Radiance Britney Spears for women

When did Michael Kors release MICHAEL in a new bottle? Smells awfully similar...

I hope all this gossip of Britney coming out with a new fragrance called "Golden Radiance" is true!!! We shall wait & see.. ;)

Brit has a new one on the way! Britney Spears Golden Radiance!

i blindly bought this resulting from a combination of nostalgia from missing my bottle of curious ( it was my first perfume as a teenager, but it ended up crystallizing for some reason) and my inability to pass up a good deal.
I was hoping it would be somehow reminiscent of curious's juicy/freshness, however sadly it was a disappointment.
Firstly the bottle does not look as good in person as it did online, half of the gems are sort of frosted and weird looking. Secondly and most importantly the fragrance to my nose is a let down.
After a spray the scent is immediately synthetic tuberose and sugar...and thats it.
after about an hour the dry down is actually quite nice like expensive clean french milled soap, nice but not worth the initial smack in the face of synthetic flowers.
this one is also extremely headache inducing, for some reason whenever certain florals + sweets combine it is like a knife in my brain! lol
Sadly despite the great deal i got, i gotta return this baby :(
no offense to those that enjoy it, everyone perceives scents differently and I am sure i would find this non-offensive if worn by another person

From all the rave reviews, I was excited to get this perfume because I love most of Britney's perfumes.
But I can't detect any of the mentioned sweetness.
It's all floral (I think jasmine) to me.
This is my least favorite Britney perfume I have. I really hoped to like the perfume, but the floral scent gives me a headache.

Smells fruity, nice and sweet, mostly of red berries (raspberries?) but after a while I can smell the flowers as well. Not a bad smell at all, but nothing special.

Really weird mix like most of the Britney´s fragrancies are! I wanted some new fragrance n I told to my friend just buy this one for me (she went abroad) even though I didn´t know how does it smell. (That happened just after Britney has launched this. So old story already, but any way...) Maybe there is something if u really like her, you will also like her fragrancies already. I have to admid that if there wasn´t her name in the bottle I wouldn´t use it. Or neather buy it at the first place.

BUT still after this talk I have to say that I like this one, not every day wear, but some times with certain feeling. And the way how she does it, these perfums, they are so different and totally something else than just some basic flower fragrance.

extremely sweet!!

lovely boyfriend of mine bought this for me as he thought the bottle is so cute and probably i will like it too. the smell of radiance only work for me after the smells settle down. the 1st hour after spraying it on is just too strong for me. but then after few hours i got several compliment from my work colleague. so somehow it really help in making my day whenever i'm down. too bad boyfriend not a fan of the smells though...he is sticking with the 1st perfume i wore when we first met, which is avon perfume. :P

Hi i would like to know which smells nicer NafNaf fashion instinct or radiance by britney

this was a blind buy for me and I got it because I saw it dirt cheap. I mostly wear gourmands but every so often I get a craving for a floral perfume and my taste usually leans towards gardenia and tuberose. While I like this well enough, its not love. I get red berries and tuberose. The end. I'm not entirely sure that its a winning combination even though it smells pleasant enough. Hmmm...to be honest, I was expecting something a bit more floral and less fruit. Picture rasberries and some currants sprinkled with tuberose petals. I actually like most BS fragrances but I think this one is the weakest one in the bunch(and lasting power is not good either, 2 hours tops). I just got this so will test some more and update.

NOTHING SPECIAL...TRUST ME...I BOUGHT IT AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE SMELLS CHEAP!

very good fragrance. smells sexy and beauiful. I love this

The official perfume description is VERY true & honest:
Luscious berries and dewy petals unfold to reveal a radiant heart of luminous pure white flowers, lit from within by the glow of precious amber, woods and sexy musk.

This is Britney's best perfume by far! Its hard to describe because its not overly sweet, its fresh but not clean. It's just PERFECT. =)

I got a 100ml bottle from my ex boyfriend for my nameday, because she knew it that i loooove the Britney perfumes.
I never smelled it before, and I'M TOTALLY WITH LOVE this perfume!:D it's AWESOME!! i really love it.

This smells very similar to Curious, but it is sweeter and fruitier - much better than Curious IMO. When you first spray Radiance, you get a burst of berries which quickly fades into a lovely, light floral scent. There is a sweetness to this perfume, but nowhere near as sweet as Britney's Fantasy collection. I don't normally go for floral perfumes but i really like this one, however it doesn't last that long on me, it almost disappears completely after about an hour :( I would wear Radiance during the day, it's perfect for the summer too as it's nice and light.

Radiance starts with a sweet yummy candy like berry note which, despite being sweet isn't cloying but refreshing and pleasant. To mix with the yummy fruitiness of berries, sexy jasmine joins in and gives the fragrance a nice boost of white florals.

Can be best described as fruity+ white floral scent. The sweet candy phase doesn't stay too long and after that white florals run the show till the end.

The bottle of this once is really nice! I think the only problem is it smells very little girl like and candyish. I think this is more suited for pre-teens and teens. It's nice in small hits and any more than one spray of this is just too overwhelming!
It is great it's just suited for a younger crowd.

I love the balance of red berries (more of a grape even though it's not listed) with white petals. It wasn't love at first sniff, it's its freshness and lightheartedness that won my affection. To me it smells classy yet youthful...but not enough to be girly. The bottle is girly though.

I believe it's her best fragrance.

Never sorry blind buy of this one. First 5 minutes, I can't detect what flowers and fruit is, but I love the way its scent entering my head. Tuberose works so well. Red Berry noticed.
This' not sweet neither bitter. So balance for me. Not kinda girly and not woman even old lady...I guess every age can have it! I suggest this one for the ladies who like floral fruity that calming, relaxing and excellent. Maybe I will take Radiance to everywhere I go from now

Britney is working this verywell !!!

Radiance is a summer fragrance. Delicately sweet and agrèable. Fresh like it's berries.

I just bought Radiance's kit for my girlfriend as her birthday is coming up, she's damn sure gonna smell lovely...

The bottle is Britney's best one, I must say.

If you're looking for a fresh, lightly sweet and kind fragrance, Radiance is a great choice.
Girly on an adorable and well measured way.

Radiance is my all time favorite perfume! I'm not just saying that because I'm a Britney fan, but I LOVE Britney's perfumes. They consist of a lot of vanilla which I LOVE. This one smells like berries, vanilla and elegance.

A lot of people say their favorite Britney perfume is Curious or Fantasy, so I bought a small bottle of Curious and a 1 oz of Fantasy, and I'm sort of glad I didn't get full sizes. I love Fantasy, but it's definitely not as good as Radiance. Curious just smells like just floral-ness, where Radiance has a healthy mixture. If your thinking of trying any of Brit's perfumes, I'd suggest Curious if your a floral fan, Radiance if you like berries and vanilla, because Radiance and Curious smell like opposites!

Usually a fan of Britney perfumes, this one was very bland, nothing special about it.

When I first heard that Britney makes perfume, I thought What the hell?! - I'm not a fan of her music or Britney herself... But I have to say that she's quite good at perfumes!! I've smelled Fantasy, Midnight Fantasy and ths.

This is one of my fave perfumes! It's more fruity but with a warm cuddly touch. It opens with red berries and then comes everything else :) What surprised me is that it's not that sweet unlike other Britney's perfumes.

