Fancy Jessica Simpson for women

I bought this as a blind buy based on reviews. I was expecting something a little more gourmand scented. You could smell the caramel and vanilla, but my sensitive nose couldn't get past the strong floral and musk scent....a little disappointing.

This fragrance makes me feel soft, comfortable and delicious! I generally like sweet fragrances, and perhaps it is because of this that I don't find this overly sweet at all. I definitely get pear and caramel with this, but it doesn't scream anything overly gourmand or sickly. It dries down to a lovely warm, powdery and feminine scent.

Way too sweet! Like a ton of melted, sticky caramel poured over cotton candy.

This gives me a headache! I prefer Viva La Juicy.

OMG I am in LOVE with this perfume I think its for winter because the scent is strong so thats why I think it goes with winter

Just purchased at Walgreen's for $29.99. Love it! Sweet and girly. When I put it on, my first sniff was a bit too juicy-fruit gum for me, but not bad. The dry down reminded me of a southern wedding: orange blossoms and a big white vanilla cake with buttercream frosting. True, it's not super-sophisticated, but Fancy's lack of pretension is part of it's charm. A little goes a long way and seems to last for quite a while. For the price, I think Fancy is a great buy. My husband also LOVES it on me-but he does have a sweet tooth and said I smelled "like a cake". Adorable little bottle too.

Really fun and yummy. It basically smells like a bakery in a bottle. Fruity? Haha ... I detect no fruity notes whatsoever.

if this had a taste and was a dessert, vanilla, orange and caramel cake with an orange blossom garnished on the top would be it!

depending on the person this can be pretty fancy for something super dessert sweet but in a way that wont come off as Tweenish! or it can just be flat out sickeningly sweet to those who aren't into sugary scents

this scent in my opinion is too heavy for warm weather so I'd just use this as a winter scent

downfall? strong! so what ever you do, enjoy this fragrance in small doses! this can seriously give someone or you a headache if you have too much of this on

The Caramel definitely stands out for me the most! I really love this scent!! Can't wait to get it!

First I was very confused by reviews here lol.
Some really love it, while some hate it...
I just got it a few days ago...and I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE IT!!!>_____________< so much! It's exactly what I have been looking for.
I've always love the sweet perfume types such as Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet,Miami Glow: JLO, Viva la juicy,YSL's Paris Jardins Romantiques, YSL's Candy Doll etc.
Fancy does smell like Viva la juicy BUT! Fancy is more refreshing, young(viva's scent seems too old for me, I'm 18 by the way), sweet, softer and delightful. ^______^ I'm in Bangkok (very very hot weather,I wear Fancy to the University every morning but it doesn't seem to be any problem. And at late noon it smells kinda like one of the Dior men perfume (which is good!lol)

This is by far one of the best celebrity perfumes. It is very yummy and smells like sweet pear and caramel. Perfect fro daytime and night time.mI also got a lot of compliments for this one.

I have always loved this scent...it's been my favorite celeb scent and favorite foody scent since I first sampled it two years ago. I love wearing this on grey days and cold nights, it's so cozy and pretty. It smells like a vanilla muffin with blanched almonds on top, very generously drizzled with buttery caramel sauce. I personally wouldn't eat that, but that really does smell pretty damn yummy. A friend of mine is already itching to get her own bottle after trying mine recently. Now, I've come across men (and other women) who don't particularly care for it, and others who find it just too sweet and foody, so I've kept it locked away, only wearing it occasionally, or at home for my own pleasure...but amazingly, a guy I've been seeing the past month just adores it, he hasn't complimented any of my other perfumes, Dior, Guerlain, etc., except for this. He even asks me for my 'sweetie cake' perfume when he catches me without Fancy. A great coincidence that he has an insatiable sweet tooth, so I get to wear this delicious frag alot more often than I used to. And yes Fancy is yummier than Fantasy or Pink Sugar to my nose, it is more sugary and feminine than either of them, Fantasy is creamier, with a fruity tartness in comparison, and Pink Sugar is stronger and heavier with that bitter liquorice edge to it.

So I just wrote a review below but I have been wearing Fancy now for 2 hours and I cant even smell it anymore and it does kind of smell like butter popcorn...Not really sure if its worth the dough...

This smells yummy...you can definitively smell the caramel...

This smells yummy...you can definitively smell the caramel...

Purchased on a whim and regret it, to sweet and nauseating...

its a straight chocolate in a bottle. sweet chocolate. very gourmand. u might be smelled yummy in it, and people would say so, they really gonna like it. but u might not like it as much as they like it, though. ummmm.... it just i think its kind of perfume that stand out by itself, it doesn't need u to show up. i myself don't really like that feeling.

How does vanilla and caramel smell high end?! I'm so surprised so many like this scent. It never dies down, just a very boring scent to me.

I absolutely LOVE this perfume! I smelled it at Macy's a few months ago, and I could not get it out of my mind! So, I bought it online for about $30 for the 3.4 oz bottle. I have been wearing it all week and I am in love! I also bought Fancy Love, without having previously smelled it, and I don't like it as much, but my mom loves it! I am very impressed that a celebrity perfume actually smells so high-end and expensive!

I thought I was going to like it, even though it was a bit sweet for me .
It reminded me of caramel corn.I dont really like scents that are really sweet but once in awhile for something different so thought it would be good for that purpose.

But then the gardenia came out and mixed witrh the sweetness made me nauseous and I couldnt wait to wash it off.

So that gardenia just ruins it for me! :(

I really wanted to like this one. I bought it blind based on the reviews here. The dry down smells like Eagle Brand Medicated Oil which my father-in-law uses daily for arthritis. It's very heavy and nauseating. I don't think my body chemistry does well with the vanilla based scents...unfortunately. Too bad I bought the 100ml bottle. Will try giving it to my sister, maybe she'll have better luck.

ICK! What a scrubber! Could not get this off fast enough. I do not understand why grown women want to smell like candy. Not sexy at all.

i think this could be my next blind purchase based on the reviews and ingredients, this sounds like just the thing i would go for, it has most of my fav notes. It sounds perfect and like it was made for me :)

After reading the reviews, I went to try this in Priceline. I sprayed some on, then let it dry down for a while. It's a beautiful smell, definitely oriental vanilla with some hints of brown sugar too. BUT..I realised after it dried down, that it smells VERY similar to In Control by Britney Spears :) which I already have. But, if you don't already have In Control by Britz, get this one if you love oriental vanilla/sweet perfumes.

So after reading TONS of compliments on this perfume, and after receiving and testing the sample, I decided to purchase it. Honestly, I am not sure if it was the right thing to do.

I really wanted this to be a nice, cupcake-like perfume. The main thing that (in my opinion) destroys that Fancy, is it´s "fruity" opening that really bothers me a lot! Usually, I LOVE fruity perfumes, but that red berries and pear combo makes my stomach feel bad. To me, the opening is STRONG and TOO CLOYING, and it mostly causes me a stroooong headache.

On the other hand, there is a WONDERFUL caramel, vanilla, almond drydown. But I just can´t handle that horrible, cloying opening.

And also never get any compliments on it, even my boyfriend told me it smelled plasticy! However, the lasting power is pretty much incredible! 6+ hours on me. But OVERALL, I am really disappointed :( Wish it was made without those fruit notes! I really regret buying the whole set, that contained 3.4 fl.oz. bottle, a roller-ball and the lotion (which was LITERALLY the worst lotion ever!! Smelled like VOMIT! I had to throw it away immediately..)

I love this one. It's hard to discribe, smells like Caramel for sure and also a pretty perfumey scent at the same time. The name discribes it really well, It smells very Fancy.

Totally love this perfume!! Perfect capacity of sweet caramel perfume :) Sooo yummmmm..! It does stay 3 day on my clothes, maybe longer... The colour describing the scent. Another good thing is no one guess what the perfume is because the scent has no similarity yet :D (specially peoples around me)
Unfortunately my husband didn't give compliment as 'a man' should...you know what I mean.lol So I'll keep it for 'ladies time only'

My favorite perfume ever. This is just heaven in a bottle for me.

It's really sweet - pear and vanilla, Great summer perfume and its last a long time. It reminds me of a Swedish ice cream called Pigelin....

This is lovely.
My husband even commented on how good it smells.
The staying power is also excellent.

I'd just like to say THANK YOU to all the reviewers that recommended this gorgeous perfume!

I purchased this online for £22 for a 100ml (bargain) without previously testing it. I loved all the notes so I thought why not?!! Fancy starts off with fruity/berry notes, I agree with the previous reviewer who said it was like a 'creamy fanta' that is exactly what the first one hour smells like. After this wears off, on my skin I got a sort of powdery/deodorant smell, which is my least favourite part of the perfume. Thankfully, it settles to a BEAUTIFUL caramel/chocolate/vanilla scent.

The lasting power is great, I smelt it strongly even whilst having a cigarette! I would probably recommend you don't spray more than three spritz though.

Overall, a pleasantly suprising, gorgeous and comforting perfume perfect for everyday wear. Highly recommended! In future I'll be trying all of Jessica Simpson perfumes.

it smell amazingggg !!! i was blind buying , and I'm not disappointed at all .. i love the way the vanilla and caramel goes together on my skin .

This was a disastrous blind buy. Smells like Palmers Cocoa Butter which I can't bear. Gave it away.

I love this perfume. I prefer it on cool days and nights. It's beautiful and lasts a long time too. Very vanilla. Men love it. WARNING: I was standing in line on a hot summer day next to a woman wearing Fancy. She smelled horrible and I could not wait to get away from her so my nostrils would stop stinging. This is a cool weather scent. Fall and winter.

Honestly, I bought this perfume based on all the reviews from here. Usually, a celebrity perfumes doesn't really interest me, but after all the positives things I've read, I decided that I have to give this one a chance.

I was right, I just cant get enough of it. I LOVE It!. I fell in love from the first spritz, smells like a really yummy drinks. Like a creamy red fanta (ok, I dont know a better way to discribe this), and then turned into cream caramel, chocolate and vanilla. All this yummy things comes in moderate ways, nothing too strong or smell too obvious.I cant stop smelling it.

It last more than 6 hours on me, so its definitely one of my fav!

I love Jessica Simpson. She is beautiful and a great singer. I love her even more now that I've smelled Fancy. God this is wonderful. So yummie, delicious, sweet, caramel, vanilla, sugar. I have the biggest bottle because this is not sold in my country, had to order it online. I bought the biggest one, and also the biggest one of Fancy Love. I love them both but the original fancy is the best.

It starts of with a blast of berries and sugar. After a couple of minutes I really smell the pear. After half an our the caramel comes through. The drydown is creamy vanilla with sugar and caramel. This lasts for hours and hours and hours. Amazing projection and lasting power. Great job.

I tried this today for the first time after REALLY wanting it badly. At first i didn't like it, but then like five minutes later i REALLY liked it!! I think because i sprayed it way too close to the skin, and it was really strong, but then when it actually dried on my skin a bit - Like five minutes later, i REALLY loved it!! I could really smell the Caramel, and i really love the dry down! The Caramel really stays there but it's quite a nice balance of scents! And it was cheap, which was really good! Can't wait to buy it!

Fancy is my snow season perfume.
I simply love the way it embraces me with its warm sweet scent. It's sweet but not cloying, very long lasting, with a fruity touch that makes it perfect for gourmand lovers. To me apricot and caramel are predominant but basicly I also smell red berries, almond and pear quite clearly. To me it's also quite milky and powdery ambery although milk is not listed in the notes.
It doesn't change very much on skin and clothes (oh it's divine on clothes) but it stays in the air forever!
Definitely for cold weather, both day and night!

i just LOVE the vanilla smell from this perfume it smells absolutely delicious!
A really lovely, sweet-smelling perfume overall. YUM

I remember when my friend told me she bought Fancy by Jessica Simpson and i couldnt stop laughing ....I dont really like jessica(well never met her but you know what a mean ;)and i couldnt believe that my friend, someone who adores Dior, Armani, Thierry Mugler etc tells me that she bought Fancy and that is one of the best perfumes she has ever tried.....

I had to try it myself and then .....OMG ! what a surprise was that! this is brilliant fragrance for winter. Smells gorgeous! so warm and comfortable-vanilla, almond, caramel with a hint of fruit. I have never honestly smelled anything like it before and I really got to love it . One of my favourites. perfect for cold days and believe it or not- on my skin lasts longer than Armani and Prada .

I purchased the gift set yesterday, which included the 1oz. perfume bottle. I'm excited to wear this perfume because I find it most appropriate for this Winter Season. In this fragrance, you'll definitely get quite a bit of vanilla, caramel, & almonds hints in it, duh. I'm going to be wearing this perfume to work & going out. This fragrance has a sophisticated & casual scent to it. I'll be sure to wear just a spray or two, since it's quite a heavy fragrance. On a scale of 1 to 10, I have to give this perfume an 8. Can't hardly wait to start wearing tomorrow.

Like a luscious dip in a sweet scented lagoon: leaves you feeling romantic and smelling scrumptious! I definitely give this one a 10. The vanilla and caramel notes are definitely not cloying to my nose: sweet cupcakes with deliciously scented fruity frosting!It blends beautifully with the pear, abricot and red berries; this gives the fragrance a declectable burst of fuity freshness that I do not find in Pink Sugar lacks. The drydown is casmerish with tender sandalwood and heady yet feminine gardenia. I definitely love it!!! the flacon represents the fragrance well i believe: simply elegant and oh, so feminine! (second part of review below ) :D good day! xxx

When I bought the 30 ml, I thought I would save it for special occasions since it was SO totally my cup of tea! But I got SO many compliments and my boyfriend finds it so sweetly sexy that I emptied it quite fast, feeling a bit guilty for overdoing it treat-wise lol... So I got the 100ml and endulged as often as i wanted to to my great delight without the calories nor the guilt. . It mingles beautifully with Fancy Love which reminds me so much of my beloved Burberry Woman which I use sparingly since I find it expensive here in Canada. And since my best friend loves it so on me (she calls it my praline-honey scent) she gifted me with another just today! Here ius my first review for this sublime yummy frag:

Opens with the nice mix of fruits, which turn into caramel and vanilla. You only need one or two spritz and will last the whole day. It doesn't smell like cupcake to me, but it sure is cozy. This is a sweet yet well mannered fragrance.

When to wear: Fall and specially Winter. The colder the weather, the better. Any hour of the day.

