Flight Of Fancy

I love this scent. I was trying to find one close to Absolutely Givenchy and noticed this one was often mentioned to remind of it, so I just got it due to these reviews and the description. It is very similar, fruity and pure scent which reminds me of drinking a few cocktails in a fruit garden on a sunny summer day, laughing, dancing and having joyful moments surrounded by my closest friends. It makes me feel happy and beautiful. This is a great scent bringing such words as young, fresh and joyful to your mind.

This is a beautiful feminine scent. It is so delicate and fresh that it can be worn everyday. It is so subtle and non-intrusive that it is totally appropriate for office wear and to wear around people who don't particularly like perfume. I guess the only downside for me is that the scent does not last very long due to its lightness. Usually it's the muskiness that makes scents linger... so this one definately doesn't have a long life. It is more like a fancy body mist. But nevertheless, I love it <3

I have never been so addicted to a perfume as much as flight of fancy. I'm usually a gourmand lover, but there is such depth to this perfume that I had to buy it. It starts off fresh citrus with the lemon and yuzu that intoxicates with litchi. After about 40 minutes it goes into a fruity floral mix. 2 hours worn, the scent changes into dry woods with a sweet musk that is delicious.

tried this for the first time after wanting to try it a few times as a blind buy but ended up picking something else because I love all her bottles 🌼really nice had fairy dance and another yellow one but this is nicest sweet enough that it lasts a good 4 hours but not overpowering great for day time and nice bottle also perfect for a gift too 8/10

I love& adore this scent...even tho,none of Annas perfumes last,i love her creations as far as scents go& the way she designs her bottles!¡! Lovely,fun,flirty,delicate& slightly refreshingly sweet...notes are always spot on...i do wish this lasted longer,or atleast to wear it is not a skin scent,but everything ive tried from her smells perfect♡

On me, this fragrance does not project itself quite well. It stays really close to my skin and i find it inoffensive and quite innocent. For me, this is a good day to day scent. It is comfy and i can live with it and that is really saying a lot because i am the type of person that is easily irritable by perfumes.

This is absolutely gorgeous I love it a soft fruity floral in a fantastic bottle beautiful all round in my top 5 for sure just LOVELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i really LOOOVE this perfume!!this is the second perfume that i have and it makes me wanna buy more and more anna sui's perfumes!

absolutely a Saturday night choice, smells that u want you're boyfriend to remember with :)

I been using it for 5 years.. love it so much...it fresh me whole the day...

on my skin, it smells like a pomelo :) luv it

Flight of Fancy starts with a burst of peach-y sweetness, it's fruity, juice, generic but not in the bad synthetic plastic headache-inducing strong way. Soon after the lovely sweet-16 kinda opening, I can smell some really fainted pepper and sweetness in the citrusy side. I can't really smell the notes mentioned here, but a quite harmonic blend of light floral citrusy fruit teen kinda concoction. Then the perfume gets really faint, despite the fact I sprayed 3 sprays on me (I normally only use one spray of most my perfumes and they stay quite well), and somewhat sour/acidic, maybe it’s the yuzu and floral combination. The sour/acidic aspect reminds me quite a lot of Ralph Lauren Romance, but in Flight of Fancy, it smells much better and prettier due to the floral sweeten and brighten up the whole fragrance. At one moment Flight of Fancy reminds me of discreet combination of Moschino Funny! + Burberry Brit Sheer + Dior Addict II + YSL Baby Doll + pretty light rose sweetness. The dry down is really soft, in a comfy sweet way, I can’t detect musk or amber, a little bit sweet woody maybe, but all in a really discreet, soft way, and really close to skin. Flight of Fancy is pretty, I can see teenagers loving this one, and it is so Anna Sui, pretty and girly cute; even though it’s generic, but it doesn’t have the synthetic pink plastic smell in some of the new perfumes launched after 2005. However, the sillage and lasting power is so weak, I would call it a watered-down body spray, it can be a cute gift, but I wouldn’t recommend you splurge on this.