The thing I don't like is the berries. The problem with that note is that it makes me nauseous, and I'm afraid that's hat happens here too... Oh wel I guess I'm just gonna have to try it again. :)

Scent: 9.5/10
Bottle: 11/10 - so pretty and doesn't look cheap to me!

I usually really like Britney Spears' perfumes but 'Radiance' is just not my taste at all! I found it very cheap, synthetic smelling and the bottle is quite tacky looking. I sprayed this on my arm in a shop and I kept getting whiffs of it and it made me feel a bit sick. This is unfortunate because as I said before, I like all her other fragrances.

Has anyone smelled dkny golden delicious? I think radiance is a light version of it.

I thought of a big watermelon when I tested it. Now that I see the notes, it was probably the red berries. It's more a fresh and clean scent. Mabye it's because I do not like fresh and also tuberose, but it wasn't appealing to me.

Some people think that this perfume smells Purr by Katy Perry. I don't however. This smells nothing like Cosmic Radiance. I hate the bottle! It's pure ugliness.

I hate the way the bottle looks its really ugly looking and it doesn't smell amazing at all. I actually cant stand it is nothing amazing same with Cosmic Radiance! Bland!

when i first sprayed this on i wasn't sure if i was going to like wearing it and even considered washing it off. it has that strange note in it that smells like celery, but only at the start. about 20 mins. after i applied it, it turned into a rich creamy soft floral and that celery note was gone. i'm liking it very much now and am amazed at its longevity. it has lasted about 4 hrs on me so far and i can still smell it. nice.

Good job for a celebrity perfume! Nice bottle, good price, the scent reminds of cherry or apple blossoms, very floral, not a favorite but I like it.

I have a few samples. I like Midnight Fantasy, so I thought I'd try Radiance. Notes seemed promising.

The fragrance reminds me a bit about Viva la Juicy, but it's less sweet and more sour, fresh, also radiant indeed. Red berries quickly go away and there come the radiant flowers. They shine and shine like jewels - but nice ones. Then the wood comes out. All in all, top and heart notes last shortly - only about 1 hour and a half and then base comes out and lasts for about 2 hours. So that's a really short time imo.
What I like the most is red currant - I can't find Aqua Allegoria Grosellina anywhere and the currant is nice...

The scent is positive and bright and shining but I met low shelf fragrances with longer lasting power. This one is none. So:

lasting power: 1,2/5
fragrance: 3,6/5
bottle: 3,3/5

It seems too much attention was put to a look of the bottle than the fragrance itself... all in all the bottle looks better in pics, in reality there aren't any jewels but it's a coloured glass sticking outside.

Well, the Radiance bottle seems to be a bit contentious! I'm one of the women who really disliked the look of this bottle and it put me off from even trying the perfume! The coloured tile effect is similar to Ungaro's Apparition perfumes but those bottles are much nicer and classier looking than the Radiance bottle which just looks a bit cheap & nasty!!

However, I was sent a mini of Radiance by a swap partner on here and I really like it. It's a really well formulated fruity floral with the berries being the most predominant note to me, together with the jasmine, amber and musk. I'd call it a 'midweight' fruity floral because it's not too light or fruit juice'y, and it's not too heavy and sickly. I also think the amber, musk and cashmere give it a depth and sexiness that a lot of floral fruities don't necessarily have.

I think I'll be looking out for a good deal on Radiance and will then get myself a big bottle, even if I do think the bottle itself is a bit yucky and tacky looking! I thought the Believe bottle wasn't very nice but this one is even less nice but the perfume is miles better than Believe. This is definitely a joint fave Britney perfume for me, along with Curious.

i love the smell its actually good....
but my only problem is, this fragrance doesn't last longer on my skin thought its EDP, it last less than an hour... so i prefer fantasy range over this one... still i love the smell and the bottle..

This is a very nice fruity/floral perfume and oh yeah the bottle is gorgeous!

so sexy makes me feel gorgous love

This is a very fruity fragrance, I didn't detect any floral notes at all. It began with a blast of something that smelled like guava or pineapple, not like berries to me. Then it changed briefly to coconut. This was followed by the end, a peachy musk.
This is a very simple fragrance, geared to the teen market. The bottle far outdoes the fragrance it holds.

fresh berry jam and musk combo. not too shabby; and better lasting power in comparison to other BS perfumes.

i don't like the bottle at all.. but i love the fragrance.. i can't describe it...but it smells sooo good and sexy to me

I don't think the bottle is cheap and tacky. There are some designer perfumes out there which are just as bad. I think because it is Britney some people are judging too quickly. I found the perfume lasted and lasted on my wrist. I did not get any Charlie Red I have worn that one for about 15 years. I think it is a little like Paris Hilton's Siren with a little berrie at the beginning which soon fades. I found it quite a strong perfume not like Red Door but strong on my wrist. I think for the price it's a good perfume and it has a little of everything to please everyone. It is no comparison to Givenchy or Gucci or whatever but for something pleasant at a price most people can afford and easy to find I think Brit did good. It is less sweet than the fantasy line and not as bizzare as Believe so she is just trying to cater for people who want this type of scent. If it is not enough for you then just stick to Fantasy range or move on but stop complaining it is cheap and the bottle is tacky blah blah. It certainly isn't cheap rubbish one thing Elizabeth Arden does well is make good quality perfumes that are not too bizzare and are priced well I would never say they are rubbish they just don't have much prestige associated with them because basically some people are snobs and they are missing good value. I support you Brit you keep the perfumes coming:)

I found this to be a pleasant fresh,floral scent.Many may say that this isnt a unique scent but i really do find it radiant,lovely for everyday wear and i feel that its safe for those who tend to get headaches pretty easily from stronger scents =)

Radiance was an immense disappointment. When first sprayed it's nearly jarring. My first thought was: oh, no! I won't be able to wear this again. I nearly washed it off. Of course, after some time I kind of liked it; maybe that's too generous of me to say, perhaps 'I could tolerate it' is a more honest conclusion. The lasting power is really pitiful. Another thing I noticed is that soon after it is sprayed you can no longer smell it on yourself: how strange is that? The bottle is delightful, really quirky & pretty: if only I liked its contents as much.

I feel like when you spray on Radiance you get a ton of sweet berries in the opening. It dries down to a soft floral after about a 30 minutes to an hour of it on your skin. I feel that this perfume stays more close to your skin unlike some of her other perfumes (Fantasy line, Believe etc.).

I have to admit, I did think of Curious when I first tried this at the store a while back. But when I kept going back and testing it out I feel that what makes Radiance different from Curious is the berries. I feel that Curious is more of a sweet floral as with Radiance is more of a berries floral, or sweet floral you could say.

This perfume doesn't last a really long time, it lasted on my skin about 3-4 hours and even when I smelled my wrist I couldn't smell anything. So, that's a downside of the perfume.

I feel like the bottle looks kinda tacky in pictures and in person also. The jewels aren't exactly "glued on", but it totally looks like they are. The bottle looks cheapy made so that's another downside I think to the perfume.

Regardless, I love this perfume. Even though it's not really unique smelling or different, when I put this on I feel radiant.

An initially mature floral which gets younger and sweeter as it evolves..