Where to wear: At home with that special someone. At a gathering with friends. Going shopping.

An intimate fun scent. That's why I wouldn't wear it to the office, class, church, or a jury duty.

just smelled it at the store! thought i would love it, which... i ALMOST DID.

off top, i got a vanilla latte with extra caramel =] YUMMMMYYYYYYYY. very heavy tho.

then i got a little edge... was it the almonds?


all in all, id say 8/10 ... 10 being i LOVE the perfume. might consider getting it in the smallest size available.

Caramel and almonds. Nice fragrance my mom loves it.

I got this perfume last summer, and I had to swap it cause it was too cloying and syrupy…I smelled it again yesterday and fell in love…the only difference is the weather…yesterday was so cold and this was like a warm fluffy sweater…it smelled like a tin of condensed milk caramelizing over boiling water…it’s a beautiful warm scent…it is beautiful and warm but I don’t know if its sexy

To my nose, this is much more than a vanilla gourmand. Fancy is richer, more complex than most celebrity fragrances on the market now, and has a sweet incensy smell.My husband says that he likes it because the sweetness is balanced by the musk in the heart.I have a mini that I carry around with me and sniffing it throughout the day always lifts my mood.
and fyi~there's something about this scent that smells even more beautiful the colder the weather is.

Oh no. I wanted to like this. It smelled like lichee and vanilla, but chemically so. As if the ingredients they used to make this scent were so chemical in content that the chemicals burned through the notes. In fact, they burned every time I took a sniff of this on my wrist and I wound up with a runny nose. Ugh.

Sweet sweet sweet. Almond, vanilla, caramel, and maybe a bit of sandalwood. No fruit no flower for me. Its just like a cake batter or freshly baked sugar almond cookies. It's very one dimensional. If you like sweet scent that is comfy to wear, this is probably worth checking out.

I'm a bit older (53) but continue to be drawn to the "food scents" - chocolate and vanilla specifically. This fragrance ranks high in that area and really took me by surprise. I find many of the newbie fragrances put out by the young and beautiful to be lacking in complexity and staying power.
Not so with Fancy! This grabbed me from the first sniff and keeps my interest throughout the day! Not only does it last as long if not longer than many of the upscale scents, but doesn't fade into a weak version of what you first spray on...rather it warms down into a beautiful captivating creation that could easily become a 'signature scent' for anyone.
Admittedly it is strong initially - but it will take you into the evening, through the intimacy and have you smelling divine in the morning!

This is one of the perfumes I had when my fragrance addict tendencies were just beginning to sprout. Oh, the nostalgia :} I remember wearing this on a vacation with my boyfriend and smelling its sweet, nutty goodness all day long without even a hint of reapplication, even in the heat of summer. This one is a sillage monster on me, but in a good way. The almond gives it a distinct scent, something that makes it recognizable from the other vanilla caramel's out there. At first, I took that grainy, gritty sweetness to be a sugar note, but seeing here that it is almond, it makes sense now when I smell it. If you do not like sweet perfumes, run for the hills on this one, but for a gourmand lover like me, this one is a keeper.

After the reviews I rushed out to test this. I really wanted to like it but was sadly disappointed. It had a really harsh scent that I didn't like at all. After a while it mellowed to a more tolerable vanilla, which I didn't mind. However I don't think I'd be able to put up with the initial spray. So sad, oh well the search continues.

This perfume smells wonderful. Smells like creamy warm vanilla pudding. U know when ur stirring it up in a pot? hmmm....Every time I wear this I get complimented. Its very comforting and lasts all day.

OMG my LOVE offer me this lovely fragrance last weekend & seriously i have plenty of BIG BRANDS fragrance top cotes but! when i spray this one ... WE BOTH LIKE... mmmm! sensual feeling ** if you know what i mean WE GET CRAZY feeling i know it's not a new fragrance but... MEN WHERE WAS I... this i think will be on TOP OF MY FAV fragrance for a long way.. but i think it's more a autumn winter scent lets see in the summer how it will turns out! just love at the first **spray** not crazy about the fancy night but this one..mmmm! OOOOOOOhh! YES! BAby

I feel like Fancy is too much for some occasions. I don't like the opening of the fragrance. When I spray it on I can't smell my wrist right after it because the mix of the pear, red berries, and apricot really, I think, don't do the fragrance a lot of justice.

I love the creamy, vanilla/sugary base the frag has though -which keeps me coming back for more. I just love after a few hours of wearing it the way it makes me feel warm on cold fall days.

Like a luscious dip in a sweet scented lagoon: leaves you feeling romantic and smelling scrumptious! I definitely give this one a 10. The vanilla and caramel notes are definitely not cloying to my nose: sweet cupcakes with deliciously scented fruity frosting!It blends beautifully with the pear, abricot and red berries; this gives the fragrance a declectable burst of fuity freshness that I do not find in Pink Sugar lacks. The drydown is casmerish with tender sandalwood and heady yet feminine gardenia. I definitely love it!!! the flacon represents the fragrance well i believe: simply elegant and oh, so feminine!
PLEASE: PUT BALLONS IS YOU ARE THINKING OR WEARING THIS LOVELY POTION FOR XMAS! PM ARE WELCOME! ROSIE

At first I find this scent to be really pleasant and rich. Not long after it smells really strong and stinging.. like bug spray almost.

This perfume has the same cloying, bitter note that Estee Lauders Pleasures Delight has... it ruins the otherwise gourmand vanilla notes and after a while of wearing makes me nauseous.

this is the first ever fragrance i ever bought! its great.

here is what it smells like:

the top note: it sort of smells like bubble tea or milk tea to me. its winter and i wore a scarf and the fragrance basically "Fancied" it, and my friend took my scarf and smelt it, and she sed that it smells just like bubble tea. top note lasts about an hour.

heart note: its very very yummy. its just like a caramel chocolate bar to me. i can barely smell the almonds, and the florals. it lasts about 3~5 hours.

base note: VANILLA. you can tots smell the vanilla. its like a splash in yo face. smells sooo good. lasts basically for the whole day. and after i shower, i can smell the top note again. ikr, weerd.

i defitnetly recommend this. its very strong, so no longer then 2 sprays.

I am jeolous of all of you who can wear this and no problems. I annoy myself with this because I go backwards and forwards with it like a lunatic. I spray it on myself and think yuck I am going to be sick. I spray it around the house and as I walk around I think that smells so nice. Spray it on myself yuck I am going to puke. and backwards and forwards I go. This is affordable and available in abundance everywhere in Australia. I have had 2 bottles now and everytime it ends up being used as room spray. My husband always says you smell really nice when I wear it. I am wondering if she has a body lotion maybe that is all I could handle with this one. Of course in Australia getting the body lotion is going to be a big performance as we rarely have them. They always have sets of things here that I am not interested in or that no one really likes but the ones I really like I can never get the sets for them. I love Fancy Nights I can wear that with no problems and that is stronger than this so go figure? I find Fancy lasts and lasts on me and I wouldn't say it is pure vanilla because you can smell caramel on and off in it. Also, the liquid in mine turns very dark and brown everytime I buy it. It doesn't seem to affect the smell but I am not sure if that happens to other people it doesn't look nice I prefer when the liquid is the pale pink colour otherwise it just looks like bile or urine or something. The Mariah Carey M turns brown as well I have noticed and it does affect the smell of that one.

Fancy is very much loved and for good reason, its a beautiful and finely blended vanilla silage monster (IMHO). It makes me feel very warm and cozy in the winter. I've never smelt another vanilla that evoked the same kind of reaction from me. The lasting power is a little blah, I have to respray every 4 hours but comparing to other celeb scents I think its reasonable. I don't get many compliments while wearing this, but thats fine because I love the way it makes me feel. I want to try others from the Fancy line and see if they're this good.

My absolutely favorite perfume atm. I love this perfume during fall/winter. It is sweet but not sickeningly sweet. The initial scent I get from spraying this is the pear. It then dries down into a rich caramel gourmand scent. I just adore this. I get many compliments when I wear this. It also has great lasting power.

On my skin sickly sweet, to the point of being overwhelming.

If you are a big fan of vanilla scent,you should own this perfume.For me,it is pure vanilla scent and I like it so much.This is my signature scent of celebrity perfumes.It makes me feel happy whenever I use it.

love this ,hard to find

This is simply lovely, although it will never replace my obsession with Fancy Love. I tried a sample of this and while it is extremely sweet, there are sweeter ones out there (ie. Philosophy's Unconditional Love), and the flavor is anything but "cheap" smelling. As long as you don't tell anyone you're wearing Jessica Simpson, the impression they'd get from this perfume is something very expensive, elegant, and classy (no offense, Jessica!)

Fancy makes me feel like I am floating on fluffy vanilla clouds for hours and hours! Like taking a vanilla magic carpet ride. :) It is sweet, yes, but somehow not heavy, and it lasts 12+ hours with just 1-2 sprays. I have to be honest, I prefer scents that use better raw materials (the pear note is a wee bit too synthetic for my taste). But I have the budget of a poor starving college student right now and Fancy is upbeat and FUN.

Going on my 4th bottle already! i love it!!! i get many compliments and lasts all day and night into the morning!! :) if u dont mind smelling delicious and sweet and dont mind the attention, i recommend this perfume!

This one ...one word wonderfull really recomend it not a cheap smell ,very sweet ,good projection ,excellent lasting power,compliments will follow you all night or day long. I put it on at 10pm and at 6am after dance lots of hugs ,kisses ,beer ,I was still receiving compliments
everyone wanted to know where this magic and sweet smell was coming from.

vanilla fragrance >.<"
I love it :)

WOW!! I don't know what to say but this fragrance is absolutly beautiful!! Can't believe i have never smelt or purchased it before! Its sweet but not too sweet on me.. VERY enjoyable!! This is deffinatly a new staple in my wardrobe!!! Way to go Jess!

I tested this 3 days ago. It smelled like a warm vanilla cupcake, but that's all. It's very hot and humid in Indonesia and wearing this will make me smell horrible. It's perfect for colder days, though.

I love this perfume! Although my girl's guy and mine told us they hated it.

But I still think it is delicious!!!

I just received this in a swap with analogheartxo and i loveee it!!! It does smell sweet but I don't get caramel, it just smells warm and yummy! It reminds me a bit of Hot Couture edp all the spicy and warm notes, so love it! Going to a britney show tonight and was gonna wear one of her perfumes but I've now changed my mind!! hah <3

What a surprise....Is actually really nice, simple, sweet and I guess just like the Girl Jessica S herself..
Personally I will not buy another bottle, as I have way more fumes that run rings around this one, but it is actually really nice, but does not last on the skin for a long time....

This is such a fun sweet, girly perfume. Smells like walking into the bakery of my dreams. I don't much like the other scents in the Fancy collection, but that's fine. I'm content with the original.

the staying power is amazing . 8 hrs on my skin :)

The dry down smell just like Calvin Klein Obsession.

Being a celebrity perfume I instantly thought "not another one".... however I was pleasantly awakened at it's sweet soft citrus opening that surprisingly isn't sickly sweet.

I didn't get the pear note.... maybe a bit of apricot and berry but definitely no pear. There were too many other notes dominating the top and middle and unfortunately pear scent itself is soft.

If you like caramel sweet with a bit of fruit for playfulness and sandal, vanilla and amber for depth then this is worth adding to your collection.

The price is good value too.

Overall 7/10

Like a luscious dip in a sweet scented lagoon: leaves you feeling romantic and smelling scrumptious! I definitely give this one a 10. The vanilla and caramel notes are definitely not cloying to my nose: sweet cupcakes with deliciously scented fruity frosting!It blends beautifully with the pear, abricot and red berries; this gives the fragrance a declectable burst of fuity freshness that I do not find in Pink Sugar lacks. The drydown is casmerish with tender sandalwood and heady yet feminine gardenia. I definitely love it!!! the flacon represents the fragrance well i believe: fancy and feminine! Give me news on how u like it!!!

if u are a SWEETheart u gonna love this one!
if not move on B#7=*h lol

This one really is yummy! Starts out as peaches and ice cream on me, really sweet, just BARELY short of being over the top, but somehow it works. Then it mellows into this delicious vanilla cookie aroma, like nilla wafers. Sweet and cuddly and fun!

I almost didn't try it too, the tester just smelled like sticky sugar syrup, not appealing AT ALL. And you don't get a good sense of the warm yummy richness when it's on paper. This is definitely one you have to actually try on, I think.

Update: Just tried out Pink Sugar, and once it gets past the peach, Fancy is VERY similar, maybe with slightly more caramel.

I purchased this fragrance without smelling it – which is normally a pretty stupid thing to do but I got lucky on this one. The notes in this perfume sounded wonderful to me and since I’m a very gourmand vanilla foodie type girl when it comes to my fragrances I figured this was the one for me. It is! Vanilla woody is a great way to describe it (though someone else thought it smelled like cotton candy and cigarette ash) I found it to smell sweet and soulful at the same time. A deep and sophisticated vanilla.

Now when I say sophisticated vanilla I mean it in a fun way - not in a high-end Shalimar kind of way (which I also like) When I wear this I think big white fluffy sweaters and hot cocoa by a campfire. It’s absolutely delicious.

Lasting time is amazing on both skin and clothing. I’m the girl who sprays 2-3 puffs when all she needs is 1 – I never listen but please listen this time. ONE FULL SPRAY is enough. It’s strong so don’t overspray or you’ll get too much of a good thing. It’s a sweet perfume but the sandalwood really brings this scent down to earth. Sweet, sexy, grown up. I love this fragrance.

I'm 29 and usually am cognizant of a fragrance paired with age. I don't feel that this perfume is too young for me or anyone. I think this perfume spans across all age groups.

Jessica knows how to make a fragrance

i wish i could wear this in summer cause i love it so much!!!!!! :( but i reckon it's too heavy for the hotter days

i'm so confused this is like the 3rd perfume i've tried lately where the notes i smell and what are shown don't match at all! i got this perfume based on reviews and the notes listed and i smell no caramel, no vanilla. it's foody but in a fruity way,not the warm caramel, vanilla way. berries and apricot are the most prominent on me, even in the dry down. i wish i got that vanilla cupcake smell!

I have to update this, after trying to wear this for a day now, I think i may puke. it smells to me like old lady perfume with a very plastic and fake smell to it. so many people like this maybe i'll try to swap it or something!