Flight of Fancy opens with notes of lychee, yuzu and lemon which develop into a floral heart with notes of magnolia, rose and freesia. The base is built around musk, amber and sandalwood. As soon as I spray Flight of Fancy on my skin I am surrounded with a cool, juicy, citrus freshness. The lychee is irresistible, the yuzu is breathtakingly beautiful and addictive and the lemon is freshness galore. I do not get any of the heart notes at all which, I think, is actually perfect as there is nothing that spoils the invigorating freshness of the scent. At some point I notice a faint whiff of musk that has come out of obscurity and adds a bit of sex appeal to this overall juicy perfume. Flight of Fancy is a great scent for the hottest of summer days and one of only a handful of perfumes that really help you cool down in the heat. It offers instant refreshment and cool blast of sugar-free juiciness. Unfortunately it is rather fleeting and disappears without leaving a trace on my skin in roughly an hour. If this perfume had staying power, Anna Sui would have had a winner on their hands. And if it lasted longer and had some sillage, it would make my top 20 easily. Still, the opening is that refreshingly juicy that I spray some Flight of Fancy on my skin every ten minutes anyway. The scent is addictive and even somewhat sexy. I really do love it.

Like another reviewer, I found this in a 3 pack at Ross for about 15$. Who can resist at prices that low? And at 15 mL its small enough that if I didnt like it I wouldn't have much to work on to get rid of it. Even the bottles are absolutely adorable! Many miniatures or purse size perfumes are very basic. This I could be able to find in a handbag without looking because of the tapered design and the stopper is a giant flower. Very cute for display. At first application there is a heavy scent of tangerine and Yuzu. I don't get simple orange or lemon maybe it's the Yuzu doing its thing. The minute the liquid starts drying its a bouquet of flowers which slowly fades and lingers. I miss the Litchi completely in this. The opening is energizing in this and nothing about any of it is remotely overpowering. Had I a nose for perfume in my youth I would have wanted to smell like this in my teens. As is, its innocuous enough that I would wear this to work out in.

Flight of Fancy...where do I begin with you? Maybe I shall comment on the bottle first. It's so pretty; very girly, teenage-dream-ish kind, and I honestly fell in love with the bottle first before the scent. The scent itself lacks any particular distinction, but it's not intrusive and it's generic enough to be liked by most people. It's a safe choice: when I have no idea which perfume I should wear, Flight of Fancy is the one I reach for. Fresh enough to be light, but rich enough for it to be enjoyable. Longevity and sillage do leave a lot to be desired, though: after an hour or so only a very faint fruity smell remains. Overall, I love this. I have another Anna Sui perfume: Forbidden Affair, which I think has more personalities than Flight of Fancy, but it's not as versatile as this cute little one. Flight of Fancy is cute, fancy and girly, even though it's nothing really head-turning. Rating: 7/10

I just bought an Anna Sui 3 pack of roller ball perfumes at Ross for $14.99! Came in a super cute floral printed tin container. - Secret Wish - Flight of Fancy - La Vie De Boheme All are in the same Family, all are Sisters for sure. Young and fresh scents! All have sweet and sour notes. All are lovely but none seem to 'wow' me. Perfect for everyday as none of these are offensive or terribly over powering. I look forward to wearing and getting to know them better. As i am reviewing them with just my initial reaction to removing the caps. I can say my 3 year old Daughter thinks they all smell nice, her fave is 'Secret Wish'. I do not have a fave as they remind me of one another quite a lot. I would not suggest spending a lot of money on a larger bottle of any of these. But at $15 for all three its worth it, as thats just $5 each 0.3 fl oz. each. Look on ebay for this!

