Fantasy Sheer

Review is for my own reference - Overall it's a nice light perfume good for the office. It smells like less of a teeny-bopper scent than the original, I think the lack of kiwi and more florals help. It is a nice scent, but I do prefer perfumes with a larger sillage. I voted daytime spring/summer, but really this scent could be worn any time of the year. I wasn't sure if I should vote Sheer as smelling like the other Fantasies (original, stage snake skin edition, and the black bottle edition), but the opening smells very similar to the original. My hesitancy comes from the fact that once it dries down it does not smell as much like the original, it is VERY VERY watered down. Also, there is no kiwi note. The name Sheer I good for the scent. The box itself does say 'Sparkling, alluring and softer than Fantasy', so it's not falsely advertised. Although I do wish there was more sparkly/bubbly like a champagne note. I was hoping that the citrus water note would bring something more citrus or bubbly to the scent, but it's not that much of a stand-out perfume. update:I've worn it for a few days now so I feel I can give a better review. I sprayed Sheer on one wrist and the original on the other. They do smell a lot different when directly compared to each other. It smells solar enough to be in the flanker range though! I find it can smell a tiny bit like Intimate and Rainbow Fantasies. I have oily skin so it last a really long time on my skin, until the next day. Although the silage is close to skin. If I spray about 5 sprays on each wrist I can get a good scent, but most perfume only need 1-2 sprays to have a good silage, so the name Sheer is apt. I LOVEEEEEEE this flanker! easily my favorite, maybe even more than the OG. I was wondering why there had been 2-3 perfumes released in 2021 (Fantasy Intense, Sheer, and Electric), but Intense and Sheer smell like the original, so really the only drastically 'new' perfume for 2021 is the Electric Fantasy. To be honest, unless you're a Britney Spears perfume fan I would skip this one, or if you like Fantasy but want something very light. I first saw the ad for this on a Britney fan blog page so I wasn't even sure if it was really a perfume coming out, or if it was just an ad a fan made. I was ecstatic to find out there were more Fantasies being released. I went online right away to buy them both. I have all of Britney's Fantasy perfumes and her other collections. The only perfumes I haven't tried of hers are Believe and Curious Heart. I had a hard time finding the Rainbow, Sheer, and Electric Fantasies in Canada so I bought them from a French website, BSavenue.com. The UK websites I found with stock did not deliver to Canada, which really sucks because they are under $20CAD per bottle in the UK!!! I will add more info later regarding the sillage and longevity.

I just purchased this yesterday at Ross for $19.00 and I was super excited to open it and it's a love at first sight for me! The box is so lovely and the bottle is soooo pretty! The bottle is indeed sheer and light soft pink and honestly speaking I am obsessed with the bottle. I think it can also be called Pink Fantasy, Princess Fantasy, Fairy Fantasy, Pretty Fantasy, Lovely Fantasy, Sweet fantasy. Upon first spray I immediately got the scent of the original fantasy which I love so much and my very first Britney Spears perfume and I was so obsessed with that one back in the day. Some say it's very faint, I agree with them but to me, it is actually very faint upon spraying in the skin but only for awhile...after about like 10 seconds it slowly gets stronger and stronger after a minute, an hour and becomes stronger as time goes by. And based on my experience it lasts a long time. In my skin about 4-6 hours and in my clothes for 12-24 hours and I believe it will only fade ones you wash your clothes. A lot of people say it doesn't last like it's a body spray but to me it lasts and that's what I like about Britney's perfume, they're high quality because they have great longevity and the sillage as well is great! I can smell myself as the day goes by. I definitely smell all the notes especially the lychee and cupcake scent which is soooo lovely and so pretty sweet, soft, girly but feminine. I feel so confident when I am wearing it and definitely gives me that happy feeling and good vibes! I will never get tired of this perfume I love it so much! Eventhough the weather is hot, I think it is still fresh behind that sweetness maybe because of the raspberry and florals which gives the fragrance depth, freshness and beauty. I highly recommend it and I definitely think it's worth it! I also found it in marshalls in their beauty section and it's inside a locked glass drawer and it's also $19.00 for a 100ml. Totally worth it! I will rate this fragrance 10/10. One of the best Britney perfume. I cannot wait to try Blissful Fantasy which I heard it smells like J'adore by Dior and electric fantasy like Donna born in Roma. But I also love to bring back in my collection the Circus Fantasy, Hidden Fantasy, Curious and private show. Please let me know if Blissful Fantasy indeed smells like J'adore and Electric Fantasy is like Donna Born in roma. Thank you!