Initial 1 hour = yet another floral

1 hour - 2 hours - turns 60% floral and 40% sweet candy

2 hours - Projection all gone and stays very close to skin

Sorry, waste of money

I feel the opposite from the last reviewer about this fragrance. I hated the bottle and it prevented me from trying it for a long time- also i'm not a huge fan of Britney scents so far but this one I actually quite enjoy. Its not ground breaking but it's a nicely done floral and very wearable. I'm liking her more recent fragrances as the earlier ones tended to be too sweet for my taste. From first spray I get floral coupled with a nice woody scent with just a hint of sweetness. Lasting power is only ok, perhaps not as long lasting as the fantasy range but it still holds its own when compared to a lot of other scents on the market. On the whole according to my preferences I find Britney's scents are getting better, more mature and more wearable for me (I'm 29). I really enjoy this one and circus fantasy! :0)

i am really disappointed with this fragrance.. firstly i really like the bottle and because of that i was sure i was going to get it .. however, it didn't turn out the way i hoped. theres nothing bad about this fragrance but its nothing spectacular either. from the first spray all i could smell was grape and tuberose and it didn't go anywhere from there .. the lasting power was also very poor as i remember this lasting about 1 and a half hours tops..its really a shamed as i really wanted the bottle :( .. lets all hope cosmic radiance is nothing like this!

It does smell nice, not as sugary sweet as her other scents but it does not blow me away either, its okay.

The bottle is sparkling, but I am not sure about the scent.

I really wanted to like this based on what other people compared it to, but to my surprise I did not.
I tested it at the store, and found it did not last and smelled more suitable for a teenager. Had a candy-like and unsophisticated smell in my opinion. Disappointing.

Para mi este perfume huele a uva pero de una manera un tanto sofisticada es extremadamente frutal, a mi me parece muy rico y joven, ¡me encanta!

I sprayed this on today at Belks. I have to say the lasting is very good! It is nice just to Sweet for me. I can't wait to smell the NEW version.

I don't know if I like this one... I think it's a little inexpressive, and more for mature ladies. Very similar to Estée Lauder's Beyond Paradise.

LOVE IT SO MUCH !!! want it so badly can't wait to get my hands on it . I think this smells a little bit like givenchy very irresistible the only difference is the berry top note (wich is very strong) I THINK THE BOTTLE IS ADORABLE!!! I don't get why people say it's tacky is so cute and girly *-*

This now 50% off in Sears Canada

I wish I could like this one. It is promising upon the first spray, but all I get throughout the day is slightly bitter tuberose and nutty plastic. I don't smell a single berry. I don't know which notes are responsible for that nut-scented plastic smell. I did try this a few times just to make sure my nose wasn't having an off day. I don't dislike this enough to say anything particularly witty about it--it just didn't work for me.

Lasting power is so-so: if your body chemistry goes with this one, it is a good "hot day" perfume. I couldn't smell it wafting up on me, which is just as well because I didn't like it. It only lasted about 4 hours on me.

The bottle is absolutely darling!! It is made of glass, not plastic. At least I only bought a mini.

i just bought it, the price is cheap and smells nice like a bubble gum candy..i think its very similar to others Britney's perfume, is this her trade mark or what??
longevity is so so, the bottle looks so girlie, suitable for teens..
first time i spray, the odor was so strong, made me got headache suddenly but only for 30mnts then it became softer.. it is very suitable for day occasion..not recommended for evening/night.

I really liked it and smelled it at Kohls and to be honest it was great fresh smell and i loved the bottle design :]

I love this one! It's very fresh, clean and sexy at the same time. The lasting power is just okay to me. It's better than 'Curious' but this one is about only 4 hours on my skin. That's make me really dissappointed because I absolutely love the scents. I should be last longer!! :'(
However if you don't care about lasting power, this is gonna be one of your favorite perfume from Britney 4 sure. ;)

First off I can't see why everyone keeps comparing Radiance to Curious, I love and own them both,In fact I have all 9 Britney Fragrances. But for me they smell totally different.
Curious: Is a fresh floral, sort of sweet and innocent.
Radiance: is still listed as a fruity floral but I find it in a way much more sexier and grown up than curious.

When I wear this I feel beautiful and sexy its suitable for any time of the day or event.
Can't understand for one minute why a lot of people dislike this one for me I think its by far her best to date.

I have just finished my 3rd 100ml bottle and I am waiting for a new one to arrive, I just can't live without its that great.
According to wikipedia she is the biggest celebrity perfume seller ever.
With a collection of perfumes like this its not hard to see why.
Keep them coming Britney yours have always been the best.
You look truely "Radiant" in the add too.

I have the lotion and it lasts forever on my skin; I can still smell it the next morning. I wear it year round, but for some reason, it reminds me of a crisp, fall day. I'm not sure why though, maybe the berries? I can't wait for Cosmic Radiance! Hurry up, Brit!

I smelled this at Target and it reeked! I felt like I sprayed on bug repellent. Not good at all

Radiance smells like Charlie Red, but I think Charlie Red was better- definitely lasted longer. I love Britney, but this one doesn't do it for me.
UPDATE: I tried this again, recently- did a bigger spray, lasted way longer. TOTALLY Charlie Red. Did they sell her the patent?

best bottle ever!!!!!

it lasts very long I spray it at 4pm and when the party's over about 9 or 10pm my friend said she can smell it very strong
love it

Ware are you people spraying this? I can smell this from Morning to night, I dont see how so many are saying it last less than a hour??? This Perfume is AMAZING!!! I bet "Cosmic Radiance" will be even better than this! The flankers usaly are.

Cerious = Cerious In Controal
Fantasy = Midnight Fantasy
Radiance = Cosmic Radiance

the lasting power is too dissappointing!

i was dreaming of testing this one,the bottle is so attractive and fantastic... and when i do, i just liked the top notes, it's not like fantasy or midnight, i couldnt find something sweet unless the top fruits, and also it's not long lasting, it's just dissappear after 1 hour or so!

its a vary girly & beautiful smell but to light of a scent doesnt last on skin for even a whole hour its not really like a eau de parfum but like a body mist, to over priced for the lasting power

Its a nice fruity/floral. To me its more on the Floral side not so much on the Fruity but fruity is definitely there. The dry down is nice, that's when i get a little coconut from it. i have said nice quite alot and that's what it is just nice. nothing that special. A good everyday scent to wear to the supermarket or when you are having a stay at home day.

I like it but once you compare this scent with another real one, you can see the gaps. It smells cheap and fake but with no comparison it smells sweet, fruity, very girly and like a good time. A scent that you can enjoy but can be overbearing, not one my favorites but buying a smaller version of this and using it every now and then would be acceptable.
:)

I like this scent, to me smells a little like strawberry and creamy vanilla ice cream, the lasting power is good also, and I also must say that for this one the bottle is very pretty:)

Sweet ..nothing new. I smell only red berries and some mix of flower..i expected a perfume more sensual and adult...very synthetic.

Sweet ..nothing new. I smell only red berries and some mix of flower..i expected a perfume more sensual and adult...very synthetic.

smells cheap and alot like alcohol. not the scent i was looking for.
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!

I liked it from the first sniff and bought it at once. Now I still like it and use quite often. However, later my impression of the scent has changed a bit - now I like the beginning less, but later on when the scent opens - it becomes really nice. I think, it is perfect for summer or spring. The scent is light and nonintrusive in a good way.

I love this one! My sister had it and I adored it!! Beautiful bottle also!

I like this, is like mixing Viva La Juicy and Tease By PH, at first is really juicy, red fruits, then it become more flora, i can get the tuberose,the lasting power is nice, like 6 hours.

The bottle is very cute...

;)

the opening is strange, hate it..but the drydown is really great, I can smell the coconut there.

