Festive Fantasy

Wow. I saw the fragrance notes and immediately knew it would smell like Midnight Fantasy, but I didn’t realize how similar they truly are. In my opinion, they basically have the same kind of relationship as Fantasy and Fantasy Sheer. They smell very similar but Sheer is just not as powerful and some of the notes are different (like the lemon water). In this case, Festive is Sheer. It’s definitely not as long lasting as Midnight and the scent just isn’t as strong. Also, the notes are clearly different. Midnight mainly has a very strong fruit smell and it is somewhat overpowering. However, for Festive, it’s actually pretty balanced and has a sweet candy smell that I don’t smell in Midnight. It’s the right amount of sweet that combines with the other notes so nicely and it’s delicious! I’m not hating on Midnight AT ALL, but it is really fruity and I honestly get sick of it sometimes. Festive is just the right amount of fruitiness and sweet that I love. BUT, despite the smell being great, the lasting power is not. It just doesn’t last, which is what I expected as it is a toilette, but still. I asked someone if they can smell it and they said no, and I had just sprayed it not even 20 minutes before. But hey, the bottle is beautiful, the scent is beautiful, and it was only $20. And besides, this is based off of one person so maybe it’s not all that bad, we’ll see. Overall, this scent is extremely similar to Midnight Fantasy. If you don’t think so, idk what to tell you. Like I said, the only difference between two is like a few notes and the lasting power. If you don’t like Midnight Fantasy, I would not recommend this at all. If you love it, I sorta recommend. IMO you don’t need both. If I had to pick one of them, it’s gonna be this one. It’s almost a perfection for me and it’s a great twist on Midnight Fantasy. Glad there is a surplus of this fragrance now. I remember when it was more rare and it cost over $60 in most cases. So go buy it while it’s cheap, and remember how similar it is to midnight!

I'm so glad I got this one. I love it! This is such a lovely fruit perfume. I definitely get the cherry note and a bit of sugared vanilla. Fragrantica lists the notes as vanilla and sugar in the base, but I'm pretty sure when this came out the actual note was Vanilla Beignet. Which does give it a bit of a vanilla sugary vibe. This one isn't creamy like some of her others, it's not a vanilla cupcake, more like a sugared vanilla, so I guess that's why they used those notes if they didn't have Vanilla Beignet as an option to list. I tend to love Cherry scents, especially Cherry Vanilla or Cherries & Cream or Cherry Almond scents. This isn't pure Cherry and Vanilla even though those notes are very present. You definitely have some other notes going on that add to the blend even if you can't pick them out one by one. I always say Britney's perfumes are so well blended and this is another fine example. (Although in the future if she wanted to do a pure Cherry Vanilla w/ notes of cherries, vanilla, cream, almond, tonka, I would be very into that as well!) A lot of people have said this smells like Midnight Fantasy and I do agree. The notes are similar and they do smell similar. People have said Festive is the EDT version of Midnight, and that's somewhat true but they aren't exactly the same though which I'm really happy about. Festive is lighter for sure, but it's also brighter and sweeter. Midnight is a bit more sour and less sweet and sugary. If you're a big fan of the Fantasy line and collect the flankers, I recommend having both in your collection. I always liked Midnight but not as much as other people do. Festive is the sweeter version that I enjoy more, so adding it to my collection was the right choice.

I blind bought her. I've never tried a fantasy flanker before, so I don't know how it compares. At first I didn't love this but it has grown on me and is now one of my favorite, signature scents. Super sugary and vanilla. At first it seemed really coconut to me, but as I am more able to recognize that's actually vanilla/gourmands smell. The top notes don't last very long, but that's okay. At first it's a little shampooy, but honestly it's okay for me, it smells clean. I love how much vanilla is in this though, it really sticks around and loves my body chemistry. I think with the sandalwood this becomes a mature, deeper fragrance. The base notes last all day and I don't get nose blind to it. It definitely sticks to clothes for a long time. I wore this like every day at the end of last summer, so definitely a summer scent. It has gotten me a compliment or 2, not too many though unfortunately with this. Vanilla isn't for everyone I guess. It's been maybe 6 months since I got it, I didn't wear it much in the winter at all it just wasn't quite right. Wearing it today I remember how much I love it! But already half the bottle is gone and as spring comes around it'll probably be gone by the end of this summer. As for the bottle. BEAUTIFUL. Really a huge plus and serves as great decoration in my collection, and will definitely keep forever. Buying this made me get midnight fantasy and both are pretty similar, midnight is just a lot more plummy! Overall probably 8/10 for me. I just wish it was a little fruitier. I love layering it with more fruity scents, as its a good perfume for layering.

I love this perfume so much, I bought it from BSAvenue in France, because I live in the USA, and haven't been able to find her fragrances in the USA, since 2018's Prerogative, I paid around $82 for this, and I would say I would pay $60 for a 100ml of this, if it was sold here in the USA. I remember when Rocker Femme Fantasy came out, and I bought a 100ml when it first released for over $40, so it depends on how big of a fan you really are. I grew up with Britney, Baby One More Time was one of the first albums I bought, I was 8 when it came out. I believe the reason we don't get Britney perfumes in the USA for over 2 years now is because Revlon bought out Elizabeth Arden. I just hope Britney gets control of her life again, and the conservatorship ends in 2021. I want Britney to be Free. Onto Festive Fantasy, I personally think this is the daytime version of Midnight Fantasy, I really like this perfume, I get sugar the most, vanilla, then cherry, and plum, as well as light florals in the background. I really love this perfume, and I wish it was an EDP, instead of EDT. This is my favorite perfume since Fantasy in Bloom was released in early 2017.

Ok so this is a beautiful fruity, hairspray kind of scent. To my nose it doesn’t smell like midnight fantasy at all. This is a lot lighter, fruitier, more airy juicy, a little citrusy and sour scent. Midnight is a lot darker, creamier and the berries are much more prominent. Berries is all I smell in Midnight Fantasy. I wouldn’t say that this is a total berry scent as it more citrusy and complex. A little vanilla comes in the drydown as well . When it dries down completely it reminds of “Riri” by Rihanna. It is a beautiful, shampooy scent but it doesn’t project and last at all unfortunately on my skin. You have to reapply one hour later. I like it but Midnight Fantasy is the ultimate berry scent and one of my faves. . A beautiful fun scent overall. I like it 🤍. Wish it projected and lasted more.... Edit: It’s been a couple of days and now the berries are coming through and it smells absolutely Divine!! Omg!! It has transformed to an incredible berry scent!! I LOVE it!! 😍❤️
