Fancy Nights

How bold of Jessica Simpson to attach her name to a fragrance that seems to debunk and slap the celebrity fragrance trend across the face in the biggest way. I have smelt the first 2 fancy fragrances and whilst they are great they all stick with the DNA of the typical celebrity fragrance but Fancy Nights stands out as the Bad Girl of the bunch. She's a bit of exotic, a bit gothic, a bit dangerous and she always gets noticed. I love Patchouli in most fragrances, I love it in this perfume. It's a wild riot of earthiness and warmth, with truck loads of Patchouli that have the stamina to rival most niche-patchouli scents that I have smelt. Don't Judge it based on the name on the bottle or the first 2 Fancy's that have come before it because this is a true gem of quality and composition that seems to have gotten lost in a market full of "queen-bees and wanna-be's". Lasting power is fantastic, if you spray to much- people on the other side of town will probably smell you.

Super sexy-unbelievable scent. I had several recommendations from the ladies on Fragrantica and as always they were right! Hard to describe how amazing this perfume smells. Its one of my favorites..

I'm starting to use this perfume this winter. This is very strong and according to my husband very sexy and addictive. The citrus in this is very pleasant and the patchouli rightly dosed. However I have used this once in summer and it smelled of wet earth and was knocking people down left,right and centre. This is a winter and fall perfume.

Hm.

I sprayed myself with a Fancy Nights tester at Gordman's last night, as I love woody/spicy scents and I'd heard good things about this perfume.

Firstly, let me say this lasts forever. This has lasted nearly twenty-four hours, though now it's very faint, vanilla-sweet on my skin.

I would go for this in a minute because I love patchouli, but. There's something in this that smells very disagreeable to me. It isn't rank, but something far too sweet. Sickly-sweet like marshmallows dipped in sugar and then in syrup. I've no idea what this might be--there's nothing in the notes that even vaguely suggest it. At any rate, whatever this is takes something that would otherwise be lovely into something that I really don't like. And it lasted for *hours.* I know it wasn't some other perfume, because my wrist was bare and I only test one perfume at a time to avoid confusing them.

I'll try this perfume again, because maybe something was just off that day. I'd like this very much, otherwise.

I got this on a whim and at first I thought it I liked it. Not so much.
I am not a huge fan of patchouli and there is a lot in this. It smelled like licorice when I first smelled which is why I bought it, but now... The patchouli is just too strong and overwhelming.

Ok im not a perfume snob (thank goodness or I'd miss lots of cheap but good perfumes) but I'm obsessed with perfumes and i do like a quality perfume!! A perfume does not have to be $100+ to be good quality or smell good! And just because it cost $100+ does not mean it smells good!
Anyway....
Wow!!! This stuff is nicely done...from the bottle to the juice!!
The bottle is beautiful...it looks vintagie to me...love the color green with gold and the detailing.
The juice....I am not sure if I love it just yet but i have the same feeling for most perfumes...but I do like it and I appreciated a lot on top of all my other perfumes (and I have black orchid, angel, alien, white patchuli and more)
Lol when I put this on I feel like I'm an elf princess, who is the protector of the forrest lol i imagine it smells like a Forrest would smell like. It's smells like I was digging in the dirt, carving into trees, and picking strong smelling flowers like roses and jasmines! I like when I put on a perfume and my mind runs wild and it makes me feel a type of way (in a positive way that is) that's when I know a perfume is good for me!!!

When I first spray this, I get the most amazing whiff of citrus tree leaves but it fades and faints nicely with the other notes..I detect the patch (which I noticed I like in my fumes)...I believe is patch as to me patch smells a tiny bit menthol and pine cone like...I detect woods, something musky, and faint flowers...I smell roses and jasmine! Yum

This reminds me of the way my mom's room smells...like jean Nate and scented body powders!

At first my nostrils were insulted, it was too strong...I like strong scents but this was like a punch in the face!!! However, after a few seconds it mellows and then it is lovely...it doesn't change much on my skin but as it fades, it turns more musky and powdery.

I am so impressed with the Longetivity...I sprayed this like around 8pm on my wrist and in the morning when I woke up, it was still lingering on my skin and not faintly!!! Which never happens on my skin...on my skin fumes disappear extremely fast!!
Furthermore, I find this fume a tiny bit masculine...which is right up my alley!! But this fume is all woman...I mean a man can wear this deffinetely without smelling womanly!! It's sophisticated, strong, and lovely...I don't know if it's sexy yet as I have not being around men yet...my husband hates most perfumes...I mean the only times he said to me I smell good was when I had on Amber romance from Victoria's secret and Another time when I was wearing Noa...however...the guys around here are used to fruity flowery bath and body works or VIctorias secret, juicy couture...so I doubt they will appreciate perfumes as like Fancy Nights.
I sure like this a lot and hopefully I will love it soon as I realize that happens a lot...I go from I don't like it to oh ok, to it's nice, to I like it, to I love it (but I hardly ever love a perfume).
I concider this a weird beautiful perfume!!! Just because of what people wear around here tsk tsk

It's easy to imagine why this fragrance has garnered so many negative reviews. Must be quite a shock to anyone who approaches it expecting your typical celeb-u-scent!

Like other posters here I have only the haziest notion of who Jessica Simpson is, and was drawn to trying this by the mention in other reviews of heavy patchouli and the comparison to Chrsitian Lacroix C'est La Fete Patchouli. Also of course, it's cheap to buy. I'm ever keen on getting bang for my buck.

In fact I currently have both the above fragrances on, one on each arm. While there are simiarities they are not actually that much alike. They both open with very evident patchouli but whereas C'est La Fete has a really filthy patch note going on, Fancy Nghts is much more gentle and refined in comparison, to my nose at least.

Fancy Nights has quite a bit of sweetness which somehow comes over as a little fruity to me. The florals are present but rather in the background.

There's something very light and "white" smelling which I suppose may be the papyrus. I don't dislike it and it adds interest.

I think the main difference in quality shows at the end, where C'est La Fete turns into a divine sandalwoody concoction which has me continuously sniffing at my wrist, while Fancy Nights just fades politely away.

In the same way that I think C'est La Fete punches way above its weight, Fancy Nights is an extraordinary fragrance to be associated with a celeb like Jessica Simpson. Of course she almost certainly had nothing to do with its creation apart from lending it her name and collecting the royalties. I wonder if she even smelled it before it was launched? Sorry to sound cynical, but much as I would like to say "Well done Jessica" I really believe it is unlikely to have had anything to do with her personally.

Anyway, to sum up - very interesting, very unusual for this type of product, well worth checking out.

I like the smell. It goes beyond those "nice" perfumes that " do ont offend anybody", which I usually appreciate. It is very sexy, I would say sexual. I see it on a provocative woman in her 30s, in an elegant restaurant. Yet..like all the other Fancys I've tried, it does not stay. I sparyed it and my very first impression was..wow, kind of too much for going to office in it. In 20 minutes it became very pleasant. In 40 minutes to an hour there wasn't much there. In 2 hours..no sign of perfume anymore.
The other Fancys...behaved even worse.
Yet, the bottle is very nice..:)

'Is this like "fancy for him" like the guy version of the original fancy?'. This is what I said when I smelled this for the first time. Then I searched the box to find a indication of which sex this was meant for - seriously. but even for a man this is still bad. the sent is patchouli, patchouli, patchouli add in a dash of a heavy wood sent and even heavier sappy amber, stick it in a green bottle and you got Fancy Nights.

LOVE this perfume. A year ago, I hated it, but now I just think it's fantastic. I love the sweet, soft, vanilla/amber drydown, and of course the patchouli (and I guess papyrus-what the heck does that smell like?) adds such a nice sophistication. And the price, man it's impossible to beat! I got a 1 oz EDP, 1 oz lotion, and 1 oz shower gel in a giftset for $9.99 at Ross!!! So in love. It does go on strong, but then it softens and becomes so yummy and delicious. I would wear this for a night out anytime! And I wouldn't worry about it smelling cheap, because I don't think it does. I think it smells a bit expensive actually. I'm sure it could rival a few well known, more expensive, similar scents! Wish I had tried the Prada so I could compare!

Purchased on sale at Shoppers, one of the few Oriental gems among their mostly fruity/floral 'clearance' priced offerings. On me, the patchouli and rose are initially dominant, almost fighting for the upper hand. After a while, they co-mingle, and are joined by a bit of vanilla sweetness and amber warmth. I think this is a wonderfully balanced fragrance, with reasonable staying power.

I was gifted Fancy Nights by a wonderful swapper. It is one of the best fragrances I have smelt recently. Do not judge it because it is a celebrity scent! This is a quality fragrance.
Many people think it is similar to Prada Amber. I agree there is a similarity but Fancy Nights is a tiny bit smoother and sweeter due to the presence of vanilla. No bitterness as in Prada Amber. Consequently it is easier to wear. It is a very sexy scent with a moderate sillage, but most of all it is very comforting. Un coup de foudre!

Found this at Ross for a good price so I decided to treat myself to a blind buy. Fancy Nights is a heavier scent than I would normally wear - a little goes a long way so beware (one light spray is plenty for me)! But I have to say that I like this perfume as an evening scent. It's feminine, sexy and bold all at the same time; the dry down is nice - powdery, sweet but not at all timid. Great sillage. Not something I would normally wear (I usually wear lighter scents), but something I probably will wear when I'm in the mood for something different.

This is seriously one of my favorite powder/incense perfume! Why did I wait so long to review it? I really can't put words on this one, so fabulous it is to me! This is gorgeously put together. The perfume has the same texture as baby powder, but smells like incense and old books that you once sprayed some Shalimar kind of vanilla on it and let it stay for hundred years.

Ah, sounds like I had the exact same deal MaddieClfd had; 3.4 oz for around 11 euros. I bought it unsniffed, edged on by the polarized reviews this fragrance inspired (begrudging respect/complete love/total hate). Now that I've tried FN a few times myself, I'm ready to add to the pile!

First off, I'm not a patchouli lover. I like patch as a supportive player, but after my Neonatura Cocoon fiasco I decided that patchouli as a main player was just not for me. Fancy Nights has made me reconsider this stance a bit, because the patchouli in this smells classy, warm, a little powdery and old-fashioned, even a bit oriental! It just takes me back to memories of my grandmother's house. That is not a bad thing; she was classy and quite modern! To me this perfume smells classical.

The only thing that keeps it from smelling great on me is also what makes it so precious: the papyrus note (I think). When I press my nose to my skin there is a somewhat stale paper note there, which only strengthens the association with my grandma's room; she had shelves full of books, and her wallpaper smelled like this note (yes, apparently I sniffed walls when I was a kid).

I'm not sure how I feel about Fancy Nights. The paper note both ruins and makes this scent for me, because while not completely pleasant, it does remind me of my awesome grandmother. I also feel like this scent is somehow not complete...like it's lacking a final ingredient. That detracts from the quality for me. But I'm crossing into the realm of Ridiculously Subjective now, so I'll stop.

I truly applaud Jessica Simpson for trying to do something new by doing something old-fashioned. Although I think the formula COULD be improved upon, I haven't seen (or smelled) any other celeb do it better :)

As far a the bottle is concerned; the glass bottle is okay, but I dislike the matte plastic caps on this and Fancy Love! They look so much cheaper and cruddier than the metal ones on Fancy and I Fancy You.

I blind bought it, 100 ml for £9.99. I had a quick look on here, reviews saying that it reminded people of Prada sold it to me. And I waited for my bottle to arrive, keeping my fingers crossed, hoping not to get disappointed.
I'm not a fan of J. Simpson, I'm not even sure who she is - honest, some blond celebrity, yet another one. I just don't care really. I do like the fact that celebrity perfume exist, some are quite good and the best thibg about them - they are usualy cheap.

So my bottle arrived - I tested it straight away - yes, it is similar to Prada, but not like Prada. It isn't a twin of a much more expensive fragrance, but it there are similarities. Opening - very similar to my nose. But after a few minutes it develops in a different way, sweeter, after an hour or so again becomes cery similar to Prada.

I do like patchouli, amber and I do like Prada, I got to like this one too. Longevity is very good, I honestly don't know about the sillage. I could smell it on myself and I think there wad a cloud of fragrance around me. It will do me as an every day prada, and the original will be saved for better occassions.

I guess it could be classified as colder weather scent. Nice, happy with it.

Jessica Simpson really surprised me with this one. This perfume is very dark and mature, a big departure from her usual candy-like scents (and somewhat ditzy personality).
I honestly hated this the first time I sampled it on a test strip and thought it smelled like men's after shave.
After reading the reviews here, I had to give it another go and give it time to blossom fully. I did a blind buy of a full bottle online and am ultimately NOT disappointed at all.
The dry-down is beautiful, just beautiful. It congers up images of me being in a mysterious, magical forest at night with the moon beaming down....while dressed in a long, flowing princess dress with a unicorn following me and fairies fluttering by a pond. Ok, ok so this is one of my guilty pleasure perfumes. But I just love it when a perfume is capable of making my imagination go wild like this. It doesn't happen very often.
I love the mixture of patchouli, papyrus, myrrh, vanilla, moss, amber, and sandalwood. The only thing I would change is the longevity since it doesn't last long enough for me (or maybe I'm too spolied by Thierry perfumes that last forever?).
Hopefully this doesn't get discontinued (but with my luck, it will...). This is one of the few celebrity perfumes that I will fully endorse. In fact, it's in my top 3.
Also, I learned from this perfume to never judge a perfume by first sniff, or second for that matter. Give it time to unfold and reveal it's true self! :)

Update: I'm still loving it several weeks later, but I have noticed that the longevity is even worse than originally thought. Oh well, it's cheap enough to be able to buy it more often :)

I purchased all "Fancy" fragrances. This one is not my favorite, yet I love it though.
It's very woody, creamy, warm and seductive. Patchouli is very present.
It reminds me of Agent Provocateur fragrances. This one is better for mature and confident women.
Very good longevity.

The papyrus makes this fragrance different, but I'm not sure if that is a good thing. I agree with the other reviewers that this is a surprisingly mature fragrance for a celebrity, particularly Jessica Simpson (remember the dessert line?!?!?). My husband hates the smell when I first spray it, and I have to agree with him. The drydown is better, but I feel like it should almost be layered with something softer. If you're looking to buy, Marshall's typically carries a large bottle on the cheap.

She walks into the gallery. She's a bit more than fashionably late. She only half-cared about going to the "vernissage", it's on some sketchy industrial street in the middle of nowhere, Brooklyn. A pain to get to. She looks for a place to drop her fur coat (a family heirloom) while keeping an eye out for a glass of wine. There ought to be some left. She pretends to look at the paintings. She's a bit bored, or "blasée" as she says. She doesn't even try to mingle for she knows people will come to her, they always do. She's wearing a $39.99 H&M cocktail dress, but on her it looks stunning. Her lips are painted red, as always. She's not the prettiest young lady there, but she stands out. Men notice her, women give her that look.

She goes up to the artist, an old acquaintance, to congratulate him. He stares at her for a moment. They've always had this lingering attraction for each other, but never acted on it. "You smell amazing, what is it?" he asks, truly intrigued. "A lady never reveals her secrets..." she answers with a flirty wink.

Truth is, she'd never admit to wearing a Jessica Simpson fragrance!

I picked up a bottle today on a whim at a local discount retailer for $10, figuring "Hey, it's $10!" and vaguely remembering that I'd thought the notes it contained were interesting when I'd checked it out here some weeks ago. $10, I thought, is an acceptable risk on a blind buy - especially considering that I risked nearly $70 on a YSL gift set in the not-to-distant past. WOW am I glad I took that risk!!! This scent is, while not quite on par with Chanel or YSL, quite good. It is well-blended, balanced, has great longevity and silage, and is an incredible bargain!! I must confess, I didn't expect too much from a celeb frag, especially given JS's ditzy-gal image (which is great, it's just not ME). I am quite pleasantly surprised, and this is an instant date-night favorite for me! As others have noted, Fancy Nights is very patchouli-rich, heady and dark. The opening is masculine and harsh, but within minutes a wonderful transformation begins and the fragrance morphs into a woody, balmy, powdery, slightly spicy taste of heaven. Silage with just a spray is decent, projecting arm's length for more than just a couple of hours. I sprayed a good 5 hours ago and it still projects at least 4 inches from my arm - even some of the high-end fragrances in my collection don't do that, except maybe Opium. I can't believe the bargain I got on this, and am not sure why it was marketed as a celeb frag instead of by a higher-end company. It is that good. Definitely a keeper, and I may seek out a larger bottle to make sure I never run out!! Great job, Ms. Simpson, on snagging a bombshell of a frag for your line!