I tested this today and thought it smelt ok but nowwhere near as good as her original perfumes

A wonderful scent, It is pleasant not all in you're face like most. Its nice and sweet with a mixture of berries and flowers with some sugar. I think it is a casual fragrance everyday use. It makes you feel pretty whenever you put it on or at least thats what my chemistry perimits. It smells amazing on me and people love it so for me it a must. It is worh a try so go ahead and sniff what do you have to lose?

I just bought this perfume and i really, realyy love it... for me, it is worth buying it.. =)

tacky bottle, and ridiculously terrible ad. i laughed at loud. as for the perfume- it's fine, i might be a bit biased because celebrity fragrances in general (and britney spears' in particular) annoy me, but i don't think it's anything special. bit of citrus, lots of berries, easily headache inducing. i'll pass.

Radiance is a sweet floral with white notes. There is nothing unique or overly special about Radiance, and it does not scream, "I'M HERE!" like so many other perfumes. It is simply feminine, delicate and pretty. I like to wear it to school because it doesn't bother the people sitting around me during lectures. Radiance is more sophisticated than the Fantasy line, while still remaining youthful. My only gripe is the bottle - the colours of the jewels are cute, but it looks a bit cheap.

But I just have to mention - how hilarious is the ad for Radiance? Who comes up with these things?

It's so beautiful this bottle!

I think I am in trouble. I have over 60 bottles of perfumes. Every celeb is making one scent after the other. The truth is that perfumes sell faster than cd's today. If you buy one it is equally as good as good as buying 3 albums ( YES YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT IT ). However, can you place a price on the satisfaction you get after spraying a perfume you like? I really like Radiance it reminds me of GIVENCHY AMARIGE.

this perfume is beautiful! i sampled it today at wal-mart and loooved it! it's bad enough i already have too much perfume, but now i may have to buy this. I agree w/ a previous review; this is a more mature perfume, but not old lady-ish, just less fruity and more florally and refined. a must buy!

first of all i love the scent and bottle. but the down side lack of lasting power. i think its worth trying it out :)

This scent is very strong and old smelling. It also reminds me of a floral air freshener scent. Actually, come to think of it this smells like potpourri. Yuck!

Britney's most mature perfume:
It is as if this mature woman is wearing a white summer dress running barefoot in fields of plastic flowers while chewing her sweet bubblegum. Her dress gets stuck to one of the flowers and she picks it up and bites it. Later she discovers that all the plastic flowers in this field are actually edible candy with flavors of jasmine, rose, and such plants. The bubblegum's flavor vanishes so she spits it out and decides to spend the rest of her day taking a nap between these edible plastic flowers, not forgetting to apply her sweet face and body powder.



Note: This imagery description is to help you visualize the scent better.

Something in this remind me of circus fantasy, don't know why =)

Beautiful bottle! About the juice.. it's kinda similiar to something, but i can't remember what it is.. the smell is so gourmand, sweet n more flowery than fruity. Nice, but Curious still better.

Sweet,deep, woody orange-ish smell combined with jasmine, sparkles and brings the beginning of Radiance. Somewhat it’s like a copycat of Juicy Couture’s original perfume with all the big, loud, tart sweetness delivered by a medium of sweetened heady jasmine.

Then it smells more tamed, warm and a little bit generic like a lot of perfumes launched recently—with a little bit sweet citrusy hint, white flower harshness(at least it’s harsh to me since I’m not a fan of white flowers) plus something smells ‘sparkling’ (and synthetic to some).

The dry down is just slightly quieter, but wish-wash, just like a lot of celebrity perfumes (well, typically Britney’s, I’m thinking about the Fantasy series), which doesn’t really have a dry-down that has personality, instead, the dry down here is just like a tired, dirty, zoomed-out lazy extension of the mid phase.

Promising name, that’s it; what’s more, the real life bottle is quite tacky.
If you generally don’t like Britney’s perfume, or something too typically 2010ish girly sparkling, skip this one, you won’t miss out anything.

My friend has this perfume and i think it smells amazing on her it's a really nice scent that gives a good reminder of the Winter season it's amazing :D xoxo

i just got this today and its smells nice but i like perfuems to be stronger smelling to me this just wasnt that strong so its up for swap..

I bought this, I do not typically like any of her perfumes.. Oh.. well I do have Curious, or whether I did - I think I gave that away (I'd have to check, I have a lot of perfumes - if I have it still I never wear it though & I didn't buy it).. Normally I do not like them as they are waaaay too sickeningly sweet. Just not a fan.

Anyways I was running around and I thought the bottle actually looked fun, yes a bit tacky - but still really girly & fun nonetheless.. I thought what the heck I will spray it and see how this one smells & if it is crazy sweet like most of her others.. Surprisingly I liked it. It's not my favorite & honestly it is probably the tuberose which is why I bought it.

I came home sprayed it again and realized what it smelled like - Juicy Couture by Juicy Couture which I also own..

It really isn't bad, it doesn't smell "cheap" But it isn't going to be niche if that is what people are looking for, c'mon now.. but seriously what it does smell like to my nose is Juicy Couture by Juicy Couture - their original.

I wonder which will last longer on my skin? I will probably end up giving this away to be honest - but I like it, it's ok. Not what I thought it would be.. & the only one I have actually purchased myself.

Beautiful, Delightful, Happy, Sweet, Yummy!!!! I'm technically way too old to be wearing Britney's perfumes (being 44 and all) but tuff bananas, I love this stuff, it makes me feel happy and I shall wear it proudly. On me I get lots of fruit and jasmine, it dries down to lighter fruit, a bit less but still noticable jasmine and a bit of vanilla and light musk. It's a very light perfume and only lasts about 3-4 hours on me. I think this would be a very nonoffensive scent for work and I would consider it a daytime scent. All in all a very nice perfume I adore it! :0)

Disgusting! At first it was quite clean and pleasant, but it quickly morphed into something I couldn't wait to wash off. This is nothing like Curious! Curious is a young woman on a warm summer night, walking through a garden, passionately in love. Radience is waking up on a frigid winter morning with nothing but rotten vegetables in the kitchen.

Hubby actually complimented me on my perfume which he hasnt done in 3 years! I love the way it mixes with my body scent as well. For me it ends up being a sweet smell with a comforting undertone, not cupcake smelling like Fantasy (although, also a great scent!)

Ive found my signature scent!

nice fruity tuberose,but after 10 minutes it is gone

The best Britney scent ever released! Not unique in any way, but floral and pretty, the musky undertone takes the white flowers down to earth and makes this very appealing in total. A great scent to wear if you just want something nice that doesn't make people say "WHAT are you WEARING?!"

Upon the first spray you get these lovely fresh berries but unfortunately it goes downhill from there. The tuberose is far too strong and it takes over the whole perfume, the lovely berries disappear and your left with this bitter flower smell. Such a shame as the berries are so nice.

Having seen the notes that are supposedly in this I can't say I get any of them except the berries. Its very fruity, too fruity, and it made my nose sting.
And the bottle is very cheap and nasty looking. I know many people absolutely love this, but its not for me.

No good perfume, smells cheap, but bottle is fine.

could not believe my eyes when i saw this fragrance on the perfume counter... upon seeing it i made up my mid that i will for sure get this one... However when i sprayed it on my wrist i was so disappointed ... the only note i got was grapefruit! it smelled like something that i could buy from body shop... but i decided to let the fragrance dry down.. but it dint change at all.. and the lasting power on my skin was like 1 and a half hours tops.... its a shame because the bottle was so pretty ... but ill probably go back and try this one again...