I found a 3 pack with Flight of Fancy, Fairy Dance and Secret Wish at Ross for $14.99, and already loving Anna Sui's fragrances (I own Secret Wish and Dolly Girl), I snapped it up! Flight of Fancy isn't all that different from Secret Wish,it is a fresh and bright citrus scent.I spray quite heavily (maybe 8 sprays at different pulse points on my body) and it is very light,like her others. It's only been about 10 minutes and I really have to bring my nose right up to it to smell it, but I don't mind,since I am used to freshening up throughout the day. It starts out like oranges and grapefruits on me,and then there is a very faint scent of yellow roses,which are my favourite. All in all,another great spring/summer scent that is office safe!

I got this as test vials that came free with perfumes I purchased online. At first sniff, I felt I was transported to an Ashram. The first thing that came to mind was Ashram. Kinda like an incense smell that you can expect from a beautiful yoga resort, or a meditation garden and an Ashram maybe(I've never been in an Ashram, so I couldn't be sure). For me, it's more to a personal smell, one that is made for you to enjoy if you do yoga or meditation. I'm Chinese, and I am a Buddhist, so thats how I feel about this scent. I can't say I love it, but there is a sweetness in the scent and I kinda like it. It really relaxes me aspecially putting it on after taking a shower and reading while lying in bed. A personal scent...

This is a fresh, juicy fruit and sugary lemon fragrance with delicate spring florals and a gentle, sweet musk dry down which I loved. It is very easy to wear but requires reapplication throughout the day. It's well suited to spring and summer seasons and doesn't ever get cloying in the heat. I found it uplifting to apply and wear in a similar way to Moschino I Love Love. After I purchased MILL, I gifted this to my teenage niece. After the first spray she remarked "Oh, wow! This is really nice!" (When your auntie gives you a perfume you've never tried before, you brace yourself for what might be coming.) I was happy it was a pleasant surprise for her. :)

Fresh, fruity and very light. Whenever I first put this on, I picture biting into fresh, wet fruit. I tend to be nervous of lemon scents (too worried I'll smell like the cleaners that give me a headache), but in this the lemon is barely noticeable--it's the yuzu and litchi that come through. They recede after 1-2 hours (although I can still smell them a bit) and then it's fresh florals with a woody undertone for the rest of the day. This is a VERY light perfume--one of the few I'll put on more than just a spray of. If you're prone to headaches like me this may be just perfect for you, but if you like your perfumes big and bold you may be disappointed.

This is pretty good if you haven’t yet come across Salvatore Feragamo’s Incanto Charms or Beyonce’s Heat Mrs Carter Tour fragrances. After dabbing a decent amount on my arm, the top notes went from Incanto Charms to Heat Mrs Carter Tour. Heat MCT is VERY similar to Lanvin Eclat d’Arpege, which I found out AFTER I purchased a bottle of Heat MCT. I think Lanvin is a better concentration and therefore, a better investment. EDIT: PLUS, Heat Mrs. Carter Tour is a limited edition. Lanvin is less expensive and readily available.

Magical fruity floral fragrance with phenomenal bottle design. ;) It opens with super fresh citrus then dries down to dreamy floral which is so young and girly. I love to wear this perfume when I want to lift up my mood. The lasting power is okay. It lasts about 6 hours on me. The sillage is moderate. You can smell it so strong at couple hours then it sits close to your skin. I think this perfume is very easy-to-wear and perfect for everyday use. :D

The opening is a very pretty sweet litchi blended with yuzu. Sweet with a bit of crispiness. It's a shame that the beautiful opening quickly disappeared and became the very typical musky scent found in other anna sui perfumes. (like secret wish) This drydown last pretty long on my skin tho. But it's just a boring scent comparing to the beautiful opening scent.

It's a good fragrance but a little too light. Somewhat similar to the Incanto line by Salvatore Ferregamo. The lasting power isn't the greatest. It smells fresh and airy at first thanks to the litchi and lemon top notes. Good for everyday use, it's girly and sweet but not memorable. The bottle is very pretty to look at. Not cheap looking like some might think.