Omg this is my least fav perfume come out too strong fake caramel like for me I bought it and try it once I have to wash my hands rite away. I just bought coz I thought the bottle is nice. I was hoping fancy would be airy light scent but really too strong for my liking.
If anyone want to take it I'll give it for a swap with anything you don't want.
I got 100ml and is still full, I rather swap it to someone who like it than it go to waste. I recently looking at buying Still by Jlo or Siren by Paris Hilton so if anyone want to swap I be happy to. Other perfume also ok for swap :-)

This is what my boyfriend calls my "cute pookie scent." The beginning is quite awful with fruits rubbing themselves in an aggressive plastic manner. Middle and end are fabulous. It smells like vanilla flavored waffles drizzled with caramel sauce. I've gotten the most compliments wearing this one that anything else I've worn before. I just make sure I put it on a half hour before making contact with other people :P.

Update: Just bought my second bottle! YES! I love jessica simpson's perfumes! She is the best celebrity perfume designer!

Reminds me of a sundae...I love wearing it once in a great while, but I can't wear it regularly. It's just too sweet.

I was hoping for a clean and light candied vanilla type of smell after reading all the reviews. Though on my skin it smelled rather synthetically sweet: HEAVY and DIRTY vanilla. It's really strong even with just a dab on the back of my hand for testing. I had to wash it off as I started to have a headache. I guess I couldn't write about this FANCY much further.

Luv it! This smells so sweet and warm. The caramel and vanilla really stand out. I wore this all last winter! Perfect for everyday wear, but do not over spray this otherwise you'll feel sick!

I try to stay away from celeb fragrances most of the time, but decided to give this one a try because I came across a gift set that has the rollerball in it that I'd love to have...

Sprayed this one on about an hour ago. At first it was way too sweet almost like syrup. But after about 20 minutes it became warm and almost oriental smelling. Much of the sweetness calmed down on my skin, leaving a very pleasant vanilla woody fragrance. I lOVE It!..I keep sniffing every few minutes to see what developes.:)

This seems to have a huge following and I see it recommended over and over. I've tried it at least 5 times now, trying to get the waffle, sweet, yummy, caramel, cakey gourmand smell that so many have reported. All I get is cheap plasticky soapy I don't know what. Even my husband said I smelt like a toilet duck.

It obviously doesn't suit my skin!

On me it's nothing like Prada Candy....

it smells exactly like prada candy, except slightly smoother, softer, a little bit more gourmand, a little less floral. otherwise, it's the same scent. at first i hated this because i thought i smelled like a huge sugar cookie, but i get SO many compliments on it, it's made me change my mind. i can only handle 1 spritz though.

This was my signature scent for quite awhile. One of the only perfumes I have actually used till it ran out. My ex always called it the "waffle perfume" cuz he said it smelled like waffles with maple syrup. It's sweet and warm, I could smell the caramel a lot.

@malibu,what are you talking about the lasting power isnt great ? it is amazing! I can smell it still on my clothes when Im getting ready to do laundry after a week, if that isnt great lasting power I dont know what is to you

Credit where's credit is due; FANCY is a pleasant and comforting daytime scent, best suited to autumn/winter.

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 a bit too sweet, it can border on sickly on me. The light florals in the heart of the fragrance calm it down, so I could tolerate it.


The lasting power is best described as OK - around four hours, so not very good. Although it has no impact on the fragrance, I have to mention that I hate the name. Cute bottle, though.

I love this fragrance and I wil always be apart of my collection,fancy starts off with a rush of red berries which my be a little strong at first, but after that you get more of the floral notes in it which is the part I dont like, after that and its dry down you get the carmel, the vanilla cream and almonds which is my favorite part of the fragrance. It smells kinda like vanilla frosting on a cake with carmel poured over it. I love it, very pretty. Can be dressed up or down, this is a grown up version of britney's fantasy and smells better than pink sugar, pink sugar smells like burn cookies to me, The lotion is AMAZING ! In the lotion you get the pure edible notes in it, no florals, no fruits just the yummy aspect of it. The fragrance last all day long! for 60 dollars its not bad at all, the bottle is beautiful on a dresser or vanity. She put alot of effort into this fragrance, infact with all of them. I fancy, fancy :)

i absolutly love this fragrance, i bought a little bottle from wal mart because i heard that it smells really good. So i tried it and LOVED IT It smells really sweet on my skin, i get so much compliments when i wear it, and my boyfriend actually told me he loves when i wear it :-)

Today, I dabbed Fancy on one wrist and Fancy Love on the other. Guess which one sucks?! Maybe I got a bad sample or something, because the top notes smell like chemicals, sugar, cream soda, and mens aftershave! I don't know if the drydown will yield more favourable results- it seems unlikely. I love the bottle and was just about to buy a 100mL bottle, but got a sample just in case- I think this was a good decision. I will update in a few hours if the drydown exceeds my expectations. Meanwhile, Fancy Love on the other hand (or wrist in my case!) appears to be quite promising!

Update: It's been 2 hours and I can definitely smell vanilla, freshly baked cake, and a bit of caramel in there, but the masculine aftershave smell persists in the background. Unfortunately, the same thing applies to the Fancy Love! It may be due to a body chemistry incompatibility thing. I'm undecided on whether to buy it or not. Either way, for those who have the same problem, I think the way to go is to spray this a couple of hours before coming into contact with people.

Smells like a newbaked cinnamon bun. Very sweet and nice. Lots and lots of cinnamon, vanilla and sugar.

Vanilla scents are usually one of three extremes; they are either very sweet smelling (think Warm Vanilla Sugar from BBW), very musky smelling (think Vanilla Lace) or very “foody” smelling. This thankfully is neither.

This balances the line between smelling musky and strong and like something edible very well. When smelled from the bottle this smells like cake, cookies and all other delights you would find in any bakery, however once sprayed this changes completely. Whilst still carrying its gourmand origins it develops into a musky, mature and downright sexy scent.

To call “Fancy” merely a perfume is somewhat offensive, in my opinion this one of those rare scents that manages to avoid the “conveyer belt” formula and really stands out from the crowd, it generates discussion, interest, allure and as a pompous fashion editor may say “really completes an outfit”.

The only surprising thing about this fragrance is that it comes from Jessica Simpson, don’t get me wrong stranger things have happened but after her disastrous first attempt at perfuming (yes because we all want to lick perfume and lotion of one another!!) I never would have thought she would create something this exciting.

The likes of Paris Hilton and co. should take note...THIS is how it’s done!

I LOVE this one! It has such a creamy, alluring scent. The vanilla and caramel blend so perfectly without the burnt smell other sweet perfumes tend to have. I get so many compliments when I wear this. I am not a big fan of most celeb scents but I must say, Jessica Simpson markets great perfumes. I have the entire Fancy collection. Other celebs should take advice from Jessica when marketing perfume. Her perfumes have a fantasic price, great staying power and never smell cheap...... Way to go JS.......

Gave me a migraine. The scent went up my nose into my brain...
The bottle doesnt match the scent either.

sweety elegant suits for all ages i like it its reminds me Guess marsiano

I love Gloria by Cacharel but they discontinued it, so I was looking for a similar imitation for years until I finally found Fancy. They both are oriental vanilla fragrances containing similar notes of almonds, amber and vanilla. The berries note in Fancy is similar to the cherry effect in Gloria. The caramel note in Fancy is what makes this fragrance, well...fancy!!! I would say it lasts (about 6 hours). This is my new signature perfume.

BTW fragrantica helped me find it by searching by notes...very helpful website!

Creamy, comforting, cozy perfume. It has an edible powderyness, like the powder on marshmallows. I notice the red berries, it adds a little zing, but it mellows out fast enough. There is a toasty nuttiness that I love. I love wearing this in the winter.

this is your typical floral-vanilla scent. the top notes are fruity, but the drydown smells almost exactly like pink sugar -just a bit more muted. it lasts 10+ hours on me, so staying power is very good. but i find that very sweet, vanilla-y scents generally do have good staying power. i wasn't fond of this one too much because it lacks personality, but it's totally wearable.

PS: please use a light hand! my friend wears this and everytime she sprays more than 2 spritzes, i get nauseous around her. ick.

I endlessly love this scent after the first test and could not forget it. Having perfume masterpieces I sincerely adore this one, it contains everything I like.

smells like straight up cake, very sweet cake.

Sweet vanilla and caramel goodness, its a very feminine playful parfume, it has a soft and suttle smell, like a perfume is supposed to be. Im puttin this one on my wish list!

This reminds me a lot of her 'Dessert' line fragrances but with better staying power. It is a little strong for me, sometimes gives me a headache, but every time I wear it , I always get asked about it. I would say use it sparingly.

I tried this awhile back and got a very strong dill type scent when I wore it, yes, DILL...wierd I know, I love the smell of dill but not on me! I just on a whim smelled the bottle the other day while my son and I were sniffing around in Macy's and decided to spray it on just to see if it still had that dill odor. I now believe Kohl's where I tested it the first time had a bad or off bottle because this stuff smells really good on me without that dill note! I get berries, tons of creamy vanilla, a touch of gardenia and maybe a hint of the caramel, very nice and comforting. I may pick up a bottle for fall/winter. It seems to last quite a few hours too! :0)

here is lot of caramel, vanilla and red berries going on.. Its a little bit to sweet for my taste but its nice. This scent is perfect for a younger woman, I think.

Mycket karamell, vanilj och röda bär i denna doften. Lite för söt för att jag ska falla helt för den. En doft som passar den unga kvinnan i mitt tycke.

I so wish the JS was not on the bottle of this one. I'm embarassed to admit I really really love it. When people ask me what I'm wearing, I usually name some impossible to get, discontinued French scent, just so that they don't discover my dirty little secret. Is that wrong? LOL ;)

This is one of those fragrances that was truly love at first sniff for me.

Initially I could smell the burst of juicy fruits, but that gives way very quickly to a luscious caramelly-vanilla with a hint of nuttiness from the almonds, which is so warm and sumptuous that I couldn't stop smelling my wrist.

On me, the floral notes only came through very lightly...it was mainly caramel and vanilla that I could detect on my skin, especially once the perfume dried down.

It is a very sweet scent, and perfect to cheer yourself up during those long winter days.

The sillage wasn't bad, and the lasting power was pretty average. It lasted on my skin for about 5-6 hours before it wore off completely. The perfume is good value for the price though, so you can afford to reapply liberally throughout the day.

I love it and I'm pretty sure this will be my new signature scent when winter arrives.

The opening kept me thinking: hmmm a bit too synthetic for my taste so I was wondering Why do many people seem to ADORE this frag, But then the answer came by itself.

Mid notes and drydown are fabulous I could describe the notes but I rather tell you this:
-It is exactly like if you were smelling a warm vanilla cake, yep like going to the bakery and smelling the vanilla cake that came straight from the oven an it´s warm, cozy, indulgent,yummie.

There´s this sweet liquor that is made only here in my country with typical fruits and almonds called "Espíritu del Ecuador".Fancy resembles me of it.

So I´m loving Fancy a bit more every day.

Highly recomended! It's caramel, but in a very nice way - and lasts long. Sweet, warm and delicious. Great composition. Give it a try!

it smells like a warm cake. very cozy and sweet, but not too sweet. it smells more expensive than it really is. when my bottle is finished i definitely have to buy a new one. :)

You know, it has it's sweet, strong, vanilla-ey appeal. I liked it at first, then I started realizing it was giving me a headache. Then I started realizing how cheap and strong it smelled. Victoria's Secret released last winter, Heavenly Stardust, in limited editions. As I sprayed, I immediately made the very familiar connection to Fancy. Heavenly Stardust is far superior and better quality...they do however, smell almost exactly the same. If you like Fancy, you will adore Heavenly Stardust...it is a refined, quality version of Fancy.

I love this fragrance. It is simply warm and inviting. This is the kind of scent that makes me think of being wrapped up in a blanket on a cold winter evening with a good book and a hot cup of tea. The vanilla gives it that deep rich fragrance while the berries lighten the mood and keep it from being overbearing. A truly lovely fragrance.

I LOVED this perfume when I smelled it the first time. However, it didn't work with my body chemistry when I tried it. I'm really disappointed because it's such a yummy scent, but I guess it's not meant for me. Too bad :(

I had to write another comment This is HG!!!! This is everything i ever wanted in a perfume I have bought so many perfumes looking for that perfect warm vanilla perfume but has a little more The apricot note in this makes it truely special It gives the vanilla a little extra sweetness without being too sickly sweet I am OBSESSED with this perfume!!!! Will be wearing this 4ever!!!

I LOVE THIS!!! What a wonderful perfume Jess did a great job with this.I have so many perfumes And this is my favourite so far and second in line is her fancy love Which is also heaven!!I have Fantasy too and it is Nothing like it the only thing they share is a vanilla note on the dry down but fantasy is too candy kiddy sweet Where fancy is a warm dessert xmas time vanilla So different.This just gets better the longer you wear it I find myself constantly smelling my arm Its that nice The fruity florals that keep being made by the truck load are nice but they all smell the same This is different There are not many truely gormand warm vanilla scents done by celebs This is definately unique I just love this Try it!!!

Fancy is one of my all time favourites. This has to be the best celebrity fragrance I have ever had a chance to try.

Starts off with a delicious burst of red berries, apricot and pear.
As it softens, the vanilla and caramel develops beautifully and suddenly I am in the most delicious gourmand vanilla dream, like a huge pot of milky, dreamy creme brulee with caramel topping!
Truly mouthwatering experience, a must try for all vanilla and sweet gourmand lovers!

I am impressed by the longevity, I use it for nights out and sprayed on my hair it lasts until morning! Sillage is reasonable too but I would say it gives it`s best in the first 2-3 hours.

I don`t find it overly sweet or too cloying, although I would recommend it for slightly colder days as the vanilla-caramel combo is really warm and can get too much in hot summer.

Those vanilla lovers who find celebrity scents off putting still should give Fancy a try as it is gorgeously soft, sophisticated, not childish and absolutely wearable.
I will always cherish Jessica for making such a beauty. :)

This is very strong and should be used sparingly. The smell is quite synthetic at first. Spraying this all over is the wrong method to use when approach with this one because of its very plasticy jasmine opening.

It does not have a plain, sweet vanilla scent, but a complex vanilla scent with lush gardenia and amber and tart summer fruits. There is also a hint of smokiness which could make it suitable for nighttime. It is bright and sweet and shyly naughty. It reminds me of something a pretty Southern belle might wear. I like it so much.

i recently purchased it and its really nice. it is sweet and soft, but not too candy or girlish. really well done.