I jsut got this one recently at walmart yesterday for a cheap price than what it was @ elder berman i like it alot and the bottle is really pretty but midnight fantasy is by far her best fragrance of all time!!!!!!

SERIOUSLY BRITNEY MAKE A DIFFERENT TYPE PERFUME THIS SMELLS LIKE CURIOUS THE ONLY THING THATS DIFFERENT IS THE BOTTLE HOW BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAKE SOMETHING DIFFERENT NEXT TIME NOT JUST A DIFFERENT BOTTLE

I tried this today not expecting much at all. However, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. This perfume is light, transparent with an aquatic feet to it, and quite pleasant. I think the name suits this perfum a lot as it truly reflects its nature. I do find it quite radiant. It is light and warm at the same time, but not heavy in any way - perfect for a hot summer day.

It reminds me quite bit of Forever (Mariah Carey). I don't get much berries, it is more apple I smell in the beginning (just like Forever).

Although I wouldn't buy this perfume as I think there are other ones that are much better, I have to say that I like it.

First off, This perfume reminds me alot of Britney Curious, which is why I brought it. I used to buy curious but I noticed a dramatic change in the scent, which made me go out and look for something else. This perfume has a lovely long lasting floral cent, with a hint of berries. It lasts a good few hours, and is a nice every day perfume.

This is such a gorgeous fragrence, its one of my faves!
I can smell wild berries and a very sophisticated fresh clean blast of tuberose and iris. The bottle is AMAZING, its no way tacky and the gems are fixed to the bottle, Love it. x

I think is smells really pretty... in fact I'm wearing it right now. It's staying power sucks though :( It's fruity and delicious without being over-powering. The bottle is sooo pretty too!

Because it doesn't last long, I like to just spray it on myself after I hop out of the shower, so when I go to bed I smell pretty, but it's not so strong enough to keep me awake. I also like to spray my clothes in my closet with this so that maybe the smell will linger longer when I wear it.

Overall, the word PRETTY decribes this fragrance. It's like a pretty girl... easy on the eyes (in this case nose), not the most beautiful thing you've ever seen (smellled), and not absolutely sexy. It's also not ugly and repulsive. Just... pretty.

This is her absolute best fragrance! I just Got It In The Mail Today, And Am Sooooooooo Happy!! I have found my new signature!! this is wonderful keep it up britney!

if the "destiny" smeels like that, it's a disaster. All we have to do is to pray : Brit, please don't do it again. And again..and again...

I love all the Britney spears perfumes, so i just had to know what this smeled like, i also really adore the beutifull bottle!
The smell itself is gorgeous, the berries are really distinctive on my skin and i think its a great perfume! x

Got this totally because of the gemmed colorful bottle. This is definitive a sweet floral smell. Biggest floral I get is rose. It's really refreshing. A great every day perfume. Smells really good on me. The biggest disappointment is that it don't have staying power. After an hour it is gone. I spray and spray, still it fades away too quickly.

It's interesting to read the reviews about how many not liking it. Chemistry are different for everybody. I suggest you try this on and find out if it fits you before you buy it.

I can't imagine anybody liking this scent in the slightest - but then I still find it hard to comprehend that there are actually people out there who buy and enjoy wearing Believe and Curious.
Maybe it's just my chemistry, but these three fragrances absolutely stink on me - Radiance was so horrible I had to find a bathroom to wash the smell off!

I can attest that the sillage is impressive, given the amount of soap I used to wash my wrist and the fact that I could still get a strong whiff hours later after using antibacterial and odour-eliminating handwash. That's about all the good things I have to say about Radiance, much as it pains me to do so (being a big Britney fan and proud owner of Midnight Fantasy and Hidden Fantasy!).

I can't even describe the notes - it was far too overwhelming and nausea-inducing for me to get any closer to identifying individual qualities. Again, it's probably just my chemistry as I never got the big deal about Believe and Curious, but I have to say that if I never smell Radiance again for as long as I live, I might die happy.
Sorry Britney. I hope the rest of you have better luck with this one. To describe it as a 'disappointment' doesn't even come close. :(

a vague transparent smell I couldn't smell anything just like My Glow idk I think some companies putting out too many frags they need to take more time and get it right.

I like this! Myer gave me a sample vial for my girlfriend and we both think it's quite nice.
Pretty similar to Curious, though a lil more candyish and sweet, not as musky.
Im not surprised it's Britney, lol.

Try it now before Arden goes and fucks it up by spiking it with acid >-[

I really like this fragrance! I have a few other fragrances by her and this one is my favorite.

Just got this fragrance today, and I am kindah dissapointed, even thou I like the begining, I dont like its drydown so much. It has no sillage - not even one percent. I just sprayed it & can't even smell it myselv. It stays extremely close to skin. And just lasts for 1 hours.
Don't get it guys, unless you want something extremely close to your skin.

Much to my dismay, this one didn't work for me. The tuberose note was so pronounced and buttery (in a foody way) that it was nauseating. I don't want to smell like butter and flowers. I'm assuming this was just a trick of my chemistry, because it doesn't look like other people had this experience!

I wanted to try something new today, So I layered this perfume with Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy and it smells AMAZING! I kid you not! Try it and let me know what you think, It smells SO Wonderful!!! mmmm

Never have I had a fragrance make me feel more alive and confident!! I make no jokes when I say I was exhausted yesterday morning and I needed something to feel less sluggish, I sprayed this on and I instantly felt awake, alert, and confident.

It takes me a little while to actually like a fragrance so I will admit I didn't like this at first but it grew on me and it is truly a RADIANT scent. This perfume will definitely boost your mood and spirits. Love the berry notes and the African Orange flower <-- which probably had something to do with feeling more alert??? .. I am very pleased with this.

i dont like that freagrance at all it smells like a candybar in a plasticcup its just so weird

I tried this perfume yesterday. It's a nice fresh floral scent. I smell mostly tuberose & musk. There is no vanilla, nor sweetness in it. This is a very well done perfume, if it's not the name, I would think it is from Estee Lauder's line of perfumes.

i just bought this one and I love this perfume! I don't like britney's perfumes. they're all very sweet. i generally don't like sweet smelling perfumes. but this one i like. when i first spray it, it just smells like you just squeezed giant, juicy cherries. though it is not too sweet, i guess because the white florals balance it out. my boyfriend likes this too. he's very particular with perfumes, so to me, his opinion matters. i have about 10 bottles of perfumes and he only likes one so far..anna sui secret wish. with radiance, he says that i smell like yummy cherries and it makes him want to eat me cuz i smell so yummy. lol i guess thats a good thing.

Sweet...fruity...girly...flirty...In my opinion is the perfect scent to wake up in the morning...spray your scarve and go...and when you smell it all over, you fell happy...just bright and fun scent...

And yeahhh is similar to viva la juicy but outhere so many perfumes are similar to some others,not a big deal for me...

Tried it at Kohls the other day. It's a nice white floral with lots of citrus in the opening notes, it must be the african orange flower since no other citrus note is listed. This is a sophisticated scent more in the same scent category as curious. It's really loud when you first spray it and could give you headache if you over spray. The staying power was good! This is purely a floral perfume! The bottle I didn't care for as it looked cheap. Great for Spring and summer!