This is fruity, sweet and very youthful. Suitable for teenagers, I think. I'm in my early 20s, but I don't think I could wear it. It's not bad, but the sweetness reminds me of one perfume called Sweet Emotion, I used to wear many years ago. (When I was a teenager). It's like a "Barbie girl" fragrance, so sweet and girly.

Really like it & the best thing is the fruits are combined beautifully. Got to say i dont usually like fruity fragrances much but this is kinda light & has a delicious factor to it that makes you want to lick it off your own wrist. Its pleasent but as mentioned b4 it is not long lasting at all & such a pity it is.

Flight of Fancy starts out with citrusy fruits, it then turns to kind of a soapy, floral smell and then eventually I can smell the woody notes. A very light, happy scent. Although it may need to be reapplied as it does not last very long (on me anyway). Would recommend for bright, sunny summer days.

Nice, innocuous lemon scent. Very faint, to the point where you might have to pour on a whole mini bottle to smell it on yourself. With enough juice, this is a pretty citrus. I can think of others that capture my fancy more than this little flight. Puns completely intended.

This gentle, fruity scent is lovely, and won't offend anyone at neighbouring work desks. It's very faint, and fades quickly, but has a lovely sweetness that stays close to your skin. My boyfriend loves this on me because I wore it a lot at the beginning of our relationship.

Oh this is so lovely! If only it was stronger! I feel like spraying myself every 5 min to get the opening again, it's so addictive! Love love love! Fruity, slightly sweet, fresh and clean. The musk/white woods make it oh so slightly powdery and edgy.

I could buy this just because of the bottle! This is one of those fruity floral perfumes, which lift my mood up and make me smile. It is so yellow and orange, sunshine in a bottle. The price is reasonable. Beautiful product!

smells a lot like Katy Perry's PURR to me! its a pleasant, sweet smell... which can effectively be purchased for much less as PURR. lemon, amber, and freesia (in that order) are the most stand out scents on my wrist.

Fresh, fruity and floral. A tiny bit of bitterness comes from the citrus notes that prevents it from being too sweet. It smells a tad peppery at the very beginning, then turns into a light citrusy floral.

smells like nice shampoo. You will love this if you want to be subtle about your perfume and tricking others into thinking that the nice scent is from your shampoo.

This one is fresh-fruity fragrance with tropical vibes, nice for a sunny day. I love to use this when I hang out with my friends because it's mood lifting for me.

This smells exactly like So...? Desirable. It's nice but dries down to a hairspray-ish smell on me. Love the top notes, they're intoxicating, but that drydown...

This is a little bit like Secret Wish, but Secret Wish has more tropical fruits and a much better drydown. The drydown on this smells like dryer sheets.

It is not overwhelming,it smells good but a bit to sweet,but not a strong scent either. But nothing that is woth bying.

Smells delicate and like good fruit candy :) It cheers me up a day like this :)

Fresh and fruity fragrance. My another teenager memories.

So true what missk said, it is never overwhelming, even if accidently get too much on you. Such a nice scent, I use it when I need a little bit of "pick me up". It is a sweet scent but not too sweet. The ingredients come together in a perfect harmony.

The bottle is beautiful but the juice is just ok it's not bad but it's nothing special just your basic safe citrus forward scent it's plesent enough

I blind bought thanks to a discount after reading the comments here. I normally like citrus perfumes so I though it's a good idea, but today the perfume came in and it's seriously underwhelming. The smell is quite faint and mostly lemon. The perfume isn't bad but it's kind of boring/plain. I smelled other citrus aromas in 5$ fragrances like Inner Code from Elode, which is actually much better than this one. This perfume has a linear development. It lasts a few hours but has absolutely no sillage and you have to smell it from very close to feel it at all. It's just lemon and a little powdery. I'm not sorry I bought it because it wasn't very expensive but I am sorry it's not as spectacular as I came to expect from reviews. It's fresh, maybe suitable to a young girl or an office with liver sufferers who can't stand most perfumes.