If there are more tester bottles in front of me than the number of my wrists, then celebrity fragrances would not end up on my skin, but there was a lone tester in front of me at a no tester kind of store, so I did a couple sprays on my left wrist....and it was mostly what I expected from celebrity fragrances - good in a common, mediocre way. It was smooth, sweet, cozy, warm, and very powdery. Powdery almost like vintage perfumes which I love.

However, under all the velvety smoothness, there was something not good about it. I can't recall exactly what it was, but all I know was that it was NOT elegant. Just a little too "something".... which made me furrow my brow. I wish I could be more specific, but I was out running errands and did not have time to sniff every 5 minutes nor pen and paper ready to jot down every thought. I'm not opposed to testing it again if that lone bottle is still there the next time I''m at that store, but I will probably be too distracted to stop what I'm doing to analyze it.

I love this as previously reviewed but it has suddenly struck me, this is almost identical on my chemistry to Shalimar.

Although I did end up purchasing this fragrance, I did not like it when I first tested it. And I am still on the fence about it. The scent made me go 'What the hell?!'. Patchouli is one of my FAVOURITE notes ever, but in my opinion, it has to be balanced in order to work, considering it is such a strong note. Thierry Mugler's fragrances always have a variation of sweet notes to counteract his signature patchouli-gourmand scents, but this fragrance is just patchouli, patchouli & more patchouli! It has male cologne qualities as well, I could picture this from Guerlain, marketed towards men & many buying it. But as a celebrity women's perfume, it deeply confuses me... Especially since Jessica's last 2 fragrances prior to this were sweet & floral. This took an interesting turn and it is yet to grow on me, but for the moment, I am liking it. For the true lovers of raw, earthly patchouli, do not be deterred by the name on this fragrance. It is certainly not another generic fruity-floral blend!

* Just an update on my previous review above, I wore this fragrance throughout the week, and oh my god, the compliments I got specifically from the male gender! They go crazy for this fragrance. I have no idea what it is! Some told me I smelt really good, others asked what I sprayed in the room, and some even wanted to buy a bottle!
It's amazing!

I recieved the fragrance set as a gift. I wanted to love it, I really did, but honestly, the smell made me gag!

The first offense was the patchouli, it smelled synthetic rather than woodsy. The other offense was the overwhelming powder scent that continued to linger even *after* I showered! I don't know how to say this without being crude, so I'm just going to say it: the smell reminds me of the unwashed elderly women who come to the doctors' office trying to cover up the unfortunate fact that haven't bathed in a month...

Like I said above, I really wanted to love it, especially as it was a gift, but I hated it so much I couldn't even bring myself to give it away. Instead, I ended up throwing it aweay.

Very masculine patchouli laced gracefully with bergamot and vanilla, the quality here is surprisingly good for the price that you pay( $17.00 Dlls. for a big bottle!!!)i can´t believe that i like this so much, it can easy be priced at $90 dlls. with a heavy glass bottle and become something like: Vanilust Pour Homme with no problem.

90/100
RIYL : Midnight Poison, Narciso Rodriguez Him, Opium Pour Homme

I really wanted a patchouli fragrance and I got it! Wow! The oakmoss is very present also. Not for the timid. On its own I probably wouldn't wear it, but I layered a white floral fragrance over it and its lovely, great for adding depth.

I bought Fancy Nights at a bargain of around 21 usd for a 100ml edp bottle, so I figured, not bad for a blind buy.

Are you sure this is a celebrity fragrance? Are you sure this is one by Jessica Simpson? The bubblegum popping, boot wearing, blonde bimbo? Do not judge a perfume by the name of the celebrity slapped on it, then! Fancy nights is incredibly complex, sensual, sophisticated, and oddly, deeply comforting. Two half sprays on each wrist last an incredible 6 hours on a cloudy day like today. Fancy nights is strong but not overpowering. This balmy incense and patchouli fragrance starts on sharply upon first spray, and mellows down after 30 minutes. Smooth, warm, powdery and slightly sweet, if velvet had a smell, it would reek of Fancy nights.You can call it the poor girl's Prada Amber, or Shalimar on a budget. I can imagine wearing this with a black lace dress and high heels, with a neat updo and darkly rimmed smoky eyes.
Underrated, brave and a real standout--totally a departure from the generic fruity florals that flood the celebrity perfume world. Well done!

What fruit? I don't get any fruit notes on any kind, just the patchouli with other earthy foresty notes. I have to admit that I was afraid of what was going to come out of that bottle after I read the reviews, but at the same time I was very curious so I bought it. It was not half as bad. When I first sprayed it on my wrist it was a woody masculine scent, but not really like pinesol though I understand the comparison. The oak moss and the papyrus makes it smell like a forest at night. Then after 20 minutes on my skin it turned into a soft powdery woody scent, slightly spicy, that was now acceptable as a woman's fragrance, expensive smelling too. My husband said: "It's OK" (He only likes Floral-Fruities). Believe me he would say it's atrocious, if it really was. I like it because I have 101 Floral Fruities and I wanted something different. This is comfortable and cozy and it reminds me of playing Hide and Seek with my friends outside at night, around the neighborhood pine trees.

Fancy Nights is a heavy (but not highly projecting) fruit-chouli fragrance on my skin. I believe this is owing to the papyrus and bergamot which never seem to fully ease out of the opening notes stage. Sadly my nose could find no vanilla, amber or sandalwood in continued wear. In that respect, Fancy Nights is somewhat of a three-note linear fragrance that promises interesting depth but doesn't quite deliver.

I'm still looking for it..

Though I am not sure of the notes (i'm a flowery/mango/coconut fan), but i'm so in love with the bottle.. And i would buy it just for the bottle while praying the scent will work on me.. :D

Anyone would like to donate the bottle for me? :D

Benjoin is not listed, but, I get a lot of it in the drydown. It is one of my favorite notes along with patchouli.

just bought this fragrance set online without even test it since this fragrance not even available in malaysia... i dont know how to describe this perfume.... whether to like or hate this one.. to me its too powdery, not my kind of perfume... upon first spray its smells so masculine, like mens fragrance... somehow after half an hour the smell become smooth..i have to admid this fragrance smells expensive with luxurious bottle but still not my kind of perfume..gonna give it to my mum..

This is a weird scent that definitely required patience on my part. I picked up a 1 oz. bottle and I'm glad that I was able to test it before buying a large bottle. The initial blast of fragrance with this is very harsh, there is something almost sour going on here. I've never smelled papyrus but I'm guessing that is the culprit. I was worried, I had made a horrible mistake and regretted putting it on. After about 20-30 minutes this becomes a totally different fragrance. It's suddenly warm, fuzzy and comforting. The patchouli and vanilla appear and gone (though not completely), is the sour note. This is a surprising scent for a celebrity to release, Jessica Simnpson did not go the expected or easy route with this. I can't say I'll buy a full size yet, but if you've got the patience to wait out the initial blast of sour, this turns into a wonderfully cozy scent that has great staying power.

i just love the exterior of the bottle.what a great combination of colors; emerald green and gold. since the bottle caught my eyes, i did a research about this perfume here in fragrantica and also in youtube. the positive response was really helpful. but before i purchase it i need to smell it first. i don't wanna take a risk by blindly buying it online since i was almost convinced that i'm never gonna find it here in my city. so before i buy, i smell it first in a fragrance store at another mall. my thought upon testing for the first time is that i don't hate it. now that's a good sign. anyhow i bought it retail with 50% discount. wow!! what a great deal that is. even at the store i did see plenty of this FN boxes. got me thinking doesn't anybody luv this perfume??.. anyhow the next day i give it a try so i can give my own review. testing on card or paper doesn't do any justice.
so here are my thoughts: i have fallen in luv with patchouli. this perfume is either you will hate it or love it. to even like his perfume you must like patchouli first. since i'm not familiar with how patchouli smells, i started to like it because of this perfume and it's really pleasing to my nose. the dominant note here is definately the patchouli. you can smell it from the first spritz till the dry down. there are papyrus and woodsy note which make it smell more earthy and woody and to my surprise, fresh too. it's also powdery but not like a baby powder which i just hate.. then after sometime the middle notes are starting to pop out here both the flowers, that is rose and jasmine which if you smell it along with the other notes just make you wanna go crazy over this but in a good way. the dry down you can smell the vanilla but not in the sweet kinda way. this fragrance is strong and the longevity is good that can lasts up to 8 hours or more. however on my skin the silage is just moderate, which is not really that bad cause you don't want others around you to be uncomfortable with the way you smell. i don't consider this to be a sweet perfume. if you love something sweet or any typical fruity-floral scent, then FN is just not for you. in terms of when to wear it, definitely during the night on a fancy occasion.
my suggestion to anybody who wants to buy this fragrance,please try it out first and hope you will love it just like i did.
=D

On initial spray it was a little overpowering, and heady. However it dries into a nice powdery evening perfume that envokes thoughts of exotic locales. Nice!

Woohoo I really don't get all the negative hype. Maybe it is not everybody's cup of tea but it is not that bad.
It starts off really balmy, it almost has this vintage wibe but much more modern. Then, when it settles down it smells like dark, powdery chocolate. The drydown is pure amber, very close to the skin. I was afraid of the papyrus note, thought it is going to be bitter and too green but it mixes really well with the whole aroma.
I also don't understand why the sillage raitnigs say it is heavy. I don't find it heavy at all... maybe in the first 15 minutes you can smell powdery chocolate around you but after that - it settles down on your skin and becomes really "thin".
Lasting power? I wasn't impressed. Not more than 5 hours on me. It is a lovely afternoon fragrance. Graet for going out with the girls after work/studies.

This perfume is the best deal I have ever gotten. A 3.4oz gift set with lotion for $25. The scent is great patchouli and vanilla. It dark and soft at the same time. It starts off heavy with the patchouli but softens with the bamboo and vanilla. There is a small floral very light, the vanilla and wood are the heart and base notes to me. I really don't smell oakmoss which I was disappointed on but it's pretty well lasting also. This is my first Jessica Simpson scent. worth it. Recommend it.

I dont have this but I tested it one time and I have to say this gets my liking for being so different from Celeb frags! Jessica Simpson has amazing taste when it comes to perfumes, you either may like this or hate this..

personally I think this scent is amazing! Despite who this perfume is created by, it can pass for a darkish Gothic scent, or maybe something that would remind you of walking through a dark, earthy green forest in the middle of the night

imagine yourself in a beautiful whimsy nighttime setting with the moon full walking through a damp lush green forest surrounded by trees searching for the secret garden of roses you heard from the fairytales in a book you read, the deeper you walk into that forest you finally reach the flower garden that happened to be planted by the Fae of the night then all of a sudden you wake up and realize the forest and the rose garden of Fae was all a dream.. or this could also remind you of a concoction a beautiful witch of the night has created

=P thats what I imagined when I smelled this at least..BTW this can be used on males as well as females..

I accidentally received this instead of Fancy from a purchase I made online. At first sniff I'm comforted but only because it smells like my beloved grandmother who is now passed. Unfortunately, that's not a smell I wish to re-create for myself. It is a very patchouli, papyrus, oak moss with resin/amber undertones. It's almost androgynous/unisex. I will give it a proper trial when I feel like it and update it but as of right now it's a hot mess of granny perfume..

Based on the reviews I really really thought I would love this and paid a substantial amount for postage from the USA because I couldn't find this perfume in Australia, and I knew I would just love it and HAD TO have it. But to be honest, the little wafts I get from this perfume get up my nose and annoy me. Although saying that this perfume is not particuarly strong and nor really stand-out, it's just an irritating scent somewhere in the distance. If I put my nose right up to my wrist and smell carefully it does have a familiar scent to it that somehow reminds me of my ex boyfriend or something I associate with him/where he lives (Bali), I can't figure it out. But that is only if I smell closely, otherwise it's just an annoying musty smell without any excitement to it.

Me gusto esta fragancia pero debo advertir que es fuerte! No es una fragancia para chicas muy jovenes ni para usar todos los dias. Es fuerte y seductora, con mucha personalidad para justamente usar en noches especiales. Me gusta pero no para uso diario, recomendandola para mayores de 30 años. Comprendo las malas reseñas aqui dadas, porque muchas fans de Fancy son publico joven y desean un remake del original mas apeado a ese mismo genero (ojo, uso fancy desde el 2008 y lo amoooo) y al ser tan diferente, muchas estan diciendo que no es agradable y huele a abuelita, pero no es asi!

I found a set of 3 minis at Burlington Coat Factory on sale for $12. The set contained: Fancy, Fancy Love and Fancy Nights. I don't usually buy celebrity fragrances but the reviews here were so good I thought I'd try these scents.
I really wanted to like Fancy Nights. However, on my skin it just didn't work. At first it smelled like a harsh men's cologne but I gave it a chance (I wore it for 3 hours.)
The dry down smelled like one of those fake pine tree air fresheners you hang in your car. I washed it off and I could still smell it after 2 washes, a shower and application of a different scented lotion and perfume.
So, if you're one of the lucky ladies this works for, the longevity is great. Unfortunately, it didn't work with my chemistry.

very amazing, this stuff is a near EXACT dupe of Emeraude AND Shalimar, and I see my opinion has been cancelled out despite multiple similar reviews. With all the crazies on here and a much better hobby newly found- adieu!!!

Well, I decided to buy this today for the same deal that mimikins24 before me got at Shoppers. I got it because it is completely different from my other perfumes and I knew it was something my husband would like. I had only smelled it from a quick spray in the air at the store. I used it tonight before going out and wow, on me it is straight up Tabu! Ok, I havn't smelled Tabu in many, many years but this brought me right back to my youth sneaking little sprays of my moms bottle. After a couple of minutes I get a whiff of the green notes and then it settles into what I imagine a Tabu shampoo would smell like. I think I will wear it now and then when going out at night.

I have not tried any of Jessica Simpson`s other fragrances, but I must admit I am quite impressed with this one.

This scent was not on my radar until I saw a gift set on sale after Christmas at Shopper's Drug Mart. It includes a 100 ml EDP, a 7.5 ml purse spray and a lotion --- for $19.99 --- so I looked it up on Fragrantica, saw all the positive reviews and took a chance on it.

What a wonderful surprise!! The opening is a bit heavy on the alcohol, but it dissipates quickly. I then get a citrus and green scent, which is the bergamot and papyrus, respectively.

To me, the heartnotes are really the patchouli, amber, vanilla (light) and sandalwood. Patchouli remains the dominant note.

As the scent dries down, I begin to get the jasmine, and the oakmoss emerges, creating a dusty and almost vintage feel to me. It also serves to cut the sweetness of the patchouli and jasmine, so this does not take your typical overly sweet celebrity scent journey. I only get a hint of the rose, but not until at least 1 hour into wear.

I really must say this is a homerun. The bottle is very sturdy glass and attractively simple. The scent is very nice and much more complex that the run of the mill celebrity fragrance. Unlike many less expensive scents, this one is not linear, but rather developes nicely through the notes.

My only caution is that it can be too heavy if applied liberally, but this is easily controlled as the sprayer is quite good as well. Great full day longevity. I would happily pay double what I did for this fragrance.

