When it comes to celeb perfumes they arent something I normally seek out. But occasionally Ill get a few for Christmas or birthdays which is how I got to try out a lot of Britney's fragrances - however this was one I just wasnt interested in trying. I have no idea why I just assumed from the way it was described online that it would be horrible so instead I bought myself the normal Fantasy perfume and my mom treated herself to this 'Hidden Fantasy' but we both hated the ones we had bought. Luckily though we both liked the perfume the other had bought so we ended up swapping - Ive been VERY shocked by how nice this one is. It wont be hidden in my house ever again.

Useful Information:
Price: Around £12 - 30ml bottle.
Stockists: Boots, Superdrug, Bodycare, The Perfume Shop etc ...
Other Info: This is also available in 15, 50 & 100ml bottle sizes - for different prices. Described as a fruity-floral fragrance suitable for everyday wear to any occassion - so perfect for most women really.

The Bottle:

The bottle follows the same shape design as all of the others in the Fantasy range - the only difference between the fragrances is the colour of the bottle. The bottom of the bottle is a big dome shape which is quite weighty which works both for and against the design. It works because it means displaying this is easy as it wont topple over - as it also has a very flat bottom, but if your carrying this around it might make your bag a little heavier than normal so you cant carry it in very small bags - although that might be just a problem I have because I own the 100ml bottle which is the biggest size. The bottom part of the bottle is studded with little silver gems which add a cute touch to the design and around the lid is a red, gemmed ring - which I believe can be removed and worn as an actual ring, although Ive never bothered using it that way it looks too nice on the bottle for me to take it off! At the top of the bottle is a smaller red dome which can be pulled off to reveal the push down nozzle - that seems to be stuck on very securely as when I have carried this around it has never come off and sprayed in my bag so the bottle design is very feminine with a slight edge and it is practical as well - if a little bit heavy!

The Scent:

Im pretty rubbish when it comes to noticing the individual notes in a perfume so I did do some digging around the net to find this list of ingredients:

Top Notes: Orange, Tangerine & Lemon Verbena.
Middle Notes: Clove, Sweet Notes, Jasmine & Lily.
Base Notes: Vanilla, Woods, Sandalwood & Amber.

Now when I read that it did put me off the perfume before I actually smelt it. I assumed this would smell far too citrussy for me - as all the top notes are citrus fruits and that type of scent just doesnt appeal to me at all. The notes list made me think this would be a very one dimensional perfume but it really isnt - this isnt just like applying orange juice to your skin!

Im not going to deny when you first apply this the top notes of Orange & Tangerine are the strongest but they arent too strong or overpowering for me thankfully. They smell fruity and tangy but not overly citrussy - and thats coming from someone who cannot stand citrus scents so if they were too strong believe me I would be able to pick up on them! They are more zesty and fruity than anything else and they do die down quite quickly - although the do remain in the background of the scent throughout wearing this. When this starts to die down a little the floral notes become much more noticable and the Jasmine I reckon is the strongest of those mixed with the 'sweet notes' whatever they might be but they do make the scent sweeter and the Clove starts to make the scent overall a bit heavier and more suitable for nightime - when the cloves start to warm up the scent it becomes much more of a sexy, seductive fragrance than the light, fruity one you get at first.

Nothing shocking about the bottom notes as they are fairly regular and I can really only pick out the Vanilla scent which I think adds to the sweet notes. This isnt overly sweet though - its odd because normally a perfume is either sweet & light or floral and heavy but this one manages to mix all of those things together and still manages to make me smell amazing. It is a very seductive scent in my opinion.

Staying Power:
The staying power for this one is brilliant in my opinion. I applied this, this morning around 10am and its still going strong now about 5 hours later and from previous applications I know it lasts around 8 hours. You wont need to keep reapplying this all the time so a bottle will last you ages.

Age?:
I think this would appeal to most ages really because there are so many different levels to the perfume which bits of will appeal to different people. If I had to pick Id say 20's and upwards would like this scent most because it might be a little too heavy for teens. Try before you buy though as you might love or hate it!

Day Or Night? Summer Or Winter?
I do wear this in the day sometimes BUT I would say it is more suited to wearing at night. This is a gorgeous, seductive fragrance which means it might be a little heavy for daytime use for some people. But I would say it is suitable for wearing at any time of the year and to any occasion - the description might have been right after all!

I cannot recommend this highly enough and I am very glad I got to try it out after my poor assumption on it before I did. This might be one for everyone and I think most people will really love this one. Highly recommended.

Thanks For Reading.