I'm surprized by all the reviews that say this is "light", "fades fast", and is "sweet". On me, it is a powerhouse scent that does not fade or even wash off. And I don't smell anything sweet in it. In fact, I don't smell any of the lovely floral or fruity notes listed. It is fresh, clean, very soapy, and energizing. Not a bad scent at all but not a match for it's whimsical name. Where "Flight of Fancy" is unsurpassed is in it's packaging: a clear bottle filled with iridescent lights, topped by a magnificent peacock. The box is a beauty, too: a golden peacock surrounded by brightly colored flowers, all on a warm yellow background. Wildly imaginative and romantic. Buy one and give it a place of honor on your perfume tray. If nothing else, it will greatly increase the beauty of your collection.

I really didn't enjoy this fragrance because 1) it lasted 15 minutes on my skin, and 2) it smelled like watery grapefruit juice. There was no development of notes whatsoever. The bottle is so fun and cute. It's too bad the juice inside is so bland.

It's a light fruity fragrance, refreshing without being too green or too citrusy. It's nice but that's all. I wouldn't want to buy it.

Flight of Fancy isn't as strong as I thought it would be, and that's a good thing. When I read the notes I was preparing myself for an intense blast of lemon, litchi and yuzu, however when I actually tried this fragrance, the opening was light and sweet, not at all sour or sharp. In fact Flight of Fancy is rather mild. It's peaceful and delicate, a great composition in my opinion. The fruity and floral notes come together nicely. I also detect a subtle hint of musk closer to the drydown which really softens the scent. Flight of Fancy is wonderfully inoffensive. I wish that more people, especially young girls wore this. No matter how much of this you apply, I doubt that it would ever become too overwhelming. This may not be the most unique fragrance you'll ever come across, but it certainly is appealing. It's pretty and feminine and that's all that matters to me. I'll admit that I was shocked to like this seeing that I've disliked most of Anna Sui's other scents.

It was gifted to me many years ago, and I remember how I thought it was the most luxurious bottle I've ever owned. It also came in a gift set with a matching body wash and body lotion. Now scent-wise, it is a fruity floral fragrance. It wakes you up with a strong burst of citrus. I can also smell a tiny bit of sweetness. Very cheerful scents. After around 20 mins, magnolia and freesia start to have their way in. Before it disappeared, a very light amber showed up. The performance could definitely be better. Looking from the bottle, I thought this is going to be bold but turned out it was very light and soft. I have to respray to get to know her. I feel like this is more suitable for younger women, probably in their early 20s due to its cheerfulness, joy, and radiance. Definitely not a mature scent although the amber in the end brings elegance. If you like fresh, fruity, citrusy floral fragrance..you might like this one.

This goes on nose-stingingly sharp, sweet-sour like fruity candy. I actually like the floral scent that remains when the fruit fades, but I have other floral scents that I like much more, and they don't come with a Jolly Rancher punch at the front end. I blind-bought a miniature bottle at Marshalls for $3, and I'm glad I did, because Scentbird kept recommending it to me, and there's no way I'd ever use up 8 ml of this. It sits there still looking pretty on the perfume shelf, but I never reach for it. Incidentally I grabbed a set of 5 Ferragamo Incanto miniatures on the same trip, and found several of them to be very similar to this Anna Sui scent: A combination of tropical fruity candy and soft flowers. I would say Flight of Fancy was a bit more mature, and longer lasting.

The opening of this scent perks me up and it kind of lifts my spirits up. Although there's a lot of people around saying that they have issues with its longjevity, this one lasts for almost half a day on my skin(which is good news) but projection-wise...my friends can't catch the scent when they are sitting close beside me... However, I will say that this is the first gourmad perfume that I find inoffensive. Midnight Fantasy used to be another one but sadly...my preferences/skin chemistry is different now so it is giving me a headache...which is why I switched to this. And I'm not disappointed at all! ╮(╯▽╰)╭