Fancy Nights is one of my favorite scents to wear on a fancy, yet, casual night out on the town. I wore this on New Years Eve when my fiance proposed, so now this fragrance has a special meaning in my life, because I will always remember New Years Eve 2012. I wore it to the Copper Queen Hotel in Bisbee, Arizona, where we stayed, and the bottle and box matched the hotel's decor... Which was very Victorian style.
You have to really like patchoulli, papyrus, and bergamot to like this scent, because those are the dominating accords in this fragrance. It's very warm and spicy that projects well, and is one of the most long lasting fragrances I've ever owned. I recommend only spraying 1 or 2 sprays on your wrists or behind your ears, and definitely only 1 spray on your chest if you are only going to wear it more externally. It's very long lasting that leaves a faint trail on your clothes the next day. It's obviously only suitable for at night, on a casual or formal night out. I think it's a great unisex fragrance, that's very unique, bizarre, and mysterious that comes in a very gorgeous bottle and box.
A job well done, Jessica!

I just received this as a blind buy and was anxious to try, with high hopes. The first spray reminds me very much of Shalimar or Emeraude, which is not at all what I was expecting.It seems the names of Fancy and Fancy Nights are mixed up, as this is the one I would wear to work.I detect neither woody notes nor patchouli, both of which I usually like. I would describe this as a more green scent suitable for spring. I like it, but its nothing unique or compelling so I'm glad it was about 7 or 8 bucks and I will probably not repurchase.

Just bought this because it was on sale at Shopper's for $20 for the 100ml EDP, tiny purse spray, and 150ml body lotion. And it does NOT sit well with me. I think I might not like papyrus. I don't find it very woody, smells like really strong Jean Nate, and is not my style at all. I feel a tiny bit sick. Very hard to describe the notes. No Amber and no Vanilla to my nose. The regular Fancy EDP is so much better IMO. Fancy Nights is not sweet, but still manages to be cloying. Love the bottle color. wish somebody could swap me this for regular Fancy or Ciara....

I got Fancy Nights for Christmas from my sister because I had asked my other sister for Fancy Love, and she figured that I might want the other one too. I got the gift set with lotion, the mini spritzer, and the full sized bottle.
So I had read the reviews on here, and I was a little apprehensive in trying this.
But, WOW, I really like it. I smelled it in the bottle, and it smells like incense that I used to burn. I tried the lotion first, it smells kind of smoky with patchouli and I think that is sandalwood. I didn't get a lot of vanilla.
The spritzer stuff is stronger. It does smell a little masculine when first applied, but it wears down (at least on me) very quickly.
I use one light spritz on my breast bone, and then I dab a light amount of lotion on my pulse points...that is enough to last the entire day. You do NOT want to go stronger than that.
I'm still going strong after 11 hours, and my sweater from yesterday still smells like Fancy Nights.
I wore this to work, and I got several compliments. and Nobody complained that this was overwhelming.
This fragrance reminds me a little of a spicier version of Thierry Mugler's Angel...only with vanilla instead of chocolate.
I really like both scents, but I'm a fan of patchouli. I think you have to be a fan of patchouli to like this scent.
I'm very pleased with this. I've actually worn it more than I've worn the Fancy Love, and this is the fragrance that led me to try Angel.
Does anybody think this resembles Shalimar? I'm never got to try Shalimar, and I have always wanted to.
Edit: This is the first fragrance I've ever bought a back-up for. I really love this stuff!

I hate this smell...too manly in my opinion...when I smelled it, I honestly thought Jessica came out with a Fancy men line...disappointed :-(

I don't like this fragrance. It smells like black licorice. I prefer sweeter scents. the bottle is really nice though, I love the dark green coloured glass.

It's a amazing perfume. It's a Toilette version of the Prada Amber

Well, Goodness! What can I say? I have read infinite reviews on every fragrance catagory I can rouse into my aromachemical brain.
I find all perfume reviews so very intriguing! I often feel I am reading a review on a completely different fragrance from a multitude of fragrance families, Such as Fancy Nights!
I believe our sensory perception goes beyond "our chemistry", however that is a huge factor but more so ~WHEN~ you wear fragrances that carry particular notes and materials. For example pre-menstrual, ovulation, pubescence, menopause, etc.. Our own chemistry evolves as we evolve, as one note in perfumery can mutate when a simple molecule repels or attracts them from or to one another.
The other factor is emotional, based on era/trends that relate to ones inception to fragrance. My inception to perfumery began in the 1980's, my reviews will likely be stacked against original formulations of Dior-Poison, Calvin's Obsession, YSL-Opium, etc.. ~Now to review Fancy Nights.....
Elusive~in that it holds some pretty signifigant weight in depth, longevity, and accord transition in correlation with other mass market fragrances of this "era".
Beguiling~Fancy Nights has a nebulous innocence, complex in an ideal manner. Civil but won't brown-nose.
Immersed~ in a sophisticated composition, not the expected fruity note of most celeb inspired fragrances. Not a single detection of a pungent floral.
Fancy Nights is quite lovely and in my opinion easy to wear whenever/wherever you so choose. The low price is a bonus, rather than the factor~in today's perfume formulations.

today i went to the mall with my sister.we went to the shop of reserve naturelle-a french fragrance and cosmetique shop.we have it here in mauritius and france also.my sister was at the checkout counter and i was browsing and i found a perfume called patchouly by reserve naturelle.i tried it on my wrist and immediately recognised my beloved fancy nights.the resemblance is superstrong and i even made my sis smell it-she is not a patch fan but she recognised the resemblance.so now if i ever run out of fancy nights,i can get my dose from reserve naturelle.their products are longlasting.wanted to share this with anyone living near a reserve naturelle shop.the price is super low-less then 25dollars for a 100ml bottle.no waiting time for me who always has to order from england or us.

I bought this scent blind based on its notes and these reviews, and I am not disappointed! I am a patchouli lover and this fragrance really delivers--it is an earthy, slighty musty patch, and I can't get enough of it. The drydown is warm, dry and spicy, but my favorite part is the bergamot in the opening, it reminds me of sipping Earl Grey tea on a rainy afternoon while being wrapped in a cozy sweater. This is a winner for me.

i prefer the original Fancy, the sweet caramel/floral one..i am used to Fancy and find it more wearable..

however, Fancy Night is very memorable..definitely a dark night scent..smells really strong and longevity is incredible..can be offensive if over-applied..the bottle is gorgeous and the scent screams a high-end perfume..the patchouli, sandalwood and incense notes in this perfume are very noticeable..if you can pull it off, it's a true bargain

i am really surprised by the quality and i understand why it is a gem to some perfume lovers..however, it is such a strong woody scent..way too mature for me

I bought this just because it was really cheap. But do I really like it? Well, for a celeb fragrance, it's "different" and a far cry from the original. A for effort on that. It's very balmy, sweet and creamy which I like in a way. But as I try forcing myself to completely like it, I find myself repelled by what smells like raid. Anyways, I'm excited to be smelling papyrus for the first time. Bug spray aside, there's something very comforting yet powerful & mystical about this scent. All in all, if you love it and don't smell raid, you're lucky!

This is a bit of a change from the usual JS line.
It seems to be one of those perfumes that you will either love or hate, but IT WILL leave an impression!
It starts out as a rather strong patchouli scent that dries down fairly soon to a milder spicy oriental fragrance. I thought that the first time I wore it, I would never like it, but after trying it again, and learning to wait for the drydown, I actually like it much better. I still need to be in a bit of a mysterious, sultry mood to wear it, but I can see how it would be the perfect scent for a very strong woman who knows what she likes and stops at nothing to get it.

To start off this review on a positive note: Kudos to Miss Jessica for trying something different. However, I have mixed feelings on this one. I purchased it (blindly) because it was heavily discounted at TJMaxx, and was almost certain I wouldn't be disappointed because I like her other fragrances. I returned home, sprayed it, and was immediately taken aback by how strong and unpleasant it was. I knew it would be a heavier evening time scent, but all I got was old lady (and not like my granny, she smells awesome). Anyway, I waited for it to dry so I could give it a real chance. The dry down was less harsh, a little more floral, and somewhat sensual. If someone walked into a room wearing that scent at its dry down, I wouldn't think "that's awful". So, in my honest opinion, it gets a little better. Maybe tolerable is a better word. In the end, I ended up giving it to my mom because it's still not for me.

I picked up a bottle of this on a whim and after smelling the bottle, decided I didn't like it. I then read some reviews here that described it as wonderful after the initial application. So I tried it on and within 1/2 hr I was in love with it. It definately has a deep lasting scent that seems to move between patchouli and a soft powder. I did not notice any jasmine as some described. This is definately one of those fragrances that you have to wear once before you decide. Simply spraying it onto a card and waving it infront of your nose for a second does not do it justice, as I have just learned.

It reminds me of Dune by Dior(above).

When I wear this I feel that I belong in a Lambada video (think J Lo - on the floor). Or maybe somewhere in Aladdin.. Mmmmm my favorite little place to be.. :)

bought this yesterday which i was torn between reb'l fluer rihanna and this... i went for the very complex and unique scent
yes the opening is so potent, very overwhelming and in fact the patchouli smell different than i normally used to or maybe it's the papyrus (never experience any papyrus before). to me after awhile this however reminds me of the middle eastern attar in a good way
once it settle into your skin it smell very nice, it's mild and very ambery & sandalwood..it's a beautiful warm scent
it takes time to develop its character and it has to be a bold & confident woman wear this fragrance..
i'm going to enjoy this fragrance in our tropical rainy season now (wish its a fall/winter instead) :)

I didn't even realize that this fragrance existed until I saw it on this site! After reading the reviews on Fancy Nights, I had to buy it. I have had fragrances with patchouli notes before and I know I am a fan of warm woody scents, especially now that winter is setting in, and I got a 3.4 oz bottle on ebay for a great price.

My first impression of this scent: suprise. I expected the patchouli to be much more "incensy" and spicy, but the initial application was very sweet on me. It didn't take more than a few minutes to begin warming up, though. I do continue smelling the patchouli along with the woodsy-vanilla, and I am have not yet decided whether I like this or not... I only used one spray and I have to put my nose up to my wrist to smell any scent, which is probably a good thing - I think that this fragrance could potentially be offensive if used too heavily. I expected FN to be much darker, but the it is more of a "wrapped in a cozy throw while seeing the sun set through a window in late fall, dusky" kind of "dark" rather than a "spicy, daring, hot date" kind of "dark", if that makes sense.

Fancy Nights is different from any other perfume that I have owned, and I will have to try it a few more times before I know for sure whether or not I will continue using it. Like other reviewers, though, I applaud Jessica for departing from the norm with this one. I am a fan of Fancy Love, and that one took me some time to fall for. Maybe it will be the same sort of thing with Fancy Nights.

i bought this FN thanks to eludiastar that said .......sweet, musky, spicy & sensual.
it works on me. it fabolous and tempting ;)
maybe i should try another jess perfume

As mentioned below, this is close to Emeraude. It is softer and mellower though. Smells like lime vanilla pudding. OK but not great.

I don't like wearing this scent...but I don't think it is a bad one. I bought it blind because I do like strong, rich, patchouli-based perfumes. The first spray, oddly, I couldn't smell much; so I went a bit crazy and seriously oversprayed. After a few seconds I felt like I was drowning in crushed pine needles. It was harsh and overpowering. And my fault.

During the dry-down I became aware of the papyrus...and although I have liked that note in other scents, in this one, mixed with the other resinous scents, I find it a little unpleasant. I went to bed still wearing it, not particularly happy and determined to give it away as soon as possible.

The next day, my pillow smelled wonderful! Very rich and rendolent of a dark pine forest. But on my skin after the top notes die, I am left with slightly piney papyrus. Since it still smells nice on clothing and bedding, I would say this is more a case of skin chemistry than a problem with the scent. Try before you buy.

i'm glad †hat the general public dismisses this fragrance from the first harsh spray and doesn't have the patience to wait for the incredible dry down that i experience...that means more for me!! lolz this my new addiction and i never thought in a million years i'd be saying that about a celebrity fragrance but my gaaaawd the dry down is out of this world gorgeous on my skin! intense patch for the first ten 10 minutes bordering on dizzying but push through because then it calms down to a rich, creamy, almost golden feel saturated with amber. it's dreamy & mystical. this lasts for hours and the glorious scent lingers on my bed sheets and pillows. i'm so head over heels for this that i have 3 bottles on stash and a gift set with the lotion and body wash just to be on the safe side that someday i won't be able to find it anymore. anyone bashing this scent is judging it on the first few minutes and not on the heart of the perfume. oh well, their loss because fancy nights has managed to win me over in a big way =]

I blind bought this from the information on this website & I have to say it is the best blind buy I've ever had! Well done Fragrantica. It is wonderful & the price was fabulous as well. It is spot on how I like my perfumes, sweet, musky, spicy & sensual.

If you like Arabian style Chypre perfumes then this is for you!

A night fragrance for sure.... it smells great and the linger of it is frabulous!

A very earthy pathcouli smell. As a gourmand lover I am kind of raising an eyebrow as to where people smell any sweet in this, because honestly this scent is as dry as a bone. Papyrus, patchouli, oakmoss, rose...okay so maybe a hint of vanilla but of a unsweetened variety. Something plesantly spicy and masculine about it. Fancy nights is unusual and deep. Complicated and smooth in a dry sort of way. I really enjoy it.

It is softer, less complex and not that bold Prada Intense and of course not that pricey.
And because of the papyrus in it does have that 'old book' note at the beginning.
Great for patchouli lovers.
Defenitely Jessica's most mature scent.
I love it in autumn foggy nights.

Picked up a nice gift set at Winners today (20$ for a 100 ml, a mini and a lotion, how can you go wrong) and I must admit this might be on my heavy rotation list. I love the initial strong opening (wish is lasted a bit longer to be honest) and it quickly dried down to a sweet (not too sweet , not a huge fan of sweet perfumes) woodsy amber scent. To be honest, from reviews I have read I thought it would be much more masculine than this (I was hoping for that) but it is pretty girly. I pick up a bit of the papery smell on me, but it is more like burning paper than the paper in an old book. I have Fancy Love also, and I actually see the relation between those two, with Fancy Nights being spicier and a bit more edgy. It reminds me of a perfume I had in the mid 90`s, I wish I could remember what it was, when I do I`ll come edit.

This is prada amber in a green bottle.I love this like crazy but am a patchouli lover so l guess it works for me.

I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOVE THIS PERFUME....the initial blast is a bit bold but if you can wait about 30 mins you're in for a treat, it's one of the best patchouli scents I've EVER smelled, so imagine my shock when I found out this was a Jessica Simpson scent, I really commend her for going outside the box as far as celebs fragrances go, this perfume smells niche...its soooooo yummy and that spicy vanilla, patchouli dry down is to die for, I can understand why it's not very popular with her fan base since this is so sexy, and a woman's PERFUME.

I bought this blindly due to the notes alone and it turned out to be a great purchase for me for the mere $20 I paid for the full 100ml size. I very rarely even consider buying a celebrity fragrance let alone trying one but this is very good. It is in no way overpowering or incredibly incensey on me - if you want incense try Rumba it makes this look weak in comparison. This is an ultra warm patchouli, amber vanilla scent. I am surprised there is no honey listed. It smells like four fragrances on me mostly Avons Imari Mystique, two discontinued Revlon fragrances Fire and Ice Smoulder, and Unforgettable too (both unlisted here) and a touch like my favourite Estee Lauder Sensuous noir probably due to the pine/amber/patchouli like notes. If you enjoy warm spicy smoky orientals you can't go wrong with this one.

Jessica Simpson FANCY NIGHTS is very different from the first two members of this series, FANCY and FANCY LOVE. (I have not tried I FANCY YOU.) FANCY NIGHTS is much less sweet and smells quite synthetic and uninviting to me, turning stale on my skin over the course of minutes. It is actually possible for me to wear this perfume (FANCY NIGHTS), while FANCY is just an altogether unpleasant scrub-worthy experience. FANCY LOVE is a bit better than FANCY, but it's really not a perfume that I would ever choose to wear. It's not repulsive, but neither is it appealing. I have purse sprays of the trio and never wear any of them.

