Maui Fantasy

I've been waiting since fall to buy the spring/summer Fantasy's. In the last week I got this, In Bloom, Intimate, Sunset & Island (and Radiance) and just about finished my Britney collection. Maui is bright & tropical. I get mostly passion fruit and the tropical flowers. I don't sense much coconut but I can tell it's in there... it is more of a subtle creamy sweetness. Coconut is one of my go-to notes for summer so hopefully if I use a coconut body lotion it'll bring that note out more. I do get the dryer sheets comparison and I can't remember exactly what Miami Glow smells like so I can't compare atm (I actually just ordered a bottle today so I'll have to smell them side by side & see if they really are that similar) It does kinda remind me of Miami Glow, but I haven't worn that in ages so I'm going by memory. I used to live in Florida and these kinds of scents bring back memories of my years down there <3 Overall this is a really pretty tropical fragrance that probably blooms beautifully in the summer heat. It's only in the 40's here in NE Ohio but smelling this REALLY has me longing for summer!! Britney's bottles are probably my favorite perfume bottles ever. I love the globes with the crystals but the frosted ones are just as pretty. They all look so pretty grouped together by color on their very own shelf.

Yet another gorgeous scent by Britney Spears! I feel like this particular Fantasy is one of her most natural scents, like Curious and believe. It has a very fruity smell along with a tiny bit of florals. Very tropical, recommended for the summer or any warmer days during the year. Definitely another departure from Britney's typical Fantasy flankers, doesn't have that extreme vanilla musky smell that most of the Fantasies do, which also leads to the lasting power. I sprayed the tester on my hand and it unfortunately only lasted an hour or so. I am still going to pick up a bottle because its just too gorgeous, and that being a limited edition perfume I ain't missing this perfect opportunity to by myself one with summer just around the corner! I rate this perfume a 7/10. I am still yet to trial this perfume out a little more, so I will possibly make a second impression of this in the coming months. I will admit, not a huge fan of the packaging, its vibrant which is what I love however I wish she had maybe put in some white gems around the bottle like she does with her traditional Fantasy perfumes. The scent is definitely an easy wear as well as an easy buy. Recommend this to anyone who loves summer vibes, fruity scents and tropical vibes.

I'm SO happy I decided to give this a try and (blind) buy it! It's a divine combination of passion fruit, tiare and coconut with great lasting power. I will agree with a lot of reviewers who said that it reminds them of "Miami Glow", it definitely does, I would say it's almost a dupe. I bought a 30 ml "Miami Glow" years ago and it smelled exactly like this one. Sadly it has since been discontinued, but "Maui Fantasy" is an amazing replacement for the "Miami Glow" fans and an overall amazing fragrance itself. It smells nothing like the original Fantasy, which is great for me, since I never liked the overly sweet Fantasy and never understood the hype about it. I would say that "Maui Fantasy" is definitely daytime fragrance but when it comes to seasons, I honestly think it can be worn throughout the year. Maybe it will be even more pleasant as a fragrance during winter, as it will give these nostalgic laid-back, summer vibes. Yay to Brit Brit and her team for yet another great creation!

Looking back on my previous review, I believe that I have more to say. First of all, the silage isn’t great, but the lasting power is amazing. Haven’t exactly counted the hours, but it lasts me all day (I spray twice on the wrists, once on each side of the neck and four-ish times on the body). The scent itself is mainly passion fruit with a coconut note. Smells just like a tropical fruit juice drink. I layer it with some Body Shop coconut body butter to bring out that note, which takes it to a whole ‘nother level for me. It smells quite similar to Nicki’s Pinkprint, but less soapy and with less coconut. I would also say that JLo’s Miami Glow is a fair comparison, though MG is more aggressive and sharp. The bottle looks like something but Hannah Montana, kind of early 2000s tacky, which I think suits Britney’s brand, so, overall, no complaints.

This perfume smelled nothing like I expected but I still love it especially for the warm, sticky summer months. I expected it to be a fruit smoothie cocktail much like Island Fantasy due to the fruit notes but the only fruit I pick up is an initial burst of citrus that fades quickly. This is a clean, breezy creamy floral on me with very sweet flowers. Every time I wear this my wife comments I smell like fabric softener but fresher. I found it to be a great scent to wear around people who dislike perfume or in the very hot months of summer. It lingers for hours, especially on clothing. This is Britney Spears' least gourmond scent in my opinion. I think it would be a great flanker for Curious.
