@Rebecca MacKinnon it's not lol. Formula is just amounts of certain products used, like a recipe. But if over time you change quality of products used in the same recipe/formula, the manufacturers did admit they don't use the exact same oils as back when the perfume was released, which is normal over time. But it's unfair to say it's the same formula. Even if they add the same quantity of each ingredient, clearly ingredients which were way more potent years ago are now downgraded cheap replacements (the sweet cupcake ingredient), and the others used now are way more prominent (the kiwi obviously). So if they don't have access to same perfume oils, they should adjust the newer ingredients to blend and smell like it used to. Clearly you didn't experience the previous product if you think everything is the same over 15yrs later lol. Notes listed are the same, but what's inside the bottle has had a transformation
Good review! A little info on the bottle: When the perfume was first released it actually was made with Swarvoski crystals, but it isn't anymore since that is very expensive to produce. Same with the crystals on the rim, they aren't put on the newer bottles because its cheaper to put a plastic rim on. I recently did a review of this, but I didn't talk much about the notes lol. Your review has made me want to do a new one. :)
Love this perfume. It's got good mileage for something that's not expensive! It smells like candy pink dreams! I'm 34 so I feel like it's a bit young for me but what the he'll. Also the bottle design is stunning a super girlie for anyone's dressing table. Midnight fantasy is lovely too only difference is it's a but more fruity. Gotta say she does do amazing perfumes:)
it is mentioned somewhere that they stopped using Swarovski crystals because the glue being used for the crystals was melting at higher temperatures. hence you dont have the bottle in 2012... it stopped in 2008.
Even though I have my channel, guerlain and Diors, my collection would always feel like something is missing without fantasy, I'm about to be 30 and I was 15 when fantasy was released, I have so many happy memories of this perfume! This one has a special place in my teen years and feels nostalgic every time I smell it
Yes, it arrived few days ago and what a bummer..They've changed the formula so much! All I could smell was plastic. It's too synthetic for my liking. So I got myself Burberry woman and Elie Saab Le Parfum [forgive me if the names are wrong]. I really like both of these fragrances; they last really on me :-) Not that great silage tho! I was hoping you could suggest some EDP with good silage, suitable for office and available in India :-(
The one with the green crystals on the top are the Fantasy before it was reformulated. It smelt a lot better if you can imagine. More of the cupcake before it was reformulated.
You are right, the original one was much much more foody and the newer one if more fruity, they are both really cool. I still love this perfume after many years.
Yes this one stays in my collection year round. I base vanilla type lotions (Victoria Secret Vanilla Lace but now it’s been discontinued 😭) with it and in the summer coconut to give it a summer vibe🍨🥥. I love your reviews. You have a great personality and make me laugh 😆 I love how you describe the perfumes as if I can smell them while you go into detail. 💖 I just bought Shalimar and Terracotta based on your review. Also I added a few to my list for future purchases. 😎
Thanks so much. Ahhh i haven't reviewed that one although I have owned a bottle. I think personally it was the least interesting and I finished it quickly. :(
ouch110 Fragrance Reviews Yes, I agree with you. :-( I had seen some reviews that said it was really good and different. I got it a couple of days ago and I'm disapointed. Thank you for your answer!
Michelle Atkin Yes! I wish I had tried the original formulation of Fantasy. The one with the jewels. I got one from Ebay but it was totally spoiled and smelled horrible. boooooo. :(
hey hun I love your videos and you are so adorable / cute / charming ! I was on fragrantica and I noticed many comments about a reformulation of this not being that great. I ordered it today from amazon, I used to wear it years ago when it first came out. It was my favorite. I read that the reformulation happened around 2008, since this review is from 2013 I am assuming this is a review of the reformulated version right?
Hello! Aww thanks that's so kind. Yes this one is the newer one. The way to tell is that the old one has the green crystals around the rim of the sprayer. The newer ones do not. I've also heard that it's been reformulated AGAIN but...I know nothing of the newest one. :( Sorry! :)
Hi there! Thanks so much for your comment. Of course! I would love to do an inerview for you that would be fun. If you like, send me a message and we can arrange. What's your blog? I'll go check it out. Thanks Again.
It’s 2024 and just now purchased this. I smell no cupcake note like others do😢
I’m 8 years late to the party, but your review is still super helpful! Thank you!
Don't be so sure. The new formulations of this perfume make me sad now : (