It is indeed not like Fantasy, but it is similar to Burberry Brit. Love this perfume!

I don't understand all the compairisons to Fantasy. Yes they are both gourmond and sweet but Fantasy has much more of a fruity sweet to it than Fancy. The white chocolate and fruit makes it much more of a light sweet than Fancy is. Fancy is a warmer deeper sweet.If anything it smells like Viva La Juicy because they both have those caramely notes

The vanilla in this scratches at me and annoys me like fantasy by Brittney Spears. Something in it just annoys me. I can wear Guess and Namoi Campbells original one they smell like vanilla and caramel but this one just is too annoying for me. It lasts a long time so it is well worth the money if you do want it.

Please help! Is it better fancy by Jessica Simpson than fantasy by britney spears ??

OOHH i'm so in loveee with perfume not..so i lovee vanilla, this one is pure vanilla ice-cream+caramel..so sweet & sexy..not too heavy to wear at daytime, perfect for nightime...love this!!

Ok-yet another perfume that I disliked just a few days ago-retried it and now I want to eat my arm...either my nose-or me-must be going loopy.I think I might just hold on to this one...I agree that this would be perfect for a cold weather scent though before I found this cloying but now it has a very soft sillage.I think it's because it's...you know..(that time of the month:TMI)that I am having such odd reactions to perfumes lately.
@rdemates-It's not just your bottle:mine comes out in a huge spray...it's impossible to put just a little spritz on.

I've been wearing fancy a couple times a week for about 2 months now and I've gotten more compliments on this perfume that any others that I've worn. My boyfriend liked it, my mom liked it, the chef at the restaurant I work at liked it, the boss at my internship, 2 of my coworkers...a complete stranger...
This is a perfume I like but don't love, but damn I've been getting so many compliments!
A strange rub of top notes makes the initial spray smell kind of weird, but still people find it pleasant on me. The bottle of course is adorable, though it bugs me that my sprayer sprays too much at a time. Instead of a misty spray I get more a squirt that leaves a wet spot on my shirt. It could be a manufacturing error.
The dry down is the BEST PART! It reminds me of my favorite childhood scent, my little kiddle pretty perfume locket doll, Laurie Lavendar! She smelled just like sweet powdery cupcakes with a hint of floral. This is one of my happy scents!
I totally agree that this is a yummy vanilla cupcake smell. I think this smell is better suited to cold times of the year, when bakery scents are more comforting. But I'm wearing it in the summer anyhow, I never pay that much attention to the fragrance season rules.
Awesome fragrance though, great staying power. Kudos to Jessica!

an extremely sweet scent. i wouldn't recommend it for those long winter nights. it's more of a spring / summer scent where you would wear this for a night of partying. it dries very nice and smells very good afterwards. smells good even on those hot days.

Oh wow! I love this scent. I agree with other reviewers that have noted the cupcake/vanilla smell. To me it's a comfort scent; curled up on the couch on a cold winter day with a cup of hot cocoa kind of scent. Very yummy too. I get lots of compliments with this one, people tell me how fresh I smell. It's staying power is ridiculous too; can still smell it the next day! I really love this and I am out at the moment, but I won't repurchase until it gets cooler outside. BTW, great mood lifter frag!

My boyfriend gave me this for a birthday present. I was so excited when I saw the cute little box with Jessica on it and the "fancy" bottle! Smells to me like cupcakes and vanilla! Yum! I feel really girly and lovely when I put this on. Only problem is, I don't think it is very strong, and no one has ever commented on it like they do the Britney, Jlo ones etc!

This is yummy! A candy-ish vanilla fruit cake.There is a prominent pear?? note in me at first spritz that bugs me, but then settles in a warm, very sweet non cloying foody vanilla scent. Heaven for gourmand lovers.
Lasting power about 5 hrs on me, Sillage medium.

Fancy is a lovely vanilla/caramel/red fruit bomb, with amazing sillage and longevity.

BUT - there is a tobacco note in it too that really bugs me, I don`t want to smell like a smoker.

Overall - a great quality perfume with a nice price tag!

It Smells so good when you put it on that you wanna eat yourself!! Yummy!!! Perfect for the winter it warms you up!!

I love this at first but it has such strong sillage and lasting power that it gave me a headache.It smells good-is just a bit too much for me.I will say the bottle is gorgeous though.I prefer Fancy Love over this.

A sweet and linear vanilla scent. Warm, cozy, good staying power too! But I think I'll pass - I enjoy perfumes that work around a dominant vanilla note, but I like the perfume to develop and change on the skin. A little complexity. You don't get much of this with Fancy, but it's still very nice. I'll stick to Burberry Brit for my vanilla fix :)

Got a high expectation on this fragrance..
just get my fancy yesterday annd i definetly excited to try it out coz i bought it blindly..i purchased it bcoz of all the positive reviews that i read in certain web..
when i sniff it,i..........a bit dissapointed
i tought it will smell a same category as pink sugar , fantasy or can can but it definetly different from those fragrances..yup,it more to matured sweet powdery sour scent..
i prefer can can,fantasy or viva la juicy compare to this scents..
it just ok,but not for me..

I can say that this one is too sweet for me. This scent and Midnight Fantasy has a lot in common, IMO. They are both very, very sweet fragrances. I think they smell good on everyone else, just too much for me to say love.

This beautiful bottle arrived yesterday morning- the magic of Ebay! Upon arrival it was imediately opened. I have waited a long time to snell this! The first blast of fruits burn off very quickly on me, and I am left with the beautiful almond/caramel & vanilla. Its a lovely sweet, warm smell - sometimes I think it has disappeared, but then get lovely little trails as I move around. This one is a keeper! Love it - dont find much in common with B.S. Fantasy - Fancy is a much lighter & softer scent - a great alternative on days where you want soft and sweet - and do not want the full-on Fantasy effect!

I've noticed quite a few people on here have bottles they don't want due to poor chemistry mixing with the fragrance. I'd love to take a bottle or 2 off of anyones hands. I have pay pal and I'd be willing to place an offer or something, just message me on here. I love this scent and would love to help someone take this off their hands. Thanks :)

My teacher back in elementary days said that Fancy smells like Electric Youth by Debbie Gibson. She thought that's what i was wearing last night hahahaha...
maybe both perfumes have the same drydown...

For me, you can't go wrong with pear and caramel; apricot adds some fleshy tones to the sexy mix. Gardenia is wonderfully creamy and feminine and jasmine brings it's delightful allure to the party.

Almond always adds a wonderful depth to gourmands, nutty, creamy, a little powdery--I really like it in combination with pear too. Sandalwood and amber make this warm and radiant.

Vanilla really adds to the sweetness and in combination with caramel pushes it a little over the caloric edge for me. Apply sparingly or it could be headache inducing.

We sold out of this everytime we got it in at dillards We couldnt keep it in stock if that tells you anything about this fragrance. It was in high demand... It really is a good fragrance alot of people are comparing it to fantasy by britney spears they do smell similar but I think fancy by jess smells more grown up and not so child like ,like britney's fantasy. I think its because fancy has more grown up notes in it that you find in more expensive pefumes like the gardenia

Well balanced notes nicely done! Can wear in office, or after 5. After xmas and after grown a liking to spraying the tester during various stores visits, I was lucky to find 2 small clearance gift sets. Love the fruits and vanilla blend, I would wear and recommend it. I gave away an extra bottle to my niece, she likes it too.

THIS SMELLS YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY

IN MY TUMMY........... WELL, MAYBE NOT IN MY TUMMY

BUT IT IS DELICIOUS :)

THIS PERFUME HAS A DASH OF BRITNEY SPEARS
"MIDNIGHT FANTASY IN IT"

THE REST IS ALL PEACHY, CREAM, CAKE

WELL DONE JESSICA :)

I bought it blind online, but we don't match.

When I wear it I truly feel like a little girl wandering among all the sweetest cupcakes and lollipops in a candy shop.

The vanilla is predominant in this one, mixed with some red berries, that unfortunately give it a bit sour and unpleasant note.

I definitely don't like sweet, sticky and edible fragrances like this one. But I love vanilla in perfumes though.
*

I really loved this scent! Every time I was at the mall I had to sample it! Its sweet and cakey, which is very fun and just beautiful! It lasts pretty long and it's really a great scent ...I fell in love. But when I finally got it for Christmas I realized that it just doesn't agree with me. It gives me headaches. I put it on my wrists right after I opened it and fell asleep a a little later with my head on my arms. I woke up with a headache. Every time I wore it after that I realized it was the scent that gave me headaches.

Jessica has a new Fancy coming! It's called "I Fancy You"! So cute! The bottle is a stunner!!! You can see it on fragrance . org. : )

Due to your good reviews i just ordered this one unsniffed .I am positive that this was a good move !

I adore this fragrance! I originally went in to macys to test fancy love due to all of the rave reviews but when I smelled THIS.... it was love at first whiff for me. Its smells sweet enough to eat but not sickening. The caramel & vanilla stick with me most here. If you are a vanilla lover this will be a nice scent for you with a twist.

To me, I reckon this is the PERFECT autumn/winter scent for gourmand/vanilla lovers. I love the smell of the inital spritz of the juicy red berries and apricot, the strong middle notes of caramel and almonds that is balanced out by subtle white flowers hence it's not cloying, and the dry down smells like vanilla cupcakes. So delish!

smelled good in the bottle, but i did not like this on me at all. something about it was too strong and funky. I can't explaint it, but it's wierd b/c i tend to like the vanilla-cakey scents. oh, well just not for me. I will be trying fancy love next. hope its better.

I absolutely love this fragrance!! It as a warm vanilla smell, and it last a long long time.

I love this fragrance, it smells like vanilla cake. The headnotes are not the best but the drydown is fantastic and it lasts and lasts and lasts.

I swear this fragrance is the smell of a warm cake. LOVE IT!

Wow! I love, love, love this fragrance! It's definitely my winter signature. I bought the full-sized bottle last summer at a buy-one-get-one-free sale at Perfumania, and I'm sooo glad I did. Upon first spray, it's kind of a synthetic, alcohol smell, but once it starts to dry down, OMG, delicious! Everyone knows me by this perfume, and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. Really good buy!

Very nice vanilla fragrance, but also nothing really special; it smells just like many other fragrances of the same category.

I agree with the previous reviewer: after the first ten to fifteen minutes, I get some smokey tobacco notes that gives a beautiful twist to the concoction.

Average staying power and sillage.

I like Fancy, but not as much as Fancy Love. If you wear Fancy you will smell like a cupcake.( a delicious caramel, vanilla and almond cupcake) To me Fancy is a fun perfume that you can wear occasionally. It's sweet but not nauseating sweet as Pink Sugar. To me Pink Sugar smells awful.

Im not too sure about this one i've had compliments that it smells nice it's just it give me a headache, theres something sickly about it but i still like it can't put my finger on it.
Smells very simialr to fantasy although fantasy wins as it doesn't make me nauseaus.

Fancy is a gourmand lovers dream come true! Creamy almond cake with fruity berries,pears and apricots in the opening. I don't detect any fruits at all on my skin. The bottle reminds me of a wedding cake too:) It smells sickingly sweet sniffed straight from the bottle. But, once it has had time to warm up on your skin, its yummy. Great for spraying in winters the golden ambrosia warms you up instantly.Nutty and sweet for the colder months.

I already have Fancy Love and decided to give Fancy a try. At first at the Macy's counter I thought it was too sweet smelling. I keep going back and smelling it and it grew on me. I just bought a little 1oz size, and LOVE IT! It smells almost exactly like Victoria's Secret Heavenly Angels Forever! Which is another one I love! I literally sprayed Fancy on one wrist and VS stuff on other and holy cow almost idential to me! LOVE IT. Now I want the biggest bottle they make!

i feel i have to protect this bottle not because it might break but because i fear ants may crawl into it and drink it.

I loved Britney Spears' Fantasy so much that I decided to try this perfume too. It's very similar to Fantasy, which is a floral-fruity-gourmand. I absolutely love this fragrance, more than Fantasy. The drydown is better. Fancy smells like a waffle cone topped with a scoop of caramel-swirled vanilla ice cream, mixed with cotton candy and sugared fruit--delectable! It's waaaaay better than Pink Sugar, which smells like gross, burnt, charred caramel. The caramel in Fancy is not overpowering at all, but blends delicately with all the other notes. The white floral notes add a fresh touch to all of the ooey-gooey sugar. Awesome cheap find!

I used to have this and used to like it but could not finish even half the bottle, because after some time I simply found it too sweet for me. It's more for young girls (teens).

Can't wait to get this one. Not too sweet, just the right amount of livliness in the burst of floral in between the melting vanilla and spice.A touch of sexiness and sultriness without being cloying.Love this.

I was pleasently surprised by this perfume. I do not really care about Jessica Sipmson but this smell is really nice. Like a delicious vanilla pudding with peach topping. Mhhmmm... This is quite a lovely fragrance. It lasts pretty long and is worth the money.
I recommend it to all gourmand and foody fans!

too sweet like hypnotic by Dior ,it will be a good for who loves caramel and sweet scents ..nice but i love pink sugar than that caramel scent :)

It is funny how a scent changes over time. It either grows in you, irritates you or is just there like an horizontal line ( meaning that you're just okay with it and it doesn't excite you )

I bought Fancy yesterday, upon the first spray I got juicy cupcakes and then cupcakes. I felt clean, comforted, young and innocent. Whenever I spray fancy it reminds of goodtimes.

Fancy smells sweet but not over the top and I adore the bottle it looks an antique glass.

Ok so I decided to give Fancy a second chance, and to my surprise I truly enjoy it now! Yes it is sweet, as most have put it cake sweet but that's what makes it yummy, a fun scent to wear!

This is another small sample bottle of fragrance I chose from all the sample selections that were on sale at BCF. I wanted to love this fragrance because for a large bottle it is very inexpensive, but...it is just too sweet for me to love. I like if from a distance. It smells really great on other people. Perhaps my chemistry will change enough to enjoy this small amount during the summer months.

This is a very nice, sweet, night and day scent. When first applied, I smell sweetness, musk and amber. As it dries down the scent becomes powdery and I can detect the yummy caramel. At the very base I'm left with a sensual vanilla scent. Fancy is a warm, comforting fragrance that most young women will love!!

