Britney Spears Fantasy Fragrance Review


Type: Eau de Parfum 
Size: 30ml

I kind of get the impression when I see this fragrance that every girl between the ages of, I don't know, 15 and 25, seem to have a bottle of this. When celebrity perfumes are mentioned in conversation, this seems to be the one that always pops up. With notes such as cupcake and white chocolate it is perfectly understandable why this fragrance is so popular. 

Bottle: The bottle is incredibly cute and, like the fragrance, not incredibly mature or classy looking. The hot pink, slightly sparkly glass with green swarvoski crystals embedded inside look great on your dresser. I think the bottle, like the perfume inside, is a "love it or hate it" thing, and I personally love it! It's harmless, sweet fun! 

The Fragrance: Like I said before, this fragrance is incredibly sweet! VERY VERY SWEET infact. The initial blast is incredibly powerful, with top notes of red lychee, golden quince and exotic kiwi. The top notes soon calm down but the middle notes are no less subtle: white chocolate orchid, cupcake and jasmine petals create a candy-like smell which is yummy but not incredibly mature. The florals are subtle and powdery, with the food-smells shining through. The middle note lasts for a long time, so if you don't like it by now I wouldn't recommend buying! When the middle note eventually dries down the base is soft and creamy, with sensual woods and orris root. Here the florals are slightly more obvious, but the sweetness still remains dominant right until the end!

Strength: The staying power of this fragrance is very good! It lasts a good 4-6 hours and the middle notes are the longest, lasting the majority of the length. Layer the fragrance with the shower gel or body souffle to make it last the whole day!

Verdict: An incredibly fun, sweet and yummy fragrance. Not incredibly grown-up, but very likeable. I think most people would sum this fragrance up with "guilty pleasure" and I am certainly one of those people! 

Rating: 7 out of 10.
