Candied Fantasy Britney Spears 2024

------Blind Buy--------

After researching for this fragrance, and looking at a looot of reviews, I finally got it.

The first sprays are quite disturbing and was so scared about my purchase...

But it's just the initial sprays which smells weird. It's like a very bad mix of tropical bubble gum (even how good it sounds, at first the scent is so harsh/unpleasant), it fades few seconds after into a more pronounced bubble gum and very less tropical, the scent become very sweet and candy like.

I was WAITING to be able to smell strawberry at this point but... After few hours it's still sweet but more white floral like (jasmine and Lily of the Valley), and felt even more disappointed, I really wanted to smell that note so bad (I'm a strawberry lover).

It's not my favourite of her collection, but I would not say it's a bad one either... Just very sceptical.

On first spray this smells exactly like classic pink Hubba Bubba. Until the cake comes in all I can smell from this flanker is super sweet bubblegum. Even then, once the musk and cake arrive, the bottom notes just make the bubblegum scent heavier, they do not mask or hide the other note. The sweetness is still prominent and forward. It isn't cloying or overpowering though. A very candied and fun scent, yet also mature in a sense.

I usually apply this in the morning (2 sprays under the shirt) and will reapply later in the evening for a refresh. I expect my 100ml bottle to last awhile.

While Candied Fantasy might not be the favourite in my Fantasy collection (currently that goes to Circus), I find myself often reaching for this bottle. This was a delightful blind buy. Give it a go if you like candy scents or are a Britney fragrance fan.

Such a fun scent, and definitely a new favourite amongst the Fantasy flankers. The opening is pure bubblegum, which then settles down into a creamy, juicy candy strawberry with light floral undertones. It’s fresher than I was expecting, and scratches the “pink” perfume itch perfectly. It fades away into musk with perhaps just the barest hint of cupcake as a nod back to the original. Delicious!

The downside, as with most of this range, is the longevity. It doesn’t last long, but it’s dreamy whilst it does. With 100ml being less than £20, it’s hard to complain regardless.

Out of my Fantasy collection, this one has the third place. It's a very sweet bubblegum scent that is not too loud or screechy, it's almost mature, I don't know how else to describe it, with a hint of fruit and florals and it lasts a whole day on my skin, on my clothes it lasts even longer. When I smell it, I just want to bite into it with how delicious it smells! Though, you can't bite into a scent, of course... But sometimes I wish I could!

If you detest the sour fruity notes of the original Fantasy Eau de Parfum then Candied Fantasy is perfect.

This is basically Fantasy without the sour candy fruit notes, only the pleasant sweet perfumy notes.
Sadly in the new batches there is 0 bubble-gum. It also smells nothing like Toy 2 Bubble Gum Eau de Toilette (I own it and wish it did).

This is not a complex scent, I basically bought it as a cheap add-on to a hot weather vacation. On that note, Candied Fantasy works well in humidity and hot weather!

Sadly no longevity, but great silage from spray!