I don't like the smell. I know it gets good marks ;) but I can't get used to it. The smell annoys me somehow. Maybe red berries mixed here do the trick, they don't fit. It's hard to say what annoys me because the smell is complicate and easy at once: you feel disharmony and harmony altogether. And imo it's gourmand, only gourmand, not oriental.
Sometimes I feel as if I smelled fermented fruit.
The bottle is very pretty.

the scent is sweet and yummy. i love it and one of her best perfume.

I bought this after a year of debate. I loved the smell on the card, but once on you just can't get away from it. It's very very sweet and rich like vanilla caramel, but not powdery. On an empty stomache it makes me sick, but I like it for evenings and every once in awhile. I think my husband likes it better than I do. Overall I like it and it is a comforting scent, but I wouldn't wear it everyday. One thing I can say is it lasts a very, very long time

Fancy Love and Fancy are my two favorite scents that I have and I can never decide which fragrance I like more. Fancy is definetely more gourmand, more along the lines of her dessert series than Fancy Love which I can't even put into a genre .. I just think it is absolutely divine. This perfume I would say is delicious. I think Vanilla fragrances are my favorite of all and this to me is the perfect vanilla fragrance since it isn't straight up vanilla, its vanilla, caramel.. everything I would think of in a delicious dessert. Some people don't like to smell like a cupcake walking down the street, but gourmands are my personal favorite scents and Fancy for me is the perfect gourmand. Staying power is delicious.. scent is along the lines of In Control by Britney Spears if I could categorize it.. it is a perfect gourmand in my opinion

This has been my signature winter scent for 2 years now and I am in love with it. I wish I could wear it into summer.The guys love it and I even catch myself sniffing my risk in the middle of the day. On my skin it last all day long.So if your into vanilla scents Im telling you give this a try. You will not regret it.

I'm surprised so many like this fragrance. Vanilla and carmel -- big deal. Smells cheap to me. I can't believe anyone would think this doesn't last long. I could smell it 9 hours after I applied it. Love the bottle though.

This one is so lovely, so cute and light. I really love it, but its too soft, i wish it to last longer.

I was expecting someting long lasting like pink sugar (wich i REALLLLYYYYY LOVVVEE).

But for woeking place this is better than pink sugar.

I'm loving it anyway... even if i have to carry the bottle with me to reaply :)

I mean it lasts 3-5h, but i love really long lasting perfumes.

I am not sure how I feel about Fancy. A part of me is very drawn to it, but another part of me is repelled. I love vanilla but this may be TOO much vanilla, and to me it does smell synthetic. I kept trying to figure out what else it is that I smell in it that bothers me so much and a couple other reviewers named it for me....tobacco. I can SMELL the tobacco and it is overpowering on my skin and for me, while it is intriguing, also ruins the scent. It's like a delicate lady smoking a pipe. Such a shame as I adore the bottle and blind bought 100 mls of it.

Although I know I shouldn't, I have to admit that I really like this. I first smelt it in a magazine test strip and liked it instantly. It wasn't released in Australia at the time and I made a special visit to a rather depressing Kohl's department store on my next trip to the USA just to get hold of it. You know, the type of place where the cosmetic department shelves barely have any stock. The perfume testers are all empty and those that aren't have had the nozzles stolen - can someone explain to me why do people do that?

Anyway, this perfume has a soft caramel candy smell with a hint of musk. Surprisingly easy to wear, although I'm not all that crazy about the burnt sugar opening, that dies down pretty quickly. The bottle is a sweet as the juice. And here's a tip for all of you Jessica perfume fans out there: try spraying this one over a squirt of Fancy Nights. They blend together just beautifully. You get the best of both worlds, and it keeps your nose guessing for the day!

This is by far the most sweetest perfume in my collection. A very powdery vanilla cake smell and the staying power is positively amazing. A very comforting scent perfect for winter.

this is much lighter then i thought it would be .
good but nothing special .
I get the fruts and berrys in the begining and in come the flowers . i can not detact so much of the sweetnes in this . no almonds to my nose. a little bit of vanilla fudge . but just a tiny little bit.
was ecpecting somthing stronger like Pink sugar

Maybe too much amber, lovely vanilla base. It makes me smell like cupcakes. There is good sillage and the perfume is longlasting. I can smell it far away from the skin and the perfume lasts for the whole day. I have to admit that I like the cupcakes and I like the scent of cupcakes lingering on my clothing.
I get the almond, which I adore! Almond is the note that I have been searching for in my recent fragrance purchases. Also, this perfume is so perfect as long as it is not hot outside. I actually think that this might be my favorite perfume. It is a good deal too. The fragrance seems deceptively simple, but is beautiful and perfect. It is just as good as my Kenzo Amour and beats my Lolita by Lolita Lempicka so badly.
It is something that I could wear, but could also probably give as a gift to a teenager.

Sweety, light and yummy. It smells like vanilla.
I tried it at the perufmes shop, i do like it
Will buy it next month.

This is such a nice fragrance! I absolutely love it! I was looking for something vanilla and sugar-like since I loooooooooooove sweet cookie like smells :) I went to a shop and tested it on my skin and it lasted for HOURS! It's been about 22 hours now since I've tried it and I can still smell it on my skin! Incredible :) try this scent if you like caramel, vanilla-ish scents :)

Smells like a cake with vanilla frosting and sugar coated sprinkles!
Delicate, light, soft, foody, sweet, delicious, smooth, vanilla, caramel, almondy fragrance!
It starts out oriental at first spray as it’s quite strong with an unusual mix of apricot and red berries but then after 5 minutes it then settles down and softens into a lovely warm vanilla scent. A great gourmand frag!
There is no better word to describe this fragrance than ‘comforting’. It is the kind of scent you want to wear in the winter when it’s cold outside and pouring with rain and you’re tucked up inside, snuggled up by a warm fire.
Great sillage without being overpowering, and very long lasting!
Don’t be put off by the strong top notes as it goes really quick and you’re left with a vanilla, caramel, almond scent that lasts and lasts.
Highly recommend this if you’re a gourmand lover with a sweet tooth.
Yumminess in a bottle! And we all want to smell yummy, right?

i bought 100ml for just rm140 online :) when it is on sale.

hi loveable...
In malaysia is quite expensive i think for 3.4 oz is bout rm260..I prefer it u buy it on Ebay..i only get the biggest bottle bout rm90

OKAY, I'M A CONVERT!

Fancy got a 2nd chance from me over the weekend, and I must admit, I was wrong the first time! I like it...enough to get a bottle. It can be a bit synthetic, even a bit cloying at first as originally thought, but it still managed to shine through all of that enough to give me a pleasurable blend of gardenia, vanilla, fruit & caramel. The drydown is the best. Everything just balances itself out and unifies to a glorious gourmand finale!

I guess late is better than never... I'm officially a fan of Fancy.

I tried fancy at CVS and liked the scent, Jessica Simpson's scents are usually a sugary-overload. On my skin, it at first was a strong vanilla-caramel, amber scent, but then it softened into a soft floral, vanilla almost musk like. It was not way overpowering, not at all a stinky scent which I regretted later buying. Not at all the case here. It was nice how my body's personal chemistry melded it into a soft, light, floral vanilla that lasted on me. I have heard some say stay away. I gotta admit for some, it is a cheap perfume, but for me, it is a pretty scent.

This is a good fragrance if you like vanilla.... period. If you're not a fan then avoid like the plague. It is syrupy sweet...... not for me, but I can definitely see where it would appeal to those who like a sweet scent. They do say that young men, in particular, like sweet smells..... :)

Last week I was walking down the school hallway (and I was wearing Fancy).Some boys walked behind me and suddenly exclaimed "Wow it smells good here" "It smells like cake""Yes, or vanilla ".... This is the response you get by wearing this amazing perfume! ;)

I just bought Fancy today! I am in love! At first spray, Fancy is a little strong. In about 15 minutes, I smell gardenia (and maybe jasmine) with a mix of almonds. In about an hour, the dry down is amazing!!! I get a sweet caramel and vanilla scent that lasts forever! I have had it on for 6 hours and can still smell it on me :o)

This is definitely a keeper for me!

reminds of alchimie by rochas ;)

Sugar and spice and everything nice!

Fancy achieves a great balance of showcasing the complexity of caramel without being to cloying and the spice and complexity of vanilla beyond the commonplace antics.

This is a very well made scent. I ADORE this scent!

This is a foody comforting scent to me. I like to wear this when we go home to our home in the Seattle area....drizzling rain, tea kettle whistling, fire crackling, wool socks and cashmere sweaters. I like to wear this scent when I miss my mom. It is not something I would wear everyday, but I think it is a scent that can transport you somewhere. The type of scent that you want when the whole world has been mean to you that day and you just want to climb under your covers and doze. :)
If you like this or are looking for something similar, may I also suggest: Flowerbomb, Mariage (Amarige), Vanilla Fields, or Casmir by Chopard. They all evoke the same feelings to me.

okay, believe it or not--but when i smell this all i get is palmers cocoa butter!!!
a very good thing, so comforting and sweet and delicious. lovers of l lolita, pink sugar, hard candy, flowerbomb, go on and give this a try. its a sweet tooth satisfier.

I don't smell Fantasy or Pink Sugar at all with this. When I first spray, the red berries on the top note is the most apparent, they are sweet and tangy and it smells lovely. Around an hour later I can smell the caramel and then finally the vanilla. This is one of my favourite fragrances, trully amazing.

I was stunned when I smelled this. It has its originality at first, but after a few minutes, I could not tell the difference between this and Britney Spears Fantasy. I have a very strong nose (not a good thing, it leads to migraines)and this scent had the same sweetness, strength, sharpness, and powerful lasting power as Fantasy.
So here is my review for Fantasy and Fancy both together:

I love sweet fragrances like Miss Dior Cherie. And yes, this is very sweet too. But It is a different sweet.

Not real food sweet like vanilla, honey and blood orange that can have a mouth watering effect. Its rather a fake sweet. And It LASTS and LASTS. It has great staying power as well as good sillage.

I would love to get a sample of this fragrance because i like the description of it , but i cannot find it here , in Romania .I am curious about its smell. Such a pity . Still , i hope that this one is not that kind of cupcake as in Fantasy - which is too nauseating for me , in spite the fact that i love sweet gourmand fragrances !

I was dancing with this guy at a school dance and he said that I smelled amazing! Like cupcakes:) That is what this perfume smells like. It is PERFECT for anything. If you want to smell like sexy cupcakes...buy this perfume!

The ingredients are more than respectable quality and they all add up to one of the most wonderful gourmand scents out there. Add to this a very pretty container at a good price and what is there not to like!

On myself, the rich vanilla, smooth caramel and gardenia mesh together in such a unique way from beginning to final drydown. Sillage is good but not overpowering and it lasts for hours on my skin.

When it's cold and rainy up here in the northern rainforest there's nothing better than a hot bubble bath, a dab of 'Fancy' and snuggling down with the guy who's been there for me for over 50 years, our books and, of course, our neurotic greyhound.

This doesn't smell like anything else. It is creamy, sweet and sexy! Oddly enough I think the caramel and almond notes come off as popcorn to me (which I like). My boyfriend really likes this one too!

I LOVE THIS PERFUME!!!!! I HAVE BACKUP!!!!

i bought this perfume for my mom's bday and OMG i am so in love with this perfume when i tried to smell it a lil bit out from the box! And somehow i felt like i want to have this perfume for myself and buy my mom a new one! haha the smell is really sweet and im definitely will get one of this for myself ;)

The fruitiness is nice, but it goes away quickly to leave you with smelling like buttercream frosting for hours. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it can insude a headache.

Fancy is my favorite casual/day-time vanilla-based gourmand scent. Delicate, soft and sweet, you will love this if you love caramel and burnt-sugar notes but prefer a lighter scent. I agree with reviewers who compared this to Pink Sugar, except Pink Sugar is more artificial smelling, stronger and has this bratty 'tween' vibe about it. If they were girls, Fancy could be Pink Sugar's more graceful older sister. Aside from caramel, vanilla, I also get a hint of juicy red berries and florals (weird, but I get fresh roses instead of white flowers!). Maybe not an office or formal scent, but great for any other time and best suited for girls and women below 30, though anyone young at heart can wear this well. Staying power and silage is not bad for the price, but is more impressive when layered with the body lotion. Btw I'm currently on a diet to lose a few pounds, and anytime I'm craving something sweet, I sprtiz this on my hankie and take a deep breath :P

Hi nvnwf!!
Fancy its way better than L!!!! L is just like Vanilla Noir from Bath and Body Works.. Fancy is beautiful an more complex.. LOVE IT!!!

Yes I agree with vlanns comparison, though I'd love to add that Fancy is more creamy, smoothier and fruitier than L. L is more spicy and slightly salty. Fancy is very warm which screams 'hug me' from beginning to end, while L has a bit more edge to it and is less monotone. I like them both...

@nvnwf
eventhough they are both classified as Oriental Vanilla, but Fancy and L de Lolita have pretty different backgrounds imho.

Fancy is like sugar sprinkled cupcake, while L de Lolita is like cinnamon-powder sprinkled cupcake.
Moreover, Fancy is warm and sweet without the tangy 'sour-feeling' that L de Lolita have.

I personally love Fancy, and detest L de Lolita at all. Maybe it's because I live in a place with high temperature and humidity, so L de Lolita just like a 'bottled headache' to me.

Hope this comment helps you out :)

please somebody help me ..
which the best between L De lolita Lempicka with this one ?

I've tried Fancy a few times. I guess the third time really is the charm. The first time I gave this baby a sniff I got a headache. The second time the fragrance smelt like vanilla and cough medicine. Determined, I tried again. This last time it smelt pretty good. I don't think I will be buying a bottle of this any time soon, but it's nice. It reminds me of cookies.

Gardenia overload.
I cannot sense any of the other notes. I love the scent of fresh gardenia, but this is so concentrated and overwhelming. I think I will take it to work and see if I can give it away.

just bought it nOw ,, amaizin creation of vanilla and caramel in a very strong formella .. sexy & sweet liked it alot :)

I don't find it synthetic at all. It's a soft and tender gourmand with a touch of fruit (clearly pear and apricot on my skin) at the beginning...somethimes I think csp vanille abricot should be just like this! The lasting power is great on me!

Its a strange synthetic sweet chemical creation?.. I can't stand it, gives me a headache. My 6 year old on the other hand - loves it? I actually do not think her Fancy Love is bad at all though..

