About this deal

A reviewer below mentioned the smell of books. I love this because it smells like an old opened book. There’s a little dust, an underlying mustiness, and an unusual inky element. Above all, there is the smell of paper. I am no expert but I’ll venture to guess it is due to the papyrus note. The patchouli is a bit dirty but like those found in head shops. It is very verdant here, like reading books in a forest. Longevity is superb, and though I find it is linear it is surprisingly complex, too. In search of a beautiful everyday gourmand I became aware of Fancy. In addition, here on Parfumo a similarity to Note de Vanille by Micallef was given, which I found very interesting. Straightforward and inexpensive, this is a classic because it delivers what a lot of people really want: a simple gourmand scent with a clean fruity opening. For some people (including myself), this sort of scent can get headachey, but I also can’t deny its potential to deliver pure, simple pleasure, especially if you’re someone who enjoys those fruity notes that lean towards shampoo-ey and artificial. these terms and conditions in full. If you disagree with any part of these terms and conditions, do Refreshingly, this sweet base is shaped by caramel and those milky notes to make it smoother and more soothing than many straight vanilla-sugar or playdough-like almond sweet scents. The sweetness is most overwhelming, confusing, and slightly cloying in the fruity opening, and is pared down as the fruits gradually evaporate, leaving a still-quite-sweet-but-quieter-and-more-comforting base. The sugar from the caramel and the cream from those lactonic notes ease the transition as the fruits bow out and the quieter sweet tail of this fragrance begins.

At this point the pink plastic perfuminess of the opening has finally calmed down, creating a gourmand scent that is much more realistic and edible than at previous points.I don’t terribly mind this phase of Fancy: it’s uninteresting, artificial, and safe, but the base notes’ sweetness without the plastic fruit overload on top is not too cloying when you get used to it. The hint of white florals adds a nice soft touch, and the artificial qualities of the scent don’t get too headache-y for me at this stage. Simpson's next album, "A Public Affair," went Gold, and her 2008 album, "Do you Know," reflected a return to Simpson's Texas roots and a country music sound. "Do You Know" was Jessica Simpson's first #1 album. Simpson also returned to reality television with appearances on the series, "The Price of Beauty" and "Fashion Star." Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS. Nonetheless, much of creativity is just combining ideas that came before you, and the sweet lactonic base of Curve Crush and the pink plastic fruit top of Burberry Brit are, indeed, two ideas that blend well together in this fragrance. Thus, though most of the components of Fancy are things I’ve seen before, the combination does make sense.

After smelling Fancy, I can say for the first time that I truly understand what people mean whence they describe a fragrance as smelling "synthetic." It is best to smell this fragrance as it wafts up to your nose from your arms as it does not smell at all pleasant if you place your nose close to your arm to sniff it, which is untrue of every other fragrance I have tried. In the last four to six hours or so, the milk and gauzy artificial sweet sheen tap out, leaving a very faint caramel-almond haze that’s actually quite delicious. This is where I can understand the “burnt sugar cookie” comparison. The late drydown is a bona fide almond-caramel-cookie gourmand, with no fruit and berries, petals or milk anywhere in sight. The warm, liquid, melty notes have cooled down and coalesced, and the result of this simple delight of a baked good. The balance here is impressive, and the evolution is solid. Despite initially feeling like an uninspired copycat early 2000s sweet scent, Fancy does bring its own distinct thing to the table, particularly in that gorgeous gourmand drydown. I can see how this became a classic early 2000s sugary-fruity perfume. He starts very fruity I perceive clearly the apricot and also red berries. The pear shows me unfortunately not. After this short prelude, liquid, light caramel notes are very present for me. The vanilla permanently hovers very young and light above all the fragrance notes. The strong sweetness in the heart is softened by soft sandalwood.The performance of Fancy is definitely weaker than that of something like Burberry Brit, and even slightly weaker than that of Curve Crush. Within three hours, Fancy’s fruity top notes evaporate entirely, leaving you with a faint trail of white florals and caramel-sweetened milk lotion. I can still smell this trail of base notes on my skin for another good nine hours.

For me there are two similarities firstly they are both vanilla scents and secondly they both have something very soft...Otherwise they are very very different scents. Fancy is younger and more caramelly - Note Vanille is more grown up, more upscale and less gourmand. Sweet caramel and milk, with hints of flower petals — I mostly get a suggestion of gardenia — make up the heart of this scent. It’s comforting, though still plastic-y and perfume-y in a way reminiscent of a celebrity scented lotion in the Marshall’s discount bin rather than anything real. But this is, after all, a celebrity designer perfume (and one that comes in lotion form to boot). Of course it smells like its genre, especially when this is one of the early 2000s launches that defined it.

The gardenia stays in its lane. This doesn’t become a floral perfume. Instead, it’s dusted by the lilting, faint, white-almost-green, soft-almost-powdery scent of gardenia petals. They provide a refreshing reprieve from the straightforward sugary sweetness of the rest of the scent. It’s still another sweetish accord, so it’s not an entirely fresh breath of air, but there’s a lightness and natural freshness to it that keeps things from getting too cloying and candy-like. Simpson entered the perfume world in 2004, partnering with the founder of the Clean line, Randi Shinder, to produce a line of edible lip glosses, perfumes and cosmetics called Dessert Beauty and aimed at a young market.

Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). If you ignore the fruity first five minutes and the caramel-brown-sugar nuance, Fancy by Jessica Simpson is extremely similar to Curve Crush for Women by Liz Claiborne, to the point that I would call Curve Crush a dupe, except for the fact it came first (2003, compared to Fancy’s 2008). Though it’s a bit sweeter and less creamy than Curve Crush, Fancy has the same exact heart of milky vanilla sugar, with a hint of too-sweet plastic fruits borrowed from another hit 2003 sweet fragrance, Burberry’s hit Burberry Brit. Right as I finished writing this review, my boyfriend came home and said I smell nice and asked what I was wearing. I feel incredibly justified in my above statements.) I like Fancy's deep dry down much better than its top and heart notes. In the deep dry down I still perceive vanilla and a bit of caramel, but I also perceive a nice, warm amber. It remains very sweet into the deep dry down, too. Together the vanilla, caramel, and amber are nice but nevertheless quite foodie. I am not sure I would want to live through the top and heart notes every time I wore this just to get to the base notes. Jessica Simpson defied expectation with her celebuscent, Fancy Nights. Not that I see her donning a lab coat and protective goggles while comparing methods of oakmoss extraction. Maybe this did, in fact, take place. I highly doubt it but one never knows. Oh, but to take a whiff of this beauty, one has to wonder if maybe she could hold a discussion about such things.This particular fragrance has everything I love; a rich oriental feel, green earthiness and great intensity. Le Labo's Patchouli 24 is my favourite patchouli fragrance so far, and believe it or not, Fancy Nights reminds me of it. In truth, Fancy Nights is obviously softer and more feminine, however the distinguishable similarities are there. Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication. I have seen that there is a lot of love for this fragrance, so I would like to observe here that I do not categorically dismiss all celebrity perfumes. There are serious quality differences between this one and Britney Spears BELIEVE or MIDNIGHT FANTASY or the four Kat Von D launches which I recently reviewed. This Parlux creation seems to be made with components at about the level of Coty non-prestige launches such as Halle Berry HALLE. I am sorry but this is simply too low for my nose and very unpleasant to wear on my skin.