Unlike FANCY and FANCY LOVE, FANCY NIGHTS will not induce a diabetic coma in the wearer, nor does it serve as an effective emetic. It does not make me wonder whether I am willfully poisoning myself. No, the only reason why I do not wear FANCY NIGHTS, although I do believe that it considerably better than its predecessors, certainly in composition, but also in quality of components, is because of the dominant papyrus note. Something about it does not sit well with me. It smells a bit like the pages of old library books. Somewhat stale and uninviting. I realize that some people love the smell of the pages of old library books, and I recommend this fragrance for testing by them. It's a real bargain, so if you happen to like this distinctive "papyrus" note, you're in luck.

A much better papyrus-centric perfume is now being offered by the house of Atelier Cologne: ROSE ANONYME, which also has a strong patchouli presence, in addition to the rose.

This would have been a blind buy for myself had not some gorgeous person sent me a 10ml travel spray of this fragrance. I really wish I remembered who it was as I'd like to thank them, but sadly I only discovered this at the bottom of the box several weeks after the fact. If it was you, thank you!

I'm a litle on the fence about this. I was very hesitant about trying this because pachouli and I are not friends. And the fact that a review here said it smelled as though someone had been smoking pot did nothing to endear me to this. But the other reviews here have really peaked my curiousity, and since winter is just about here I've been craving something deep, smoky, and warm. I think I've found it in Fancy Nights.

At first spray I'm really enjoying this. All the notes really hit you at once in equal concentration. There's a bit of a nod in the direction of more classic fragrances in the musk of the patcouli and the bright resin type mix, which is probably why you'll see some people say this smells "mature" or "older." I'm not a fan of any kind of resin so I'm on the fence about this one. Even still I can't help but like it. I've tried this out on a cold night, and once again on a warm day and each time gave me something different.

On a cold night I got more patchouli and what smells like a sharp, coppery, amber resin. I'm going to guess its maybe opoponax. As though you took an amber scent and sharpened it until it almost seems like its been mixed with the scent of copper. As you get to the drydown the sweetness of the florals peek out shyly from behind the patchouli and vanilla. Mostly it stays an amber and opoponax mix with hits of patch. My problem with it then was that I was hoping for more vanilla and for the patchouli and resin scent to be smoothed out into more of a creamy scent, but that's just personal preference.

During the warmth of the next day the notes seem to switch and I got my wish. At first, yes that amber, patch, and opoponax, but as soon as the drydown hits I get the most wonderful vanilla just ever so softly touched with the rose and jasmin. The patchouli, amber, and opoponax serve as a vehicle to project the smooth vanilla and just gives depth and a touch of sharpness. Very warm and lovely and a touch more feminine than at night.

I didn't find this to be particularly strong of sillage, it actually seems to hug quite close to my skin. But it could possibly be that my smaller travel spray dispenses considerably less than a bottle automizer would, and I always use only a single spray of fragrance.

So you see, this fragrance is quite a chameleon. As with a lot of great interesting fragrances it can go in just about any direction depending on weather, sense of smell, and skin chemistry. It has the potential to be a unisex fragrance because of that resin and patch. Or it can read as quite feminine due to the vanilla and sweetness. Either way, I think this is one of the more interesting celebrity offerings. Not a crowd pleaser but if you love it then it will love you too.

Bought as a blind buy through reviews on this website. Very musky, spicy and flat. There doesn't seem to be any topnotes or lighter noters but even so I love it. I love rich scents such as this. Does not smell like a celebrity scent, smells quite expensive.

Found this perfuem awful...it has no depth. It smell the same from spray to dry down. It reminds me of strong burning stick of incense. Far too spicy, and masculine way to strong. It was a blind buy. I was hoping for a vanila,musky,warm femenine scent.it doest blend with body chemesty it just sits there. Like heavy early morning San Fransico Fog. This is also a verry mature scent maybe 60+. I gave this to my mother for $10.nothing like the other Fancys.

As far as "celebuscents" go, I have to say this is the first time I've been truly impressed.

Fancy Nights manages to combine a complex "earth-and-leaves" smokiness with a soft powdery sweetness which flies in the face of all the typical celeb scents out there. But the dirt-and-grass aroma of patchouli definitely dominates this fragrance, so you have to at least be able to tolerate the note.

As patchouli-scents go, I actually see a passing resemblance to Chanel's Les Exclusif Coromandel, which is a little more intensely earthy and creamy than this. If you are used to high-cal cupcake vanilla scents along the veins of Britney’s, you might be disappointed.

I hated this. I don't dislike patchouli but this mixture was way too heavy, smokey, incensed for my taste. Glad there are so many that like it, though.

I bought Fancy Nights because it was cheap, because the reviews sounded fascinating, and because I wanted to know if I liked or didn’t like Patchouli. It’s in so many fragrances that I think I will like, this was a great one to try. Besides, the green and gold bottle is pretty (aside from the tacky plastic top).

I’m still kind of on the fence about Patchouli. It DOES have an unusual smell. Fancy Nights starts out with a very predominant blast of Patchouli. To me, it smells smokey-musty-tobacco-y. It is not sharp or acrid, but it is powerful. Like dry but slightly moldy leaves burning on a fall afternoon, attended by a gentlemen puffing on his pipe. There is a powdery fragrance that peeps through as it dries down, powdery but not baby powder. When the powder appears, there is less tobacco smoke in the fragrance but still a residual herb-y-ness.

I don’t like characterizing perfumes as “old” or “for an older person”, but I DO get a mental image of an older person. For me, it comes with associations of warmth, comfort, and gentle sophistication. The powderiness is mature, dry, almost vanillic but not sweet. There is still the faint tobacco fragrance.

It’s the common Patchouli note that makes me say this—but I got a similar impression with Thierry Mugler’s Angel. Angel left me feeling like I’d been hugged by a kindly, elderly pipe-smoking gentleman. Fancy Nights reminds me of my elderly piano teacher’s house—it had the same slightly musty-dusty, powdery, herbal fragrance. Fancy Nights is not as acridly herbal as I recall the Patchouli in Angel being; it is more soft and round -- maybe more feminine; I think that comes from the powdery notes.

As I write this, I wonder--could this be what an Egyptian tomb might smell like? And I recall the papyrus notes, which makes that a logical thought, and also explains the musty-dusty that I smell, which is probably the papyrus. Yes, an Egyptian tomb might smell like Fancy Nights--Patchouli, dust and paper, powdery, sophistication that comes from mature confidence, wealth and power.

Sillage is not huge, I would say just past a skin scent. It is fading after about 3-4 hours, so not bad longevity. I may return it, as I’m not in love with it—I'm still making up my mind about Fancy Nights and about Patchouli in general.

EDIT: OK, I was on the fence with this one until my husband and daughter commented that I smelled "funny". When I asked like what, my teenaged daughter told me I smelled "like an old lady" and my husband chimed in "like toilet paper." Great. I think this one is going back.

I just have to add to the excitement around Jessica Simpson Fancy Nights. I was, again, low-rent perfuming at the TJ Maxx (after a disastrous go-round with Paloma Picasso), and based on the reviews here, decided to pick it up for a song ($12.99!!!). I thought it couldn't hurt to try it out on weekends or between gyming and errand-running. I'm actually shocked; this is pretty decent juice.

If I smell it directly on my skin, it's vaguely reminiscent of Lolita Lempicka Coral Flower, of which I'm not really a fan. But as I grocery-shopped, I got waves of very strong yet sophisticated patchouli mixed with amber. Perhaps it's because I sprayed it on top of Mitsouko I was wearing since 7am, but it kind of smelled like Coco Mademoiselle. I'm curious to see how it wears through the night.

just ordered a second bottle. everything i love and nothing i hate. a masterpiece in that sense. thank goddess for the no lily of the valley or carnation!

This is an unsually good 'modern cypre' for a celebrity scent. I really like it, it reminds me a little bit of Aromatic Elixir...just a little bit. It does have more of a vintage feel to it, my only complaint is that I wish the longevity was as good as the sillage.
It is very well blended and a nice powdery in the drydown. Lots of patchouli, but I don't find it offensive. Very unusual celebrity scent.

I proudly own this celebrity scent, very daring composition, because the first thing comes into my mind is berry bombs when I think of a celebrity scent. I love the balanced patchouli, amber, subtle vanilla and spices in this. Old fashioned in a good way, not very sweet if that means masculine?! Yes, a man can pull it off but it does not smell like an aftershave either, congratulations Ms.Simpson, for your brave attitude.. About similarities to Prada, I find it similar too, but more similar to Prada Intense (dark red packing) due to amplified patchouli in it.

this is a delicious patchouli vanilla scent..it is spicy and reminds me of rice cinnamon pudding or cinnamon bread with that vanilla scent..this is so good i love this more than fancy love...i love this and Fancy equal but this tops the cake...its such a lovely oriental perfume...not everyone will like this but it has that vanilla cinnamon pudding vibe...or that vanilla nut bread feel to it...i so love this...it really is more of a dessert gourmand...truly a masterpiece and is my favorite with coco chanel and miss dior le parfum and rihanna reb'l fleur...same vibe but more vanilla...

I thought I would try this based on all the glorious reviews this fragrance has been receiving. I can appreciate why all you ladies love this but for me this is a no go. I have decided after trying this that it is patchouli that I do not like. If you are on the fence about patchouli or do not like that particular note than this perfume is not for you. If however, you LOVE patch than this definitely deserves your attention!!!

This is Prada Amber without the resins and honey. I'd say this is less sweet than Prada.

This exotic beauty deserves all the attention she is currently receiving. As newer orientals go, this one actually delivers! Fancy Nights goes a bit flat on me ( and I seem to be somewhat anosmic to the mid notes ) even while I agree enthusiastically with the most elated reviews here at Fragrantica.

My sister received this from me when I discovered that it became Enchantment itself on her. It floats about her with perfect sillage and the kind of aura I always expect - but so seldom experience - from the most expensive scents.

Everyone described this well, and yet their descriptions cannot completely convey the magic and utter seduction of this scent on the right chemistry. It says Arabian Nights and Old fashioned femeninity --- for once the magazine ad really captured the essence of this gorgeous surprise. It met my highest expectations, and when does that happen with newer, let alone celebrity (!), scents?


I am so happy to be anywhere near this intoxicating fragrance and listen to the complements. Already it's garnered praise from some of the pickiest people I know .... Fancy Nights is at least worth a try for the oriental lover, because if she works on your skin, you will radiate richness and quality. Five Stars!!!

Three words: chocolate easter egg! This perfume smells great on me, but could easily be worn by males.The opening was strong, but not at all unpleasant. It just let me know why some were saying that this smelled like 'men's cologne' or was 'unisex'. Then, the patchouli and vanilla combo came up, and reminded me of how a friend described Belgian chocolate. It was like unwrapping a Belgian chocolate egg, or opening a box of chocolate liqueurs. I didn't even get 'patchouli' from the combination. The dry-down brought up more vanilla from the base, and more spiciness that blended with the florals into an entirely new scent. I truly couldn't separate and identify each note, they were balanced so well. The scent lasted a long time on me, and I enjoyed reapplying some body lotion from my bath set to extend the scent a little longer still. This was a very good effort from the nose!

I need this back in my life. I got rid of it only because I tended to associate it with an ex friend who used to borrow it whenever she came to visit me. Although she turned out to be very despicable, the perfume however was not. In fact, it was glorious to me in all it's classic oriental beauty. My only regret about it is having let her use it in the first place and ruining the joy that I used to find in FN. I hope to have this back one day--no associations attached--and recapture my love for it once more. There is a charm about it I crave still. The effervescent quality and combo of notes is stunning, and timeless.

I purchased this yesterday on a blind buy based on reviews, curiosity and my desire to try things that are different and out of the norm...I was not dissapointed.
This bottle kept popping up on the left in the boxes of frags that are similar to the ones I was looking at and it peaked my interest.I just happened to be shopping at T.J.Maxx and low and behold a single bottle lay waiting for me, priced at 14.99... I took it as a sign from the perfume gods that it was meant for me,lol.

I took heed to the advice and spritzed a teeny, tiny bit at first and that was all that was needed to get a lovely sweet, patchouli-floral-vanilla-warm-earthy-comforting scent...I Love It! I wouldn't classify myself as a big patchouli person, this is my first fragrance containing the note, and boy is it ever in there from start to finish, but I may look for it in other frags from time to time.

I will probably keep this for home use as it is quite strong and very long lasting. This is a good one for experimenting with layering, I plan to try it with my BBW sensual amber first and then maybe a vanilla body wash/cream combo next. Thank you Jessica Simpson for thinking out of the box!

I bought this one blindly, and unfortunately it just wasn't for me. I'm not a big fan of the deep musks and woodsy scents, it actually made it hard for me to breath after applying it :p for those who love it, love on! it's just not for me :)

It's a classic or old fashion scent. Remind me the scents when I was a child...that I could smell among the ladies on wedding parties.
Patchouli, amber, jasmin and rose are the notes that I can recognize in Fancy Night, papyrus and oakmoss are the notes that which I don't know still. Fancy Night just not the kind of celebrity scent, I already said, it's a classic.
A vintage from the present.

OK, seriously. This is what is here, and what is not here.
TOP: Bergamot--A hint.
Paparys--A big amount of top, a wet green, papery thing.
MIDDLE: Patchouli--Loads. The dry, sweet kind.
Jasmine/Rose--A hint.
BASE: Sandalwood--A hint. A powdery sort.
Oakmoss--Non existant. Evernia prunastri is not an ingredient in FN.
Amber--Loads. The most dominant feature.
Vanilla--A lot, and it comes through as it wears, as a basenote does.

This is a strong, assertive perfume, one spray needed to project across the room. Amber rich, clean patchouli, a dry edge, powdered vanilla sandalwood on the bottom. Dirt cheap to boot.

Steve Mercado has created many well liked commercial fragrances.

I appreciate Fancy Nights both as a departure from Steve's previous work and as a celebrity fragrance that isn't entirely concerned with pleasing the masses. This does not smell like a typical celebrity fragrance whatsoever (which is wonderful as many fragrances are snubbed simply because of their sponsor instead of being judged fairly as creations of well respected perfumers just doing their job)

It's connection to Jessica Simpson is minimal and ultimately irrelevant as far as critical analysis goes. It is evocative, multidimensional and curiously gender neutral. The initial burst of top notes transported me to an Imperial Russian winter ball. Oddly specific, I know, yet indicative of an intangible energy that will resonate with some and confuse others. Whenever I spray something that immediately conjures up a distinctly beautiful image or emotion I generally view it as a must have. I am sure there are people here who feel the same way.

Fancy Nights is no exception. It definitely isn't for everyone but it is irrefutably a respectable perfume.

i was really dissapointed when i smelt it ! eventhough jessica did an amazing job , in my opinion , with her other perfumes , but this perfume is different but not as good as the other fancies . It is an oriental fragrance , but it is too strong and the patchouli is also really powderry :( very dissapointed !
:(

Fancy Nights was a very pleasant surprise. I bought this perfume blind because it was on clearance for $7 and I already knew I loved Fancy and Fancy Love. Got it home and sprayed my wrist. The opening was pretty terrible. I almost ran to wash it off, but I've learned to let a perfume settle before deciding if I like it or not. I am so glad I did, because this perfume is a WOW. Patchouli and vanilla are the main notes I smell, but it's so rich and deep, blended with the other notes. I layer this with LUSH Vanillary solid perfume and that really takes it to over-the-top gorgeous. I immediately went back and bought another bottle! This is going to be my go-to evening scent from now on.

I've never even thought of purhasing a celebrity perfume, just because so far they smell boring or tend to be dupes of famous designer fragrances.
Fancy Nights is my first one. It caught my eye because of all the positive reviews here and in the Club section. Since it is not sold in my country (or maybe it is, but I just haven't noticed it), this was a blind buy.
So where should I start- I am a patchouli lover, and a sucker for everything woody+powdery. I also want my perfume to be long lasting and although I perfer commercial, it still has to smell unique. Fancy Nights fills all my demands for a good perfume and I am so happy that I own a 3.4 oz bottle.
The design is pretty, I'm usually not a fan of green and gold combined, but it looks good and is comfortable to use.
The perfume lasts long, I wouldn't say that it's extremely long lasting, but on my skin 8 hours, which is great. It is quite cheap, I got my 3.4 oz bottle for 27 euros, and definitely a keeper and now one of my favorites! Not the best choice for hot weather though, can't wait for the fall to wear this every day!

