Jessica Simpson Fancy Eau de Parfum Spray


I'm not sure if I have actually fell in love with a perfume before, and I don't understand why it has taken me so long to mention this little gem on my blog - after all, Fancy was launched in 2008! I remember smelling it for the first time in a magazine... so warmly sweet and delectable... it was love at first whiff, and I knew I had to get my hands on it! I immediately added it to my wishlist and my boyfriend surprised me the next Christmas  with a deluxe gift box containing the perfume itself, a handy roll-on version, a lotion and a bubble bath.

Fancy by Jessica Simpson is a sexy, luscious gourmand oriental/vanilla fragrance. Perfumer Alexis Dadier whips up a delectable scent, with top notes of pear, apricot and red berries, middle notes of gardenia, jasmine, almond and caramel with sensuous base notes of sandalwood, vanilla and amber. I have always been bad at describing scents but to me, Fancy smells of caramel, vanilla and powder, which makes for a warm and deliciously sweet but never sickly fragrance.

I think Fancy is a pretty strong scent so if gourmand pefumes are not your thing... stay away! It it less sickening than Aquolina Pink Sugar, for example, and to me, Fancy is more grown-up than your typical overly sweet perfume that is aimed at teens or young adults. It also has good lasting power, and this being my all-time favorite fragrance, I think it's appropriate for every occasion and I never get tired of it.

Jessica Simpson Fancy has been discontinued but it's still available on FragranceX, Amazon and a few other websites for around $30.

  6. Mmh j'avoue que dès que j'entends "Jessica Simpson" à côté de quelque chose, je suis immédiatement sceptique (pas bien je sais) mais ton article m'a donné envie de tester le parfum!

    Malheureusement, j'imagine qu'il ne doit pas être dispo en France =/
    A voir...

  7. @Beauty Fiend : They are both sweet smelling but Fancy is less sickening, although I do like Pink Sugar once in a while!

    @Eimear OReilly : I'm glad you like my blog, thanks for the follow (:

    @Crazy Brunette : Je sais, je crois que c'est comme ça pour pas mal de gens, mais moi, dès que je l'ai senti, j'ai été séduite, peu importe son nom ou "créateur" (car on s'entend que ce n'est certainement pas Jessica Simpson elle-même qui l'a créé). Pour ce qui est de sa disponibilité en France, as-tu vérifié sur les sites que j'ai inclu au bas de l'article?

  13. @Dani : Oh well I was assuming it was because it's not available in stores anymore... as far as I know?

    @glittermeup : Is it the one that looks like a green apple?

    @MaviDeniz : Yeah, I couldn't care less about her as an actress, she's useless ahah!
