Britney Spears Hidden Fantasy Eau de Parfum - 100 ml

Product Information

I really like the deep red colour of the bottle. The bottle feels cheap and not great quality, but it's kinda cute and is recognizable as a Britney Spears Fantasy flanker. The atomizer is not great. It spurts more than it sprays and has a very short burst. I have noticed the same with another Fantasy flanker so it seems it more a design issue than mine being faulty. I am excited to wear Hidden Fantasy in the Fall and Winter! Britney Spears fragrances are new to me and I am looking forward to trying more in her Fantasy line. I know, I know, Im late to the game with this one! Edit: a reviewer mentioned D&G The One, I can see why: the mandarin orange, lily note and amber of The One give the same type of sweetness, but to me The One is too serious, sometimes it even reminds me of the incense of lily&honey. Not something i reject, but def wouldnt buy, too heavy for me, plum, vetiver, litchi ohh too much. Ive tried to work with The One countless times and just cant. Hidden Fantasy is fresher, candy-like, playful but elegant. I find this perfume rather interesting. I don't LOVE it, but for some reason it makes me wanna wear it more often. I have this in the 100ml which at first I questioned since this was pretty much a blind buy (I smelt this years ago, like when it first released but haven't smelt it since and completely forgot about it). Firstly, many people are calling this very citrusy and I wanna correct them on that. Hidden Fantasy opens with a somewhat fruity but not so sweet orange and tangerine smell. I would say this is the least sweetest scent out of the Fantasy line, but don't get put off by this without trying it! As it wears down I get a orange cake-like smell, or some kind of orange desert smell. It still has a slight amount of sweetness but not as much as the other Fantasies, so don't worry. I would say this is my third favorite Fantasy perfume out of them all, Circus Fantasy being second and the original first. As for the sillage and lasting power, Hidden Fantasy has an ok sillage. It probably radiates around arm length, almost as powerful as the original. However the longevity still had a lot left to be desired! It lasted at least 2-3 hours on me, no where near as much as the original lasts (12+ hours).

It's been a while since I've owned Like This by Etat Libre d'Orange, but when I sprayed this my very first thought was "Finally, my heart! A cheap, good-enough replacement for Like This!" When the oranges vanish, Hidden Fantasy dries down to a soft vanilla musk scent, which reminds me more of scented plastic toys then of cake or anything Christmas-like. That‘s not neccessarily a bad thing in my book, but not what I wanted and also very faint and not executed that well here. There are still absolutely no spicy notes to my nose. I always felt like I can't fully understand this perfume.we don't have Christmas but I always had something particular in my mind as a Christmas scent,Etat de libre orange Noel au Balcon or Oriflame Love Potion are much closer to my imaginations of a Christmas perfume than Hidden FantasyI am typically a spicy frags person. I think this is, by far, the most wearable Fantasy fragrance of the selection I've tried. As would be expected, I grew out of the sweet, sugary gourmands as I grew older, and with my developing tastes I came to really enjoy the less sweet Hidden Fantasy. Although still a gourmand, Hidden Fantasy is a bit more grown-up. To my nose it smells like a delicious slice of an orange poppy-seed cake minus the sugary icing. Hidden fantasy was totally different with my imaginations,I had different imaginations and neither of them were true.orange isn't sour or acidic here and I'm thankful for that since sour citric notes give me toothache.it also doesnt smell like fake orange in cleaning products.it has a natural freshness when first sprayed but soon it warms up. The performance makes this pretty much pointless. I disappears within about 10 minutes. I get long enough to think "Oh, this is pretty", then it's pretty much gone. There is never any sillage, even within minutes of application, I have to touch my nose to my skin to smell it. I can't smell it at all within 10-15 minutes. I even tried seriously overspraying it to see if it would help. Even after 30 sprays (4-6 sprays is my usual) I still can't smell it on skin or clothes. Just as other reviewers have said, the longevity and sillage aren't great for me. However, it's cheap, so I'm happy to keep spraying.

