Fancy Nights Jessica Simpson 2010

A while ago I remember a large number of people mention Fancy Nights as a dupe or some sort of a substitute for Chanel's Coromandel. Upon testing both, this could not be further from truth. What they might share is the overall sweet balmy patchouli rich general tone. Fancy Nights should definitely be a scent to be consulted by any fan of dark patchouli scents and by those who aren't afraid (of no ghosts) of prominent vanilla notes. Be forewarned, the opening may be highly offensive to some as the bergamot and papyrus come together in a powerful screechy blast only to be subdued with a few passing minutes. You'll be greeted by a strong almost chocolatey patchouli note, some demure floral notes in the background accompanied by earthy mossy tones. The overall ensemble is framed by a highly texturized, somewhat balmy, sweet vanilla note, which seems to act like a balancing pendulum that swings the scent from one extreme straight to the next and eventually come to a perfect balance. Overall, this is extremely pleasant to wear, it's very good quality, there's certainly plenty of original thought, and my personal experience with Fancy Nights has been nothing but delight. The scent is strong, bold and potent. It projects and lasts extremely well.
