Hanae Mori N07

I have nothing against Fantasy, I owned a 30 ml bottle and finished it. I liked Fantasy, but then I smelled HM No 7 and... love, love, love! But $90?(unfortunately it only came in a 100 ml bottle) I left Macy's with my nose to my wrist for the rest of the day, knowing I would have to return. Two weeks later I did, and bought the last bottle they had. That was about 9 months ago and I still love No 7 and wear it all the time. I don't think I could go back to Fantasy now, it smells very synthetic compared to this. The notes may be similar, but No 7 is such an elegant and gentle scent, two adjectives I would never use to describe Fantasy. There's no suffocating quality here, this is a light and fresh gourmand. It's angelfood cake with fresh raspberries and a small scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on the side... heavenly. I can wear No 7 year round, whereas Fantasy was cold weather only for me. I find this fragrance has moderate lasting power and silage, so it's appropriate for work as well. I'm so glad I purchased No 7 and was definately worth the $$. All the issues I had with Fantasy are worked out here, and I'll be sad when I finish my bottle.

I love this perfume! We just got the tester at the store that I work at. I have sprayed it several times and I still love it. The only thing is that it reminds me of something else that I already own. Not sure if I will fork over the $95 for it, though.

I love this scent! Very sweet & fruity. I hear it's going away soon since it's a limited edition, which is sad! Also very pricey... To me Britney Spears Fantasy smells similar to this, just a little fruitier.

If you aren't keen on the $95 pricetag and the short lasting time, then look no further than Britney Spears' Fantasy! HM No 7 is kind of a rip off of Britney Spears Fantasy. Oh, my beloved Fantasy. I would recognize you ANYWHERE! So when I doused myself in Hanae Mori No 7, of course I was surprised to get that familiar feeling. It was Britney Spears Fantasy alright. Not 100%, but maybe 95%. I'm telling you, if you smelled it blind, you would guess Fantasy. I'm sure side by side you can obviously find some subtle differences, but apart, they are almost the exact same. This perfume has light sillage and lasts maybe 3 hours, tops. Bottom line, yes the bottle is adorable, but save yourself like $75 and just go buy Fantasy instead. It will last longer anyways!

I bought this from someone online blind because I love HM Butterfly, and the reviews on here mention Fantasy a lot which I wore in high school. It's pleasant, but still not worth the $50 I paid for it. At first spray it's very fruity. The raspberry note stands out the most. It's very sweet, so it's probably not for anyone who gets headaches from perfumes easily. However, it mellows down quickly and turns into a soft vanilla/jasmine by about 2 hours. This part was my favorite, it's a skin-only scent at this point, but it's gentle and cozy, nice for a lazy day at home. Generally, I like something that lasts a bit longer and probably won't reach for this on days where I'm going out, but as far as blind buys go, I could have done a lot worse.