These days I find myself reaching for my bottle of Hidden Fantasy whenever I want to fulfil a gourmand craving. It has just the right amount of citrus notes, sweetness and warmth. I have been wearing lots of Hidden Fantasy these last two Winters and am extremely impressed by both its quality and the lasting strength on my skin. Whenever I have received compliments on this fragrance, many are surprised to discover it's a Britney Spears scent.

To be honest, Hidden Fantasy was a huge disappointment to me. I had high hopes, as it often gets recommended as an atypical, kind of spicy celeb scent, and many say it smells like Christmas. That all sounded great to me and I often pondered over blind buying a bottle as it‘s also available for such a cheap price. But in the end I‘m very glad I got a sample in a swap, as it doesn‘t smell like I expected at all. Anyway, I LOVE this one and am glad to have it, but still, it's not my favorite. It opens fresh and clean, like a 'just got out of the shower' feeling, and then there's a light orange-spice feeling that comes in. I wasn't sure what 'napolitano cake' was but when I smelled this, I immediately recognized that soft, spongy homemade cake aroma. Part-vanilla extract, part Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, eggs, milk, flour, orange zest... (Well, okay, real napolitano cake is a vanilla layer, a chocolate layer, and a strawberry layer but I'm only getting a very light and faint strawberry scent here so let's just pretend it's an orange-spice layer instead...) I get an unsettled stomach for most versions of Fantasy if I wear them long enough. However, this is an exception! I've been wearing this for like a week straight with no perfume nausea, and I still think it smells amazing. On initial application there is a very stong burst of alcohol, but within a few minutes that's gone. Then it's a very nice smelling softly spiced orange cream. I found it quite linear, but it doesn't last long enough to develop into anything else. It works as a flanker to Fantasy because it smells like a sweet dessert, but it doesn't share the same DNA. I only know it is a flanker because of the name and the coordinating bottle.

I couldn't see Hidden Fantasy as a winter perfume,it was a year rounder for me,and I didn't find it as sweet or gourmand or spicy as my expectations It's a fun and zesty blend of sparkling, tangy citrus blast with some awesomely noticeable verbena (that is honestly so rare for me to detect in perfume, yet it's a scent I love) and gentle cloves that settles into a warm vanilla and slightly woody base. This is the first entry in the Fantasy line that I think could be classed as an 'adult' scent, and I think it is the best Fantasy fragrance released to date - I think this will remain as one of the least popular editions out of the Fantasy line as it isn't as edible and sweet as the other Fantasy perfumes. This dries down in to a muskiness, a certain warmth, something like cloves and pepper, whilst retaining that very strong orange top note. It’s not a bright red, plummy, juicy fruity, it’s a musky, citrus fruity.I love this, it is dark, mature, creamy, sweet, spicy and lovely. It is officially one of my favorites I may never take it off. It suits all occasions day or nightwear and in my opinion can work as a signature scent. It's a lot less sweet than the rest of the fantasy collection, more grown up and more polished which i appreciate since I do believe there is such a thing as overdosing on sweetness (yes i'm talking about you Heat Ultimate Elixer - don't get me wrong I do love sweet scents but I don't think that they're appropriate for everyday usage that's all). Its sillage is okay if you spray like an overexcited water sprinkler, and the longevity is restricted on skin. The longevity does really improve on clothes, though. It smells bloody AMAZING on clothes! I love spraying this on my night-clothes before bed. :) It's so soft and cuddly,so comforting and so nice that whenever I feel cold and blue I use it to cheer me up and boost my mood.I find it nostalgic as it reminds me of the homemade orange-vanilla cake my mom used to bake and serve it with a cup of warm,cinnamon tea Believe it or not, there are actually some celebrity perfumes that do not smell overly-sweet, overly-flowery, generic, pungent and cheap! Generally speaking, I am not a fan of most celebrity fragrances. Most of them smell low quality to my nose. When I find one that I like, it's great because they can usually be found for very reasonable prices. Designer scents tend to garner a much higher price point than their celeb counterparts. It has to be said that I love these bottles. They really are very pretty with the swarovski crystals embellishing the round, colourful bottle. I'm quite taken with it.
