes of rose absolute. Base notes were composed of woodsy notes and amber. The perfume was signed by perfumer Jacques Cavallier.

Stella McCartney was once asked during an interview about the perfume and her reply was; “I wanted something delicate and feminine, the rose, to be mixed with something intense and more masculine, amber, contrasting fragility and strength. This was my very first fragrance, it bears my name and expresses a vision of a modern, confident femininity that I still cherish and believe in today”.

Summary of description;

• Soft rosy floral top notes drive the fragrance, subtly balanced with sharp, fresh mandarin essence and light peony flower
• Intensifying and elongating the opening notes, the heart is pure rose, to represent absolute femininity
• Stella’s base notes give a strong, sensual finish. Resonating up through the rose accord, the masculinity of the amber contrasts the floral side, making it bold with a sensual finish.
• This perfume is a homage to the English rose, and an effortless expression of femininity. The refined floral evokes a rose in full bloom in a traditional English garden with a sultry amber contrast.
