Helpful Review
Strong, overly-sweetened white floral
I always approach any scent by Britney Spears with a sense of eagerness and trepidation. I loved many of her earlier fragrances, however more recent releases like Hidden Fantasy and Circus Fantasy failed to interest me.
Radiance is pleasant to say the least. I am a mixture of disappointment and relief upon smelling this for the first time today.
At first, Radiance opened with sharp fruits, resembling stale sweat. I was quite horrified, ready to claim this fragrance as the worst from her yet. Thankfully, Radiance settled into something much more likable.
I find it very similar to Circus Fantasy, just not as musky and less sweet. The tuberose comes through quite strongly, having a somewhat buttery quality.
The scent is smooth, feminine and pretty. It's nothing outstanding or particularly unique, however I find myself enchanted by its scent. It would make a lovely white floral choice for Spring and Summer.
I once owned and loved Curious a few years ago, which I found to be more jasmine and vanilla based. For those that adore Curious, they may also enjoy Radiance.
The lasting strength was pretty average, only lasting six hours on my skin, no more. However I don't see any harm in re-applying during the day. My only gripe with this fragrance is the possibility that it could become a little sticky and cloying in humid weather.
