Britney Spears Hidden Fantasy Eau de Parfum - 100 ml

Product Information

Hidden fantasy isn't my most favorite britney perfume but I like it and I'm glad to have a 3.3oz it's something I'll use when I'm in it's mood but one can use it in daily basis too.I usually wear it when I go for a walk in nearby park with my man evenings or late at night or when we're having a nice family night at home watching movies and eating home made cake and a cup of tea

Edit: a reviewer mentioned D&G The One, I can see why: the mandarin orange, lily note and amber of The One give the same type of sweetness, but to me The One is too serious, sometimes it even reminds me of the incense of lily&honey. Not something i reject, but def wouldnt buy, too heavy for me, plum, vetiver, litchi ohh too much. Ive tried to work with The One countless times and just cant. Hidden Fantasy is fresher, candy-like, playful but elegant. I don't care about the hate this comment will garner, but Britney Spears' Hidden Fantasy's fragrance is exponentially superior to Chanel's Coco eau de parfum (present formulation, NOT the vintage). The performance makes this pretty much pointless. I disappears within about 10 minutes. I get long enough to think "Oh, this is pretty", then it's pretty much gone. There is never any sillage, even within minutes of application, I have to touch my nose to my skin to smell it. I can't smell it at all within 10-15 minutes. I even tried seriously overspraying it to see if it would help. Even after 30 sprays (4-6 sprays is my usual) I still can't smell it on skin or clothes. Hidden fantasy was totally different with my imaginations,I had different imaginations and neither of them were true.orange isn't sour or acidic here and I'm thankful for that since sour citric notes give me toothache.it also doesnt smell like fake orange in cleaning products.it has a natural freshness when first sprayed but soon it warms up.

About

The first thing that caught me by surprise was the stingy alcohol scent along with a bitterness, but it goes away within seconds. The citrus really only lasts a couple of minutes as well. It's definitely sweet, cake-like. I've read about an unlisted note of Neapolitan cake, which makes sense because it has this vanilla chocolate quality to it. This perfume is the closest I'll ever get to having a Orange Poppy Seed cake with orange icing - without the delicious dessert being in my gluttonous fists! Cos it's Christmas now i've been spraying my jumpers with it and it doesn't even last on those. Dunno but i always associate Orange scents with Christmas.

This was a blind buy at Action at a good price (100 ml), with a batch code from october 2016. Since I love the original fantasy and gourmands in general I felt confident to buy it since there was no tester. It opens with a LOT of orange, almost like orange juice, too much for my liking. You really have to love oranges to like this perfume!! Then it smells a lot like gluhwein or christmas, and the drydown is actually quite good, spices with a bit of orange, and has decent -not the best- lasting power. On initial application there is a very stong burst of alcohol, but within a few minutes that's gone. Then it's a very nice smelling softly spiced orange cream. I found it quite linear, but it doesn't last long enough to develop into anything else. It works as a flanker to Fantasy because it smells like a sweet dessert, but it doesn't share the same DNA. I only know it is a flanker because of the name and the coordinating bottle.

Shop With Confidence

I always felt like I can't fully understand this perfume.we don't have Christmas but I always had something particular in my mind as a Christmas scent,Etat de libre orange Noel au Balcon or Oriflame Love Potion are much closer to my imaginations of a Christmas perfume than Hidden Fantasy

I am re-writing my review of Hidden Fantasy as I feel that my previous review, (written almost a decade ago), does not reflect my current opinions regarding this often underrated Britney Spears fragrance.I bought this recently because the craving just wouldn't go away. It's my 2nd or 3rd bottle now - I'm not even sure anymore, and the juice is EXACTLY the same to when I first bought it about 10 years ago! Thank God. To be honest, Hidden Fantasy was a huge disappointment to me. I had high hopes, as it often gets recommended as an atypical, kind of spicy celeb scent, and many say it smells like Christmas. That all sounded great to me and I often pondered over blind buying a bottle as it‘s also available for such a cheap price. But in the end I‘m very glad I got a sample in a swap, as it doesn‘t smell like I expected at all. I couldn't see Hidden Fantasy as a winter perfume,it was a year rounder for me,and I didn't find it as sweet or gourmand or spicy as my expectations It's so soft and cuddly,so comforting and so nice that whenever I feel cold and blue I use it to cheer me up and boost my mood.I find it nostalgic as it reminds me of the homemade orange-vanilla cake my mom used to bake and serve it with a cup of warm,cinnamon tea
