Fantasy Naked

I was curious (no pun intended) about Naked Fantasy for a few months. I finally saw it in a local drugstore today and decided to buy it. I'm so glad I did! It's beautiful. You're in an imaginary cottagecore-esque bakery and bar mashup, where people are drinking applejack and cider. In the ovens, there are peach cobbler pies ready to be taken out soon. And at a far table, a vanilla candle is burning, but it is not overwhelmingly sweet. The opening is very boozy - the applejack note really comes through. There's also a blast of fruity notes at the beginning, like slightly fermented peaches/apricots. The slight fermented quality is not bad at all, it's just because the fruit notes mix with the applejack alcohol note and create an interesting mix. The opening dies down quite quickly and is replaced by the heart of the perfume, which is more floral (not overwhelming so), mixed with the fruity notes from the beginning (but with a lot less of that alcohol note from the beginning). It also starts to smell sweeter. After the heart notes begin to fade, the base/dry down comes out and it is so beautiful and comforting to me. The sweet vanilla cupcake note comes out, but it's not overly sweet - it smells more like the cake part of the cupcake without as much of the frosting. There's also a very powdery quality to the dry down, which I personally love. It reminds me heavily of a mildly sweet-scented makeup powder. I have a loose setting powder in my makeup collection that has a subtle vanilla-y scent to it, and the base of this perfume definitely reminds me of it. All the while, the faint peachy vibe is still present. Musk is listed as a base note, but I don't get very much of it if at all. This perfume isn't very strong, but to be honest, I wouldn't want it to be much more potent than it is. I don't want every single perfume I own to be super intense. Sometimes, a more toned-down scent is just what I need. This is such a delightful, calm, and cozy fragrance.

A lovely scent - delicate and very feminine - sweet but not sickly as there is a definite fresh (almost guava-like) note? I can imagine wearing this to class or on a casual date as it's very pretty without being distracting. I am honestly a fan of this perfume but was slightly disappointed for two reasons - if these do not apply to you I would absolutely recommend this beautiful perfume. 1. I already own fantasy intimate - the reviewers claiming that they are very different are greatly exaggerating the effect - sure there are some slight differences on initial spray and dry-down, but I can confidently say that any regular individual (not someone with a trained nose) who you come across day-to-day will absolutely not be able to tell the difference between these perfumes. They are extremely similar. 2. The longevity is not as good as fantasy intimate - to be honest, this is the only distinct difference between the perfumes: fantasy intimate lasts almost all day on me, while fantasy naked lasts maybe two hours? To test this, I sprayed each on a separate wrist and smelled both throughout the day. Unfortunately, naked performed muchhhh worse than intimate. This being said, I will not be selling naked - even if it performs worse than intimate I will keep both as the scent is still quite nice and for the price, I really do not mind reapplying throughout the day. I do not plan on repurchasing, however. Summary: If you have intimate, it might not be worth buying naked, but the scent is still lovely, if the weak longevity does not bother you.

Naked Fantasy is THE Fantasy flanker Britney fragrance lovers should covet and seek out. Oliver Gillotan understood the assignment and brought his celebrity fragrance A game when he created this. When I purchase a Britney perfume I'm looking for girly, hyper-femme, cupcakes, fruit, and sugar. This achieves all those ideas and easily surpasses the original Fantasy by the substitution of soft peach and apricot notes for sharper kiwi. This is one of my top two Fantasy flankers. Naked Fantasy stands out as the most true to the idea of a fruity vanilla cupcake perfume but it has grown up with Britney's fans. The peach/apricot/osmanthus combo gives me sweet warm fuzzies. This site shows Applejack as a note. I can imagine that or apple cider. Another site lists Aperol Spritz which is one of my favorite cocktails. Aperol is a sweet, herbal, slightly bitter, citrus taste. If it is here as a note it is subtle enough not to project any bitter qualities on skin. There is nothing jarringly chemical, woody, or weird in this. It has an intimate sillage, but I wear perfume for me, not for others. From an artistic standpoint, the bottle is the most sophisticated of all the Spears line. It is a toned-down frosted fleshy apricot color glass with clear silvery diamonte decorations. I can't help myself from purchasing extra bottles of Naked Fantasy to stash away so I can spray with abandon even after this disappears from stores.

I'm liking this one but it's a hard one to review I think because it's not what I expected. I was expecting either a peach cupcake or a fruity Fall scent (because of the applejack). Instead this is very similar to Intimate Fantasy (a scent that I love, I just didn't realize this was going to be similar). While the two scents are similar, they are not exactly the same. Upon first smelling you might think they're exact, but they're not. I currently have Naked on one wrist and Intimate on the other. Upon first spray the Intimate seems sharper, probably because you get a bit of the lemon in Intimate when you first spray it. Let them both dry down a bit, and the differences will show more as well. Naked has more fruit to it. It's not a super fruity scent, but the sweet fruit notes blend with the soft notes. It's a bit fruity, a bit powdery. The Intimate dries to to a different kind of sweet (possibly because of the brown sugar note), and also powdery. Is it worth having both? If you're a collector I would say definitely yes. If you're not a collector you might want to choose which one you prefer since they're both similar. Or other options: a small bottle of each or you could do a big bottle of one and a small of the other. I'm a collector of the Britney line so I'm happy to have both, and I definitely will be using both.

I love Britney and the Fantasy line, but unfortunately I'm allergic to most of her perfumes, with some being worse than others. However, this is the first and only Fantasy release that I have not had some kind of sweat and/or runny-eye allergic reaction to, and in fact it has not given me any allergy issues at all. As for the bottle, it's of course quite similar to the rest of the Fantasy line, but with a classy frosted transparent golden-peach color that helps to set it apart. A similar frosted finish was used on the Maui and In Bloom bottles. Naked Fantasy smells quite similar to Intimate Fantasy (which is one of the ones I had the fewest issues with), with a somewhat different dry-down. I think it's much closer to Intimate than the original Fantasy or Sheer, as some of the reviews have said. It lacks the tartness and the zing of those two and smells much more powdery. It also lacks some of the "soapiness" of Intimate Fantasy, coming across a bit warmer. That being said, it does have a quite weak silage and just an average lasting time at best. Perhaps the "Naked" in the title signifies a more simplistic formula rather than a sensual scent. Though it's staying power leaves something to be desired, I'll keep wearing this because it's the only one I really can!