I really like Fancy Love, but I hate this one. I love the idea of a caramel vanilla scent, and while this one does have that, it smells way too synthetic to me. It just isn't natural enough and it is way too strong. The only time I enjoyed this scent is after it had been on for most of the day and was wearing off it would have a very faint, yet warm caramel smell.

I am a sucker for foody gourmand scents and this is right up my alley. On me this lasts forever! I love this fragrance. My husband flips over this for some reason. To me it smells like caramely toasted almonds. I never really get any sort of floral or even the pear note that is suppose to be in this on my skin. It smells like a delicious dessert. Yum!

I bought this today, first of all im a perfume junky and i buy perfume at least once a week and i have never liked the sweet smelling fragrances i always used the fruity/ floral but i have been wearing delicious cotton candy by Gale Hayman and Pink Sugar and i really love them ( delicious cotton candy best) but they don't last long at all on the skin so i was trying to find a good scent that has vanilla in it that would stay with me threw the day and i researched a lot and came up with Fancy so i bought it i got the valentines gift set 3.4oz perfume 4oz lotion and a roller ball for $59 i think that's cheap for all that in my area...my impression is first i don't much like it but wait and it gets awesome... when i first spray it on its kind of sharp to the nose for around 5 to 10 min and i cant figure out what the notes are that make that smell kind of smells like dirt (sounds wierd i know) but then the smell is amazingly creamy in a way very scrumptious and then the last faze is also wonderful it smells like a vanilla cupcake or a doughnut....Very nice scent!!!!

This is my favourite perfume by Jessica Simpson. You can really smell the vanilla, caramel, and almonds. This is also very long lasting.

(This review is for Eau de Perfume).

FANCY was a pleasant surprise. I haven’t expected to find such a nice vanilla interpretation in the celebrity fragrance. The vanilla seems to be natural, delicious and not like synthetic sugar-overloaded frosting.

The fragrance starts with vanilla mixed with the red berries. The berries add this gorgeous, almost tart accent to balance the vanilla. The scent transforms into more floral vanilla in the heart notes. I do not get strong flowers in this fragrance. It think it is mostly jasmine. I do not smell much gardenia to my big relief as gardenia do not mix with my skin well. In about 1.5 hours the caramel slowly appears and mixes with vanilla. The fragrance at this point becomes more gourmand and sweet.

This is one of the best vanilla fragrances I have tried so far. The vanilla is very chic and elegant in this fragrance. It is not dark and mysterious but still very sensual. I think it will go perfect with the elegant silk and lace gown or lingerie for a romantic and intimate evening with the candlelight and soft music.

The sillage and longevity is good. You only need a light touch to get soft and nice effect. I sprayed it in the morning and the scent was still quite noticeable at 2PM. I would definitely recommend it for vanilla and gourmand lovers.

first of all i love love love the chunky handsome bottle with the floral swirls, the peachy-golden color of the cap and juice.
first spray is very juicy and foody, warm and sensual. very gourmand and niiice, no discusting alkohol or detergent smell in the top. like most of celeb-perfumes do have. topnotes followed by sweet white flowers, caramel and almond, soooo delicious in the heart well blended from top to base which is vanillic with nice smooth cedar.

its way quite similar to the first cathy guetta ibiza perfume but this one is more gourmand while ibiza is more in the oriental part.

really very lovely perfume - well done jessica! stunning sillage on me. longivity very good too! luv luv luv i m happy to have it and it will range in my fave dayfumes of course :o))))

Smells like a fresh doughnut from the bakery !!

I tend to avoid 'Movie Star' fragrances. For the fun of it, however, I sprayed some of this scent on my wrist when I was in a Perfumania store. When I smelled it , I thought 'OH MY GOSH!!!!'. I really loved it, and ended up buying it. I see some people saying it's gourmond, but I get a wonderful full fragrance that almost comes off as a sweet wood. I think that this is created by the caramel and sandalwood elements.

On me, the jasmine and the gardenia are more like soft ornament emphasising the the almost tobacco like fragrance of the caremel and sandalwood.
THere is a pipe tobacco called 'Captain Black Gold', and this scent reminds me of the sweet rusticness of the Captain, with the gentle florals.
As a feminine fragrance, this reminds me of romance, forests, and fine chocolates. I am fine with wearing this scent, smelling this scent, and even THINKING about this scent. On me, it has a balance that I really love that is deep, feminine, and golden.

I keep trying Fancy when I pass the tester in the store because it is so popular. But I just can't wrap my head (or maybe nose?) around this one. Normally I like sweet, gourmand scents, but there is something about Fancy that smells cheap. I suppose for the price point (I frequently see it discounted to around $20) it's a decent scent, but there are better, sweet gourmand fragrances on the market. Hanae Mori, for instance, is an amazingly sweet, cupcake-like gourmand that is miles better than Fancy.

I'm also not a huge fan of the clunky, chunky bottle, and the word fancy seems like a kind of ghetto name for a fragrance.

Victoria´s Secret perfume Stardust,who was made this year smells exactly like this one. They smells gorgeous ofcourse. I got Fancy as a test today because i read that Stardust would smell like Fancy, wich it does,i have Stardust at home too and love them both, so now i am going to buy a big bottle of Fancy =)

Cake! That's exactly what this perfume smells like. Smells so yummy like you just walked out of a bakery. Delicious! :)

I spraying some on this morning in the department store and at first I didn't like it, but now (8 hours later) it smells so delicious: I mainly smell vanilla, but more complicated and subtle. Very nice.
Update, the more I wear this, the more it reminds me (subtly) of sweet tobacco. I really can't keep my wrist from floating up to my nose.

Fancy is genius. I brought it blindly after reading the reviews and seeing the discounted price. It is a great scent that has lasting power. At first it starts off floral, and dries down to a beautiful vanilla gourmand scent. It is an EDP, so a little goes a long way. It easily lasts 8 to 10 hours. My husband loves the scent (after it dries), which makes it all worthwhile for me. What makes it even more genius is that it can be purchased at your local discount retailer, middle class women deserve to smell "Fancy" as well. At the price of it you are able to purchase a new bottle of Fancy as soon as it runs out. This scent is best worn during cooler months, and worn day or night. During the spring/summer the bees may easily mistake you for a fancy petunia. The house of Simpson has a winner here, and I look forward to purchasing this scent as well as others from this designer.

sweet...

I bought Fancy a year ago, and honestly it's one of my favorite vanilla gourmands ever. I always have someone tell me that I smell delicious when I use this. I don't think it smells cheap or artifical at all, and it makes me want to lick my wrist. I imagine that if the same juice was under a Lutens label no one would complain about it ( unless they just hate sweet vanilla florals)..Which to my nose is primarily what Fancy is, a dry jasmine affair with fruits on top, and loads of vanilla and amber grounding it.

Jessica Simpson doesn't stray too far from her dessert line of body products with this perfume. This is all about yellow cake with vanilla frosting and those little colored sprinkles. However, it's slightly more complex than just rubbing vanilla extract behind your ears--there's a faint tartness in the beginning that is unfortunately gone far too quickly. I love vanilla gourmand scents, so this hits all the right spots for me. I would have called it "Comfort" instead of "Fancy" though. If you prefer cake-like sweet smells instead of the cotton candy fragrances (pink sugar) or sweet kool-aid scents (Midnight Fantasy), then this would be worth a try.

This is my first review :) I have been testing this for a few months now...and I finally bought a 1oz bottle. At first it reminds me alot of viva la juicy, which I do like sniffed from the bottle but on me juicy it is a bit too strong and sweet. Fancy, after about 20 minutes, dries down to a smooth caramel and vanilla with a bit of almond. I like it.

I bought this one blindly, just based on plenty of good reviews about it and the vanilla notes behind of it. The first sniff didn't actually grow on me. I thought it was fruity, not something like vanilla. Then about 15minutes, the dry down really surprised me. I got the vanilla and caramel! It smells like burnt marshmallow and toffe apple. The smell is kinda sweet which I really adore. I haven't fully used the first bottle, however I already got the set which includes body lotion and shower gel. I have no regrets about this one eventhough I never really knew Jessica Simpson.

I remember myself testing this perfume every time in a drugstore. I wanted to buy it but the price for 50ml was to high for me. So I waited until it dropped to 20 dollars for 100 ml :)) and happily bought it. For me this is a very feminine fragrance and vanilla in it isn't very strong.
It was raining yesterday and my husband asked me what I was wearing. He said that this perfume is very delicious and pleasant though he didn't like it once I was testing it, for him it was too sweet :))

I just bought this perfume, n just so you know, this is the 4th time i buy this one. I really love this perfume, it's so lovely, i feel like dancing, it's so exotic. I really adore Jessica who could made a perfume like this. FANTASTIC!!!!

I really have changed my mind about this one. At first I thought I liked it well enough. I figured, "Vanilla based scents are like pizza. Even if it's bad it's still good, right?" I was wrong because this didn't do anything for me. NO staying power, just like Fancy Nights. And then I realized the vanilla is too artificial even for me. I guess after owning Lavanilla Pure Vanilla, nothing seems to compare.

P.S. Hard Candy is also better. Has similar notes and achieved what I think Fancy tried to do.

extremely longlasting but unfortunately it´s disgusting honey frag, which i can´t stand. a blind buy, which i regret alot. i passed it to my mother.

it is the best betvin the stars fragvences, my dougther juse somethime me too hi hi litelbit but its her fragrance and its very goog sweet litebit spyci i fell like and njamimimi

Just bought this, a 100 ml bottle for only $20! I'm really glad I did- it's going to be prefect for the upcoming cold winter and holiday season. I sort of grew out of gourmand fragrances, because I find they make everyone around me feel sick. But I heard this brings LOTS of compliments, so i'm anxious to see!

I can see how many people may like this scent because of its vanilla/caramel tones but for me this it too cloyingly sweet and gourmand. I generally like gourmand scents but with this one it just seems to stuff itself up my nose that I just can't get a respite. I prefer fragrances that show themselve once in a while and remind you that it's there so you don't neglect it but there's no escape from this one.

I do recommend if you spray this, walk through the mist instead of spraying yourself with it...otherwise it'll not only be giving you headaches but also people around you. Someone told me once that they just can't stand it anymore because it was too strong. Definitely not an office scent but I can understand why some may want to put it on to be nice and cozy at home in front of a fireplace in winter. It certainly does have that warmth to it but still not for me =/

Every time I sniff this perfume I want to have it. It's a very cosy, sweet vanilla scent. Has a good staying power.

This one is quind of different from all celebrities scents. I think its also very sweet, very vanilla, but has a quind off a cigarette smell that I really like. It ca be overly sweet yes, but applied with carefully its really cozy. Nice to wear at christmas. The bottle is also really sweet, but the name...who calls a perfume "fancy"??? Its just so redneck...
But..give it a try, its really nice :)

This is a very pleasant and soft sweet gourmand scent. On me I get caramel, peach, vanilla and berries with a hint of fresh white blossoms to keep the composition from smelling too syrupy...all those notes are balanced by warm nuances of amber to keep it all together. The scent stays pretty linear and quite simple but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Sillage is present and pleasant and longevity is pretty good (around 7-8hrs on my skin). Like someone mentioned it is youthful, yummy, and lovely without being too girly or 'teeny'. Great for everyday, daytime wear :D
NOTE: I find this to be a less 'obnoxious', less 'plasticky' and more wearable version of Pink Sugar (don't get me wrong, I LOVE Pink Sugar in all its loud sweet plasticky glory!), Fancy is Pink Sugar minus the strong cotton candy note and minus the citrusy top notes. So if you enjoy Pink Sugar, and want a calmer and more 'refined' version of it for daily wear, Fancy is it, both have delicious burnt-sugar/caramel nuances that I love, but in Fancy, the 'burnt-sugar' is wrapped in a veil of fuzzy amber, toned down and less in-your-face. If you are not into 'burnt-sugar' scents, you won't like this one.

A big thanks to Rou for sending me a sample of this one!

i bought this perfume without smelling. i just trusted the positive reviews and i think i did a good job:)i loved it. it really sweet. but when u spray first u may not like it.after staying about 5 minutes the perfume shows itself very well. i want to thank to fragrancex.com cos i only paid 30 dollars for 100 ml perfume and lotion and shower gel. no way i could find it in TURKEY. if you like sweet caramel vanilla fragrance thats for u..

I am not a fan of Jessica Simpson but this fragrance caught my attention because of its strong vanilla note. Well, this is what all the reviews had to say online so I bought a bottle online unsniffed.

As some of the other reviewers have noted there doesn't seem to be much difference between the base notes, middle and top ones and that the fragrance is rather even without any hugely discernible difference from beginning to end. There is some truth to this in that the vanilla is always there front and centre. The initial spray includes an abundant amber presence and I could swear I detect a bit of coconut but that isn't on the list of notes. The first time I wore this I thought there was some Play Doh but on the second day of testing this smell was (thankfully) absent. Once in a while I could swear I smell some fruit but then it's gone. The carmel note occasionally pops up and tempts me into wanting to cheat on my healthy eating plan but I manage to control myself.

This settles in pleasantly and inoffensively but always with lots of vanilla. This is a vanilla fragrance in all but name. Unless maybe "fancy" is how a preacher's daughter would describe vanilla.

I like it, which surprises me. Not just because it is a celebrity fragrance but also due to its uncomplicated formula. I will be slotting this in with my other standby autumn and winter fragrances (Lolita Lempicka and Ambre Narguille from Hermessence) because it will fit in nicely and without any fuss. Unless I get very bored by it I can see myself buying another bottle when this is gone.

I loved the dessert treats range. Who wants to smell like a giant cupcake? I DO!!

this is heavenly! any 1 know baby rose jeans (versace)?? i was looking for a replacement vanilla and this is it yay! i normally hate gourmand fragrances but wow! i am impressed but decided to buy j lo mini pack glo of 4 different glo but could have bought this instead (which is a better celebrity) and now im sad but ill buy her next pay day because i have no gourmand in my collection and i really would be glad to own one but have never been able to handle them

not really like this. just tried once then decided to give to my cousin...she wear this scent everyday, it smell so good in her, makes me want to buy new one for me.. i think should give this fragrance a 2nd chance.

oh i hated the cap..looks cheap & ugly..

