Fancy

Beware!!!! Highly addictive gorgeous poison. it makes MEN go CRAZY over you! it makes them want to sniff you and not let go. At the begining when i bought a bottle of it about 3 years ago.... I HATED IT! i have no idea why but i think i was expecting something else maybe? it felt "too rich" and old for me :- i was expecting something fun and "fantasy" like and instead i gotten a rich deep scent and i think my brain automatically rejected this simply because it failed my expectations. then years later i cleaned my huge perfume huge and decided to get rid of fragrances i dont wear....and this one went in the garbage. just when i was about to throw it away, i decided to take it out and give it one last try since i remembered all the positive reviews it had. THANK GOD I DID!!!! if i would have thrown it out.... i would loose my no.1 fragarance of ALL TIME. i would not have fell in love for ever and ever with this one. this fragrance is like crack, it is a drug and it will turn you into an addict... i have a BIG collection of perfumes and some are so high end that one of them is priced at 700$ for 1 ounce! trust me and belive me when i say this.... FANCY BY JESSICA SIMPSON IS **MY ALL TIME FAVORITE** FRAGRANCE. this flacon is enchanting, it is magical, it will put a spell on you and you will become addicted to it. this fragrance might only be 25$ for 3.4 oz but the smell of it is too good to be true. it has such an elegant fine scent that might make people believe it costs in the hundreds. and to top it all, it lasts and lasts and lasts. when you tell people its a 25 dollar jessica simpson fragrance they will not believe you. no other fragrance i have tried in my life smells this good! and its price is just laughable. it smells so good and complex and elegant that i would GLADLY pay 5-10 times its real retail price. this perfume is worth 250$ not 25$. it starts with a fresh watery fruity-floral sweet gourmand with its pear,caramel,apricot,gardenia,and red berries (i dont smell the jasmin though), and then slowly it evolves to become a warm vanilla musk coffie cream scent. gosh i love this forever and ever. this is what heaven smells like. i love this fragrance becuse it can suit a trashy bomb shell, a sweetheart southern bell,and a high fashion chic rich lady. its that versatile and that good. thank you jessica for bringing this to the world you devine lady. and thank you Alexis Dadier for creating this piece of magic.

Sweet, warm, fruity, caramel, vanilla, powdery, nutty, floral, fresh, feminine, sensual, seductive, flirty, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, alluring, tempting, inviting, cozy, comforting On me this opens sweet, bright, and fruity with sweet syrupy pear, jammy apricot, tart red berries, rich and creamy caramel, powdery almond, and a touch of lush jasmine and gardenia. Once it dries down the fruity and floral notes fade some and intertwine with the rich caramel, powdery vanilla, warm amber, and creamy sandalwood, which take center stage. It’s warm, rich, and even comes off almost boozy, especially in the dry down. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the pear, red berries, caramel, vanilla, amber, and sandalwood I’m not usually very into celebrity fragrances (I do love Eilish and Sweet Like Candy), but this is one of my exceptions. It’s really well done, balanced and blended beautifully. It’s just so very pretty, and a really easy reach. I first fell in love with this back in my early 20s when it first launched. Looking back I can see how this helped with the start of the gourmand leaning trend, as well as my own love for gourmands. This does remind me of Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Gold Couture, which happens to be another love for me, especially around that time. This feels quite feminine, and like it will suit women of all ages. It doesn’t come off as juvenile like a lot of celebrity fragrances tend to. It’s perfect for the colder weather of fall and winter because it’s so sweet, warm, and cozy. This is suitable for most occasions from casual, to work and/or school, to date nights, ect. I get great performance with Fancy. The longevity is really good, it lasts 10+ hours on my skin. The projection is nice, it radiates out at least a few feet from me. For reference, some of my favorite vanillas and gourmands include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, The Wedding Silk Santal, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Yum Pistachio Gelato, PdM Oriana, Kilian LDBS, Princess, Bianco Latte, Celeste, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Black Opium Glitter, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, SDJ 39, SDJ 62, VS Vanilla Lace, B&BW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Fireside Flurries, Whipped Honey & Vanilla