I got this perfume a little while ago, it is a very rich scent, the main thing u smell is patchouli from top to the base. When you first smell it you can really smell the papyrus and a tiny bit of the bergamot and the patchouli is here too, after a little while you can start to smell the rose and the jasmine with alot of patchouli still. After a while the patchouli get softer and the scent gets sort of powdery this is when you get the base notes, you can smell vanilla,sandalwood,oakmoss,amber and still the patchouli.
I like to wear this scent around the house and on really cold days or night, it is a nice scent if you like patchouli or really storng scents.

I had a tester of this in my candy bag full of goodies. I was looking forward to trying it due to it's seeming popularity amongst (some) fragrantica members. All I can say is I'm guessing all the people are that love this are patchouli fans, no ? Because that is seriously the only note I can smell in this! Starts with patchouli, mid-bakes with patchouli and ends with patchouli. And as much as I am a patchouli fan myself, my nose ain't picking up a refined, sophisticated dior/annick type of patchouli, but rather the sort you expect the hippies to wear at an indie festival! lol Bless her, I quite like the ditzy blonde - but she ain't no parfumer is she! ;-)

I'd been debating for months whether to buy this perfume or not as the reviews were so split. I finally decided to purchase this as it was very cheap.

I absolutely love the bottle, it is quite beautiful. The perfume itself is very seductive, mysterious and dark. When I sprayed it first, the patchouli was quite loud however this settled to a lovely, vanilla and woody scent, which reminds me of incense. This perfume is certainly not for summer, it's most suited for candlelit dinners, cosy afternoons by the fire or when you feel like wearing a more mature, elegant perfume.

Overall, I really like this perfume and this is coming from someone who likes 'Fancy' and Britney Spears 'Fantasy' Highly recommended!

I remember working for this company as a fragrance vendor. We could not sell this perfume for the life of us! We couldn't even give it away! I remember the looks on people's faces when we used to hand them the card- yuck! It was priceless!

Though Fancy Nights isn't unique in the history of perfumery, I would say it is pretty unique in the world of celebrity perfumes.
I sampled it today and found the opening to be pretty awful but after a couple of minutes a very sweet, powdery vanilla-amber scent started coming out. Up close, it is fairly modern: sweet, fresh, spicy and earthy. But, as I was walking home and the scent would get carried to me on the breeze, I kept thinking of Shalimar and Emeraude.
I actually don't get nearly as much patchouli as I was expecting after reading the reviews, and I do smell a bit of a similarity between Fancy Nights and Fancy love (maybe the powdery jasmine, sandalwood, patchouli and amber?). In any case, I think it's nice that Jessica Simpson's perfumes are growing up along with her.

I was so disappointed with this one because I love all the other Jessica Simpson fragrances and desperately wanted to like this too. However the patchouli is WAY TOO STRONG. It's way too floral and heady and gives me a really bad headache. It's no where near similar to the caramel sweetness of Fancy or the feminine softness of Fancy Love.

It's very pungent and smells more like a masculine scent.

This gorgeous fragrance is my magical companion tonight as I settle to go bedsy bye... And what a beautiful comforting friend to have around. She is wearing a green satin evening gown adorned with delicate gold trim. As we sit peacefully together to write this review (let me get whimsical here for a moment :D ) her presence is like a warm balm to a bone-tired soul. She is all powder-sweet, reminding me of the Victorian era. Her warm, enveloping nature makes her a cozy and ever so present friend She magically lulls your senses with a dreamy and intense patchouli that smells rich and sweet like Champa incense. Yet, she is more celestial and etheral than musky- earthy. She is a Queen that has been neglected and now entrances niche lovers as well as perfume peasants (;)) .Her dark hair is demurely swept up and on her lap is 'ARABIAN NIGHTS' ...It smells of papyrus when she turns the page. On her skin blooms night jasmine and Bulgarian Rose and in her robes I can detect a vanillac trace that smells like white chocolate. When she gets up to leave for bed, her amberish presence remains with me and with a sigh of well -being , I too fall into Patchouli-Rose sleepyland where all the fragrances are free!
AHHHHH! THANX FOR THE BALLOONS MELUVS! WARMS MY HEART XXX

In my opinion this is Jessica's best scent . Its very mature, warm and spicy, just the way I want it .

It reminds me of my "arabian nights" in Morocco . I love it !

I so desperately wanted to love this perfume. That BEAUTIFUL green bottle is one of the most alluring bottles I've ever seen for a perfume. I wanted to proudly display it on my vanity, but ...

This perfume absolutely attacks my body chemistry with no mercy. It does not want to cooperate with me, which is very depressing. From the bottle, the perfume is quite promising and unique for a celebrity fragrance!

Patchouli, patchouli, patchouli is what dominates the fragrance. From the bottle I pick up on the patchouli, the rose, and the amber with a very slight hint of vanilla and sandalwood. For some reason, it reminds me of Youth Dew from Estee Lauder, which has always been a comfort scent for me because my mother wore it all of the time when I was a child. I think Fancy Nights smells very glamorous, elegant, and old-fashioned from the bottle.

On my skin, however ... That's another story. On my skin, the oak moss starts to dominate which creates a terrible staleness to the fragrance on my skin. It makes me think of cat urine. BAD! And tragic.

To those who CAN wear Fancy Nights, I envy you. This would have been a perfect perfume for me to wear on a romantic and fancy night out if it had worked.

So I bought a gift set, 100ml bottle plus 10ml roll on, a bath gel and a body lotion for only $20.

I tried it on my skin, Feminine top. On heart,
I smelled a hint of a classic men's pomade. I also smelled a hint of mint, soft spice, it is not too sweet but it is woody and a bit balmy.

Don't get me wrong coz I like the scent it projected on my skin, a little close to skin though so it is not cloying nor annoying. Could be a classic fragrance. The dry down is it's best part IMO.

Can be a masculine scent when used sparingly. Can be used by a man on a casual cloudy colder day or formal cold evening event.

It reminds me of in-between YSL Rive Gauche for Men Zino Davidoff with a light touch of Thierry Mugler's Angel. This is not strong but it has it's own character. Try, Buy or Pass? Try it for Fancy Nights is "captivating and pleasant".

Scent: 8.5/10
Projection: 7/10

Fancy Nights

Fancy Nights is a Sweet-Dry Patchouli Bombshell. With a hint of Vanilla, Papyrus and Bergamot to provide a hint of Freshness with a foundation of Dryness thanks to the Sandalwood and the Jasmine. This fragrance is in my opinion one of the more superior fragrances to come out of the Jessica Simpson brand. What really makes this more attractive to me is just how Different this is to her other fragrances. It seems very left-wing and very unexpected; which I like A LOT. When I spray this I get an overdose of Patchouli, it's sweet, it's dry, it's very powerful. The earthy essence of Patchouli is definetly here but it has been sweetened thanks to the vanilla and the Rose and the Bergamot adds this bright freshness which is just subtle enough so that it doesn't steal the limelight. I think if there was no Bergamot in this scent, then I wouldn't have purchased it, because it's very strong. So as a Disclaimer, if you dislike Patchouli then avoid this fragrance at all costs because it's all about the Patchouli.

I love this fragrance and I think I'll definetly wear it a bit more now that we're in Winter over here in Australia. I think it's really dynamic and it's been composed very well. If you want a Statement fragrance on a budget then I'd definetly recommend; Fancy Nights.

Scent: 9/10
Projection: 10/10
Longevity: 10/10 (8-10 hours)

bottle is a knocked off from Swiss Arabian's Mukhalat Maliki.

I like this it's sweetened, tamed patchouli, ambery wood and mideastern incense and powder. It's a kind of daytime sultry. It's a bit too tame for a nightime perfume.

It has good sillage and the lasting power is quite good.

I like the bottle design too, it seems to suit the mideastern tone of this perfume.

Based on the reviews here I have looked and looked (almost blind bought) finally found a sample to squirt and today purchased a 100ml bottle of this '$29' thank you very much!

I get similarities to Shalimar edt, Angel edt, Bleu and maybe even a little of Halston Amber.
I really like it.
Angel is a sillage monster and Bleu a bit hippy so I feel I cant get away with them at work (Halston is nearly $200 so erm yeah...).
Im picking up sweet Patch, amber and vanilla about 1 foot from my hand so I think it shouldnt be too toxic for the workplace.
I sprayed it on my hand 4 hours ago and it is wearing exceptionally well still.
very impressive!
Yay!

To me, its a masculine scent. This is very woody, earthy, powdery, warm, spicy. The main notes I smell are patchouli, papyrus, oak moss, jasmine. The projection power is not good, but the lasting power is okay, a few hours. Anyone who loves masculine, woody, strong pachouli scents, I recommend this for you. Its not bad or terrible. I like.

Adjectives such as cosy, snug, comfortable, warm, safe and secure spring to mind upon reflection of the sensibilities Jessica Simpson's Fancy Nights evoke in me.

I experienced an overwhelming surge of comfort adorned in FN yesterday. Emotionally the restful aroma of efflorescent patchouli and the friendliest vanilla-rose-incense I have ever met conjured the sensation of my Nan being near.

Stella would have loved this perfume. Nan was a Passion (Elizabeth Taylor) Girl in her day. No-one wore Passion as elegantly as my Grandmother!

Fancy Nights is mildly reminiscent of the evocative allure of Passion. A memory. A feeling.

Wonderful.

I received this in a swap, after smelling it in a magazine. Upon first spray, HORRIBLE, but after about 10 minutes, it's a very mysterious and deep scent. I normally hate scents like these, my preference being fruity-florals, fruity, sometimes gourmand, and occasionally oriental scents, but something about this intrigues me and since the majority of people hate this, it's fairly cheap as well!

I tried this at the local drugstore, not knowing anything about the notes so I didn't know what to expect. Since I am a patchouli-hater, I was immediately disgusted. I couldn't wait to get home and wash it off. Definitely not my style!

It's an old fashioned perfume but I like to wear it when I go to bed .. It's not bad

I love Fancy and Fancy Love so much, i bought a gift set with all three and was so surprised how much this one didnt fit ... i actually really dislike it, it smells like cheap cologne to me, but then again - im not into heavy night scents, i keep trying them, but never like them. oh well. the lasting power of this is great though, unfortunately lol

I really like it. It's not a everyday perfume at all. This is only to be used in especial ocasions. You need to put yourself dressed on to use this. Powerful,strong, misterious. I like it.

I tried this again today after having set it aside for a few months.I already reviewed it a while back but just had to say how much I like this....once it dries down.If you don't like even a *little* patchouli stay far,far away because it is there from start to finish but oh this is lovely after the first blast quiets down:)

I have been tempted by this patchouli fragrance for a while... and finally decided to get it blindly, as a patchouli lover the risk seemed so low. My first encounter with Fancy Nights was not so ecstatic as I imagined, but still it got me intrigued, so I gave it another chance and it was totally worth it!
It opens a bit synthetic - at first you do not know what is going on and in which direction it will develop, but quickly the notes calm down and mellow into a cozy, chocolaty, warm and delicious blend of vanillic and ambery patchouli with a distinct character. The initial harshness must be due to bergamot and papyrus, but the oakmoss note still makes it charismatic in the drydown.

It has excellent longevity especially on clothes, and projects well.

The golden box is beautiful, the bottle nice but a bit tacky unfortunately.

It is not my favorite patchouli scent, however, I do appreciate it a lot and wear it with pleasure. Amazing proposal among celeb scents and for the price you really get your right desserts.

Recommended to all patchouli freaks, at least to be tested :)

I had to get rid of this one - Patchouli overload that literally made me ill. I tried loving it for weeks and then I admitted that I didn't. Patchouli lovers - enoy!

I wanted to wear this several times before I reviewed it. So here is my verdict. This perfume is for the witchy side of me. It's a powerful scent that makes you feel powerful. At first spray, the patchouli will overwhelm you and you will hate it. The key is to wait for the dry down! Depending on on your body chemistry, it might be between 10 to 20 minutes, which is not alot to ask in my opinion. The dry down is powdery patchouli on me. It's a suprisingly complex. It might remind you of an old school perfume like opium, or shalimar. But I like how Jessica put her own modern twist to it. I would wear this on a night out or when I'm feeling bitchy and powerful, lol. It's not sweet and fruity thank goodness. Because sometimes a woman just wants to feel earthy, and sensual, and well, like a woman. Not cupcakes or candy, or a fruit.

Hi there! Back again on this one (said I would come back!!!) well I hadn't worn this fragrance at all. i was afraid to! thought it was maybe too strong for work!! Well let me tell you that I received compliments from everone today!!! They say it smells divine and sexy!! It doesn't smell cheap at all and lasts for long!!


But it is definetaly a winter scent!!! Don't go wearing this in Summer, people will faint! It is seductive... Remember Opium in the 80's??? It gives you that feeling!

Yuck, that's all I have to say about this scent. I do have to give Jessica credit where it's due though. This is NOT the typical celebrity fruity floral fragrance that will please everyone and that's why I give her credit. This is really different and I think that on some people, it would smell lovely. Just not on me!

This one is VERY oldfashioned smelling at first but it quickly drys down into a very creamy,powdery woody scent.
I bought the gift set for $20.00 on a blind buy and the first spray set me back because it was sooooo vintage smelling....Almost like that "perfume gone bad smell" but once I got past that I was ok with it but I definitely don't think I'll ever grow to love it though.
This one would only work at night when you're in a vintage fancy kinda mood IMO
I assume this one will be mostly just sitting pretty on my Dresser :)
I really like the bottle though.

Deep and spicy, got this on clearance for $6. I wouldn't have chosen this, but it's really nice and spicy, something different and I like it.

A walk through a Mythical forest guided by the moon. The aroma of patchouli & black orchids dance around & tease the senses. You are captivated by the aroma of vanilla mixed with the earthy tones of the forest. Then you run into the love of your life waiting for you at a open spot in the forest greeting you with a bouquet of rose & jasmine florals to a midnight pick nick underneath the stars.

Wow, what to say about this fragrance. I was amazed by this, as its not remotely similar to its predecessor, Fancy. No, this intriguing fragrance stands alone and strong.

I bought this blindly and at first I was disappointed because all I could smell was chocolate-covered pine cones. But after a few tries and an unbiased mind, I fell in love with it. It is so rich and deep and beautiful. Slightly sweet smokey, cold night air and patchouli with hints of moist soil. There is so much complexity to this transcendental fragrance.

This is where patchouli goes to die. I sampled this one at a local fragrance store and the SA and I both agreed it smelled gross! It's like old mold or something. The patchouli is not refined as it is in Angel or Flowerbomb. It just smells like your grandma's closet or something. It's not feminine at all, and not something I would ever want to smell like. (This should really be targeted towards men.)
It smells very outdated and is not well-balanced.

This perfume needs to dry before I can really start appreciating it. At first spritz it is strong, sharp-zingy, strange, & the patchouli is overwhelming.

The drydown is what I really like about this perfume-
Earthy-deep-mossy-vanilla... these four words best describe the drydown! The sharp beginning reminds me of raw honey, and there is a spiciness that reminds me of cinnamon.

I don't think it's masculine, if you give it the chance to 'settle' on your skin (skin, not clothes or paper) then your left with a warm, clean kinda dirty, vanilla. Probably takes 20 minutes to settle into this wonderful scent. If you don't give it this chance then you won't know what your missing!

edit- some days this smells kind of masculine on me and some days it doesn't. I don't know why, weather? What I've eaten? I don't know.

at walmart this cost 19.99 for a 1.0 oz & at marshall's its 19.99 for a 1.7 oz. i'm fragrance shopping at Marshall's for now on.

This fragrance is elegant & sexy

this is Unisex to my nose, all fragrances are unisex gender shouldn't matter if you like it.

its a unique fragrance and i love it.

its a fall/winter fragrance

Ok..so I ordered after reading your reviews...and I LOVE IT! It's a spicy & exotic frag. Very unique and different from the other celebrity frags which are usually very fruity and flowery. This one is for the patchouli lovers indeed.

