Believe could easily be your classic celebrity mall fare, but there’s something about its bright, outspoken aroma that, ten years later, feels kind of edgy. This is a fruity peach scent accompanied with fresh fruity notes like green apple, mandarin and raspberry. The pop icon is still growing in popularity, but not for her music or TV performances – but for her perfumes. It’s recognised as one of the sweetest perfumes on the market, with a strong vanilla and chocolate cupcake scent, complimented by a fruity kiwi. The signature fantasy sugary undertone is still there but the fruity notes, particularly the watermelon are the main notes which makeup the scent.

But before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s get one thing straight: Britney Spears is not a guilty pleasure. Britney Spears Fantasy Sheer is another new release in the Fantasy perfume line which doesn’t have any new promotional pictures of Britney. This all comes together to produce a formulation that is quite distinct from the other Fantasy choices but maintains some of that heritage with its sweetness.This feminine summer scent has tropical Tiare Flower, Fire Lily and Honeydew Melon in; which create a carefree perfume ideal for hot weather.

Besides Fantasy and Curious, there are other main entries in the Britney Spears fragrance line up, including Believe. Most of Britney’s perfumes land firmly in the sweet, gourmand genre, which makes perfect sense when you remember that one of Britney’s most iconic tweets was about her love for vanilla candles.This is a scent for the colder months of the year, particularly winter, as it carries a warm, delicious tone to it. Believe, which was released during Britney’s mid-2000s breakdown, is a fruitchouli blend of guava, tangerine, honeysuckle, praline, and patchouli. It is also hard to find the body products sold separately, so you really need to get a gift set to get things like the body lotion which will help layer the fragrance. Britney Spears, the iconic pop sensation, has not only graced the music world with her chart-topping hits but has also left an indelible mark in the fragrance industry.

The relevance of the Fantasy name is proven seeing as Intimate Edition launched in 2015, a whole decade following the original release. It reminds me of an orange flavoured sweet; which I think could be easily layered with other fragrances to add a citrus vibe. Glitter Fantasy is the first bottle to be totally sparkly and not have the diamonds scattered around the bottle.

The signature sweet notes are definitely still there, as is a fruitiness which comes from a raspberry note, but the sweet floral vibes of the apricot blossom make this a bit softer and more feminine than previous Fantasy perfumes. It’s more Unicorn Frap than Caramel Frap, an instant sugar rush that’s fun at first, but can give you a toothache later.