No offense but it doesn't matter how old it is, everyone loves it just like they do pink sugar by aquolina
it is mentioned somewhere that they stopped using Swarovski crystals because the glue being used for the crystals was melting at higher temperatures. hence you dont have the bottle in 2012... it stopped in 2008.
Pretty ornament to decorating a shelf, sensuous shade of pink and the design of the jar is so beautifully feminine.🍓
I love the look and smell of this purfume reminds me of candy floss so sweet it's just gorgeous
Always enjoy your reviews !
I don't own any of Britney's music, but I love her perfumes.
I love her music and her perfumes 😊 She’s a legend. 💕💕
Even though I have my channel, guerlain and Diors, my collection would always feel like something is missing without fantasy, I'm about to be 30 and I was 15 when fantasy was released, I have so many happy memories of this perfume! This one has a special place in my teen years and feels nostalgic every time I smell it
I still like it too. I moved away from fruity gourmands but it's still a lovely delicious perfume. :)
Keep the memories! Your taste will change over time but keep those perfumes that take you back to a place and time. :) it’s so FUN!
Excellent review...really articulate, detailed and lovely!
I've ordered this perfume based on your review and I can't wait for it to arrive! I love your reviews and your accent! :-)
Oh wow!! hehe has it come? Do you like it?
Yes, it arrived few days ago and what a bummer..They've changed the formula so much! All I could smell was plastic. It's too synthetic for my liking.

I bought it from Tj max. At first I did not like it. Now I like it. My grandma told me she love how I smelled it
The one with the green crystals on the top are the Fantasy before it was reformulated. It smelt a lot better if you can imagine. More of the cupcake before it was reformulated.

btw watching this in 2022
"i don't know if she's going to do any more of them"
cut to 2021. LOL.
The intimate version is the best perfume from all the fantasy perfumes, I think.
:)
Just purchased it last week waited for it in shipment :)
I love all of your reviews!!! and also most of your comments u have put on Fragantica as well :)
:)
I just bought this today, but I’m not getting great performance from it. I’ll keep trying it out. Maybe I’m just not used to it yet.
I'm hoping they didn't reformulate it a 3rd time. :(
Just got this perfume for my birthday, love it!! And your review is awesome! I
Excellent review. It's so complete. Thank you! Do you have a review of Hidden Fantasy?
Thanks so much. Ahhh i haven't reviewed that one although I have owned a bottle. I think personally it was the least interesting and I finished it quickly. :(
ouch110 Fragrance Reviews Yes, I agree with you. :-( I had seen some reviews that said it was really good and different. I got it a couple of days ago and I'm disapointed. Thank you for your answer!
Yes it's kinda vaguely orangey, and..not so inspiring! haha
ouch110 Fragrance Reviews Yes! I agree! I blind buy it. 😏 Thanks for your reply!!
This is my every day perfume, always get compliments x
Nice review, I wished you will get to the point some of us work all day. Thank you
This is me 7 years ago. My style has changed dramatically.
Hi there, when you say rating out of 10 for each perfume do you mean the "Fantasy" range?
Like an overall rating? sure. :)
You just sold me this perfume! Thanks! Buying this later at Sephora :)
Yay have fun. It's yummy and so affordable too. :)
@Oi Lu it doesn't matter, i'm a guy and I wear feminine and unisex perfumes. You can wear the f you want
This one is excellent. It’s stronger than I expected.
You most likely know this by now but just incase... before 2008 they had real crystals and that was the bottles that also had them around the neck.
Michelle Atkin Yes! I wish I had tried the original formulation of Fantasy. The one with the jewels. I got one from Ebay but it was totally spoiled and smelled horrible. boooooo. :(
She has island fantasy now :)
I just ordered this and a few other ones cant wait to smell them
Enjoy!
Aw thanks! It is one of her best I think. It's just toooooo yummy.

Actually....I have all of her perfumes....he said fantasy is the first.... It's not....it's actually curious.....:)
And I love her music.....Britney is a queen
Hello! :) I said it was the first in the fantasy line. Not her first ever perfume. :)
You're welcome! And I just uploaded my updated review, which I think is much better than my first. Oh, I subscribed to you btw. :)
Hello! Well my email is ouch110@hotmail.com I'll send you a messaget oo just incase. How exciting!
ouch110 Fragrance Reviews Do you have a Instagram? What is it?
Please get a better camera, lighting and speak louder..
Apparently only the first few perfumes came with the crystals
I think it was the first formulation, when the crystals disappeared? The formula changed. :(
Es el mejor perfume