Ok.... the first impression is really strong.... very similar to Opium and Youth Dew....although as it dries down, it is softer...not sure yet, I think i will get back on this one..

I'm wearing it today and I'm so happy ... this is incredibly amazing parfum. Absolutly gorgeous on me .... so attractive, can not find the right words to describe this beauty. Wow, fantastic patchouli woodsy vanilla smell... There is no sweetness in FN, just pleasant dry vanilla hiding in the shadow of patchouly and wood.
Despite using my best efforts I can not properly discribe it in English (not even in my mother tongue). I'm simply in the middle of this fantastic claud and mmmmming all the time.
FN is one of the most beautiful orientals in my collection and I have them a lot, specially arabic orientals which unfortunatelly not listed on Fragrantica.
So, all the best about Fancy Nights, if you are an oriental scent lover.

Actually I don't remember when I have been so excited about some perfume.....yes, when I purchased Creed Bouquet de Fleur I've had similar feelings. Of course there is no similarity between these two, I'm talking about my excitement only.
Needless to say that I'm in loooove with FN and I've ordered my back-up bottle today!

I've got it! And.......... IT'S GOREGEOUS fresh patchoulli smell, bit sharp at the begginning , but when settles down it's magnificient.
I can understand some of you talking it's somehowe masculin- yes it can be - anyways to my nose is fantastic womens perfume... not kinda cute scent, it's serious and strict , bossy perfume. It can easilly be daily scent, going to work even ....depends on personality.
Maybe I will change my mind when I'll give it "a full wear". That's what I think today while I spritz on my wrist only. For now ...I'm in love!

Stay with this one. After about 15 or 30 minutes it begins to transform into Prada by Prada (aka Prada Amber.) Long lasting and good price for the large bottle. Nice stuff!

Okay so here is my experience with Fancy Nights.I tested it out today at Sears. So I sprayed it on and all I could smell was an unpleasant scent of menthol or cough syrup something along those lines.
But...
After walking around the store for a bit I smelled something really nice,not really sure where it was coming from,but ta da it was from when I sprayed Jessica Simpsons Fancy Nights.
So..
I think this perfume has a nice dry down but the first spray is really strong and almost could burn your nostrils but the dry down is quite nice. I did not purchase though,it is a possibility for the future though.

I find that on my skin it smells boldly of patchouli and vanilla. As time passes and it blends with my chemistry I begin to enjoy it a little more. It is very different from my usual choice of scents it borders on almost being too masculine for me, but I could definitely see me wearing this for certain occasions.

I've already ordered online! I'm courious because of all reviews down here. I believe it's great perfume, even that some of you say contrary.

On vais le voir!!!

lovely to wear at night on first smell it reminds me some much of tabu but turns into something lighter but beautiful

I don't know why this one is so disliked!
I got a 1.7oz bottle for less than $12 so my little bottle was quite the steal and a wonderful addition to my collection.
This is definitely a patchouli scent so perhaps that is why this is one of those, love or hate scents. Personally i like a nice feminine patchouli scent.

This scent is quite unique, i was very surprised to see the notes in this one because i smell chocolate- and a lot of it!
Fancy nights to me is patchouli, mixed with a high quality creamy milk chocolate grounded by the powdery woody quality of the papyrus/oak moss and finally a little pinch of spice.subtle florals peaks through at points, but the chocolate/patchouli take center stage. This is not a everyday or daytime scent(it does have night in the name after all) but it is a nice little addition to my collection

I also love the bold colors of the bottle- I'am pretty impressed actually, Jessica really created something unique here - this is very different from the generic fruity florals most celebs pump out

EDIT- I probably should have waited till the dry down was complete BEFORE i reviewed, but you know how it is with a new scent your excited about ;)
the dry is VERY reminiscent of a sweetened shalimar!! all the more reason to love it <3

Here's another review by me after reading Aredore's. I have to agree now that I do detect a Shalimar feel to Fancy Nights. It's been so long since I've smelled Shalimar that I could only go off memory but just the suggestion conjured the memory of that classic, beautiful perfume. It has a "younger" vibe about it, as I believe it's much sweeter and maybe a tad lighter too. It is however, a good, cheap alternative in my opinion but with still a unique feel..not like wearing a copy cat.I just found a bottle on sale for $9 at a drugstore and had to snatch it up even though I still have a full bottle. I don't get any of the "unpleasant" note combinations as mentioned by Aredore ( I guess I did the first time I tried it...see my first review) to me it's just spicy,vanilla yumminess. My hubby commented that he liked it too and he's only commented positively on maybe 3 perfumes out of my whole collection.

Smelled someone with this on and asked what it was. Quell Surprise! Jessica Simpson has made a hit for me. It gets better and better through the night,
4 hours later just starts to fade to a soft glow that by 7 hours was just a close hint of sexy. This morning gone completely.
Men and women complimented my fragrance through the night.
Cheap, cheerful and a talking point once they find out such an alluring scent is a Jessica Simpson.
Sillage; 8/10
Longevity; 8/10
Scent 9/10

Three hours after vandalizing an unopened box of Jessica Simpson Fancy Nights to test the juice, my wrist smells like a slightly sweeter, softer Shalimar: mellow, powdery and creamy.

It didn't start that way. Fancy Nights opens with a very bright orange creamsicle accord, cakelike and sweet, almost if the general idea behind the fragrance was to reinvent the Shalimar EdP with cake vanilla as the main accord. It's a fantastic idea, but something in the execution went awry. Somehow the cake and patchouli didn't blend together properly and Fancy Nights is all topnotes and all basenotes. A weirdly unpleasant flowers and ice cream accord laid over a beautiful, if sweet, vanilla patchouli.

I tried this on my skin several months ago while shopping and was a little surprised ( and overwhelmed) that a smell like this would come with Jessica Simpson's name on it. I like spicy but it was overly spicy and earthy...to a point of smelling almost fecal....I know....gross...and the scent just didn't mesh together right for me. It was summer as well. I was, however, impressed with the strength and staying power.

I found a 1.7oz bottle discounted today for $16 and for some odd reason decided to give it another try. I bought it unsniffed this time but so many times I have changed my mind about a scent that I just went for it. It's winter now and fairly cold outside.

I've got to say that this time I was VERY impressed...I really can't believe how different it smells to me this time. I really really enjoy it! I should add that I'm a fan of Patchouli and anything earthy and resinous smelling and that's just what this is. At first blast out of the bottle, it doesn't smell all that great ( kind of an overly done spice bomb from the eighties feel) but give it a minute or two and if you enjoy an earthy-incensy-ambery-vanilla-patchouli scent, then I think you will fall in love with this. The longer it "stews" on my arm, the more it morphs into smokey vanilla. I keep getting wafts as I type and I feel like I'm in a head shop trying on amber oil while a cloud of sandalwood and patchouli incense swirls around me...mmmmmm.

Today I eat my words.I'll shout it to the stars: "Fancy Nights does not smell like poop!"

What a stinker! I purchased this perfume blind. I figured Jessica Simpson only had the typical sweet floral in all of her pefumes. Boy was I wrong! One sniff of the cap and I am afraid to spritz any of what could be toxic substance on myself.

THIS CAN BE CALLED UNISEX!! 4real, nobody is recognized it! I'm a boy and I like this one. I'm using this one every day and everybody is telling me, it's great scent. Very similiar to Cartier Essence pour homme.

I did not like this one at all!! However i do really like the advertisement and the designs as well as the color schemes!

i also got this in a set with fancy and fancy love and this was the last to be smelt. i guess i wasnt expecting it to smell so different from the other two. but to me its EXTREMELY masculine (i thought it was "fancy man" or something for a guy) which may be great if your into wearing guys cologne but thats simply not for me. sorry to say this is the worst perfume ive ever purchased. and still dont think it was intended for ladies.

This came in a set with Fancy and Fancy Love which I had sniffed and loved. This one opens up strongly with patchouli, and patchouli and I don't get along well. I agree with the comments of it being a dated smell. Like a patchouli of the 80's, it reminds me of shoulder pads and peplum skirts. Two out of three is not bad! The bottle is pretty enough to keep around for a while.

Got this in a mini gift set with Fancy and Fancy Love. Fancy Nights smells nothing like the other two. It is horrible! Smells very old.

Im still deciding if I actually like this one.
At first is was oh no- no way I did it again buying without trying.

I couldnt wait to wash it off-then by the time I was able to I thought I rather liked it.

Aromajunkie's review sums it up perfectly , she says what I would have tried to express about it.

I def agree that at first it smells "dated" as in 80's and that was an immediate turn off.
But wait long enough it changes unlike many others that start of the same.

Let me start off by saying that I love patchouli. And this stuff has TONS of it! I also like what I think is the papyrus note, but since Ive never smelled papyrus, I'm not sure. At very first spray, for me its a horrible strong old perfume smell (not OLD LADY, as old ladies can still wear very modern perfumes, and young ladies can wear more classic scents, but just old as in "dated" and kind of "80's screaming loud with way too many notes"). But when that fades, it has a delicious smoky vanilla with patchouli to spare! Sometimes I get a weird, plasticky green note, but other times (maybe my nose is fickle) I don't. When I dont get that note, I really like this one! I love to find a good "deep" scent (or "dark" or "night" or whatever word you want to use). I noticed that Fancy Nights is kind of hard to find in stores. I guess because it probably doesn't appeal as widely as most of Jessica's perfumes. But I did find it at Ulta (a little pricey), and also at Kmart, if thats in your area.

Actually after reading some more reviews, I might give this another chance. I just reacted to the initial strong note and did not give it time to settle before washing it off. Luckily I still have it and did not give it away ... lol

I thought I would try an inexpensive set of three (since I love Fancy and fancy Love) but am not feeling this one. Way too strong and patchouli-esque for me, but I do like the bottle and the price was right.

too strong and old smelling. the first whiff literally punched me in the face. the only salvation was to get some fresh air. I am not a patchouli too much fan, and this is one of those frags; with strong synthetic notes which add to the harshness and dryness of this perfume.
This is more like "Sleepless Nights".

Such a different perfume for me but I really like it! It took a few visits with Fancy Nights at the shops to decide if I should take this home with me or not. In the end the gorgeous smooth vanilla notes, with a twist, got to me and I had to have it! I must say I'm not a fan of the other Fancy Fragrances. Far too sweet for me that they made my brain hurt. This, however, is a winner for me. It is a very comforting and sophisticated fragrance that I like to use it on cooler nights or after I get out of the shower. It is definitely strong at first so spray lightly but I think it's so unique and I'm glad to have it in my collection.

I love, love, love Fancy Nights! To me it`s not as edgy as I expected based on the majority of the reviews. I find it extremely feminine and wearable but indeed more mature than Fancy, not as cutesy-girly and surely it is just different.
Fancy is one of my favourite perfumes so I thought it couldn`t get any better but Fancy Nights is just as lovely and powerful as it`s predecessor.

I don`t detect much of the notes listed, although I have to admit that I have never smelt papyrus before so I don`t even know what to look for here, but to me Fancy Nights is all about patchouli and vanilla.
It is strong on patchouli in the beginning, a little bit sharp but I adore this woody, earthy opening. A slight mossy accord is also detectable.
A big portion of cookie-like vanilla joins in later on to soften the composition and the fragrance is pretty much complete to my nose.
A sweet, thick, earthy, mossy blanket, comforting and dark at the same time.
Absolutely yummy!
Longevity is acceptable, not outstanding, but it does hold with great sillage. I got a compliment the very first time I was out wearing it, so it does demand attention from others I guess. :)
Also I think this fragrance could be a great introduction to chypre scents if you are (like me) not always very comfortable to wear big, classic chypre perfumes ( or dare I say, find them a little bit dated?) but like oakmoss, patchouli and earthy, woody notes in general. Fancy Nights is worth to start with, it`s a sweet, modern and feminine chypre suitable for all ages. Excellent value for the price.

Jessica has a fantastic perfume line and like others have said she deserves respect for putting out something so bold and dissimilar to celebrity perfume trends.
Note to myself: I must try Fancy Love now.

I like this one but don't love it. Chypres are a challenge for me. Love the woodsy accord, don't much like the sharp opening. Like the sandalwood in the dry down, but dislike the strong vanilla in the dry down. Wish I got more patchouli from it, like the other reviewers.

Ultimately, I much prefer Kate Walsh's Boyfriend for a cozy woodsy scent. That one is softer and just yummier to my nose. It has a wonderful cedar note and dries down smooooooth.

Fancy Nights is lovely though, and it's beautifully blended. If you like woody chypres and vanillas, this is gorgeous.

A bottle of Youth Dew lotion sits on my computer desk and I often get brief whiffs of it.Tmn, this smells like Youth Dew 2.0 or vintage Opium in the extreme drydown,which isn't a bad thing. Fancy Nights is a touch cruder because the notes smell more synthetic than it's predecesors, but it is definitely worth trying if you like that sort of thing.

AQUA: I DID THE SAME LAST NIGHT. ONLY I BOUGHT 2 : IT CONTAINS A 100ML. EDP, 90ML SHOWER GEL AND BODY LOTION, PLUS A NEAT LITTLE ROLLIE FOR ON THE GO TOUCH-UPS. I THOUGHT I WOULD RETURN WITH LOLITA LEMPIKA BUT I GUESS THE VALUE OF THESE GIFT BOXES IS TOO INCREDIBLE TO PASS! MY BEST FRIEND WANTED TO SMELL LIKE ME FOR XMAS SINCE WE ARE MILES APPART: THIS IS MY WAY OF SAYING SCENT UNITES! XXX

Based on the positive reviews, I've been on the hunt for this one for awhile now. I finally located it last night - I sprayed a bit on my wrist while I browsed in the store - and I must say it was love at first whiff! A woodsy patchouli-vanilla scent is irresistible to me, and this one is no exception. It's to die for. It's intoxicating - and a little suffocating, so a light spray will do. But if you like your perfumes heady, a bit sweet and a lot sexy, this one is perfect. Truly a femme fatale scent. The price is a nice bonus too - I got the full gift set (lotion, shower gel, 100ml EDP, 6ml roller) for $19.99! And for what it's worth, my boyfriend hasn't been able to keep his hands off me all day! Luv luv luv it!

Haha! Laughing at glitteralex's anosmia comment.
I received my new bottle of this today.
I sprayed a bit on some paper, feeling a bit ginger today as I have assaulted my nose the last few days trying new perfs!
All I got was a lot of alcohol, a bit of patchouli and a bit of .. something else.. not sure what yet. So at the moment, I'm concurring with glitteral.
I'm reserving judgement for now til I've worn it properly and I'll be back.
ps. This 100ml bottle is a huge whopper! Hard to get this perf in UK, it was the best one I could see, would like a smaller size.
- Right, I've worn it now and I mean, I LIKE Brut and everything but.....
First impression - a very thin patchouli brew.
After a while it goes a bit, but not unpleasantly, 'spicey', and then ends up as a long-lasting Brut-y remnant.
I don't find the smell unpleasant but I'm surprised at the price of this celebrity scent considering its apparent quality.
I paid £22.65 for this ('RRP £45' - havin a laugh!)and I think a more appropriate price would have been something under a tenner.. I can only think that the price is funding a mega advertising campaign or something.
It's a 'drugstore' smell and 'awfy' thin for an EDP. Even the alluring green bottle isn't that impressive in real life.
Neutrally speaking, it is a very 'retro' scent. Something, say, an older woman would have worn in the 60s or 70s.
I'll hold onto this and persevere with it, I have only tried it, repeatedly sniffing, on one wrist.
Maybe it'll wow me on the neck.
Wore it properly and outside as well today. Nyeh. Actually, sorry, but this is AWFUL. There's something about this formula that just doesn't do it for me, it's weird and not in a good way. I like woods, I like chypres, I like patchouli, I like vanilla, but I can't stand this. A really bad blind buy for me. If it's a choice between C'est la Fete Patchouli and this one if patchouli is what you're after, get the Lacroix it's much better! Or just dab some of the essential oil!
Big bottle up for swap!

