This is not a bad smell,very good and sweet, but not in a cheap celebrity fragrance way.It smells sweet but expensive and not childish.

Sweet and yummy. This is wonderful, youthful, but in a sexy sweet way. I don't have a bottle of it yet but have used it and I love the way it smells on me. But being almost 40 I am wondering if it may be a little young for me.

Her new one Fancy Love should be coming out soon. It is gonna be even greater than this one, but the bottle is much more bland. Plain white with a gold lid...not fascinating at all

This is a lovely scent that skips around between sweet, tart, and floral. It's the extra bit of tartness that makes it wearable for me and sets it apart from other sweet scents like Princess and Pink Sugar. The bottle is gorgeous, to boot. I think the red berries are responsible for the tart accord and though I don't really smell the caramel or the white florals, the vanilla and amber stand out the most and are blended well with the fruit in the top notes. I have a sample that I've worn a couple of times but I haven't decided on a full bottle, yet. I just don't think it's special or interesting enough to for me to own, at the moment.

Jessica will be releasing her new fragrance in July called Fancy Love. Its notes are goji leaf, peach blossom, bergamot, blush champagne, lotus blossom, peony, plumeria, jasmine, rose, creamy amber, blonde woods, musk and patchouli. After really liking the original Fancy i have high hopes for Fancy Love! The bottle is in the same shape of the original Fancy bottle but done up in white and gold. It looks really pretty!

Smells like cupcakes! Very yummy. In fact, it should be called "Yummy" instead of "Fancy" because I almost want to eat it.
I'm not sure if a perfume that smells like a food is really worth buying though.

Was so sure i'd like it even though i thought it would be too sweet for me. It's not that sweet, not in the vanille-way that i thought at least. Didn't like it, to fruity and simple scent.
05/08/09 23:16:53
Today I sprayed it on a card & brought it home. It was very pleasant at 1st sniff & is still very nice 5 hrs later.
I'll test it on my skin soon & come back with more of a review.

Actually smells very nice- too sweet for me and a bit more like a caramal, vanilla dessert than a perfume, but nice. Pretty much what you'd expect Jessica Simpson to smell like. And the bottle is very pretty!
05/04/09 16:52:32
I miss my 3.4 oz Fancy bottle sooooo freakin' much! I'm pretty sure I'll be getting this again soon.
04/19/09 18:13:42
I tried this fragrance last week without a great feeling but I was very surprise by it. Fancy is a very beautiful perfume to feel sexy and young. It smell like perfume I called ''Rose'' but is scent go away of ordinary ''Rose'' perfume...Light scent of flower give some sophistication to caramel and vanilla scent. Very long lasting. I love it!
04/19/09 12:46:40
I love this scent.
On me, the top notes are kind of synthetic, but after about 15 minutes that fades away and it's all caramel and almond. The caramel is sweet and candy-like and the almond provides a subtle warmth. The dry down is my favorite part - probably because I'm a huge sandalwood and vanilla fan.
It's sweet and flirty, so it's great to wear on a casual date (like going out for coffee.) I wouldn't wear it to the office, as it comes across as too girly (read: immature) in my opinion, and for this same reason I would choose something more mature for a fancy night out.

I adore Miss Simpson as a celebrity she shows that you don't have to be super skinny in order to be pretty :). Anyways her scent his a very nice allthough the vanillia sometimes gets abit over powering it's still an OK scent but nothing that I would by.
04/18/09 09:15:59
I really like this sweet, creamy , soft, candy smell. Though It drys down with a lot of amber on me. Smells alot like Amber Romance to me more than Britneys...
04/04/09 19:33:20
this perfume smells lovely...in small doses. It smells like liquid candy. My friend wears this fragrance and it clings to everything she touches. She must be putting too much. Personally i wouldnt buy a whole bottle.
03/30/09 07:31:25
It's got many facets. Vanilla and ambery sweet, but not intense. It's wearable, I'd compare to Betsey Johnson or the new Viva la Juicy. Each is different but in the same genre. They are pretty close scents. At first spritz it's edible and delicious with apricots, then it morphs into the feminine florals which are never heavy. The dry down is pure vanilla caramel with amber for depth. I have Betsey, but it's not as fresh as this and has more musk while Fancy has none. I find it very wearable and a good gourmand. My boyfriend likes it alot.

I´ve got Fancy in a swap and I planned to give it to my youngest daughter (11 years old). Well, I did, but I´m kind of regret it, cause Fancy is incredible yummi! Sweet? Oh, yes but not in that thick syrup way. Vanilly? Yes, definitly a soft, tender and caressing vanilla. Cupcakes? That too, and they´re so good, must be some secret ingredient. Fudgy caramell? Oh yeah, whatever good there is, you find it in Fancy.
I find many celeb fragrances marketed toward a young audience boring, immature and overly sweet. Fancy manage to smell just enough and that´s kind of tricky whit that kind of notes! It´s youthful without being childish, sweet but still light and easy.
I guess I will steal some drops from my daughters sample now and then. Worth a try if you like cuddly gourmands.

I miss Fancy. I took it back and now I want it again :(. If I can find it for cheap I'll get it again
03/25/09 00:46:12
It truly smells like a bakery...but it's not for me..
03/24/09 12:48:06
just bought last night at macy's and still trying to come to a conclusion whether i'm keeping it or not..im testing the sample and so far i have to say i am admiring the vanilla cupcake scent when my hair moves ;0)
03/24/09 10:07:08
this fragrance smells like a warm vanilla cupcake right out of the oven
its sooo creamy and heavenly i love it i bought it as soon as i smelled it

Fancy is really nothing special, it's kinda nice and girlish yet quite ordinary at the same time. Reminds me of many other perfumes that already have made it bigger and better, so why bother to buy a 'replica' when you can get the real stuff..??
03/13/09 22:59:25
Delightful bottle, but the juice is nothing special, it is so much like a million of the other perfumes.
If I was a 13 year old, I would probably die for a bottle like this.

