I was going to ask about this. Why did the original formula change, and when? It used to be kind of like Fenty level of quality right? Now it’s very **** store I’m assuming (I’ve only ever used circus fantasy)

and the bottle itself has changed too right? 

it has to do with where it's sold, it used to be sold at expensive department stores like Macy's for $60+ and over time it trickled down until it was available at drugstores like Walmart and Walgreens and discount stores like Ross and TJMaxx for $15-20. Cheaper selling price means the perfume has to be cheapr to make

well Revlon bought out EA and fragrances get reformulated all the time for many reasons but the number one reason is just to cut cost. Not her team or Britney's fault, it's usually what happens to a fragrance, Chanel reformulates their famous perfume No. 5 so many times. It's a shame

Ugh this is understandable I guess but also disappointing

FYI I found this! 

When Britney Spears' Fantasy perfume was released back in 2005, I was over the moon in love with it. It was **** with its notes of jasmine and white chocolate, yet sophisticated with orris root and woods. Most of all, it was playful with its creamy, scrumptious note of cupcake.

To me, at the time, Fantasy was such a provocative yet sophisticated gourmand. Its cupcake note was out of this world delicious, yet also unique at the same time. It was not a generic cupcake note that could be found in, say, a candle. No, this was a note that was meant to attract and create a sense of hunger.

Yet, when I went to a perfume counter recently to smell Britney's Fantasy perfume, it was markedly different.

Why? What happened? 

  

 

The original formula for Fantasy perfume came in a slightly different bottle. Look at the necks for both. The original neck had Swarovski crystals around it, while the current one version does not. That's the first step to identifying which version you are smelling. 

What happened was: the glue that was used to hold the Swarovski crystals on the neck of the original bottle could not withstand heat very well. Thus, many consumers complained that the crystals on their bottles simply fell or melted off when the weather was warm. Why did the crystals on the actual bottle adhere to it just fine, but could not remain on the neck? This was because of the difference in materials used. The bottle is made of glass, so the type of glue used could stay on it better than it did on the neck, which I can only guess is made out of "mystery metal" (a term I use to describe metallic materials of unknown origins).

In 2009, the team that was in charge of Britney Spears' perfume line decided to improve the situation by removing the crystals from neck. However, they also changed the formula around this time.

What are the differences in the formulas?

First, let's be clear that the formula listed in the advertisements, then and now, is still the same, which I feel is very misleading. However, it's the amount of each individual ingredient that has changed.

Top notes: Red Lychee; Golden Quince; Kiwi; Cupcake Accord
Middle notes: Jasmine Petals; White Chocolate; Orchid
Base notes: Musk; Orris Root; Sensual Woods

 

How are the two versions different from one another?

In the original version of Britney Spears' Fantasy, the cupcake note was more prominent. It was creamy, lush, and delicious. In fact, the cupcake note was what made the perfume so unique. 

Yet, in the current formula, the cupcake note is nearly non-existent, although it is still there. I can still smell it, but not as the bold, full-bodied note that it once was. Instead, the kiwi note is more prominent, making this perfume smell more tart-y, instead of sweet; more fruity and less gourmand. Of course, this could be because I am used to how the original smelled; perhaps to someone who has not smelled the original Fantasy, the cupcake note in the newer version is still noticeable to them.

So, which version is better?

That's up to you to decide, of course! :-) However, I would say that I prefer the original formula, simply because it was the one that I fell in love with.

Can the original formula be found?

Yes, the original formula can still be found at perfume discounters and on Ebay, but you will need to check the neck of the bottle to be sure. As far as freshness is concerned, I have smelled older bottles of Fantasy, and they were still fresh, due to the fact that most of the ingredients used are synthetics, so they don't really change with age.

Or, if you don't mind spending a bit more money, you may purchase a bottle of Britney Spears Fantasy: Stage Edition perfume, which is a re-release of the 2005 formula.

yeah like sometimes it's not even about money, maybe certain oils or ingredients are not available no more and they are forced to reformulate either because they have no supply of that specific note or they switched suppliers, many reasons.

I mean she initially signed to Coty first and actually launched Curious through Coty, then she took it over to Elizabeth Arden and there was subtle changes in packaging with that like didn't the heart charms had rhinestone chain initially? 

She should just do the Kim route and just solely own her own beauty brand to have fully control over her perfumes, maybe then she can finally come out with a real mens fragrance

I’m out of Drag like 95% of the time. So even when I’m just another gay guy yes, and I have for years 😁 I honestly wear any of her fragrances that I can get my hands on. Right now I have Fantasy, Midnight Fantasy, Circus Fantasy, Curious, Radiance, Cosmic Radiance, and Believe. The thing I love about scents is that they really can smell different on different people, and I just love the way that all her perfumes smell so good 😊

Really? How much would this perfume cost in Brasil? Here in the US this perfume can be found (depending on were you go) from 12-20 dollars 

By the way I love Brasil I hope tp pick up my Portguese classes real soon.

Don't forget to try Prerogative it smells amazing 

Edited June 11, 2021 by Midnight

[alienatedNey]

They make new Pride editions of Fantasy every year  why can’t they go for Midnight Fantasy, Prerogative, or Believe for once? Like, Britney has tons of fragrances, not only Fantasy 

Midnight Fantasy is wayyyyy more popular here in my country for some reasons.

Also yes, can’t believe they’re still using that Vegas pic when we have Glory 2020’s photos

Omg it does!! I have the body lotion (from an Xmas set 😂) it’s all I have left of the set but I use my roommates bottle all the time 😅

[Jamiea1112]

I do love Prerogative. I just didn't think Fantasy was very 'uni***'. But I do love sweet scents.

I just find the Britney scents don't last very long? I need a 'turn heads when you walk in the room' type. Ha!

So I usually do a first layer of Prerogative for sweetness- then a few sprays of Millionaire as a top layer ha!

this guy is like a Britney perfume expert as he has her entire collection, he goes in depth with Curious and the differences, the only thing I know that tells you it’s the original fantasy is the gemstones are green.

The original formula sounds amazing! Unfortunately I only remember buying Fantasy for the first time after 2009. I still love it though.