I'm falling for radiance despite myself..have tried it twice and keep on attributing its scent to something else! Yes it does open terrifically sweet and still has a bit of cotton candy in it..but it's outlasting the much more prestigious fumes I tried alongside of it. It's basically a clean, sweet musk now, incredibly pleasant and feminine. Suggest trying it on the skin first; seems to just agree with my chemistry for whatever reason! Time to suck it up and get over my snobbery!

The name give me a hint that Britney Spears perfume has grow up. She might left her 'imaginary' world with previous fantasy, circus, curious, bla bla bla... Radiance sound more matured and elegance. But, is the perfume match the name????
As for me, yes. This perfume smell different from the other perfume she made. This is more floral, less fruity and matured. If you say this perfume is cheap, think again. Whether u never try an expensive perfume, or u just don't know how expensive perfume smell like...
Once I smell it, the first thing came across is sweet and nice. Then I realize I have this kinda smell - a very expensive one - it similar to CHANEL BEIGE FROM LES EXCLUSIF COLLECTION priced at USD$210 for 6.8oz. Now, do you still think it smell cheap???
However, the different here, Beige got frangipani, but Britney has no frangipani but I can smells frangipani in this perfume. Radiance also lack of long lasting and it just last for 3-4 hours only. And guess what, after 2 hours, the smell is bit different and less like Chanel Beige. Quite pleasant.
The bottle look tacky, but I don't judge by bottle. By the way, people don't see how your perfume bottle look like, but they can smell them... Overall, a good try Britney, but not really what I like, so I never gonna buy it.

Smelt this yesterday and instantly fell in love,I wasnt suprised since I have all of Britneys perfumes excluding one. All I can say is if your a fan of Britneys perfumes your bound to love this one. Just as beautiful as her others, I will admit though I didnt find it as sweet as,say Fantasy or Midnight Fantasy none the less its just beautiful. Only negative is the lasting power isnt all that fantastic but the bottle and smell make up for it.

i have not tried this yet :) seems like a beautiful bottle deffo buy myself some if it comes in stores.

This is a really nice perfume, It has such a nice, youthful and femme scent. I don't really like florals usually, but this is a must have! <3

I was really looking forward to this! Lovely bottle and packaging, really nice promo.. Unfortunately this is a flat, boring fruity floral.. I will say that I agree with the reviewers below that strike a semblance between this and JC VLJ - its very much like VLJ on me (strikingly similar in fact) and I'm not really a fan of JC either... a pretty little smell that in its own right makes for something wearable I guess for everyday, but there is nothing unique about it or even stand alone - its a rather common scent and it wont rival all the other boring fruity florals on the market currently. I love most of Britney's other perfumes, but this one wont make it to my rotation.

I think that it just smells so cheap. I was very disappointed when I sprayed it on my wrist. I expected a lot more.
I can imagine a 13 year old girl wearing this perfume, defenitely not for a mature woman. Yeah, just very disappointed.

I was looking forward to Radiance being available in my country and finally it's here. Oh my god, it's amazing. Althought it is not very original it doesn't make me love it less. I think this the best comforting scent out there. It's warm and sweet, both just about the right amount.
It's more sophisticated than most of her previous perfumes. It's not for teenagers but seems to be for women who already know what they want.
It can be compared with Curious. If Curious is a bit lighter and more for daytime, Radiance is more for night-time because of the floras which seem to be heavier. They both have my favorite jasmine. In Curious it is more dominant but in Radiance it blends in with the base notes.
It's actually sweeter than I excpected it to be. I was hoping it would be more fresh. But just the way it is, it's best for a cold time to wear. Inside and outside - it fits with snow and and with festive parties at winter time.
I love Radiance. It's one of Britney's best creations. It's enchanting and radiant.

I walked around it and sprayed it on a few times before I actually decided to buy it. I constantly sniffed my wrist on the way home. For me it's very warm and if it's sweet, it's more of a flowery than foody sweetness this time. A bit like Flowerbomb's sweetness, not that I would seriously compare those two. Can't find resemblance to Viva la Juicy which I dislike. For me this is the perfect Autumn scent, juicy but warm. I would have filled it in a reddishviolet bottle ;)

I understand what Princess is saying. Sure, Britney doesn't do the. Mixing but neither does Versace, Tom Ford or anyone else who has their name on a box of perfume. BTW, Elizabeth Taylor is the biggest perfume selling celeb selling over a billion with just White Diamonds :)

I saw it today at MYER And thot dat this one might be more mature than her previous childish Perfumes such as circus, fantasy.... All of 'em anyway coz on th box she appeals as mature woman n i thot i would go with th Perfume..... BUT, DAMN!! Wath a disapointment.. I tho i was smelling one of thoz teens hair sprays!!! YIiiWw.. I wonder when BS Will grow up n b a réal n mature woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No offence for her teen fans x!

this smell very berry nice
there is something about britneys perfumes they all smell beautiful but they lack in one thing
lasting power
otherwise it is a very nice scent

I intended buying this today at elder berman when I tested it, I love it! The red berries are the first hting I picked up and I'm planning on getting this one later 9on for chirstmas if I don't already ahve it then =)

I just got a free sample of this in the mail. I sprayed it on and now I smell like a smoker wearing a cheap perfume. And I'm not a smoker. Absolutely revolting.

squallie and squall love britney spears parfum called radiance

I can describe this fragrance in three words:

sugar, sugar, and cotton candy

...

Which are not at all bad things, just not what I'm looking for in a perfume.

The weird thing is that this is supposed to be 'grown up Britney', but it's the most sweet and innocent...

Ladies, wear this and you can seduce any teenage boy you want :D

I always approach any scent by Britney Spears with a sense of eagerness and trepidation. I loved many of her earlier fragrances, however more recent releases like Hidden Fantasy and Circus Fantasy failed to interest me.

Radiance is pleasant to say the least. I am a mixture of disappointment and relief upon smelling this for the first time today.

At first, Radiance opened with sharp fruits, resembling stale sweat. I was quite horrified, ready to claim this fragrance as the worst from her yet. Thankfully, Radiance settled into something much more likable.

I find it very similar to Circus Fantasy, just not as musky and less sweet. The tuberose comes through quite strongly, having a somewhat buttery quality.

The scent is smooth, feminine and pretty. It's nothing outstanding or particularly unique, however I find myself enchanted by its scent. It would make a lovely white floral choice for Spring and Summer.

I once owned and loved Curious a few years ago, which I found to be more jasmine and vanilla based. For those that adore Curious, they may also enjoy Radiance.

The lasting strength was pretty average, only lasting six hours on my skin, no more. However I don't see any harm in re-applying during the day. My only gripe with this fragrance is the possibility that it could become a little sticky and cloying in humid weather.

At first you get a strong burst of fruits, like in the other creations, but when it settles down it is very calm,sophisticated and flowery. I really like the tuberose. A very nice fragrance. Please continue on this road Britney!

I smelt Radiance today, with not too many expectations and was pleasantly surprised.It was soooo nice! Smelt like juicy raspberries and musk, which was such a nice combination.