It's like a toned down version of fantasy/pink sugar. Kind of sickening
03/07/09 14:06:20
I'm not a big Jessica Simpson fan, but I really like this scent. For me, the almonds and warmth come out after a few minutes, and really stay with you. And I LOVE almond. There's something warm and comforting about it.
Sometimes I put this on before I go to bed, and I can smell it all night long, and still in the morning. So it has nice lasting power on me.

Credit where credits due; FANCY is fun & it brings forth happy childhood memories. If you’ve ever tested her DESERT BEAUTY range, you’ll know how big of an improvement she’s made.
However, FANCY isn’t anywhere near original; the caramel and berries are very reminiscent to PINK SUGAR, especially when coupled with the foody base notes. The top notes are also too sweet, it borders on sickly on me. The light florals in the heart of the fragrance calm it down, so I could tolerate it.
I can't see myself re-buying FANCY; there are so many alternatives already on the market, that aren't borderline sickly on me.

coffee or toffee and marshmallows... hmm..it looks like this perfume is similat to Trussardi Inside...
01/24/09 15:45:11
This one reminds me of sitting in a garden drinking on a latte. I get a very soft smell of toasted almonds and creamy vanilla that reminds me of coffee or toffee and marshmallows. The flowers and fruit (mainly pear) are very subtle and sweet but mixes well creating a dreamy scent instead of being to sweet. The lasting power is pretty good and the bottle is adorable.
Update: This has to be tried on skin to get the full effect of this beautiful smell! Defin in my top 5 favorite perfumes if not my favorite gourmand. I don't care whos name is attached to the bottle. This perfume is almost perfect! It has a few similarities to Viva La Juicy but way better lasting power.

If you like sweet and yummy scents,like caramel or vanilla...you will love this one!!
01/17/09 22:55:45
I Really Like This One Is Very Yummy,I Just Love It (is my favorite).:)
01/14/09 16:11:28
I sampled this and I was shocked that I actually like it...smells so delicious!!
01/11/09 15:02:38
I am in love with Fancy! When I first got a sample back when it came out, I didn't really care either way about it... I even through my sample away! About a month ago I took a sniff at a fragrance counter and instantly fell in love. Fancy is a gourmand scent with top notes of apricot and pear. Fancy is sweet, but in a sophisticated way- the gardenia and jasmine really balance out the sweetness very nicely. The dry down is mainly caramel, almonds, and vanilla with some faint florals. I just purchased the gift set that comes with the 3.4 oz. perfume, 4 oz. of body lotion and shower gel, and a bonus 0.2 oz roll-on pen... all for $65. Fancy has quickly rose to the top of my list and I have been wearing it almost every day. Overall, I give Fancy an A. Good job Jessica~

I recieved a sample in the mail, and I love fruity florals.
I really like the Vanilla and the Jasmine. I must say that the Amber and Vanilla is what stands out the most in the end, and with my chemistry, I dont need alot. It rests on the pendulum of smelling like a cheap fragrance if not used with discretion, but used in just the right amounts, its a fun and flirty sweet fragrance perfect for winter!

I loved this at first. But the drydown started to smell strong and flat or cheap. I love Hanae Mori Butterfly its a much nicer version of what I thought this was. I put it back on the shelf before I got ready to check out.
11/29/08 19:44:30
I really liked this perfume, but what I don't like is her perfumes have no staying power. I think if you do the layering you may get better staying power. It is a nice vanilla though.
11/10/08 21:10:57
I instantly fell in love with this one. It's sweet at first, but the drydown is very warm. The people I work with know I'm a perfume addict and always take notice when I'm wearing a new scent. Everyone REALLY liked Fancy.
11/06/08 19:07:59
I just got this fragrance and absolutely love it!! it's so sweet and ends with a cotton candy smell mmm yum! I just want to eat it. My husband loves it too. It's really young, sweet, fresh and playful, at least that's how I feel when I wear it:)
10/10/08 09:10:59
This fragrance is so light and so yummy! I love it!
10/02/08 13:17:59
I love this fragrance!! I was in Macy's sampling different perfumes and this one stood out. At first I smelled pear and then as the fragance mixes with my body chemistry I smell mainly vanilla with a hint of jasmine. It is very nice
09/27/08 10:36:15
smelled it in a magazine sample. was almost nice, but something cheap and sanitized about it.
09/25/08 14:00:47
Smells like candy and cupcakes. I have a sample size vial I would love to trade.
09/22/08 13:51:01
Overpowering candy smell, not bad, just overpowering. Has amazing lasting power, if nothing else.
09/21/08 12:45:31
This smells like desert. The caramel and vanilla are the primary notes that pop out at me. Its very soft and feminine.
08/29/08 11:25:09
I got mostly the vanilla cream, caramel, and a few florals. It smells like a delicious creme brulee, however I wouldn't like to smell like this. It smells almost exactly like Creme Bouquet by STILA.
08/20/08 13:32:42
i was recently at macys and i got a chance to sample fancy. it smells good but its basically a tone down version of britney spears' fantasy. i adore fantasy and this is like the kid sister of it! i like it but your better off getting fantasy!
08/20/08 11:36:26
I was very surprised by this scent. It was never on my list of 'fragrances I want to try' but while at Macy's a somewhat insistant (and annoying) SA suggested I try it. I tried it to get her away from me. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the scent. I love it. I bought it and I have no regrets.
