To be honest, when I first tested this perfume a few years back, I wasn't too excited. Sniffed it at a store, rolled my eyes, and thought to myself, another toothache in a bottle. Didn't even spray it on my skin. It took a second sniffing for me to change my mind. A few months after, I was at a friends's place and we decided to go out for dinner. I borrowed her scarf as it had gotten quite chilly. The entire night I couldn't help nuzzling my nose in that scarf. It just smelled heavenly. I was so surprised when my friend told me it was fancy. It wasn't a bit like how I remembered it. Another reason to always test perfume on the skin so it can bloom.

The very next day, I got me a full sized bottle. It's just gorgeous for cold winter days. Fancy opens fruity with strong hints of berries and apricot. I must admit, I don't particularly enjoy the opening hence the hate at first sniff at the store earlier. The fruits are too syrupy sweet for my liking. But be patient. Give it time and the scent develops into a warm sensual blend of toasted almonds and creamy buttery caramel with hints of soft vanilla. The Jasmine and Gardenia never appear on my skin. I wish they did.
The bottle just reminds me of a wedding cake waiting to be cut. It's foody, sweet and fun. Not to be taken seriously. I find it a tad heavy to wear in summers, but it's deliciously thick and warm for colder months. The price is just right. I just wish it had a better name."Fancy" just doesn't sound right. The dry-down is quite similar to Burberry Brit.

I like the bottle too.(you'd think," i went through the trouble of writing this review and she is commenting about the bottle"!)But i am a freak when comes to cute perfume bottles;) Nice review:)
I'm not the biggest fan of celebrity perfumes ( except Britney Spears Curious). Don't really like the bottle too much, seems a bit dated lol.
Great review as always (:

This is one of my most favorite perfumes! I only have a tiny bit left and so sad!
I adore this perfume! It is such a beautiful vanilla fragrance :) You know what, whenever I wear it I get heaps of compliments, mostly from girls. I don't get compliments for any other niche/expensive ones but for this! Crowd pleaser :)

@Miranda:I really like it too. The good thing is, it's not too pricey to replace :)
@Su: Really? :) to think a celebrity perfume could do that! Funny how males and females tend to appreciate different scents.
:) most of the time it happened with me that when i rejected something on store or shopping mall, after few days when my friends wear it i feel, Oh God how badly i rejected it at that time :O, lolzzzzzz