Sweet, fruity, warm, creamy, powdery, nutty, floral, woody, feminine, sensual, seductive, flirty, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, inviting, cozy, comforting On me this opens sweet, fruity, and floral with jammy apricot, syrupy pear, sweet red berries, sweet and rich caramel, delicate almond, and some lush gardenia and jasmine on a bed of sensual vanilla, warm amber, and smooth sandalwood. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the pear, apricot, berries, caramel, vanilla, amber, and sandalwood I’ve had this perfume forever, like from around the time it launched in 2008, and I still think it’s really beautiful! It does carry a somewhat nostalgic vibe for me now just because I’ve worn in over so many years. This is definitely one I plan to keep in my collection for another 15-20 years! It’s funny because I not usually into celebrity fragrances, but this one is just so good! Honestly, I think it’s actually pretty underrated, and not talked about, or recommended enough! It even fits in really well with today’s popular gourmands, despite having come out over 15 years ago! I get great performance with Fancy. The longevity is very good, it lasts 7+ hours on my skin. The projection is nice, it radiates out about 2-3 feet from me. For reference, some of my other favorite sweet/gourmand fragrances include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Kayali The Wedding Silk Santal, Kayali Vanilla 28, Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato, PDM Oriana, Kilian LDBS, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, Valentino DBIR Pink, JPG Classique Pin Up, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, SDJ Summer é Amor, SDJ 39, SDJ 62, VS Vanilla Lace, BBW Beach Nights, BBW Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds *As a side note, this does remind me of Viva La Juicy Gold Couture, which I also own and love!

To all members using 'yuck' and other related words to describe this fragrance: Did you actually look at notes description and olfactive group type before your tried it and wrote comments that put me off from having dinner tonight? I didn't think so :-) I consider it rather obvious that a fragrance with majority of edible notes, including typical sweet gourmand notes would actually smell...hmmm...gourmand? I am not sure what some of you expected... Did you expect it to smell chypre or aldehydic? No! Probably becuase the fragrance was supposed to suit minority of us with a sweet tooth :-) Since I am not an aldehyde fan (to say the least), I stay clear from such olfactive group as I suspect any closer relationship with such fragrances would become a disaster of biblical proportions. I don't like the group and stay away from such fragrances. Simple as that :-) ----------------------------------------------------- To all of you Folks who, on the other hand, have as sweet tooth as me: This is a winner - let's give thanks to the manufacturer for making the atomizer so difficult to tamper with, as otherwise I would have drunk the whole 100ml in one go and begged for more. Fancy is absolutely tasty; I cannot imagine a better proportioned caramel, vanilla, berries and pear combo than this. Only Delicious Cotton Candy can be more gourmand than this :-) Fancy has also outstanding silage and lasting power, it is still very much detetctable after 6 hours and can be easily recognized within a 2-3 feet radius :-) The only downside is that I cannot imagine wearing it in hot summer days. On winter frosty mornings, however, it will take you to an enchanted place where your great grandma winks at you while taking the most delicious caramel cakes topped with almond flakes and berries from the oven...

I am not really into sweet fragrances. I like a lot of them but rarely use them. However, "Fancy" is an exception. I loved it for several reasons. Firstly, I do not find it juvenile. It is a mature and elegant gourmand fragrance which is a plus in my book. Secondly, It is strong yet toned down. No sharp notes, nothing synthetic about it. While the caramel note is the highlight of the fragrance, it is not sticky or toothachingly sweet. More of a salted caramel with some vanilla. The fresh, ripe apricot and pear are more prominent than the red berries that take longer to notice. The almond and floral accords are the most distant. They provide the freshness this fragrance needs and prevent it from causing headaches. Additionally, " Fancy" performs like a high-end fragrance. You do not need to concern yourself with carrying this chunky bottle in your bag. It projects for 6 hours with ease. I even get whiffs of it 8 hours later. The scent lasts an entire day on my hair and clothes. When I take a shower in the morning, I can still tell I was wearing this the previous day. While it is a little pricier compared to other celebrity perfumes, the amount you get is massive and the overall quality is unprecedented. The votes above are pretty accurate. Last but not least, the package is very easy on the eye. Jessica and perfumers did a fabulous job. They nailed it in every single aspect. Creating an affordable fragrance that is sweet enough, smells expensive and has considerable longevity is not an easy feat. I consider this a safe blind-buy and great potential gift for both teenagers and grown women alike.
