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!! 😍❤️

This is such a beautiful fragrance. I own three Britney perfumes (Fantasy, Midnight Fantasy and Intimate Fantasy) but this takes the cake. This is her most gourmand scent, it’s sugary and addictive without being nauseating. It’s really a dream for lovers of all things vanilla. It doesn’t smell cheap or immature, it’s alluring and the opening notes of cherry, plum and dewberry really add a more refined flavour to the fragrance. This may become my favourite perfume of all time, i’m truly in love and i’m unsure how I haven’t come across it sooner. I sprayed it on me at 11am, it’s now 6pm and I still smell it around me. Great longevity and silage, i’ve 0 complaints about this perfume.

This is a perfume that really lives up to its name! Festive indeed! You get in such a very good mood when you wear this. To me, the smell is like a bowl of freshly picked tart, juicy dewberries with vanilla sugar and granulated sugar on top. Or as a delicious frozen cheesecake with dewberry filling, sugar crystals berryculisse on the side and tiny juicy yellow Mirabelle-plums on top! It’s sooo goood! I don’t smell any flowers in this, so for me it’s a true gourmand! And no...... I don’t find ANY similaritys between this and Midnight F.... I cant stand Midnight F but I LOVE, love, love Festive Fantasy! Festive fantasy and Rainbow fantasy are my two favourite fantasy-flankers!

A very successful flanker, truly evoking a festive atmosphere. It opens with delicious, juicy, and sweet berries, soon giving way to dessert-like cookie notes characteristic of Fantasy. The overall composition is joyful, pleasant, and well-constructed. These are really good perfumes, though—like with others from the Fantasy line—I recommend letting them macerate for a while. Then, on fabric, it stays for a long time, although with intimate projection. The bottle, on the other hand, is a truly sensory experience; it’s beautiful and wonderfully uplifting. Festive Fantasy is one of my favorite flankers from the line.

If you love Vanilla perfumes, you're going to LOVE Festive Fantasy. This is DEFINITELY a Midnight Fantasy flanker. HOWEVER, Festive Fantasy has A LOT more vanilla and has more berry notes than it does plum notes whereas with Midnight Fantasy is the other way around, it has more plum notes than it does berry notes. In my opinion, Festive Fantasy is WAYY better than Midnight Fantasy. The amount is vanilla tho does bring the scent to more of a unisex scent..Definitely a Winter scent. Can't see this working in warmer climates.

It's absolutely beautiful! The bottle I have sprays the base notes. If there is dewberry and sour cherry in this, they only shine for a few seconds before going straight to the base. This is the only bottle in my collection that does this. I don't get the middle notes either. That said, this is heavenly. I get sugar and vanilla the most. The bottle is the most beautiful of all my perfumes. This is worth every penny and I even bought 3 more bottles to gift them to my sisters. I highly recommend this. 10 out of 10. ❤️💚💙💛

Nice bottle. Cute! First spray I get alcohol smell, but it will fade away about 30 seconds. That's ok. After that the cherry smell emerged and the smell becomes balance. Soft smell n good for daytime. I considered this as one of the best cherry fragrance. Usually, I don't like cherry smell because it always smell synthetic. I think this fragrance is better than midnight fantasy. I am not into midnight fantasy because it smells too young n sugary sweet. This one is more balance and matured. Love it!

This sweetness remind me so much Midnight Fantasy... but she have her own enchant! At first spray I can smell the original Midnight Fantasy (but a little bit lighter), due to the plum and sour cherry. Then it changes and become more sweet, appears the dewberry, sugar and vanilla. Soooo sweet! This fragrance remind me some dessert, sugar is very prominent in my skin. I think Festive Fantasy is a lighter and sweeter version of Midnight Fantasy. And of course, younger! The bottle is so nice too.

I have convinced myself this is a 65% dupe to The Body Shop Dewberry but maybe my memory is failing me. It's been a long time since I have had Dewberry and I had been looking for a dupe for it. Bought this one someone's suggestion online and am in love! Staying power is not there as others have said but for the price and the beautiful bottle and the nostalgia, 10/10 for me. I started pairing this with Botanicae Meraki so that I'm a swirling Figgy Dewberry in the summer.

Yum! This flanker is just the perfect fruity adolescent scent I love throwing on when I want to feel girly & deadly sweet. For me Midnight Fantasy wears much differently due to the Plum, Iris and Amber. (none of these are in Festive). Festive's combination of sweet cherry, freesia, lily and sandalwood is a delicious delight! I got this for less than $20 for a large bottle and the bottle is the coolest rainbow colored pretty glass. One of my newest frivolous favs!

Normally I give a somewhat in depth breakdown of fragrances. But this is basically an Eau De Toilette version of Midnight Fantasy. I wish I understood what "festive" has anything to do with this fragrance. (Hidden fantasy is more "holiday" imo) The bottle is actually pretty in person. I don't mind this fragrance but of course it doesn't last very long because it's an EDT. Silage: Light-Medium Longevity: 3-4 Hours

💲About $17 for 3.3oz at Ross 👃 This has suddenly become one of my favorites. The scent is pulpy, sweet, & creamy. I had to cheat and sneak a peek at the notes to try and isolate them in my mind. After purposely searching for the cherry note, I can identify it to be a ripe fleshy dark cherry, not the tart kind. The scent has lasted well all day without reapplying mostly fading into a raspberry whipped cream.

La salida le siento un chocolate que desaparece en 5 segundos. Si tiene mucho parecido a Midnight Fantasy pero menos cargado de ciruela. El secado me recuerda a shampoo o lasca para el cabello igual que el lollipop de Mariah Carey pero más intenso. Ya despues se siente solo una nota de anis. En ropa dura hasta 3 días en la piel 5 horas y volver a aplicar. Los fantasy siempre 🫶🏽

I’m not usually a huge fan of cherry scents, but this is nice! I’m getting a scoop of cherry ice cream in a fresh waffle cone. I love this! I avoided this one for so long due to the reviews of it being similar to Midnight Fantasy. Midnight Fantasy doesn’t mix well with my chemistry, but this is a lot creamier and more wearable. I’m beyond happy I picked this one up!

I got a 1oz from Mercari and needed a full size, and luckily they had the big bottles on fragnet! A very sweet and juicy tart cherry with coarse sugar crystals. That’s the best way to describe this. It’s like taking a sour cherry syrup and mixing it sugar or maybe cherry flavored lip scrubs. This is GORGEOUS. A must have if you love cherry or sour fruits!

I really love this scent. It's not really "sophisticated" but it's fun. It's sweet and fruity in a light and refreshing way. There's something almost aquatic about it IMO, like some kind of vanilla cherry/berry drink. It's really nostalgic, though I'm not entirely sure why. Unfortunately, I get absolutely ZERO projection or longevity.