Wow, after reading so many good reviews about this perfume, I decided to order a bottle online and I was so excited when it arrived.. But I must be honest. It smells so bad. It smells like burnt sugar and not in a good way.. I usually love sweet scents but this smells like sugar dissolved in alcohol and just gives off a synthetic cheap smell.

My Hubby hates it.. I hate it..


overall i found it cheap and tacky.

I'M SOOOOOOOOO INLOVE WITH THIS FRAGRANCE! I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF IT!!!

I tried this one out and it smells like a bakery with all the vanilla and sweet smells . It doesn't smell bad at all but it could bring on a severe case of the munchies and cause you to eat excessive amounts of pastry. It smells so much like bakery goods that it should be gourmand not Oriental.
Do not use around people who are on a weight loss plan.

I like this scent. I bought this without testing last year mostly because I read so many good reviews about it. It is very sweet vanilla mixed with peaches and other fruits fragrance. I wouldn't say it is very similar to Britney Fantasy, witch I like more. Overall it is good perfume but still Fantasy is much better. I don't think I will buy it again.

OK..BASED ON WHAT EVERYONE SAID..I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOVE THIS BUT THIS SMELLS LIKE TYLENOL CHILDRENS COUGH SYRUP..IT'S HEADACHE INDUCING AND I ALMOST THREW UP...

wow. words cannot describe how this perfume makes me feel. it takes me to another place spiritually...i almost feel uncomfortable saying that because that does not sound normal. there is no other perfume that rocks my world like this one does daily. they definitely got it right with this one. and the lasting power is remarkable. this is now my favorite perfume. its so beautiful, sensual, and delicate, not too in your face bold, but i feel extremely feminine with this one on. wow and wow again. and the fellas love it too.

yuk yuk yuk, i hate wen the girls at work spray this on such a plastic scent

I have already written a review on this, but just wanted to say a bit more. I have been wearing this insanely delicious scent for the past week, and have gotten compliment after compliment. It is a warm berry/vanilla/musk. Like a fantastic pastry shop. Its a bit sweet for the 95 degrees days we are having now, but who cares. In the cold snowy winter coming up, Fancy is sure to warm me up!

When I first tried this, I thought "Oh...another nice, creamy (yet boring) vanilla, how nice." So I walked throughout the mall as normal. But something about this kept coming back to me. It was so soft, creamy, but then I could also pick up a few of the berry notes! It's heaven actually. Thick vanilla cream, loads of caramel, with a hint of red berry and amber! WOW.

It's one of those scents that is not offensive. Just about everyone loves vanilla, right? I'm a teacher and I wear this to class. It makes me feel pretty, fun and flirty. JS really put her foot in this-No, like really, I can taste a toe nail ;) Kidding LOL, but I was really shocked at this.

Sillage is great on this, I'm happy to report for my sillage-whores such as myself. Lasting power is about 4 hours with sillage, and another 4-6 hours close to the skin. On clothing, you can get an easy 16-24 hours!

This perfume is almost perfect.. i wasn't a sweet cologne fans, but when i bought Fancy (i just bought it with blind purchase just because i'm a huge fans of Jess), i became a vanilla big fans, i'm addicted to this perfume... very very compliment maker :D

I really Love this perfume .. The scent is so nice & sweet :) <3

At first spritz,the berry notes and the combination of vanilla smelled great,making it not too easy to know about the scent.Then,in a few minutes,it is a warm sugar cookie or any dessert with plain vanilla in it,but it is very sugary.But in a few drydowns,it turns into a light soft vanilla.It lasts like 8-10 hours on me,so you shouldn't mind getting a tiny bottle.

beautiful vanilla scent.On me the lasting quality is poor.but,then im olfactory challenged!Somw fumes r for young girls,and,I think this is one.

Oh my goodness! This scent is crazy sweet. Like walking into a bakery full of fresh vanilla/caramel cookies and coffee. It's almost hard to wear this because its so amazing! I can tell you that a little goes a looooooooooooooong way. This perfume stays on for hours and hours, probably 12 hours for me. The bottle is also very beautiful. MMMMMM.. very nice indeed.

One should never form an opinion prior to testing a fragrance out on the skin. Granted, some fragrances don't develop into anything more than what could be sprayed into the air or spritzed onto a paper strip. Yet, most good perfumes will warm up and evolve once applied to it's wearer. A GREAT perfume will really settle into the skin and it's many layers will unfold. While most of us know this, I feel that this rule is especially true of Jessica Simpson's Fancy. Out of the bottle, Fancy smells like a one-note syrupy juice. In all honesty, I did not suspect that I would like this. I was pleasantly surprised. On my skin, Fancy is simply beautiful! It is softly sweet, fresh and warm. Fancy opens with a bright, happy mix of pear and caramel. There is a touch of "juiciness," which is likely the apricot and red berries. The caramel lasts throughout, with amber, toasty almonds and musk being the most detectable notes from middle to end. Fancy smells quite a bit like Burberry Brit, with the latter being more tart and tangy in the open. After about an hour of wearing both, (one on each arm), I must say that they smell nearly identical. With that in mind, Fancy is a more affordable, equally lovely alternative to Brit.

additional review!!! Gosh! eversince I recieved this from my husband i recieved nothing but compliments, everybody in my relatives and friends loves it! My friend, sister and stepmother are dreaming that one day they can also get one for themselves! My friend loves vanilla and she said Fancy has the most sophisticated and yummy vanilla scent. I tried Fancy's lasting power one night in one of my clean shirt, and guess what??? the scent lasts for 3 days and still counting. It also left a light golden brown color in my shirt. It's a total love for me because I love fragrance that lasts forever, I don't need to put a lot and that's a plus because I can save more of this perfume. It's worth every penny and it'll drive your men wild...my husband embraces and kiss me everytime I wear it! even my nephews said that of all my perfume collection, Fancy is the best for them! Can't wait to see and try Fancy Nights! If it's as lovely as Fancy, I'll definitely get that one and add it to my collection...also looking forward to get Fancy Love which is also very beautiful scent...

I just got this at macy's when I was with my cuz / baby bro and uncle I love it so much! You can tell all the notes right when you first smell it mainly the carmael vannila amber pear and sandalwood.

never heard of the perfume until today when at the store and smelled a sample and thought it was very sexy and i love it.. smells soo nice and yummy i give it 10 forsure

She will release Fancy Nights in the summer. Its in the same bottle as Fancy but done up in dark green this time. The notes are bergamot, Egyptian papyrus, Indonesian patchouli, Bulgarian red rose, Night Blooming Jasmine, creamy vanilla, soft sandalwood, amber and oakmoss. Its a spicy oriental floral. It sounds nice and something completely different from a celebrity. I cant wait to try it. : )

I have had this perfume in my collection since last summer and even though I have loved it, been a bit intimidated to actually try and wear it. I think I love it, then when I spray it have been overwhelmed with the sweetness.(this and gourmands in general.)

I am trying it again tonight. I have to say I love it! (shock of all shocks... was thinking of giving it away if I didn't!) :)

It is obviously a vanilla based one, but I have to say after realizing that I really love vanilla based perfumes and sampling different ones over the last few months, this one is done so very nicely! You just have to make sure to not breath in the spray in your nose, and let the wrists breath before you smell it. :) Because then it will overpower you with the sweetness probably.

My wrists smell like this lovely almond caramel praline vanilla cookie. Mmmmm!!! So very nice! And now that I have worked up the guts to be trying gourmands the last month or so, this one is nicer than all the other icky sweeties out there. It is sweet and yummy. But it isn't really chemically, or nauseating. It is very comforting and delicious but it is a light soft delicate vanilla once it settles into your skin. This is so feminine and I feel sexy but in an innocent, girl next door, just being your beautiful natural fabulous self ~ kind of way. :) And that is exactly what I like, a fragrance that is wonderful but allows me to be myself. :)

It is sweet but doesn't beat you over the head with it or make you want to gag. It is lovely, sweet, innocent, and sexy all at once. You will feel delicious wearing it and comfee cozy happy. :)

I am so glad I bought it and rediscovering it again! I might wear it all week! :) So very lovely and feminine. I can definitely seeing young teens, women and tweens loving the sweetness. But it isn't really icky or overpowering. Nothing you would get sick or nauseated by.

That being said... Just to note. = This is testing it in a way where I spray the air... and then waft my wrist through the spritz cloud. So I did not spray directly onto my skin because I was really afraid of being nauseated by an overpowering icky sweet concoction/ nightmare. So maybe if I sprayed it full strength it would? But I think as long as you spray in moderation and have your windows open, you will be fine.

I am sensitive so some of the chemicals in some perfumes, and I think if I sprayed it strongly maybe I would have a problem but no headache here! Also for those nauseated by some of the other badly done horrible icky gourmands, you will really like this one.

I am so very fussy and get turned off by a lot of them that are overly sweet. This one is lovely soft and nice. And older women would probably love it too. It isn't so little girl that it turns you off. It is delicious and comforting without being too sweet. Two thumbs up! :D

I agree this is a desert type of sweet fragrance. It`s sweet like vanilla icecream with caramel sauce and some spicy cookies. I don`t think it`s a sophisticated fragrance but something I would like to wear on a cold evening, on a couch watching a good movie. I could wear this outside the house too, don`t get me wrong. Maybe a casual dinner with the girls?

A truly divine fragrance. There are so many fragrances that has a very lovely bottle but have terrible scent...with Fancy, you'll never be fooled. The bottle is as sophisticated as the scent! It's DIVINE! I give it 10/10.

I Love Love Love this scent. The boy I was crushing on noticed it and complimented me on the scent. He hasnt been the only one as well. I was walking to the ATM and a lady behind me smelled it. She said she actually has the same perfume at home but it never smelled like that on her. Also I walked in a room and others commented on it, eventhough I couldnt smell it on myself. Thats a plus for me because I have bad allergies and cant stand it when I can constantly smell my perfume. I figure that when I can smell it it has to be too strong. So I guess it depends on the person and your body chemisty. Since I have been getting good responses from this perfume, I plan on shopping for perfumes in the oriental/vanilla family more.

This is a truely foody fragrance. Smells of freshly baked vanilla cupcakes with a yummy berry frosting. Actually reminds me of a less intense version of Fantasy. But Fancy manages to smell artificial whereas Fantasy does not. Once you get past the opening you are left with a warm and beautiful vanilla fragrance. I enjoy this and wouldn't mind owning a bottle. If you are looking for a vanilla scent with a little something extra then you would like this. ;') Has great lasting power and a moderate projection.

I tried this one and at first I thought it smelled great, with lots of vanilla. I'm glad that I waited for the dry down cause I really didn't like at all. It smelled like something had burned a synthetic smell. It smells very genetic nothing original if you go to BBW you can find a vanilla perfume that smells better for less money.

I really like this one. I find it to be a very lovely oriental/vanilla gourmand fragrance.

There is a lot of sweetness, but also a tartness. Like a caramel jam scent. I can smell the fruits, the pear, berries, rich caramel, and vanilla. I find some similarity to Pink Sugar, but I like this one more. It has a lot of more depth and is it is ultra long lasting.

It is a fun scent, sexy and very sweet, and I love sweet gourmand fragrances. I find myself reaching for this one quite frequently. Whenever I wear it, I do get good feedback from both men and women. I do not regret purchasing this one at all, and will buy it again.

Lasting power is fabulous on me, one spray on neck and wrists lasts me the day, and it is still there even the next day on my clothes. I find the sillage is excellent on me too.

Don't be swayed that it is Jessica Simpson perfume, she is a great girl with a million eyes following her every move...personally, I think she is talented and great!

Very happy with this one! 10/10 from me.

-_- this smell seems like little girl ate alot of candies or chocolate...smell terrible

I do NOT like it ! It smells just like Jessica herself- cheap,syntetic sweet,annoying and very very vulgar disguisied into a neighbourhood girlie that bakes vanilladrenched muffins all day long. Its so vulgar ,tha vanilla is not enjoyable att all - Yuck!

Sweet, sweet! Fancy is like a confectionery at a bakery, a sticky bun glazed in a thick layer of vanilla-flavored sugar. The jasmine blooms after about 20 minutes, but it's quite faint. This perfume is 99% dessert pastry, so if you love vanilla and sweet gourmand scents, this one is for you.

yay! im so happy that i have purchaced this perfume, its so yummy, and very girlie, its very sweet but also very fresh the bottle is so cute aswell and my husband loves it he thinks it smells like vanilla icecream...

it lasts about a day!i bought a 100 ml bottle and i quickly tore the pakaging open.i smelled it and it was fabulous!i agree with everyone that it smells like dessert.i also agree with sharyssa that it's a little synthetic but at drydown,its not synthetic anymore.the bottle is pretty.it will be best for teens and great to wear during the winter.i can smell red berries at first spritz but goes away in a few minutes.i like the fact that it also has a fruity side ;o

at first i smell red berries with vanilla,at the drydown i smell sugar,vanilla and caramel.sweet but a little synthetic...

I must say that Fancy was not a fragrance I expected to like, but I really do think it's a pretty neat little scent.

On me, it's a tangy, creamy, buttery, vanilla type confection. The first blast of scent is red berries and apricots. I think the berry is more closely cherry than strawberry to me. I love how almost every note is easily picked up in this fragrance! I can smell everything with the minor exception of the gardenia and sandalwood, which works for me.

There is just enough of everything in order for you to smell delicious without it being overbearingly sweet. Yay! I really like this for the winter. I woke up this morning not feeling so hot, it's cold, rainy, and dreary outside so I needed the fragrance of comfort foods today. Fancy really filled the bill. Try it, I think you'll like it. I rate it 8 out of 10.

Fancy 100% deserves its popularity - it's wonderful! The opening is a fairly typical explosion of fruits, but within fifteen minutes Fancy begins settling into a comforting foody almond. It's faintly nutty, faintly white-floral, but mostly sweet. The texture is powdery like Tocade, but Fancy is more straightforward about it. Whereas Tocade accompanies its vanilla with a complicated fanfare of roses, lilies, and patchouli, Fancy is a linear amber-caramel-vanilla. It's wonderfully balanced with a no-fail combination of notes; why can't more designers do this? So simple, but just the thing to warm you down to the toes and make you giggle.

I tend to dislike gourmands as an entire category, but there are a few that I like. Fancy is one of them. Maybe there'll be a bottle for me in the future :)

I've heard of Jessica Simpson, but not enough to form any bias against or for this perfume, which I guess was lucky because I've seen a lot of reviews disliking this perfume on the simple basis that it bears her name.