Scent of wonderment...I just tried it: this is what came to my mind: wow...Wonderous potion of sensual patchouli spice ,mysterious incense, heady rose, rich jasmine and woodsy notes. To me, it is mystery in an Emerald (;) ) bottle. A seductive, warm, alluring scent that is so delicately complex and that has a note which reminds me of honeyed dark vanilla. It does have this 'Black Orchid' note to it. Simply 'chic', perfect for parties or Xmas time to me (maybe the papyrus and incense get me in a xmasy mood?). All in all, I think my Shalimar will now stay in its bottle longer! Fancy Nights has it's vintage quality in my opinion and the drydown lasts longer on me , without the bitter note that accompanies Shallimar's lesser sillage... will update, but I'm thinking of making it one of my faves, now! Good Day Fragrantican friends! xxx

I can't find it on stores. That's sad. But I love Jess so I'll keep on searching. It's better than Fancy, with this my nose doesn't hurt.

I sprayed this on a card yesterday and promptly forgot it in my car. when I got in my car this morning it smelled Sooooooooooo good!!!! I couldn't figure out what it was till I found the card in the drink holder and sniffed, YUMMMMM!!! I have to go try this on my skin, it's very Emeraude and Shalimar like, both of which I like, it must be the woods, vanilla, patchouli mix. I'm betting JS Nights is very long lasting on skin because it sure lasts on the card. I'll try it ASAP and write another "on skin" review soon. I have high hopes for this scent. :0)

Update: Tried on my skin finally, and don't care for it, too much patchouli for my noses taste, I much prefer Shalimar. I really do like it wafting in the air in my car though.

Very surprising! I keep swearing off celebrity perfumes after many cheap synthetic stinkers, but keep getting drawn back to them (must be the marketing, availability and price)). But this is VERY nice. Creamy vanilla patchouli with an old school vibe. Reminded me of Emeraude, but more wearable and sweeter, IMO. Lovely and cheap (inexpensive, not floozy-esque)!
Love you fragranticans - I took your word for it and you didn't lead me astray.

Edit: Similar to her Fancy Love a bit, but not as thick and syrupy.

Reminds me of Prada with a soapy touch. I like it very much. The soapy part adds a crisp edge. Very Fall.

I loved the patchouli overload at the start ( I guess that is what makes it interesting ). Then give it some time, it becomes soft powdery sweet smell with hints of incense and vanilla. It reminds me of Jade Goody's shh.
Please try it on your Skin before you purchase. Smells better on me than on paper. I have been looking for a perfume that is womanly rather than girly. I think i am starting to prefer mature perfumes. May be it's the age now that I am 26. This scent is truly devine. Finally a real perfume.RESPECT. Love You Jessica.

Starts with a burst of earthy patchouli and some papyrus which behaves a bit like incense. Within 30 min, jasmine and amber come to brighten and warm up this composition.

It lasts about 6 hours. Excellent fragrance!

As a longtime fan of spicier scents like Black Orchid and Cinnabar, I bought Fancy Nights blind after reading the perfume notes and customer reviews. I am not disappointed. When I first spray, I get a sweet patchouli note that reminds me of licorice. But when it dries down, I smell a more subdued patchouli along with vanilla. I get the comparisons to Emeraude and Opium, but Fancy Nights is unique and beautiful in its own right. Jessica Simpson's perfumers have done a nice job with her fragrance line.

i really like this fragrance. i think it is perfect for cold, rainy days.
it is so different from the other fancy fragrances i know. it is more masculine, nevertheless not too masculine.
i get always compliments when i am wearing it.
unfortunately (on my skin) the lasting power is not as good as fancy or fancy love

Anyone else having issues of anosmia with this one?

I had been looking forward to receive this by mail - so dissapointing .. All I get is patchouli, patchouli, patchouli. In a heavy, overpowering way. Way over the top and very different from Jessica's other fragrances (I guess that might be a good thing, after all)

Definitely not what I was expecting as I bought this blind without knowing what the notes were-initial spritz was HELLO PATCHOULI!! but it lightened up and became this very seductive,gorgeous scent that I could see a man OR woman pulling off.You definitely need to use a light hand with this one but if you can get past the sharpness of the first spritz it is well worth it.Definitely not for everyone:can see this being a love/hate scent....I happen to love it.It's a cool,drizzly day out and this is perfect.It reminds me of some other scent-not Emeraude but will update if I can think of it.
It kinda has a Tabu vibe to it-like I said:a love/hate fragrance for sure and definitely not for people that tend towards fruity florals.I think it's just lovely and cannot get over how different this is from the original.

Jae? Enjoying a celebrity fragrance after evolving from Paris Hilton's Just Me for Men and moving into the niche club? Fragrantica, I didn't see this coming. There was a thread in which this was recommended, so I decided to read the reviews. Those reviews motivated me to test this one a few hours ago. WHOA!!! This should be marketed to men - point blank. I actually love Fancy on women. But I couldn't imagine Fancy Nights on a woman at all. It IS very seductive on me, though. Damn, Jessica.. You deserve a standing ovation for having your name on THIS one....

Update: after wearing this for awhile, I can see why this is marketed to women. But I swear it still smells better on me.. LOL

I just cant get enough of this perfume, I love how its made not to ''please'' everybody and its not so commercial like other celebrity scents are, It is a love it or hate it fragrance. I love it, it smells rich, you get it for a great price and it last you cant go wrong with it.
But to sum it all up, fancy nighst is more like a smokey beautiful vanilla musky smell that is perfect for dinners, nights out, dates, weddings ect thats what type of fragrance fancy nighst is, its not ment to be an everyday perfume, just those special occasions. Hope my reviews help

I was so exited to try this because I love the first one. I sprayed some on my wrist before even smelling it bad idea! It smelled horrible. Noting like the sweet scent of fancy. It was almost a grandma scent. Great I had to deal with the smell all the way home I had to roll the windows down...I hope her next fancy scent smells better!

I said this once before and I will say it again, I absolutly hated this fragrance on the card when I first smelt it, It was so strong and spicy for my taste, But I picked up the bottle sprayed it on my writst and thought what have I done... lol well to my suprize I fell in love with it, I loved how it developed on my skin, it smelt nothing like it did on the card, it warmed up to a nice soft vanilla dry down and the spices were not there, it was more musk. It is one of those fragrances YOU HAVE TO TRY ON before you judge it. I love it for dinner dates and business meetings it is sophisticated in everyway. I give jessica simpson MAJOR props for going there with this ''mature'' scent and I'm 24 and like scents like fancy, fantasy, pink sugar, fancy love, viva la juicy so dont knock it till you try it.

Perfect for a rainy day like today!

Vanillic Rose, jasmine & light, spicy patchouli in a fizzy green bubble of zesty bergamont and fresh bamboo. Just a gorgeous combo on my skin.

I prefer to wear this for it's youthful, effervescent quality over it's older more serious sister Emeraude. One, because the reformulated version (which I recently tried)is terrible--I take back part of my review below. And two, because I seldom wear my vintages (special occasions only). In that case, Fancy Nights is the perfect alternative. Sprayed it on this morning...so far so good with staying power and sillage. My first test of it was a dabber (manufactuer sample). I think that might have something to do with why it didn't hold or project before.

I feel sorry for those that don't enjoy this particular flanker. It seems to not be the favorite of the 4. I just pray they don't discontinue it.

Awful smelling to my nose! I prefer more sugary sweet scents. Completely different from her first two scents. i regret buying this. The only reason i bought this was this was on a HUGE discount. And by me being a sucker for celebrity fragrances, i had to get it! Initial spray was all patchouli. The dry down was better, not great but better, i could finally get some vanilla! But besides that this is awful to me! I Had to give it to my grandmother because this scent kinda reminds me of old people. The funny thing is that she thought it smell to old for her! Haha! Hopefully i fancy you is a departure from this!

The initial patchouli blast was slightly abrasive, but nothing a hardcore patchouli-lover can't handle of course! The scent dried down to a slightly chocolatey, warm, fluffy type of patchouli with a touch of powdery sandalwood in the base.

While this fragrance is much softer and has no rough edges, it bears just enough similarity on my skin to Tom Ford's White Patchouli (a scent that gives me an instant headache) that I am happily willing to pass this by for purely emotional reasons.

I went and got this at full price I couldn't help myself. I like her other perfumes so I knew it would be strong because of the bottle colour and the nights in the name but I figured she makes nice perfumes so she couldn't have mucked this one up to much. Well I nearly died when I sprayed it. Then half an hour later I was in love. I like this as much as my No.19 from Chanel and Safari from Ralph Lauren. I will always have a bottle of this. It dries to a sweet powdery musk almost like musk sticks the pink ones. My husband can't get enough of it either. The patchouli is strong but rounded no sharp like a knife. I am glad Jess made this one it shows she doesn't want to just please everybody she has a bit of personality. I found it lasted on me I wish I could get the lotion. It kinda reminds me of SJP Covet in the green bottle just for it's strangeness and cobination of strange notes but somehow it works. I think these are the new perfumes that I am turning to. The ones that sound strange but somehow they work.

This is soft and a bit spicy at the same time. If used with a light touch, it reminds me of the original Skin Musk by Bonne Bell (now Parfums de Coeur), or the original Heaven Sent. The strong patchouli note is present in all of these.

Fancy Nights is very good, I was expecting it to be similar to Lacroix Patchouli but it is not, although I like both they are very very diferent.
Fancy Nights is very herbal, fresh, oriental and it has somewhat a candy vibe to it too.
The patchouly note is big but very well blended with the incensy woods. I dont think its very heavy but I would say that is suits both genders, my boyfriend is gonna love it on him too.
This fragrance must have been inspired in one trip to Marocco because it definatly has that oasis palace feeling.
I really like it and I'm going to wear it a lot for sure. Another good job from Jessica Simpson's team!

Oh wow! The first time I sprayed this, I absolutely hated it! I thought it reeked of a strong licorice smell; abhorring! I tucked the card in my purse and after a while, I took another whiff and found it intriguing to say the least. So different from her other perfumes, maybe that's why I didn't like it before. I sprayed it on my arm and waited, and I fell in love with it, though I purchased only the lotion, figuring that would be enough for me, and it was. The dry down is so soft and the patchouli so nicely done in this one. One of my winter go-to scents and my husband adores this one too. He thinks it smells sexy! Jessica should have named this one "Sexy Nights". BTW, her ad for this is so beautiful-great job, Jess!

This is an extremely strong scent. The patchouli is overpowering. Fancy Nights is very similar to Elizabeth Taylor's Passion, gross!

I was actually expecting this to be a lot drier (less sweet) than it turned out. This ended up on my skin as sweet powder, which I associate more with vintage perfumes. However, I'm actually glad of the dry-down because sometimes patchouli-spice-bombs can come off masculine smelling, so kudos to them for not ending on a heavy cedar note, but I could have used a bit more green notes (maybe something plantlike) at the end to cut through the powdered sugar effect.

i don't know why but this reminds me of opium by ysl mixed with jaffas. very exotic spicy oriental type fragrance yet still nice and unique.

If you love this, try Christian Lacroix C'est le fete Patchouli!

So, I bought this blind on Ebay and I like it...in moderation. I am in love with patchouli but this scent screams patchouli! The oak moss, sandalwood, and amber make it warm, woody, and spicy...all qualities that I love in a fragrance. However, this frag boasts a slight leathery tone that I am not fond of. I think I will try one spray only for an evening out. This is def not a scent to be worn to the office!

I was shocked by this, jessica took quite a turn with this. You gotta admit the girl has guts for doing this and breaking away from the typical celeb fruity floral craze! At first I HATED it I thought it smelt old old old.... But I went back to dillards and actually tried it on my hand it was so strong and spicy I wanted to get it off but decided to wait and I'm glad that I did because it turned into something really pretty and sweet on me the vanilla really came out in it and I loved it! you HAVE to try it on before you knock it believe Me that is what I did and now I like it.

As others have done a pretty good job of describing the scent of this unusual and beautiful fragrance, I thought I’d try and give you a visual representation instead.

It’s a balmy early evening at the height of summer. Jessica has been to the beach and is walking home. She still has some coconut oil on her neck and her hair is up. She wipes the sweat from her brow and runs her hands along the strands of hair that are sticking to the back of her neck. She stops to buy a bunch of pink roses from a street vendor and slowly continues on her way through an older part of town.

Jessica buries her nose in the pink roses and loses herself in their sweet aroma. Suddenly, she sees a spice and oils shop that she had never noticed before. She looks through the musty window. The store appears deserted. Intrigued, Jessica slowly opens the door and enters. The thick smell of oil and incense fills the air. Huge glass pots full of spices line the walls. A burning cigar sits in an ashtray on the counter. There is a faded picture of Jerry Hall advertising Opium perfume on the wall.

Outside the sun is setting and the store is filled with amber rays of light. Cigar smoke swirls and dances slowly in the air.

I dont know why i bought this.. i mean its not bad, its just not how i want my perfumes to be smelling. Way too much patchouli. there will people who will LOVE this.. but its just not for me. However, the dry down is SPECTACULAR, there is still a hint of patchouli but its not overly powering anymore, the dry down to me smells like creamy spicy vanilla which is really yummy. but besides the dry down i dont really like it!

A very bold and risky smell for a celebrity fragrance, is really unique, i had never smell something similar, the pachuli stand out, good but just too much for me, not everyone can use it...

Good staying power, it last all day! ;)

Wow! This is an "old school" chypre and definitely "odd man out" in the JS line; no wonder those who love her others dislike this one! (It has that in common with Britney Spears' Believe -- seriously and completely different from the rest of the line.)

There's a pleasant "mustiness" about it that's oh-so-lightly sweetened by an undercurrent of vanilla and the patchouli! A very bitter, chewy kind of patchouli. This could easily be worn by a man. Feels rich! Lovely bitter but warm sandalwood & patchouli drydown lasts for hours & hours after the sweet top & heart notes fade.

The green & gold bottle brings to mind a deep green velvet or even the green felt of a pool table. I'm very glad this came my way.

This is so unexpected for a fragrance by Jessica Simpson of all people. To me this smells very much like something i'd expect to find come out of the middle east and for me its breathtaking both in the good and bad sense. The Patchouli in this fragrance is just on a whole other level, its incredibly intense and heavy. I love it when it settles down to the amber and the vanille but that patchouli for me was always lingering around but it smelt much sweeter when the vanille especially, came into play. When i bought this one for myself convincing myself that as a man i could wear this scent i decided to seek out the other 2 fragrances in the fancy line and they are without a doubt "female" in every sense but i might make an attempt at layering this fragrance with fancy love because that one is quite lovely as well. Like many reviewers have commented, this fragrance is heavy on Patchouli so if you're like me and you love patchouli, then this one has bucketloads for you. Its perfect for a dinner date, i think its quite sexy once it settles and the staying power for me was fantastic, i could still smell it on me the next morning.

I received my bottle in the mail last night and decided to wear it right before (and to) bed. It is a very masculine scent & I think could easily be considered unisex. I am not sure my husband actually liked it. I think it would be interesting to mix the first Fancy with Fancy nights and see if it warms and sweetens this one up a tad. Thoughts? Hmmm....Patchouli, Inscense & Resin walk into a bar.....and stay there. For a long, long time. Then they get bored, get up and leave and amber, vanilla and floral come in and stay awhile.

The end result on my skin smelled like an old library book that someone had flattened out roses or a corsage that they wanted to preserve in, with just a touch of the smell that drifts out of a Seattle "head shop" on a rainy day smells like. Coffee, pot, inscense, Nag Champa....very heady and earthy & comforting in a weird way. Somehow, it all just comes together and works! I will probably save this for the fall or winter. It just is not a "summery" type of fragrance to my nose.

Very bold...you must love patchouli to wear or like this scent. Heavy patchouli..not a bad thing. Smells like patchouli and vanilla..noticeable scent. Not for work!!!! Unless you work at a nightclub or bar!!!

For sophisticated mature ladies at charity balls and the like. I didn't like it because it was too powdery and a bit stuffy. Although it's definitely a night scent, it suits a public event more than a private, intimate evening.