This perfume is Amazing! It smells NOTHING like Cerious so I don't get why people are comparing it to that? Maybe just beacuse they are both from Britney Spears? Maybe beacuse both bottles use Blue and Pink? To me that is silly, if this perfume was from someone else I'm sure no one would say it is even close beacuse it's not! It is really hard for me to sit and tell you what it smells like, I will just say it is Wonderful,amazing,Fab and Super Sexy! The bottle is also Stunning! Not tacky at all like it looks in some pics, the "stones"or "Gems" are carved right onto the bottle nothing is cheap looking or glued on like it may look in pics.This is a Heavy and Stunning looking Bottle! This is one of my Favorite perfume bottles ever! I think it was time Britney had a taller bottle in her collection, it looks amazing when surounded by her other short bottles.(But PLEASE keep them Fat little bottles of Fantasy rolling out!I Love that line too!) out of 5 I give this perfume a 5+! You did good Mrs. Spears, you did really good! :) xoxoxoxxo

i like this but it isnt long lasting and it smells like outrageous by kerry katona and i like britneys perfumes but they aint that long lasting!

The opening smells like Sarah jessica parkers Pure Bloom. Very very strong in the beginning. But when it setteled down for a while, it gets milder. It's a mix og pure bloom & curious. I like! This is more a spring/summer fragrance, so its weird that they realeased it now. Britney Spears is now a grown woman. I would like a more grown up fragrance, something totally differant. A sophisticated bottle and a warm, oriental fragrance.

This isn't a bad fragrance, but it is similar in style to Circus Fantasy & Curious. It's much cleaner, almost melon like, compared to my favorites in her line In Control Curious & Fantasy which have more of a berry/fruity feel.
Nice, but it doesn't break away from her other scents into uncharted territory.

i dont know why so many people are dissapointed by this perfume, it actually smells really good! i agree with mochahantas-i would have LOVED it if it was more similar to fantasy with the cupcake and cotton candy sugary sweet type scent but im still happy with how it smells. people are comparing this to curious but it smells waaaaaaay better than curious to me. the bottle is pretty but not as pretty as in the pics and on the commercial-it doesnt sparkle like that. all in all, this is not britneys best, but it is a nice scent.

Very disappointed with this one. It was nothing special, did not have the lasting power that hers usually does and was just plain blah.

A heady floral that smells very nice and rich.

Well, I am sorry to say that this is my least favorite BS fragrance. Sure many think that the majority of her fragrances are juvenile and too sweet but they do have some character. With Radiance I was completely and utterly bored. It opens very gently with some berries that are incredibly faint and then later a it dries down and sweetens up(randomly) with an annoyingly fruity and artificial Jasmine note. This also doesn't last very well and I just don't like it. I am hoping they come out with a darker Fantasy. LOL! Maybe Velvet Fantasy or something along those lines... something with dark fruits, musk, woods...edgier...perhaps? ;')

Just tested this today and well, I was kinda expecting a lil more, I don't know..maybe i expected it to be more sweet or more bold to really exude radiance just like the name, I dunno but to me it smells just like Curious with a bit of Circus Fantasy thrown in!

Love love love the glitzy bottle! The fragrance however, is as expected; cute, sugary, floral and fading fast to a mere memory.

I finally found Radiance today! It's fine. I don't hate it at all but I don't love it at all either. It's a nice white floral musk with sweet berries woven into it. It is nothing like her Fantasy line and is more along the lines of Curious. It is probably her most sophisticated fragrance. I agree 100% with APassionateJourney. It smells like Pure Orchid and Pure Bloom. Those two aren't favorites of mine so it was no surprise to me that I didn't LOVE Radiance. The bottle is great fun though and I enjoyed holding it. I'd get it just for the fun bottle. I hope others love it so we can get more and more scents from our Britney. Do try it when you see it. I would love to know what others think of it. Can't wait for what's next from the Britney line. Oh and the lasting power is pretty good too. Nothing like Fantasys astounding lasting power but still pretty good. : )

This is definitely Britney Spears' best fragrance. This is a fragrance that has the most depth and character out of all of her other ones. Spraying it on my right arm it started off really fruity and 2 minutes later I started smelling the tuberose. It kinda reminded me of Pure Orchid by Halle Berry in the top stages. Then, a sweetened up Tuberose. After about 5 minutes of that it turns into Covet Pure Bloom by Sarah Jessica Parker. I guess that's the final stages because it's been like that for the last 10 minutes. My girl sent me her bottle so I will be buying mines whenever I can find it! Good job, Britney

This is light like curious-to me its a dash of viva la juicy with some bubblicious gonzo grape bubblegum! Britney did it again =). a perfect perfume for a girly girl. sweet like candy but fresh at the same time. The bottle is gorgeous it definately is radiant. one of the best perfume bottles ive seen.im Happy to add it to my collection! its a GORGEOUS scent that will definately be complimented over & over

i saw this one yesterday at the pharmacy.... i loved the bottle at first sight. heavy, with engraved rhinestones, it's a jewel. then when i went to smell it, all i could think of was candy! like cotton candy. i kept sniffing the card that i sprayed on, and immediately i was reminded of viva la juicy- perhaps that grape candy smell? anyways i picture it as a scent for girls in their teens and early 20s. i can't wait to try it on my skin!
just as other reviewers mentioned, i am surprised that such a light, fruity scent would be released in fall.

I tested this in this month's cosmo and thought, "this is a cute scent." To me radiance smells like the base notes in Viva la Jiucy mixed with Circus Fantasy. There are definitely some TART opening notes and smooth and creamy base notes. Radiance seems like a nice summer fragrance. Its nothing new, but its ok...I will write another review when I get to test this on my skin.

So, here it is, the new ultimate bubble-gum by Britney. [Just joking]

Radiance is very very girly and youthful perfume. I disagree that it's the big sister of Curious, at least not at the beginning.

I can't help, but notice that it reminds me of other fragrances, I'd agree on Pure Bloom. By character, Radiance is similar to Curious. Curious is my long time favourite fragrance, and it seems a bit more serious than Radiance, which is sweet and radiant with light and everything that not serious. Still, it doesn't beat Curious in my eyes. I quite like it tho,..

Especially how it 'matures' after ,like, 20 minutes. Starts to remind me of Lady Million, Chasse aux Papillons, and the cheap Blue Lady -.- Tho, not as good as Papillons, less intoxicating than Lady Million, more fruity. As most of Brit's fragrances it is done well. Even has a nice lasting power. I can't say it was too similar to Viva La Juicy. Maybe a bit.
P.S. decided that I like this SCENT :D
P.S. I do not like the ad. She looks weird in it like she's 40 or smth, face somehow ugly and not like her ¬¬ Scary ! Dx

I got this as well today. It smells *exactly* like Paris Hilton's 'Siren', which smells similar to 'Viva La Juicy'. I just got it home, but already I can tell that the lasting power is better than Siren or Viva La Juicy. The bottle was also a nice surprise. Initially, I wasn't sure what to expect... I thought that those 'rhinestones'(as what they are perceived to be) was going to be glued on, making the bottle look extremely cheap, but they're not. It appears they're just part of the bottle. So that's another thing in its favor. All in all, a nice, casual, daytime fragrance.

EDIT: I also have to add that this greatly resembles Christian Audigier for women. No need to get this one if you already have that one, unless you're a die-hard Britney fan, or in love with the fun, colourful bottle.

I just got mine from Elisabeth Arden.com today. Sadly, I was not too impressed. I really like all Britney Spears fragrance collection. Radiance is Curious' big sister. Nothing unique about it. It just doesnt stand out. This is not anything that you smell it and you have to stop and ask what it is. Don't get me even start with the packaging, the bottle looks like a disco light from the 70s but in the bad way.
Is this is a mature sent? yes. Elegant sent? No. Ordinary sent? Yes. Worth of buying? No.

