Type: Eau de parfum
Size: 30ml
With the massive global success of Fantasy and Midnight Fantasy, in 2009 Britney released another spin off fragrance called hidden fantasy. I have to admit that this fragrance has really grown on me and I wish I had bought a bigger size bottle as I can see myself getting through this one very fast! The more I wear this the more I love it. I would say it is slightly more mature smelling than fantasy, but less so than midnight fantasy. The cupcake, sugary, candy-sweetness the fantasy range is famous for, is still there but slightly subtler than the original. This fragrance is warmer and more comforting than the previous fragrances, making it perfect for wearing in winter.
The Bottle: The same as fantasy and midnight fantasy, but in a deep red colour with light pink swarvoski crystals. The red is reflective of the juice inside, with it being a warm and fun fragrance.
The Fragrance: With fruity top notes including tangerine and grapefruit, the initial blast is unsurprisingly incredibly sweet. My initial impression of the top notes were comparable with foods such as cake-icing and lemon butter-cream. Typical of Britney, this fragrance is sweet! Not as cupcakey as fantasy but much sweeter than midnight fantasy. The fragrance soon calms down into a creamy sensual blend of sweet and spicey, the spice being subtle but still recognizable. There is a hint of cherryade pop about this fragrance but it is overall really yummy. The fragrance does calm down considerably after the first hour, with the peppery spice becoming slightly more apparent and warm base notes of amber, vanilla and sandalwood emerging. The end result is subtle, warm and mysterious.
Strength: Not as strong as the original fantasy, but still okay lasting power. Around 3-5 hours.
Verdict: More interesting, sexy and warm than the original fantasy. The warm base notes and spice mean it is a winter fragrance. I can imagine if you wore this in the blazing sunshine you would soon begin to feel sick and headachey, so use sparingly in the cold months to feel warm and sensual. Slightly more mature and sexy than the other fantasy fragrances. Perhaps aimed at the 20-30 age range, although, judging by the packaging and bright bottle, I'm not sure most people would realise this. Overall a sweet and yummy scent.
Rating: 7 out of 10.
