Vera Wang Perfume- A Fast-Growing Player in the Fragrance Industry

Who would have thought that when U.S. figure skater Vera Wang competed at the national championships and was featured in an issue of Sports Illustrated that same year she would ever end up making her biggest name in the fashion industry?

But with her world-renowned wedding dress designs, she has done just that. Having crafted gowns for big names like Mariah Carey, Holly Hunter, Jennifer Lopez, and Sarah Michelle Gellar, Wang's name is synonymous with quality. And with more recent moves into the fragrance industry, she is poised to collect an equally worthy reputation. In the short time since she set out on her own in 1990, Vera Wang Perfume has grown in options for both men and women. The initial offering was for women in 2002, and while not as strong or appealing as the scents that have followed, set a solid starting point for the brand name.

Preferred consumer choices for her relatively young line of fragrances consist of the following:

Vera Wang for Men (2004)

Following a lukewarm reception of the original feminine scent, the men's line of Vera Wang perfume has shown surprisingly well. Top notes include green mandarin leaf and Yuzu, a citrus fruit from eastern Asia. This part of the scent is sweet and reserved, a sensation that follows through to the middle notes of nutmeg, leather, and anise. The base is the most preferred and longest lasting of the scent, featuring a Sandalwood and tobacco mix that accounts for masculine overtones.

Princess (2006)

If a light and sweet fragrance is your preference, the Princess line from respected perfumer Harry Fremont makes a strong choice. Only four years old, this is one Vera Wang perfume with staying power both literally and metaphorically. It contains a dozen notes of floral sweetness, which include water lily, lady apple, mandarin meringue, apricot skin, and dark chocolate. Another unique touch is ripe pink guava, a myrtle plant native to Mexico, South and Central Americas.

Rock Princess (2009)

The latest scent from Vera takes a more traditional approach, but to equal effect. With top notes that consist of bergamot, white peach, and red raspberry, Rock Princess starts with a strong citrus punch before moving into a more floral arrangement. The heart notes consist of rose, jasmine, lily, and heliotrope, for a bright touch of springtime. The main part of the scent, however, waits in the base notes of cashmere woods, iris, and coconut, for a cool, refreshing, tropical finish.

It remains to be seen when the next masculine scents will debut from Vera Wang Perfume. However, the female line has sustained growth and variety for its short, less-than-ten-years-old lifespan. With other brands consisting of Truly Pink, Bouquet, Look, Sheer Veil, and Flower Princess, Vera Wang will continue its experimentation as it increasingly adds fans of its product.

Has it risen to the top of a climate controlled by the likes of Hugo Boss, Ralph Lauren, and Dolce & Gabbana? Not quite. But with its youth and quickly growing experience, it is safe to say that Vera Wang will command even more respect in the years ahead.

Description

100 percent fruit dried in a bar. Our products are made from pure food ingredients. Our principal raw material is fruit puree, which is prepared by washing the ripe fruit, heating if necessary to soften it, homogenizing it and then screening out seeds and stems. All of our ingredients have been heat treated to kill harmful bacteria. The fruit is usually concentrated to a standard brix (fruit sugar) value and either heat-packed or frozen. In addition to puree, we use small amounts of lemon juice concentrate and sometimes natural flavors. The final manufacturing process involves mixing the ingredients, spreading on trays, and drying overnight in sealed cabinet dryers at low temperature. This slow drying helps preserve the color, flavor, aroma and nutritional value of the fruit our customers have come to enjoy over the years.

Features

  • Pack of 30 half-ounce bars (total of 15 ounces)
  • All-natural, 100%-fruit leather featuring apricots
  • No sugar added; gluten-free; dairy-free; certified kosher
  • One bar equal to one fruit-exchange in diabetic diet
  • Made on Stretch Island, WA

Just the right size

by MaAzCaMdVa from Arlington, VA USA on 2010-03-19
Great low-guilt snack for when you're craving something sweet, especially in the afternoon. Apricot is the tastiest, and we've had cherry, raspberry and strawberry.


Tropical! Where have you gone?!?

by C. Wright from ID on 2010-01-15
This is my SECOND favorite flavor of SI fruit leathers. My all time favorite was the Tropical flavor, but alas they seem to have discontinued it. These bars are a great way to get your fruit serving in and travel very well! I always take them with me on vacation. They make a great snack in the airport and in the car!


no sulfites makes this treat perfect

by aputerlady from Myrtle Beach, SC United States on 2009-06-29
I love dried apricots but they are all treated with sulfites to maintain their color and I can't eat them then. These gems from stretch island solve the problem. They are portable tasty treats. Try all the flavors!


Yummy

by superdrew from Jackson, mi USA on 2009-02-26
Strech Island Makes Absolutely Excellent stuff, and these are no exception. Yummy, like a fruit roll up, but good for you!


Very Good & Yummy - Kids Love It

by Head of the Bay from Maryland, USA on 2007-05-24
It's not something I would normally purchase. Interstingly, the fruit leathers were gone in short order! My three boys loved them. We like the Apricot flavor, but some younger children may prefer the fruitier flavors.

Great product

by M. Sternbach from NJ on 2008-02-28
My family just loves this apricot fruit leather. They are very hard to find and we love that they are available on Amazon!


yummy!

by D. Pawl from Seattle on 2007-05-01
This fruit leather is just tart enough to taste like the apricots that were pressed, along with other fruits, into this delightful, leathery snack. These really satisfy your sweet tooth, and you can eat them happily without feeling pangs of guilt. Also, they have calculated, for diabetics, the sugar level for people with blood sugar issues. This is great and I [sincerely] hope that they don't change their recipe. It's been great for [at least] 20 years.....I remember eating this, when I was a little kid.

What a month of March it was! And after an unusually mild season, too. Old Winter seemed to have hoarded up all his stock of snow and cold weather, and left it as an inheritance to his wild and rollicking heir, that was expending it with lavish extravagance.

Great tasting and healthy! Highly recommend

by from on 2010-08-28
These all-natural fruit strips taste great and are good for you too. This purchase was the first time that I tried this brand and the variety pack allowed me to try all of them. I would highly recommend these fruit strips!


Great Snack Idea

by D. G. Huntley from Maryland, USA on 2010-05-21
I was introduced to this product several years ago and love it. One of the few items I have found that is actually - fruit and nothing else. As new products have hit the market, I'll try them but I still go back to eating the fruit leather. The big box makes the most sense dollar wise especially if you have 2 or more kids.


YUMMY

by from on 2010-04-06
I am 10 years old and I love these things. I always get them when I go to Starbucks with my mom. We have found them online and I am going to get the variety pack. Alexis