ABOSLUTLEY AMAZING! Just like all of her other scents! She really is outstanding in this field!

This fragrance is just gorgeous, perfect for any age and the bottle is beautiful

- - - - - - - - - - - -
The fragrance
- - - - - - - - - - - -

I'd personally say that RADIANCE is way more fruity than floral, which is odd [but a relief] as I'm sensitive to both tuberose and musk - too much of either is usually a migraine trigger-puller. It's sweet on first application, but it's sweet in a fresh and zingy way. I can separate raspberry from the berry jumble, but am guessing when I suggest that the other note is red currant.

The initial fruity blast burns down with ten minutes, but some of the zesty sweetness lingers throughout the fragrance, so maybe they added berry notes in the heart and base of the fragrance too? The floral notes are light and the zingy berries make everything seem sparkly and fresh. The jasmine is the strongest floral on my skin, followed by the orange blossom. I could detect a hint of tuberose, but thankfully it's only brief and soon becomes lost under the jasmine.

The slight powdery note of the orange blossom lingers throughout the base too, but a sweeter scent (vanilla?) over takes it. The musk note is light and clean, so the sweetness has a hint of airiness to it. I usually find musky fragrances too heavy, but this seems 'watered' down.


- - - - - - - - - -
The bottle
- - - - - - - - - -

The blue and pink faux crystal bottle is extremely tacky - but in a fun way.

However; I think it's a miss-match to the juice inside; The fragrance is largely ageless, but the bottle is aimed firmly towards the under 20 consumer. A shame - they'll drastically reduced their prospective market.


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Other buying considerations
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The staying power is not very good, which isn't a big surprise considering this is a Britney brand, mass market release. It burns down in 3/4 hours - whilst that's not great for a EDP, it's not the worst out there.

The fruitiness makes this a good choice for daytime and the light florals mean you can safely wear it to work. I personally think it's too quiet for evening wear, but if you plan on hitting a packed club then the fragrance's lightness could be good for avoiding scent-induced headaches.

Being fruity and light I'd actually class this as being better suited to spring/summer. I think it's too zesty and fresh for autumn/winter and was surprised that Elizabeth Arden chose to release it in September.


- - - - - - -
Verdict
- - - - - - -

I'd describe RADIANCE as a blend of the fruity freshness of Believe and the surprisingly sophisticated white florals found in Curious - It's more adult then the Fantasy range, but the fruits provide a light sweetness, so the younger customers will still enjoy it.

I found it pleasant, but it doesn't appeal to me in this colder weather and it's not unique enough to buy. If I come across it on special offer I might be tempted to get a bottle for casual wear.

I think it would make a good gift choice as it's not a disagreeable fragrance and women of just about any age could wear it.

Ware is everyone finding this at? I have been to 2 Macy's,JC Penny's,Yonkers and Kohle's NO luck! I want to try this now! Thanks for any help :)

I also was surprised to see this in the shops, I like it alot. And the bottle is lovely and it looks better when you look at it up close and personal. I can definately smell the fruits and flowers,it is a very elegant perfume. And I also think it smells alot like Viva la juicy! Im looking forward to trying this one again!

To MOCHAHANTAS: Your review is very impressive! May I thank you for writing an excellent review for this fragrance. And I absolutely agree with you that this perfume is more feminine and mature. The bottle is the most beautiful fragrance bottle from Britney and I will definitely add this in my perfume collection. It's gorgeous!

Tested this today @ Sears, smells like a common fragrance, like something I have smelt before, nothing fancy, kinda melony,this is not a fragrance that stands out, not very original at all. Thumbs down. No time and thought were put into this fragrance. Also somehow they mad the bottle look like those crystal gems sparkle, but sadly they do not, they are plastic, and have a weird rough bumpy look to them, cheap looking. Not quite sure how the others who tested it and left comments can seem to say that this is a heavy bottle?? and that it looks just like it does in the picture, because it most definitely does NOT!!!! I would recommend this for a teenager. I have a feeling this will not be a good seller for Britney.

Contrary to other people's yearnings to have a more "sophisticated" scent from Brit, I actually would not have minded the "fruity teen" type scents. As a woman well in her 20s, I love Brit's fragrances because they are the epitome of what perfume means to *me*; they're fun, delectably yummy, and they make you feel vibrant, youthful and pretty (in my opinion). When I saw Radiance's notes, I was a little disappointed seeing how I am not a floral girl by any means. So I decided to skip buying it until I could sniff a bottle from the department store.

Today my inner-most desire to sniff Radiance was answered. My dept. store had this jewel on display. The bottle is very pretty, sparkly and heavy just as I like them. There was also something euphoric about how the texture of the jewels fell into my hands. I could rub that darn bottle all day :) Great bottle. On to the scent...

Radiance on my skin opened with a musky, orange floral arrangement. Within seconds it dried down to it's final scent (on my skin). Radiance gives my skin soft musk, with loads of orange and berries peaking through. There is some floral there, but it isn't very cloying as most florals tend to be. However, do not fret floral-loving ladies and gents, this is not a "fruity" or "juicy" scent even though my description makes it seem as such. It IS sweet, but not an edible sweet. It's just very enjoyable, which is surprising to a girl like me that despises floral. It's very soft and feminine and I can see ALL ages enjoying this. It's def. not like any of the Fantasy lines and it's much more feminine and mature than Curious.

I may get shafted from Fragrantica for saying this, but this scent is EXTREMELY close to Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy (VLJ). If you like VLJ, then you will be sure to like Radiance. I literally have VLJ on one hand and Radiance on the other and to an untrained nose, these could be mistaken for one another. Of course the VLJ is much more boisterous in it's presentation due to the gardenia in it. VLJ's orange spits at you as super sweet due to it's caramel and praline, unlike the more softer orange in Radiance. So, in my long-winded opinion, if you have VLJ you may not want to put this at the top of your Want List (until you sniff it out first).

Sillage? It seems to be average. I only have it on my hand so I cannot really give it a fair assessment.

Lasting Power? I've had it on for a couple of hours and it's still going strong. I've also washed my hands twice and it's still there standing strong! I *think* this one will have no problem lasting unlike it's counterpart Curious/In Control Curious.

Will I purchase? Absolutely! Do I recommend? Absolutely if you're the type of person who can enjoy a sweeter, feminine type of floral then this is for you.

I was surprised to see this one at the local fragrance department today since it isn't scheduled to be released until later in september, but ecstatic nonetheless! I really like radiance. Its one of britney's best perfumes. The bottle is just as gorgeous as it appears in the picture.

The scent is, quite simply, radiant. Its a gorgeous fruity floral that is quite juicy and sweet but in a fresh sort of way. Its nice to have a break from the sugar bombs that the Fantasy collection throws at us. Radiance is far more fresh and not as candy like. It sort of reminds me of a confident, more grown up Curious. It projects more and has a more glamorous feel to it. The bottle capture the scent nicely.

The scent actually reminds me of Covet Pure Bloom by Sarah Jessica Parker (the purple one). So if you liked that one then you will love Radiance. I'll definitely be adding this one to my Britney collection.

Good job Bitty! Love you and your frags!

I thought of an elegant flanker of this...

"Divine Radiance"... and the color would be crystal gold and crystal clear rhinestones.

Well suited for more mature, elegant and stunning women...like a diva walking in the red carpet...

What you guys think? and what do you think other best flanker names for Radiance? and what rhinestones color?
