I love smelling this perfume. It's gorgeous and and fruity.

Brit got much respect from me with the launch of Believe. I've worn Curious, Fantasy, Midnight Fantasy and Curious In Control. All of these fragrances are really fruity and floral and are more geared towards teens. Believe was definitely outside of the box in comparison with her earlier fragrances. I think it showed more of her adult side, because it's definitely more mature than her other scents. It's not too sweet or too floral. It's a nice contrast between the two and definitely my favorite of all of her scents. The tope notes of guava and tangerine are definitely there giving this perfume some sweetness, but not abundant sweetness. What I smell mostly is the honeysuckle, patchouli, lime blossom and amber. The drydown is such a pleasant surprise because I can still smell the fruit but it doesn't overshadow the spiciness of the base notes. I think it has the perfect amount of everything. Believe is a modern, everyday fragrance and should be worn in the summer. On a scale 1 to 10, I give it 8.7. It's a really beautiful fragrance.

Believe does not smell like Angel! I have Angel and they are absolutely different. Believe is a spicy and fresh scent. I smell something like pepper in it. For my taste this is not sweet..maybe just a little bit when it dries down. It ist fresh like air, and very refreshing with the guava fruit. I can smell linden blossom too.
A spring and summer scent for young women. First I thought that it has no lasting power...but after wearing it for a week now I can honestly say that I can smell it all day long. It is very long lasting on my clothes. The bottle is very cute...it reminds me of something like a diamond! After Curious this is my favourite Britney perfume :)

Fresh and bright. This is a delicious fragrance for young girls, and the bottle is cute and beautiful like a piece of jewelry. I think Believe is the best perfume of Britney

noharadwan

a very fresh clean sweet fragrance, you can wear it all the time and the bottle is very interesting for me, i liked believe but not inspired.

When I first sprayed this, it smelled like Coca-Cola... And even now over a year and a half later, every time I spray this, it STILL smells like Coca-Cola to me. I don't find it anything remotely close to 'Angel'(this is too 'fresh and light' while Angel is like a gourmand), but yes, I do agree with those who say it (somewhat) smells a little like a mans' cologne. I love the shower gel the most, it always awakens me cause of that 'freshy' note within it:)

I don't get why people say this is like angel? angel has a burnt caramel scent with patchouli that stinks and believe is a soft fruity sweet fragrance that smells nothing like angel.I like it so much I bought another gift set. Now I have 3 bottles and I really like this one it is soooo different from Britney's other scents it is more grown up.

MartinVain

To be very honest, this really killed it for me, i was at work showing a customer some perfumes and i just had to open the bottle to see how it smelt, the bottle it self is alot like angel by t.m but the smell is horrific not in a bad way just in a not very good way if that makes sense. But it came to me a bit to sour and just killed my nose, its more of her mature scents alright i give you that. I really wouldn't buy it, her other perfumes yes this one no.

Emeraude

It smells sweet and sweet and sweet...I dont know yet if I like it or not...I will try again...

eduardomm

i love britney, i loves the bottle, i loved the concept of the fragrance, but i hated the fragrance... bubblegum smell again... and i dislike this guava scent!

vtothek

Spicy and fruity are two words that come to my mind when I smell this. It's a pleasant little scent, but really nothing too Earth shattering. After the fruits are done you get a dry down of mostly patchouli. Not the best Britney scent, but not bad. If you like spicy orientals with a touch of gourmand this might be up your alley.

charlie

great fragrance... its worthy to purchased it! mark my word....

SimplyAbbey

My sister asked me to give believe a try with the body lotion. So I went and bought it and its a lot more delicious with the body lotion! I highly recommend getting it if you dont like the scent on its own! I like this fragrance more now!

missk

I would describe this as being one of Britney's more mature scents.

It's not sugary sweet like Britney's other fragrances, rather it is a sophisticated floral-oriental. It came as a little bit of a surprise to me when I first smelt it, (I guess I expected it to smell in some ways similiar to her previous efforts). I found it a little too masculine for my taste but I didn't give up. I tried it again a few months later and the magic happened.

This time I could really smell the tangerine, lime and honeysuckle, and together they smelt amazing. I immediately bought myself a bottle.

I was a little disappointed with the scent not being as long-lasting as I'd hoped, so I bought the matching body souffle which quickly ended that problem.

MinogueParfums

For me, this perfume has a guava scent when i first sprayed it, it smelled like honeysuckle for an hour, then it smells like amber after that.
The bottle is very cute, and i love the way it stays on my skin.

