The lovely people at Superdrug were kind enough to send me the new Britney fragrance to review, so, here are my thoughts!
I actually really like the packaging for this perfume. It may be bright and in-your-face, but I think the blue and red color scheme looks good, and I like the fonts used. Inside the box lid is a picture of Britney in one of her Circus costumes.
The bottle is a nice blue color, but the stuck on red crystals are a little bit tacky looking. But then you don't expect award-winning design for an inexpensive perfume (this retails at £24.99). As for the important bit, how it smells. It's certainly very sweet, but still pleasant, not sickly. It's definitely not a perfume you'd describe as sophisticated, but then again, sometimes it's nice to be fun, rather than sophisticated.
The scent lasted from morning to about midday, but the bottle isn't so fragile that you couldn't carry it in your bag and re-apply during the day. Due to it's sweet, fruity scent, I'd say this would be a good perfume for a younger teen, perhaps as a first perfume after using body sprays. It'd be an ideal Christmas present for a younger sister or other relative. You can buy Circus Fantasy
here from Superdrug.
Overall rating: 3.5/5.
What did you think of this review? Will you check out Britney's new perfume?

I liked the smell of Fantasy, but all in all.. meh. Too much buck for the brand.
Apparently, its the in thing nowadays for celebrities to have perfumes or colognes. It just makes me roll my eyes. :p
But, from the sound of this review, this particular perfume would probably be pretty good for teenagers. :) So, at least its not terrible.
this may make me sound like a snob, but i;d never ever ever wear that.
i was at shoppersdrugmart the other day and was looking for a new perfume, i actually think out of all the celebrity perfumes, britneys really arnt that bad, but yea their problably for teens .
