Fantasme Ted Lapidus for women

One of the worst perfumes I've ever smelled. Cloying sweetness - why would anyone like to smell like winegum peaches? And it lasts forever and ever and ever.

Um perfume muito doce,cheiro de bala de framboesa pessego.Não recomendo para as pessoas que tem enxaqueca.Mas reconheço a fixação grande desse perfume.

Once I actually experienced Fantasme, I got very confused by the reviews here.
80's? Not at all!
Very soft, fruity and sweet, not anywhere *near* an 80s powerhouse wonder in either potency or style.
If anything, I would say that for a perfume created in 1992, Fantasme was way ahead of its day.

Its so polite, fruity and sweet as to be positively inoffensive, which is not praise in my vocabulary. I have no clue where they put all those pretty flowers or even where all the specific fruit are, because all I get is some vague tutti frutti with a dash of vanilla, kind of like the initial encounter with a stick of Juicy Fruit chewing gum.

Hey, at least I did get the chewing gum reference!

Could I be partially anosmic to this supposed wonder?
That makes me a little sad because from the reviews here, I feel I am missing something great, and Fantasme is not only little known but extremely affordable.
And again - perhaps I am anosmic to this particular combination of aromachemicals, but not only is Fantasme's sillage ultra discreet (a 4 out of 10), the lasting power before disappearing into some sort of generic vanilla who-the-heck-knows-what is about 4 hours.
All in all, a scent they should strip of its sexy "Fantasme" name (fantasme=naughty fantasy in French) and rename "Meh".

Fantasme is an atypical fragrance that reminds me of the glorious fruity florals of the 80s era. I could almost say that it's also a gourmand on my skin.

I can see why people would call it bubblegummy. It has these delicious juicy fruits in the opening that carry all the way to the heart. Pineapple, raspberry, and peach are the most prominent at this stage.

In the heart phase, I get sweet/wet fruits, jasmines, violets, and roses. Very feminine and rich with depth and dimension.

The base is a sweet floral tending towards vanillic gourmand.

To sum it up: Bright flowers, sweet fruits, and creamy vanilla with a mild hint of green notes to keep it fresh from first spritz to 8 hours later. It's like being surrounded by candy clouds with my feet on a patch of damp grass.

Seriously... What's not to love? :o)

To me this perfume starts as lemonade, then it smells like a mix of valila and raspberry sweets. I also think it is kind of retro. It has charakter. Cheerfull, sweet, soft, long lasting, in my opinion, better for day time.

I think Fantasme is an amazing creation. Reminds me very much of thick high quality raspberry liqueur, sweet but at the same time not cloying. The lasting power is way above average which seems to be very consistent with Ted's fragrances.

Fantasme is my blind buy, I was intrigued by the notes but I expected more vanillic sweetness, therefore I am a bit disappointed. I agree it has some retro vibe, close to the fruity chypres, quite pleasant but not exceptional. After a few hours I was bored with it and I decided to apply DIVA, which somehow completed the effect. Not bad, but I have better ones and will not keep Fantasme, because I know someone who will appreciate it more than I do.

i have mixed feeling about this one! it was my blind buy since i was intrigued by the name of the fragrance and from the first moment i opened it i smelled something very over the top sweet. It was like bubble gum scent mixed with furniture polish scent. I waited quite long to give it a try. I was afraid that it could give me a headache or make me dizzy. Then one day i went to the cinema and in a hurry sprayed what i got first in my hand. It was "Fantasme". All the time i was in the car, then in the cinema, then back home i was smelling the scent. And it didn´t disturbe me or make me dizzy! I actually enjopyed it.
I feel vanilla and raspberry dominate here, but in general it is a very yummy scent, very warm. I do not feel any green notes at all, but do feel pineapple and peach and rose.
And it lasts!!! For hours!!! And it´s edt!!!
As i sniff more and more my wrist i really begin to like it. I am certainly keeping this one but i will use it only occasionaly, as this is something i wouldn´t like to use for everyday wear. And it is stricly a cold weather scent IMO! And i also think that this one should not be sprayed generously over entire body but only to the wrists, neck and behind the ears, that will be enough. Just like a slice of cake when you´re on diet, this one is the same. You can have it but in a small doses :)

Missing notes here are:

- Red current
- Blackberry
- Freesia
- Magnolia
- Iris

This feels a little retro to me. It has a very green opening, heavy on the violets. I did get a brief moment, as the raspberry and rose began to emerge, when I started to smell chewing gum. I became excited that this might transform into a scent I could love. But the fruits faded, and now I am left with a base of rose, violet, orris, and sandalwood. It's not bad, it just smells a bit "uptight" on my chemistry.

I feel like I used to smell this on someone, somewhere in the early '90's...

delicious fruity and mysterious scent in one. so bright and full of passion and also very irresistible sexy guess about the vanilla base note which one is remarquable but not to sweet in combination with the powdery warmth of sandalwood and musk.
used to wear this when i was 20+ and always got compliments for it.
i still love it but i did not rebuy as i m more mature now and have got a lot of new scents to discover... just got a miniature for my collection and i sniff on it when i wanna feel kind of nostalgic :)

Shares many notes with Nanette Lepore's Nanette Lepore, among them: white peach, rose, jasmine, amber and violet. My Fantasme is an edt but it's even more long-lasting than my edp NL, which seems to go on forever on my skin.

With NL on one wrist and Fantasme on the other I'm hard pressed to tell the difference, until the drydown.

These are both very cheerful & mood-lifting fragrances - fruity, cotton candy clouds, but NL begins and remains sweet while Fantasme quickly moves into a deep, dark velvet place with a bite of something bitter and even somewhat mysterious... mysterious like church is mysterious and comforting in a way we don't quite understand.

Fantasme is a floral vanilla with violet, jasmine and rose being most prominent to my nose for the first couple of hours during which time the incense of amber, sandalwood and cedar warm and begin to rise to the forefront, making Fantasme equally appropriate for daytime/work and evening leisure. I wouldn't call this particularly romantic, rather more warm and comforting...like mom, a sister or a good friend to whom you can tell anything and everything rather than a date or romantic partner you're trying to impress.

I do like Fastasme very, very much, so given the history of others I like, it will probably be discontinued...

Nosed by the great Pierre Bourdon

EL MEJOR MAS DELICIOOSO Y FEMENINO QUE DESPIERTA LA SENSUALIDAD DE LA MUJER.

Yeah, friends, I just bought this one today.

I couldn't resist to its strong appeal.

Fantasme - fantasy in English. In Portuguese the word "fantasme" doesn't exist, but "fantasma" - just change "e" by "a" - means "phantom" in my language.
Well, nothing more appropriate for the occasion!

Happy HELLoween, fellows!

Vanilla and bubble gum, a curious mix.
A "must-have", for sure.

I can't say that it's too sweet. It reminds me turkish rakhat-loukum, which is not too sweet.

To me fantasme smells like a vanilla cake!sweet & delicious like a mild woman in her 30s or 40s.Powdery,mature,confident and romantic without insisting in bolding herself or exaggerating.to me doesn't smell fruity at all,at least not one of those fruities that catches the attention of teenagers.it reminds me a mature lady who is warm and social and a very good housewife.it lasts for a long time,without annoying nose.

Very sweet. This is a must have if you like vanilla.

it reminds me something of tresor by lancome