I saw this being reviewed in a local magazine and decided to give it a try since I've always been a big fan of vanilla scents.

What can I say? I love it! Topnotes, middle and base notes...all mixed to perfection! Like a beautiful song. (Pun intended, definitely LOL) Lasts for a long time too!

It's flirty, without being too much so. It's very womanlike without smelling too waif-like. And it's not too gourmand to smell naive.

Will definitely keep this one a staple on my dresser, despite it being a Jessica Simpson scent. I just hope they don't discontinue it.

I bought this today and I am pleaed with this.When I hear that Jessica Simpson has perfumes on her fashion line I know I have to have it,because she is very elegant,she has a good taste and I am a fan of her music.
I have other celebrity fragrances but this one is definitly just wonderful and FANCY.

This one is very fruity sweet in the opening, but not in a sharp synthetic way. It is soft and warm and beautiful. I wish the opening notes would last longer, i think after half an hour its pure vanilla! But its still a lovely and sensual sweet scent

Another vanilla frag that i love!on me peach pear caramel vanilla and maybe flowers.but soft on the flower side.verry well made.love it.if you want a nice vanilla scent with some sensuality in it.fancy is a good one*

I love this perfume! For me it's a happy scent...love the caramel almond scent...very uplifting.... = )

I bought Fancy today after reading the positive reviews here. It's really a wonderful fragrance that I can wear day and night. I tried other perfumes at the store counter today and this one is the only one that lingered and stayed long. I thought the scent is familiar to Britney's Fantasy, but Fancy has more to it that I like better. I sprayed Fantasy and Fancy on each of my wrists, the Fancy stayed longer and dried down so much better! It's giving me a calming mood and sexy feeling at the same time. The bottle is beautiful too, perfect for display!

A gorgeous flacon that kinda reminds you of an Alice In Wonderland tea party. The scent itself is practically Vanilla cupcakes with caramel frosting and lashings of sweetened condensed milk. There are mature attributes to this that prevents it from becoming like a "Teddy Bears Picnic" kind of scent.

A sweet, heady and comforting scent that gradually becomes nauseating after a while.

I have a huge bottle of this.It took me a long time to decide on buying this.But, I regret buying it.I don't reach for it often its very sweet and it is not very long lasting.I find it turns sour on my skin I guess its just me.It smells like dulce de leche its yummy but not very complex.I won't repurchase this again.

This one is really nice,very yummy,very vanilla & caramel,in my skin smell really delicious but i smell it in a friend and smell really diferent reminds a lot to burberry Brit drydown

I just recieved the 30ml today for xmas, and God I'm in love with this stuff. When I first sprayed it, it wasn't as sweet as I'd expected-it smelt alot like 'Chanel Coco Mademoiselle' so I was kinda thinking where's the caramel at? But then I re-applied a tad bit more and I started to smell like a caramel-frappacino-with-strawberries-and-cream literally. I must get the 100ml bottle, it's just too lush!

The bottle is gorgeous. will soon recieve it from my hubby..can't wait I love it!

This is lovely! It is quite strong at first for me but dries down quickly. This one puts me in a happy mood!

Grabbed up another bottle of this yesterday.Just cruising the perfumes at Marshalls and looked over and seen one 3.4 ounce sitting all by it's lonely! So I grabbed it and only paid $19.99.It is a bit synthetic but man when it dries down it sweetens and I mean sweetins up something fierce! Good lasting power I smell it everytime I put on my coat!

i likie! At first, i have to admit that i thought it wasnt going to be that great of a scent because not many celebrity scents are, but i was very mistaken. it lastss a really long time too

wow.... i am not one to say that i have a signature scent since i love so many. But if i were to have one, this is what it would smell like. warm vanilla and berries. how much better does it get? it doesnt smell like baked goods to me, its more or a champagne vanilla, which is what i like. in the dry down, it gets just the tiniest bit powdery. i trully love this scent. Im glad i re-sniffed it :) it seems as i get older i like sweeter and sweeter scents. crazy huh?

I have to confess that I love Fancy. Normally I'm not a celeb fragrance fan and I hate synthetic smell.

However, in Fancy the top synthetic fruity smell isn't that overwhelming and it goes away really fast and somehow I like it, I don't have a headach or nausea when it's Fancy.:-)

The mid and base notes are what make me fall for it. It smells like creamy cakes and candies, (I've got a lot of vanilla, caramel, but not too much floral scent)which makes me think about carefree childhood and grandma's cookies.

To me, Fancy is rather a cute gourmand scent than an oriental vanilla.

Even though I love Fancy, I wouldn't wear it too often because to smell like sweets and cakes isn't my thing, but I usually spray it in my room and the scent always make me smile.

Such a comforting perfume! worth trying or maybe just get yourself a bottle(to me, it's not expensive, especially when it comes to the large bottle :-D).

Very nice sweet,light amber scent IMO. Not a sickenly sweet scent though and lasts throughout the day on me.

This smells exactly like Napoleon Perdis suntan mousse...right before it goes bad

Good lookin out Mandashell I went to Target lastnight and bought the giftset! I was searching high and low for this at a good price and finally got it! Thanks! I like this one it is lighter than I expected but it is long lasting,I was so anxious to wear it I wore it to bed and woke up still smelling it. A very feminine caramel scent reminds me of L de Lolita Lempicka but lighter.

A warm scent really does remind you of vanilla cupcakes with lashings of caramel. Not a childish scent - but it isnt serious enough either.

you'll be easily fed up with the perfume, its tedious and irritating after a while

this does not at all smell like pink sugar. i don´t like pink sugar, it smells very artificial and you get bored with after like a weak.
fancy is not a "teeny" fragrance, at least not to me. it´s very warm with a lot of vanilla and caramel. absolutely lovely

O.k. I'm not sure about all the fancy layers I should be picking up on this but I did decide, about 30 minutes after putting it on, that it strongly resembles guava juice. Very sweet guava juice. I thought it was "interesting", my boyfriend made me wash it off. Hmmmm......

This perfume is a very good scent, I was pleasantly surprised the first time I smelled it, it's a very warm vanilla-caramel-cupcake concoction with some toasted almonds thrown in there which keep it from getting too sweet. It smells so much like Viva La Juicy to me (especially the drydown) and it has way better lasting power than Viva La Juicy. I disagree that it smells like Pink Sugar or Fantasy. This is one of the best celebrity perfumes out there in my opinion.

boyfriend loves this on me. i thought that since i LOVED this one that i would like pink sugar when i smelled it. so i went to macy's and had it sprayed on my wrist and i didn't like it at all. fancy is warmer and more "grown up" that pink sugar, in my opinion. if you like sweet, vanilla type scents, you'll probably like fancy :)

I finally bought a bottle. I adore this perfume. Soft vanilla and caramel, like a candy. But sexy and sweet, and a little bit of innocence. When I wear this it makes me feel pretty. And that is what a perfume is for.Well done Jessica Simpson.

People keep saying this smells exactly like Pink Sugar, and I see the resemblance but at the same time, they almost smell nothing alike. Fancy has almost a sexy and seductive quality to it that I do not think of at all when I wear or smell Pink Sugar. I absolutely adore this scent. It's so feminine and just an elegant understated sexy fragrance. I always get compliments when I wear this scent, especially from men. It's a beautiful long lasting fragrance, I definitely recommend this one!

For all you Fancy lovers: The giftsets are out!! Was at target tonight and saw one that included a 3.4oz perfume, 1.7oz body wash and a 1.7oz lotion. All for the low price of $29.99. So if you love it then you need to stock up while you can!!! ;'D

I really really love this perfume so much! It smells so good, like warm vanilla cupcakes out of the oven. It lasts a long time too. I'd put this on at 8 in the morning and I can still smell this later on in the evening. It's an amazing sweet scent.

This does smell exactly like Pink Sugar.

Despite the two smelling very similar, seeming that Pink Sugar isn't readily available in Australia, this for some will be unique.

I really love the sugary sweetness in Fancy, although for some this will be quite sickening. You've definitely got to have a sweet tooth for fragrances like these.

Fancy is quite warm with a gourmand, dessert like quality. I sense a lot of apricot, caramel and vanilla, which together makes an adorably girlish and pretty fragrance.

I must repeat that this isn't for people that dislike sweet scents or gourmands. But for those of you that love scents of this kind, Fancy and you are sure to fall in love.

I tested this one at Priceline today, I went to Myer first but they didn't know that this perfume existed. (from Australia). I usually walk right by the celeb perfumes but after reading the reviews on this one from this site, I thought I would give it a try.
Wow. Yum! I love it, so sweet but in a cosy, delicious way. The pear, gardenia and caramel/vanilla are just gorgeous together. The dry down is a silky vanilla. So cheap too (doesn't smell cheap though), AU$64 for 100ml in Priceline. I think I might ask for it for Xmas, I have already bought 2 perfumes this week :)

EDIT: Bought this a few days ago. GOd I love it. Best perfume I have ever owned, it puts me in a happy mood when I wear it.

I have been checking tj maxx and marshalls for the 3.4 oz and none in sight yet I am glad to know they will be $19.99 I was expecting them to be $29.99 being that the 1oz bottles the had there a while ago were $19.99.I am excited and I am wanting this one so bad!

I just bought this yesterday at TJMAX for $20(3.4oz)! I luve this. At first when you spray it, it seems like it might be too sweet, but when it dries down its soft om skin but i still can smell it especially the vanilla and caramel.Warm and cozy!

Starts off as a very pretty scent with fruity and vanilla tones. Very sweet and cupcake-like. After about 30 mins the fruity smell leaves and all I am left with is sugar, vanilla, sugar, vanilla, sugar....and did I say vanilla? It stays for hours and hours and becomes annoying. I don't know why, but all sweet perfumes with vanilla dry down to pure sugar on my skin. None of the other notes like to stick around. If the first few notes in this perfume were to stick around I'd LOVE this perfume. Since it doesn't I can only say I like it. However my husband loves it! I wouldn't wear this every day as I would soon get sick of it, but every once in awhile I will spritz it on. It's still a lovely perfume overall.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Jessicas Fancy!! Just found the 3.4oz at TJMaxx for $20!! How awesome is that!! I bought it for my aunt. Shes gonna LOVE it!!

I can't say enough about this wonderful fragrance and constantly have people asking me what perfume I am wearing. The bottle design is whimsical and I can understand why Jessica being a Texas gal called it Fancy... as it reminds me of simple Southern charm.

I absolutely love this perfume and was hooked from the instant I first took a whiff of a sample of Fancy that I found in a magazine.

I don't know why some of the critics of this perfume say it is too sweet since the top notes are fruity the base note is a powdery light vanilla. It is not overpowering at all and I have never gotten so many compliments from men on a perfume that I am wearing as I did with Fancy. 5 Stars!

hi does anyone in the uk know where i can get this from, thanks

Yummm this is goooorgeous i can defo smell vanilla! and the caramel i think..im not good at recognising notes! It smells like cookies and cream :) but in a nice fragrance way not like a walking bakery! The smell is strong and it seems to last a long time everywhere i go i catch the smell on me even if im just turning my head or playing with my hair..that might get annoying as its so sweet but so far i LOVE it. This is a joint fave with ed hardy now :D

The bottle looks very unoriginal. The scent was very very sweet. Too much sweetness in a bottle. I felt nauseated after awhile.

Like the way this smells but i noticed about 30 mins after application, i had 2 little bumps break out on my neck. hope it's not because of the perfume cuz i really like it. Smells vanilla-ish and seems long lasting.

smells great, like freshly baked cupcakes. the only thing is i dont wanna smell like food. i might even cause myself to crave cupcakes if i wear this. i'll pass

Yummy^^, this smells like candy, It's like a toned down version of pink sugar. Soft and sweet. I can smell vanilla and caramel. Love the scent. Its strong and longlasting.

i smell it on a magazine a long time ago, n i't a lil bit shameful but i like it! it's sweet, but not makes u headache.. i thought, it's just another celeb perfume, u'll forget it. but it is nice. when i saw the fragrance notes, i thought "no wonder i like it". i love almond, love amber, love vanilla, n they r blended well on it.

I like design bottle very classic and arrogant. This smell sweet and charming.

When we first got this perfume at work, I though I wouldn't like it enough. Turns out, I've been wearing this for three days straight... Which is absolutely unusual for me. Wonderful! I looove vanilla, and this one just turns me on somehow. Haha!

I like this but I couldnt wear it everyday..it would give me a headache...but its ok to wear every now and then

so i finally got to test Fancy Love yesterday at macys. it was nice but nothing to go crazy for. it smells like ed hardys Luck & Love, Chloe by Chloe, and Burberrys The Beat to me. i perfer the original Fancy way, way, way more. but if i ever find it for a cheaper price ill definately buy me a bottle.

I love FANCY!!!! Every time I have it on many people ask me what fragrance I have. Is worth buying but for a good deal.

I usually tend to stay away from vanilla based fragrances. However, I just love this perfume. When you first apply it to the skin, it smells very fruity and sweet and you could really smell the pear. After 20 minutes or so you could smell the caramel and vanilla with hints of floral notes(jasmine). Also, this fragrance has a long lasting power! This is a great fragrance to wear during holiday season!

Thanks so much APassionateJourney!!! Im really looking forward to this one! Ure always in the know and r always testing things way b4 anyone else! Lucky U! So Siren wasnt that great? Have u tried anything else new? Lola, Couture Couture?

@kenberlyc

honey, go ahead and wear what you like! you know that saying: "you're older, not dead". ;)
i'm sure it'll suite you just right if you wear it with the right attitude ;)

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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...

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.

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. After learning alot about fragrance...This type of scent is simply loved by men, most of them aren't craving a floral or oriental on women. It's the food scents that gets to them most of the time, and makes them come in closer.

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.

It truly smells like a bakery...but it's not for me..

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)

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..??

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.

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...

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!

If you like sweet and yummy scents,like caramel or vanilla...you will love this one!!

I sampled this and I was shocked that I actually like it...smells so delicious!!

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.

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.

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.

This fragrance is so light and so yummy! I love it!

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

smelled it in a magazine sample. was almost nice, but something cheap and sanitized about it.

Smells like candy and cupcakes. I have a sample size vial I would love to trade.

Overpowering candy smell, not bad, just overpowering. Has amazing lasting power, if nothing else.

This smells like desert. The caramel and vanilla are the primary notes that pop out at me. Its very soft and feminine.

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.

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!

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.
