I love it! It smells sweet without being overwhelming, like white-frosted cakes filled with fruit. It’s super versatile; I wear it all day and in any weather. Unbeatable value for a celebrity perfume: it lasts long and sticks to clothes. I bought it blind and would do it again with a flanker. 10/10
A nostalgic fantasy, an icon that brings back my youth. It’s rich, though it’s not quite what it used to be; now they sell it very diluted. The Intense version definitely has the power of before.
I got this Britney Spears perfume. I liked it at first, but now I don’t wear it as much. Recommended for those who love sweet and fruity scents. You can really smell the kiwi, white chocolate, the little cake, and the musk. Ideal for all daytime seasons. Very youthful, every girl from the 2000s loves it. 8/10
Good, good, what else to say? I spray it on and I’m back to 15, running away to play bottle cap until 3 AM in the summer. It smells great and everyone says I smell good. It simply never fails. The longevity isn’t great, but that’s known. I don’t smell the chocolate, just the fruits.
I love it, it brings back my teenage memories. I still enjoy it a lot: it’s super sweet, tropical, fruity, and cheerful, very youthful.
It disappointed me a bit. It’s delicious, but you get carried away by the chocolate and cupcake notes, which I personally don’t detect; maybe they blend too much with my skin. Right after applying, it smells like intense, sweet, synthetic kiwi, loud (I love it, it’s like a kiwi gummy or gum with quince paste sweetness). After 30 minutes to an hour, it disperses and the gourmand notes appear more and more. On my skin, white chocolate predominates, a bit waxy and sweet. It goes well with some vanilla cake or cupcake fragrances that boost its aroma. It lasts max 4 hours and the sillage isn’t that good. I was sad because everyone talks so highly of it. Although it’s very recognized, I hadn’t tried it until now and I liked it: it’s sweet, eye-catching, and unique (not cloying or ‘clean’ like others say). I loved it, but don’t get carried away by the heart notes, or you’ll have a heavy disappointment. It’s a kiwi fragrance that later mutates into a very light vanilla aroma.
A white chocolate cupcake, a pink bottle with Swarovski crystals, and the Britney seal as the owner: is there anything a 90s girl could ask for? Fantasy is pure fantasy, glamour, and sweetness. It doesn’t sell sophistication or complex aromas, just the feeling of smelling like Britney dancing to ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’ dressed as a schoolgirl (and that’s a lot).
Vulgar and childish.
The original was a masterpiece: a loud, unmistakable explosion of white chocolate and cotton candy. A gem that no longer exists thanks to reformulations. Now I smell kiwi and sour little fruits, something sweet… and it fades. Then sadness invades you, unable to feel that scent again.
I smell a minty note that I don’t like, I gave it to my 12-year-old sister.
Britney Spears’ Fantasy was my first perfume and it sparked my addiction to sweet scents. Its trail is delicious: intensely sweet but not cloying, and it’s definitely one of the best drugstore perfumes I’ve ever tried.
10/10, gives off sexy vibes. It lasts a long time on my skin and dries down to that sweet, rich scent. The price? Wow.
I stole it from my sister because she doesn’t use it anymore and I don’t think she’ll miss it.
Seriously, it smells identical to Ciel Nuit by Fragrances Cannon (even though jasmine is the only note they share).
I haven’t tried the previous version, but I like this one. The kiwi note feels a bit synthetic, but it doesn’t bother me at all. It dries down to something sweet and clean that absolutely captivates me. The longevity isn’t the best, but I don’t mind reapplying.
At first, it smells a bit acidic, but then a sweetness emerges that isn’t cloying, with a fruity touch. It’s perfect for all ages, a 9/10 for quality and price.
I hate the opening of this perfume; it’s very alcoholic… But oh my god, when it dries down, it’s literally chocolate, a creamy dessert. The perfume is very rich, but only the dry down. When you apply it too heavily.
I bought it for the hype; I feel the touch at the end along with the chocolate. What I notice most is the kiwi with a bit of jasmine and the lychee clinging to the skin. The longevity is a maximum of 4 hours, which honestly disappoints me a bit.