FANCY NIGHTS is a deeply sensual, bold and beautiful fragrance. The scent makes me scream in absolute delight 'I love patchouli!' The patchouli note is absolutely stunning in this composition and so masterfully blended with other layers to produce gorgeous, unusual and very attractive scent. The composition is indeed reminds me of a night sky with dark swirls and mysterious clouds, perhaps a bit like on Starry Night painting by Van Gough. The scent is so sensual and romantic but also a bit mystical and Goth, like a legend of two lovers that could only meet in the darkness of the night under the myriad of stars and could never proclaim their love by daylight.

The opening envelops me right away in a thick cloud of bergamot and patchouli. There is something else in the opening that I would describe as noble and fragrant wood scent, which could be papyrus but as I have never smelled it, I cannot be sure. I love the opening. The patchouli is bold, dark, overpowering and just simply gorgeous. The patchouli continues to dominate the heart notes like a darkness covering the night sky. The roses and jasmine bloom in the darkness and their heady aroma mixed with the patchouli creates this deep, sensual, incense like, and honey floral scent. The base notes are smooth and dark honeyed woods. The oakmoss adds coolness to the base notes like a chilly fog in the night.

I normally do not like patchouli, so I was totally surprised that I fell in love with FANCY NIGHTS as it is predominantly patchouli fragrance. This is not typical modern gourmand patchouli. The sweetness in this perfume is more honey like than candy like. The sillage and longevity are decent. I think that this fragrance is definitely worth a try.

(This review is for Eau de Perfume)

ok, this perfume definetely smells like some of the classics my mom owns. I can only imagine myself wearing this maybe to a classy dinner or party, but in no way can I picture this a perfume I wear often because I feel it is a bit too heavy and I can't picture wearing this during the day to work let's say. I'm actually going to give this perfume to my mother for her birthday because I think she is going to totally love this. Like everyone says it smells NOTHING like Fancy Love or Fancy. Fancy love is my favorite perfume now for years, Fancy Nights is nothing like this. It's in a whole other genre. It's not really me but I can see a real sophisticated lady loving this, and I really believe my mom will wear this. I can't wait to give it to her

This one is quite masculine with good lasting power and though I tend to like a more masculine scent, this one is a bit much for me. I might even say it could be a unisex scent. I do like it though and who knows maybe it will grow on me over time. For anyone looking to purchase it, it is NOTHING like the other Fancy scents and certainly for a more mature crowd.

Finally a celeb perfume that smells like a perfume - not a candy, bubble gum or fruit basket. I really love it. It's feminine&elegant. And yes the patchouly is the star but I don't find it similar to Angel(which I don't like).

oh i cant even imagine to but this. i can smell olive. i like to eat olive but i hate to smell like'em.

I think this is a really surprisingly complex perfume, and one of the better celeb fragrances. Yes, it is very different from her others scents, but it its really unique. Nice blend of floral and spice.

This perfume is so good! People constantly complement me when I wear this. It is a very sexy sensual scent. I usually hate perfumes with alot of heavy patchouli in them but this one just hit it right. I have heard people compare it to Angel but to me it is nothing like Angel. It is more powdery and smells a million times better. It is nothing like her other Fancy perfumes so I would suggest smelling it first before buying it on a blind purchase. I just love it for winter.

blllaaaaahhhhh!!! i wanted to buy this cuz i thought the bottle looked cool but when i smelled the tester, it smelled like that powdery stuff u use to kill cockroaches. i cannot believe it.....blah

Fancy Nights by Jessica Simpson is a real, big surprise. I'm a fan of patchouli and I adore its scent, however I hadn't managed to find a well-done patchouli fragrance that wasn't niche or from an upscale, commercialised brand, until now.

This particular fragrance has everything I love; a rich oriental feel, green earthiness and great intensity. Le Labo's Patchouli 24 is my favourite patchouli fragrance so far, and believe it or not, Fancy Nights reminds me of it. In truth, Fancy Nights is obviously softer and more feminine, however the distinguishable similarities are there.

The opening top notes are quite rich and bold. Definitely a night fragrance or one you would wear in Winter. First off, I noticed that it smelt a little bit like Prada, yet it was a touch sweeter and minus the amber.

Towards the heart, Fancy Nights takes a strange turn and becomes increasingly powdery. It created that softness that I often desire when my hard-hitting patchouli fragrances become too much. I like this powdery aspect and it think it works well. It's also likely to attract buyers that aren't usually ones to like heavy orientals or patchouli-based scents.

The longevity is rather rewarding and the sillage is moderately strong. I'm rather grateful that Jessica Simpson has released this fragrance seeming that it is a rather risky choice. I'm seriously considering buying this fragrance for the up-coming Winter months.

Just had a chance to try this out. What an incredible contradiction in styles! I cannot wear Ms. Simpson's other creations because they are too cloyingly sweet; though I wish I could simply because they smell awesome out of the bottle but bomb on my skin.

But this perfume... Whew! I almost dropped down on my knees when they made me smell the tester strip at the mall.

Very masculine, spicy, and avant garde. It has TREMENDOUS presence. Like a strong liquid poison in an exciting gothic story... I don't necessarily WANT to drink it. But I can't stop myself from picking up the toxic green bottle... Curious to see what's inside, I sniff this mysterious potion even if it could possibly kill me to do it.

Unconventional, peculiar, but SO enticing... Needs to be tested first or a direct full dose on your skin could kill you. Don't say you haven't been warned...

This is a mature, spicy, complex scent. Something about it captivates my scenses. It is indeed a strong, lasting perfume, and not for those that like darker, spice, musk type scents. I don't get a lot of compliments when I wear it, but I still love it.

Finally i got this one, i bought it in Singapore, coz very hard to find it in my country Indonesia. I'm a lil bit shocked when i sniff it, fyi i bought it with blind purchase. It's very different with 2 Fancy before. This is very mature. I think Jessica wannabe like Chanel. The smell is very glamour n classy. It's not really my type, but i still like it just because it is Jessica Simpson. I'm her big fans anyway. Hope next perfume is easier to wear like Fancy or Fancy Love.

Surprisingly a deep, spicy amber on my skin along the lines of Obsession, Youth Dew or a less dirty Tabu..the jasmine is not asserting itself. The bottle is beautiful, the scent inside womanly and exotic. Very subtle after it settles with great lasting power. It's a very nicely done spicy oriental; whoever is expecting the usual should test first!

I'm sure i'm gonna buy this perfume for christmas. I already had Fancy n Fancy Love, and they both are gorgeous, i believe in Jessica, so i'll buy this perfume with a blind purchase :)

Very pleasantly surprised with this perfume! The ingredients boast of a very exotic scent and it is true. This is a beautiful, rich, opulent and seductive scent. This cacophony of decadent florals dries into a soft powder with moderate sillage and longevity. I'm keeping the tester strip in my purse! This one is a winner for me. I'm definitely thinking about buying!

I agree with iMaverick! this is a baby Emeraude for sure, hands down! I really do love it beacuse of that. BUT my only concern is sillage. I tested it and 1 hour later it's virtually gone. I don't want to bathe in it just to get the scent to stay either. That's the only thing that makes me hesitate about owning it. Makes me sad because I really do love it. I also feel that if I want an Emeraude like scent, I can just as easy go to my local drug store and snag me an Emeraude, albeit not a vintage, for a fraction of the cost.

BTW, Anyone else have sillage problems with this?

It's an exotic, powdery scent, just like all the classic fumes like Emeraude, Shalimar. You have be confident enough to wear it well.

I tried this perfume at priceline here in Australia and did some shopping. At first it smelt like dirty dusty horrible smell. As I was having dinner because I was doing late night shopping at Myer, half an hour had passed since I sprayed it. I thought what is that powdery smell and when I smelt my wrist it was fancy nights. The girls at priceline said it did not sell as well as the other two fancy perfumes. I have the other two and yes they are completely different to this. This really has to have a chance to develop on the skin. At first I hated it but I am glad I gave it some time as it developed almost like samsara or shalimar. It is different to those but in the same sort of category very powdery on me. If you don't like powdery dry down then this is not for you, if you do don't dismiss it until you give it a chance to dry and develop it is lovely.

Wow. I am baffled by how much this resembles 'Neonatura Cocoon' by Yves Rocher.... Could be all that patchouli that's giving me that impression, but they really do. I had Cocoon for a short time, but returned it because it was something that simply did not suit me(I tried). But I remember thinking(and I think I may have written a review about this on Cocoon's page), that Cocoon and the original Fancy kind of 'go together' in a way. Like, one can almost be layered on top of the other, because they play off each other. So this kind of makes sense that I'm now thinking that 'Cocoon' resembles 'Fancy Nights'. I also agree with the first reviewer "guest_bettye" that this reminds me of a middle eastern scent. It's not bad, and I may wish to wear this sometimes, but I'd have to be in the right mood for it, seeing as there are so many other fragrances out there that I prefer so much more.

Jessica Simpson's "Fancy Nights" is a deceptive little green vixen! After her launch of Fancy, Fancy Love and Dessert Line of fragrances, I wasn't expecting to be lulled by Fancy Nights. I liked Fancy Night's predecessors. Both smelled great, but I wasn't surprisngly blown away by them. However, this green gadget definitely grabbed my attention when I smelled it. Where Fancy was pretty, feminine and flirty, Fancy Nights is deeper, provocative and opulent. Although, I'm a bit biased because I'm always seduced by the aroma of bulgarian rose and night blooming jasmine. I'm definitely loving the egyptian papyrus as well. Can't say it's totally original because it bears resemblances to Givenchy creations, namely Amarige Mariage and Organza Indescence. However, it's a very lovely fragrance, totally affordable and definitely outside of the box in compariosn to Jessica's previous fragrances. Not for the young flirty girlies. Definitely for the mature, sexy ladies. This fragrance is all woman!

This, is not a pretty fragrance. THIS IS A GORGEOUS, SEDUCTIVE, and BEAUTIFUL SCENT! To compare it, it smells like a 'baby' Shalimar with its powdery bergamot opening or a 'baby' Emeraude or even one of those ayurvedic blended perfume oils. Jessica has done good if she insisted on something that smelled like this. Dry peppery notes blend with powdery bulgarian rose. The Jasmine sweetens together with smoky ambered vanilla and dry but not sweaty patchouli, like Prada's original flagship scent, which to me is nice, but I love Fancy Nights better because it isn't crazily marked up as Prada and doesn't smell cutesy-pretty (translated fruity-floral). Perfume, to me, should make you feel beautiful, mysterious and seductive. If you like fruity floral, don't bother with this one--there's nothing about it that smells like 99-cent shampoo and conditioner.

This is my third post to keep everyone up on the progression of this particular perfume since it was quite unusual to my typical taste, my initial feelings etc.

My husband loves it, and I got complimented while under the nose of the Dentist and his helper the other day. So I think this is a nice hit. But you must at least have a taste for patchouli, as this is quite rich in this perfume.

I did not consider this a unisex fragrance, but for some reason, my husband loves it and sprays himself with it. He tells me to buy more, and would make love to me a million times over should I continue to wear this! Shocking but true.

Love it! This is not for the main stream perfume lovers though. Jessica has reached over into niche perfumery a bit and I like it! Department store fragrances are such a turn off for me (aside from a few gems). Im not surprised its getting such bad reviews from lovers of Britney, Mariah etc. Not downing these people at all but this just isnt the normal sweet, fruity floral. Its sexy and lush...I find that if a person doesnt like niche perfumery they think everything that doesnt smell like sugar is "grandma" or "old lady" so Im sure this will get those comments...You just have to be able to pul it off with confidence. Try it out and instead of thinking "mmeeh grannie!" think "balmy summer night, a little left over suntan lotion from the day, and deep earthy richness" Yummy!

Ok, I initially wrote a scathing opinion on this perfume. But now I have to tell you why I will be changing my mind on my initial impression of Fancy Nights.

When I first smelled it, I was shocked. As it was so different from her Fancy, and Fancy Love.

I went back today and tried it again, and somehow, I fell for it. I was rather shocked how much I changed my mind from my initial opinion.

I collect perfumes. I have over 100. My faves are Poeme, Ysatis, Blue Butterfly, Some of Brittany Spears, etc...This one I just had to add to my collection.

I think I would consider it an urban evening, not truly Fancy Evening as the add implies. But more like movies, cute t-shirt night out...

I think most people will be initially shocked by how different this perfume is at first. But if you like earthy, give it a try one week after you first hate it, try it, or spray it. And perhaps you will be like me and end up buying it.

I think I will layer it on myself with some other perfumes that I have. And I will also let my husband use it.

I THINK THIS THE BEST ONE OUT OF THE BUNCH. I'M STILL TESTING BUT I WON'T PURCHASE AT A RETAIL PRICE..MAYBE AT A DEEP DISCOUNT

I MUST SAY THAT THE OTHER TWO FANCY ARE AWFUL !

I sampled this from a magazine and that was enough to put me off in wanting to try this on my skin. It's more of a retro green scent that is for a more mature woman. It's a strong, powdery and weird and annoying to my nose. With respect to the perfume it must be the papyrus note that I don't like since I've never smelled it before. I don't like it but others might so try it before you buy!

Jessica!!! What happened! I love Fancy! So I thought you would keep in the groove with you wonderful initial knack as great perfume nose! Fancy Nights is horrible! I might as well roll in dampened dirt and spray some Patchouli allover me. Now come on...The bottle is very pretty, as well as the color, but OMG, this one stinks. I am just shocked too that you consider this something that is fancy for evenings. I see someone popping out of a van smoking a joint, looking like he was dragged through the mud. And I like Patchouli, but this is just toooo much.

From good, to better, to stench! I like Jasmine, I thought, until I smelled this. I wish I could smell the patchouli because I LOVE patchouli. ALL I smell is jasmine and it's a most depressing scent ever. The jasmine is awful because it's just got mold on it or because it just doesn't go together with the other ingredients listed. I won't give this another chance because I don't want it to "grow" on me. When someone walks past me, what they smell is exactly what I thought of this perfume at the first instant, and I don't ever want to smell this bad to anyone! This scent makes me think of someone sleeping in a damp basement, on a stained matress. This is how I would imagine them to smell. Boy is this just not for me. I'd love be able to smell it on someone that loves it and that it smells nice on. I don't like to bash this but it's just very offensive.

just to let you know, don't dismiss a fragrance at first try. It is a new olfactory experience..you'll need at least 3 tries to know whether you like it or not...esp, for fragrances that are more complex like this one.

this is my new holy grail perfume besides Palazzo fendi

I got to sniff this one and I must say that you could definitely find someone wearing this in the dark of night. I thought it was too much like dumping patchouli oil on yourself. It's different let's put it that way.

Tried this at Macy's... Very very potent, go easy as a lil goes a looong way, reminds me of the Prada perfume w/ its rich spicy patchouli base. Would be nice if used very very sparingly sorta like Baby Phat's Seductive Goddess...Wouldnt mind having a bottle at a deep discount price...

Ok, I backed it up and tried it again. It took me THREE tries to finally like this. When you first spray it it is VERY loud and VERY sharp within the likes of Angel. It smells like some old Brute cologne or Older old spice. However, after 20 minutes and we get to the dryyyyyy down of the dry down it starts to smell really good. If you're going to wear this to a dinner or somewhere nice I would suggest spraying this around 7:30 p.m. By 8:15 p.m it should be ready to go. I'll get this but it's going have to be at a verrry good price :)

I finally got to try Nights today. It's a nice stronger patchouli powdery scent. It's something completely different from the other Fancys. I like it. It's definitely her most sophisticated scent. I think a guy could easily pull this off. It's different & I give props to Jessica for making something different. It isn't just another sweet fruity floral. I'll get me a bottle. : )

I was able to test this today. This is very reminiscent of and 80's classic smell: POWDERY PATCHOULI!!! It horrible, and definitely her worst. I love her other 2 and wear them quite often. I am happy that she went in a different direction that other celebs with this one, but the direction was the wrong choice. Sorry Jess!

I love this..it is complex and rich..not annoying in any way to me...reminds me of a middle eastern scent...

I cant wait to try it!! I have very high hopes for Fancy Nights!!! I hope it doesnt disappoint!! : )
