Hidden Fantasy by Britney Spears

There are two versions, the Spanish and the American one, and it seems the Spanish is better. Mine smells like alcohol at first, but these citrus notes improve with maceration; wait a couple of months before applying a lot so it lasts. It smells like orange candies with a hint of clove. For me, it’s orange, sweet notes, and clove; I don’t sense anything else. I’ll update in three months. I compared it to Hugo Boss Woman Extreme: Hugo stays citrusy, while this softens with a slightly powdery sweetness. It macerates much more on the skin than on clothes, giving me vibes of Illicit by Jimmy Choo, sweet and floral. It has good sillage and lasts up to 10 hours on my skin, I love it.

Hidden Fantasy is fresh, citrusy, and spiced. It’s not one of my favorites, but it works great for the office. It has a citrus opening, but more like grapefruit than orange, a bit bitter, maybe due to the clove. It’s spiced, floral, and woody, but not sweet at all; I don’t sense the vanilla or sweet notes. Good performance, I notice it for hours and it has good sillage. It’s one of the ones my husband always praises; he always says ‘you smell so good…’. Maybe because of that, even though it doesn’t make me crazy, it seems super convenient, even if it’s not outstanding for me.

This smells like orange Fanta with steroids. I see it more as a summer scent than for Christmas, unlike other comments. It’s a cheerful perfume, without pretensions, for when you need a good mood boost. The vibe is youthful, but I’d wear it without complexes at 45.

I bought it blindfolded thinking of orange, tangerine, and sweet notes. I thought it would be a sweet citrus experience. But nothing like that; I don’t sense the orange or tangerine, it’s not citrusy, and on my skin it doesn’t last an hour 😔. It was a bad investment; the aroma smells good, even though it wasn’t what I expected, I sense it more for the night and a bit formal. The only downside is that it doesn’t last. It lasts me longer than a body splash 🥱.

This is from the Fantasy line, nothing like the other sweet and sugary flankers. While it is sweet, it’s different; I’d even say it’s unisex. I feel a blast of sweet orange with vanilla, making me think of a mega-sugared Fanta soda and even orange gummies, it’s weird, but it gives me that vibe. In terms of longevity and sillage, quite good in winter (it lasted me about 7 hours with decent sillage). In summer, I don’t recommend it at all; it can be suffocating and fade in less than 3 hours (once I did the test and regretted inventing it). It has good quality, but it’s not the typical girly Britney perfume; if you want something different at a good price (I think it’s around $20), it’s a good option.

I bought it blindly because of the good reviews and… it didn’t hook me. It smells citrusy but weird.

From the start, it feels citrusy, but the main thing is the orange, powerful, not sweet, citrus at its peak. I didn’t think it would be so citrusy; usually, Britney’s are sweet gourmands, fruity, or sweet citrus. But this is well citrusy. As it settles, you notice a floral touch that gives it a boost to stay fresh. In the dry-down, it’s slightly sweet, but the orange remains from start to finish. It smells mature; that’s the clove note, I like it a lot; it’s different but I appreciate it. I feel it’s for warm, windy days; it would be great, even on hot nights. Perfect for spring and hot nights too. It feels slightly unisex due to the orange’s power; I love Britney’s versatility and will keep collecting. Moderate longevity and a very aggressive sillage; be careful with sprays; it’s strong and warm. I’d recommend not wearing it in peak summer heat at 40 degrees.

Spiced orange. I don’t see it as very citrusy because it’s a warm orange. I like it, but the problem is the longevity, which is very scarce, which is rare coming from the Fantasy line that is generally powerful. I wouldn’t buy it again for that reason.

On me, it’s a very autumnal scent, for cold days… and quite creamy. The vanilla, some crisp citrus notes, also stand out. Its opening, I must confess, left me indifferent, but the dry-down was a nasal orgasm, fireworks. Britney perfumes are different and better crafted than many celebrity ones. In my case, I appreciate higher-quality ingredients. Note: its longevity isn’t the eighth wonder, but at that price, I don’t mind reapplying a few hours later. I love it; it’s not invasive and offers moderate sillage. Regarding comparisons, I say it’s nothing like Boss Red or the Orange from this German house. I can’t tolerate those two on my skin after a few hours. However, Hidden Fantasy is something else, much more pleasant and enjoyable. It cost me less than 20 euros (100ml) with shipping included. What more could you ask for in life? Enjoy this magic for lovers of sweet, creamy, vanilla, soft floral scents—with citrus and spicy vibes 😗

Definitely, the Fantasys aren’t my thing; I couldn’t stand the original, and now I tried this one because it was more citrusy, but it didn’t suit me either. It’s not one of those fragrances that makes you fall in love, although it’s not unpleasant either; I just expected more. Poor performance on me.

Sorry, but this isn’t perfume, it’s a pharmacy body splash. They recommended it and I bought 100ml, a huge mistake. It smells good but generic, lasts a breath on skin and nothing on clothes. Not what I expected. Reminds me of Nina Ricci Nina. And I hate the plastic cap, I’ll have to gift it away.

ETERNAL LOVE to this Britney fragrance. It has everything and would take my top spot without a doubt. From the first moment, instant love; it smells different from my other Fantasies, bringing back memories of 90s dolls. Its citrus, sweet, and warm spicy notes make it unique. It’s sweet like the line but different, super special, and I’m fascinated. 10/10, excellent longevity; if I wear it in the morning, when I get home it smells like I just put it on.

What a fine scent: citrus, woody, and sweet, but without that candied sweetness of the other Fantasies. It’s balanced, worth a lot, not trendy, smells sensual and beautiful, original. It has sillage and lasts a long time.

Very rich fragrance, with that vanilla-infused orange note. Reminds me of Armani Code, that style. Nowhere near gourmand like the line, very wearable and exquisite.