Bahia

The name of parfume tells a lot of truth about this parfume.He smells on hope,on fruits.I sourprised when I saw who made this parfume!And that person do that very well.My bow!

I love this parfume.It's a simphony of fruits and the bottle is so fancy and beautifful!

Let's try to thing how this parfume look like in our imagination.Fascinating,right!

Malibu

BELIEVE opens with a sweetly, fruity burst of guava pulp and tangerine. Sweet, but not sickly sweet. It’s not as overpowering in it’s sweetness as FANTASY, IN CONTROL or MIDNIGHT FANTASY. It’s the middle notes of honeysuckle and linden blossom that make BELIEVE stand out from the current tidal wave of ‘sweet shop’ fragrances that have been cropping up with alarming frequency.
The middle notes lend a ‘grown up’ feel, as the sweetness in the scent calms down.
The base notes of patchouli, amber and pink pralines lend comforting warmth, minus the sugar rush I was expecting.

While BELIEVE may just be the latest in a long line of sweet fruity/floral, it knows where to draw the line between pleasantly ‘come closer’ sweet and ‘child’s first perfume’ syrupy sensory overload.


BELIEVE is Britney’s most wearable fragrance that grown women can easily wear without embarrassment.

SimplyAbbey

I actually don't like this perfume much. It like an air fresher mixed with a cologne. Its a bit to strong so it makes me want to gag. When it settles in my skin its a bit better but I wont buy this one again.

kahokero

This one is different from Angel. I love the guava. We don't have real guava (the fruit) in new Zealand. The fragrance gives me a sparkling feel. I agree with kim white that the patchouli is too strong. My mum doesn't like the smell of patchouli. When I sprayed it, she described the smell of patchouli as something that has been kept in the storage for too long. Overall, it is still a unique fruity fragrance to me.

kay_li13

ooh wow... i finally tested this today... and while it was not what i expected, it definitely surpasses britney's curious! the guava note is too subtle for my liking but this perfume is still unique... there's something about it that makes it interesting to me... i just can't put my finger on it... i think it reminds of a hilary duff's with love minus the spicy aspect... i would consider getting a bottle when the price goes down a bit. :)

asilverfire614

I bought this unsniffed because I love Angel AND it was cheap...$30! I honestly didn't expect much from it, but I'm really glad I picked it up! It is like a fresh, fruity version of Angel with a more youthful spirit. I absolutely love the peppery opening notes followed by the sweet guava and melon notes. I think I found my perfect summer fragrance for 2009! :)

[AND I love the bottle...]

MonarC

The best frangrance from Britney!! Amazing bottle, it smells so fresh and fruity!

Trvevil

This fragrance has nothing to do with Angel because it's fresh. It's very nice fragrance, but not innocent at all. I love the guava note in it.
This is the first fragrance that holds my memory. Every time I feel it I remember... not important what..
This way this scent is unique.
When it dries down it becomes very sexy, I could compare it to Agent Provocateur sexiness, but this scent is not heavy and hasn't this old fashioned smell. This is fresh sexy scent. There's definitely good creators of these Britney Spears perfumes as I like all of them.

kim white

This perfume is very pleasant, except the patchouli makes it not as nice as it could be.Out of all her perfumes though, this one is her best.

mmsmlzgud546

This is soo good on so many levels. It is like aroma therapy. I like curious but there is no comparing the two. This is green at first then sweet then patchouli but sweet and spicy?? Somewhere in there is a juicy cherry note that just sparkles. Just a work of art. Not a teenage type of perfume.And not a run of the mill vanilla scent. I will wear it to the ballet tomorrow.

kokica

..has nothing to do with Angel (as someone mentioned it earlier)...very pear-y and fruity perfume...I liked it alot but Midnight fantasy has my heart...
the line of BS perfume is very good balanced and I've tried almost all of them..there seems to be a very good nose behind all of them,cause they are just great!!

Purssian

Honestly, this is the second time I have worn it. Sampled it at the store. I was wanting a sexier base and this has it! I think men will LOVE IT! Fruity at first and the depth of a sweeter patchouli about a 1/2 hour later. HEADY! Not for the young really.. I mean ones that like the fruity ONLY smells. It screams SEX! Heady, Sexual and seductive. The ones men and boys stop you and want to know what you are wearing! Not for the demure and shy. But up to date and modern! That man scent one commented on is what will attract! More depth than Angel and WISH by Chopard. Delicious!

