The ingredients in this are far superior to the horrible reformulated fantasy, it is a sin in the fragrance world considering how beautiful the first releases were (plus it's hard to find fresh bottles now of the pre-reformulated version).

When I first smelt this it was very familiar, I knew I had smelt this before, its very similar to Aquolina's "Pink Sugar" perfume, but with a fresh twist - which would be the pear and water lily, which may be the only differing factor between the two fragrances. The Britney Spears range follows this tried and true formula and the perfumes have been produced by perfume industry veterans who have created some of the top designer and celebrity fragrances on the market. It does remind my nose of Katy Perry’s “Mad Love” but that has a stronger thicker scent more creamy and less linear and fruity like Rainbow is. Update: so if they had better quality cherry note, the plum as a middle note and also whipped cream here or amber instead of sugar it'd have been better. This is a surprise review I'm making because I honestly didn't expect to get anymore Britney fragrances.That’s exactly what’s happened with Midnight Fantasy, Britney Spears’ fourth fragrance release and one of the best-selling fragrances in her collection. I’ve loved the original Fantasy for many years but on me it smelled more fruity than cupcake and I am not a huge fan of fruity perfumes. I would say its a blend of Fantasy and Midnight, but doesnt have the strong plum fruity overtone like Midnight. And not only there's a beautiful dose of modern rendition patchouli, the musks and orris are less gritty in the base than in the original one.

It's slightly older, more mature with toned down sweet notes, which is what I adored about the original Fantasy.Would've been better to have light blue or purpley diamonds on the bottle to match the base of the lid instead of the boring pink. It has notes of pear, vanilla and patchouli (I would definitely NOT say a dupe for La Belle but some of the notes match). Testing it again today, I got an odd mixture of a fairly pleasant gourmand perfume (all of the above still true) plus bug spray. This fragrance is perfect for nights out in winter as it is quite strong and would smell absolutely delicious in the cold. Or I'd go to a site where you used to be able to see 2 or 3 pages of Britney perfumes for sale and now it's only down to a few on one page.

If it's the sweet notes that appeal then definitely wear this on your skin the patchouli vanishes and the cupcake comes out.The citrus, green, aromatic, and fresh accords really complement the sweet, fruity, and caramel accords.

I have been wearing this in the daytime since getting it but can imagine wearing this on nights out as it is strong and lasts ages, and has more of an ‘edgy’ vibe to it than the original. I'm so impressed that with just 2 note changes they created a similar yet different version of a classic. I do find a slight difference compared to the original, a tad bit more warm and a tiny bit of spice. These 2 fragrances do not smell alike and are not dupes, but I believe he's referring to just the sweet warm scent he used to get off me, and jessica simpson fancy is a fruity caramel scent. I'm not sure how involved Britney was with this composition, given what she has been going through, but this is definitely a step in the right direction with the Fantasy line.On my skin the kiwi note is not as prominent but takes on a hard candy sweetness, likened to a kiwi Jolly Rancher.