I bought it with great excitement after YouTube reviews described it as a dessert, even warning about the reformulation and that it now smells more diluted, yet still recommending it… well… I decided to grab it online since it’s cheap, and what a disappointment. Rarely do I speak so poorly of a fragrance, and this is the exception. What a terrible perfume… I’m sorry, I know it hurts to criticize your favorite, but my nose detects a vulgar, even common scent. Sorry for being harsh, but the first thing that comes to mind is something without class. I know you can’t expect much from a designer, but… I’ve heard better scents from others like Billie Eilish, Katy Perry, or Paris Hilton, and while they aren’t masterpieces, they are at least wearable. For now, I only use it to sleep in, scent the bathroom, and pray it ends soon. I can’t give it away; I repeat: I consider it very bad taste. It’s a vulgar sweetness; I don’t detect the pancake note… it’s just sweet with something weird mixed in. I don’t know if it’s the kiwi everyone complains about; maybe that ruins the perfume. I’m stepping back, saying I’m sorry for my harsh criticism and understanding if I get dislikes: 👎
About this fragrance, I like that it’s sweet but not cloying. To me, it smells mostly of kiwi, then it blends into a sweet scent like a pastry, though it doesn’t smell exactly like a pastry, just a slight resemblance. The projection is quite good; the other day at work, people smelled it and even asked if I was wearing Fantasy, so yes, the scent reaches others. The longevity is good; I never have to reapply. I recommend it if you want a fruity, sweet perfume that isn’t cloying, plus it’s very reasonably priced.
Bought it just because it’s Britney and I love lychee, but it didn’t show up on my skin at all. At first, it’s rich with a strong kiwi note that makes it interesting, but then it gets too sweet for me. If you love florals, be warned: after a few minutes, it might hurt your nose.
Mmm, I prefer the imitations on my skin. This comes out very acidic with lots of kiwi, which is a pity because I just can’t handle that. It feels like the scent doesn’t suit me, like my body doesn’t want to smell like that.
I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either. I like sweet scents, but this seems a bit annoying—maybe not as much as Pink Sugar, but it does get on my nerves. I do have to admit it’s a bomb in terms of longevity and sillage for a celebrity perfume at $20.
Either I have terrible taste, or every perfume I thought I’d love has disappointed me. It starts with that acidic kiwi and lychee blast, which surprised me with how exotic it smells. Then it shifts and becomes gourmand and delicious. If that little cake note came from the start instead of the acidic opening, it would be perfect. Those initial notes made me think of my mom’s perfume and gave me instant rejection. If you like unique scents, you’ll love it; it’s feminine but with personality. You just have to learn to like it; it’s not easy.
I don’t know if I got the reformulated version, but it seems terrible. After reading hundreds of glowing reviews, I decided to buy it and now I hate it. I’ve given it a thousand chances and I just can’t deal with it. The pancake and white chocolate notes are nonexistent; I only smell a horrible, synthetic, acidic kiwi and quince that never evolves. If you plan to buy it, don’t, because the version everyone talks about doesn’t exist anymore; it smells awful now.
I love it! I bought it recently because I was looking for a super sweet perfume; it’s gorgeous! It reminds me a lot of Little Women’s ‘Funny’—probably the latter is a dupe of Fantasy.
I adore this fragrance. I’ve been wearing it since I was 15, and today, at 32, I’m still buying it.
I love it so much; it’s delicious. It’s like a kiwi cupcake with a touch of quince and lychee, plus very subtle white chocolate notes. At first, I smell a lot of kiwi, quince, and a bit of lychee, but once it dries down, that fruity cupcake with white chocolate note comes through. Longevity and projection are moderate.
I absolutely love this timeless perfume! If you like sparkly, sweet, youthful, and gourmand scents, this is the one! It has the perfect balance; women over 30 feel transported back to their teenage years.
I keep buying it for the memories it evokes; it’s my signature and I wear it 80% of the days, cold or hot. I adore the scent; it feels timeless. On my skin, the kiwi opening is strong, but then it settles into something sweeter, though I don’t quite remember that old-fashioned pastry vibe anymore. Still a delight. Worth mentioning longevity and projection: very scarce for me. The opposite of its sibling, Midnight Fantasy. In short, a delicious aroma (maybe just my nostalgia), if you want people to smell it you’ll need to reapply, but for the price it’s worth it. Great perfume for everyday wear.