Leukothea

To be honest, the packaging did not attract me, the bottle did not attract me either.. its rather pale and hmm.. uncreative. When i saw the ingredients i thought i might give it a try. A surprise it was, a surprise indeed. In the beginning, it created a confusion. Ive thought about what to write but there is no other description! It kept confusing me for 30 minutes; freshness and sweetness strugled for dominance until the freshness started fading away, leaving a very pleasant scent, still not quite sweet but definately a nice lead to the subtle gentle finish of this composition! With a solid price, lasting up to 6 hours, this perfume turned out to be a sensual experience and will win over every romantic and advanterous soul in their search of a new born spring forest in these upcoming grey and cold days! A must have for true nature lovers.

Althea

the whole package including add looks so innocent, girlie and fresh. I tried it yesterday on paper and on first smell it really is fresh. Actually it reminds me of lemon candies (a special kind that we have in slovakia) just yummy, not sweet though, it is probably the tangerine, what else? So I put it also on my wrist. For 15 to 20 minutes it really was nice, but then it changed, the fresh had gone and on my skin it went quite masculine, not nice at all. So in my opinion this is probably the worst of Britney's fragrances so far.

sjanira

I just got this today and it smells sooo good! for those of you who like sweet then this one's for you. It kinda reminds me of her fantasy perfume. This one last longer on me than fantasy and midnight fantasy.

guest_

honestly, i got this as a free sample when i purchased britney's midnight fantasy and sad to say, it rly isnt my cup of tea. it smells like lemon to me n its rather strong. nt very likeable at all. so not my type.

MuffinGirl

This perfume doesn't smell fruity to me at all. It smells more like something a man would wear. I don't think I would wear it. Unless I wanted to smell like a dude.

Missykitten

I didn't think it smelled fruity at all. It smelled like men's colonge to me.

amanda

i smelled it and i dont think its like angel, maybe the notes or a part of it can remind someone of that one, but the whole spirit is different from angel, this smelled to me a bit synthetic and forced, if someone wears angel, it cant be substituted with anything. However i can recommend you to smell Ulric de Varens - Miss Varens, i cant promise you it will smell the same, because its not that longlasting and so..., but you will see that it has a very similar smell.
But anyway, dont make compromises about perfumes:)

shopping_crazyx3

I tried this because I heard it was similar to angel, which I was thinking of buying. If angel is as good as it, hopefully better, I will get it. Believe is sweet, like most other Britney Spears perfumes, and eventhough I'm not a big fan of Britney Spears, I can't help but like her perfumes. They're all very subtly sweet, but not overly disgustingly sweet. Also slightly mysterious and sexy. I like them. Is angel by t.m. anything like that?

crysna

i wear this fragrance i care about this cuz make me feel clean. i love watery scents and definitely this is one of then. in my opinion its a great move from britney to co-work with elizabeth arden. great smell, awesome bottle design and the notes are very fruity!!! good work britney!

LoveScent

I own this perfume. It smells really good not that sweet more of a floral smell. Works for me!

guest_Ninulia

I smelled it in Duty Free And was SHOCKED but didn't buy it because it was Britney but I truly regreeet!!! it's wonderful sweet, fresh and very flirty:) I will definetely buy it nest time!!

guest_lormina

not bad but worse than the other britney's fragrances. the best in my opinios was curious, but this one is too sweet and tries to be too girlish, it would be better with some serious notes.its the type of perfume that gives me a headache

takemyhusbandplz

I'd actually rate Believe as 3.5 stars, it's not quite a solid 4 to me. I don't care who's name is on a fragrance- if you like it wear it! I had to try Believe, because I just LOVE Fantasy. For the most part I think Believe is a nicely done fruity floral, with some oriental notes. Believe has a light patchouli base, a touch of honeysuckle, amber and some soft fruity notes (smells like guava or melon to me). Usually, anything with honeysuckle or patchouli doesn't wear well on my skin. Surprisingly, Believe is soft and is fairly warm. It actually reminds me of a more innocent, fruity, less heady version of Prada EDP.

Believe dries down rather quickly on my skin and becomes very light. You'd have to be very close to smell it at all on my skin, which makes Believe an intimate type of scent. It seems to give me more sillage on warmer days, so I'd imagine Believe would be best suited to sunny summer days. I did catch a hairspray type note, but it didn't last long on me. I like Fantasy better, but Believe is good in its own right. Worth a try for sure!

The parallel with T.M. Angel is really neat! Ingredients really promise very sweet fragrance but bottle and color is like menthol mint... probably good comparison to Angel and its sweet surprise. Well we will see.
