Britney Spears Hidden Fantasy Eau de Parfum - 100 ml

Product Information

It’s very unique to me, definitely not a generic scent, and yet still inoffensive and easily likeable by the masses. It is much lighter than its Fantasy sisters and is suitable for days where you want a light, airy scent that isn't overpowering. This dries down in to a muskiness, a certain warmth, something like cloves and pepper, whilst retaining that very strong orange top note. I can't say why I love it so much, maybe it's the citrus notes that manage to cut through the sweetness. But once this new version gets to the heart notes it really becomes a very masculine sour smell which I can't tolerate.

There is a sour citrus and unidentifiable floral undertone, which when mixed with the musk turns my stomach. I may be in the minority here but I can detect the delicious cupcake note from the OG Fantasy in the background here .It really does smell like those blue raspberry slushees you get that turns your tongue, teeth, and lips blue. But I am pleasantly surprised by this Circus fantasy, compared to most of her other perfumes in her Fantasy series, this particular one is less sweet and more fruiter and floral and lighter. I guess it's just so far off base from Fantasies previous productions, something different perhaps that would suit younger girls, or women who weren't fond of Britney's super sweet offerings. I gave it to my daughter and she complains that the performance (lasting) is not good for her skin either. The scent opens with top notes of grapefruit blossom, orange, tangerine and lemon verbena, middle notes are clove, jasmine sambac and stargazer lily.

But from that point on, Amor Amor develops into creamier, smoother musky fruity floral notes whereas Circus Fantasy retains a powdery tang right into the 3 hour mark. What I had remembered as a sweet gourmand surprised me by being more floral and more like a sweet peony scent. I made the rookie mistake of forming my opinions when the bottle had just been delivered, so at first I was disappointed in the lack of depth and longevity, but as I have let it settle on my shelf, both of those have improved.There is nothing super unique or deep about it but it’s a really good time and I think most people would find it very pleasant! At first I didn't think it was anything special, but I have a pretty large fragrance collection and nothing else I have smells like this. Hidden Fantasy is a little, tiny bit more fruity but not a bright citrus as the accords above elude to since the citrus smell is from a syrupy orange / tangerine.
