When you think of celebrity fragrances, Britney Spears is most likely at the top of the list. She launched Fantasy with Elizabeth Arden all the way back in 2005, and it remains a best seller today. Since then, there have been a number of variations of Fantasy, including Midnight Fantasy, Hidden Fantasy and Circus Fantasy. Each variation is completely different, and Island Fantasy, which was launched in April 2013, proves to be the biggest departure from the sugary sweet scent of the original, being a fruity, summer cocktail.
I first heard of Island Fantasy around two summers ago when Fleur De Force mentioned it in a video. The description sounded right up my street but for some reason I kept putting off buying it, even when it was less than £10! I guess I don't really like to risk buying something I've never smelt before. When I saw on the Superdrug website that there was an Island Fantasy Fragrance Mist (£10), it went straight in my basket!
Island Fantasy has tropical top notes of citrus, mandarin, clementine, red berries and watermelon. The heart is made up of luscious florals: jasmine, violet and freesia, and the scent is tempered by a base of musk and sugar cane, a subtle nod to the original Fantasy fragrance. The fruity notes are the most dominant in Island Fantasy, and it really does smell like a sweet, watermelon cocktail that you would sip by the pool. It would make a gorgeous scent to take on holiday with you!I love a good body mist, and Britney Spears Island Fantasy has fit seamlessly into my collection. It's so easy to wear, fun and fruity with a little freshness from the citrus. It reminds me quite a bit of the Victoria Secret Mango Temptation body mist, one of my all time favourites. You can probably pick up the perfume version for a similar price from places like Fragrance Direct and Amazon, but I do love the feeling of a refreshing mist in the summer, and it means you can never go OTT.