I have owned Fantasy Sheer, Naked Fantasy and back in the day the original Fantasy formulation (we love her, we adore her, may she rest in peace x) Like many, I spent ages not being bothered about Fantasy after finishing my bottle 10 or so years ago. I even hated it ever since, as someone in school used to overspray it all the time and turned me off it for a DECADE. 10 years this disdain lasted! Then suddenly one day recently, I woke up and was HIT with a craving for that delicious, thick and creamy white chocolate note from days gone by. 'I must have it', I thought. And so Fantasy and I, we reconciled and made peace. ---------- Yes, Fantasy Sheer starts out Kiwi and develops into a delicate cupcake note. But it is all a whisper, it is sheer. In a lovely way. But oh how I wish the cupcake was stronger. It is almost a high quality body spray of Fantasy - the new formulation, *not* the old one. 'Fantasy' really is an apt name for it. At night when I spray this on me, I spray it on my sheets too and suddenly I am a princess fairy in the clouds, surrounded by delicate sparkles in a pink misty haze - exactly how the bottle looks! And it does give a decent scent bubble for a couple of hours. But- There is a definite lychee tartness present in this, Fantasy and Naked Fantasy that hits the back of my nose and it really bothers me in cool weather. Warm weather is fine for some reason, either I crave the freshness or the creaminess develops more to balance it out. No idea, could just be vibes. If you have smelled others in the line that have that lychee-like tartness, didn't like it, and are thinking 'maybe this one is different!' - no, it is not different, it is very much still here and I hear you, I miss the OG Fantasy formulation too. But I mean it. The lychee is STILL here. Seriously. You. do. not. need. another. bottle. of. fantasy. Yes the bottle is pretty. Yes it's on a good deal. Do you have the original? Naked Fantasy? You don't need this one too, choose one. Put the money towards a different perfume.

I still really like the original Fantasy edp now that I'm in my late thirties, but I think that I've quickly become to enjoy this lighter edt edition more; it keeps many of the same fruity & sweet scent notes, but adds a zesty blend of citrus, passion fruit & watery floral notes. I think that this freshly-sweet & lightness twist does give the fragrance a lasting sense of energizing 'glow' and fizziness'. The floral notes are largely different from the ones that are in the original Fantasy - there's a green & 'wet', lightly chilly vibe going on. The florals are pretty mild here, but most of the individual scent notes are still noticeable - particularly the peony & lillies. The white chocolate note is absent from the fragrance, however the cupcake, musk and creamy wood blend are still here for that sweetness of the classic Fantasy stamp, that develops quickly and deepens over a few hours. The slight hint of iris adds a fresh powdered touch, although I must admit that I can't always detect it as the note is so light. Despite going from an edp down to a edt, the sillage and longevity are still impressive - still a last-all-day fragrance, that radiates a foot or so. Much better than most of the Fantasy edt flankers. I do definitely think that Fantasy Sheer has been released at the wrong time of the year, but I still continue to wear it for now as we transition into autumn - I do think that this edition is best suited to spring & summer though. I know that buying the Britney Spears fragrances is ultimately paying into her estate, which is in turn paying her father. However (as some people seem to be forgetting); her estate is also the only way for Britney to obtain the money to pay for her own legal team (no-one else is permitted to help her out with the finances & representation used in court proceedings), so I want to continue to buy from her brand to do my teensy tiny part to support her ongoing legal battle.

I could go into an in-depth review but literally just look at Fantasy for that. Fantasy Sheer is quite literally Fantasy but lighter and more airy.. Less heavy. I actually quite like it. I know some people are on the fence about it, thinking well if I have Fantasy I don't need this one.. I actually like having access to both. Fantasy leans more heavily into that overly sweet gourmand whereas Sheer is exactly as it claims: Sheer lol. If you like the DNA of Fantasy but would prefer a lighter.. Airier citrus version give this a go! I live in a hot climate and this version is far more wearable on a day to day basis than the OG Fantasy which I adore but cannot always wear as sometimes the heat can make it cloying and I do have to be mindful of that. I tie Fantasy and Fantasy Sheer together so naturally this ranks quite high for me. I'd say out of all of the Fantasy flankers, Sheer is the most identical to the OG since it's marketed as a lighter version of it. Idk you really get what it says here lol Solid 10/10 for me. OH SIDE NOTE: It sprays wonderfully onto clothes just like the OG. I tend to spray my clothes with perfumes rather than my skin and especially love to do that with Fantasy as it dries down on clothing to a really comforting, nostalgic smell. This has a similar effect but when worn on skin it also dries down beautifully I love it both ways!! For anyone interested, the dry down on my skin is akin to powdery, musky vanilla and cupcake and those precious florals peek through ever so slightly. I think Iris really helps ground it. The OG fantasy dries down a little bit more sharp on my skin but I adore both and will always love Fantasy!!!
