YouTube Made Me Buy It
I sold my 20+ bottles of high-end eau de parfums many, many years ago when my migraines no longer allowed me to wear fragrances of any kind. I recently discovered (accidentally) that I can wear perfume again without getting an immediate headache but only certain scents like vanilla-based gourmands or light fruit-based scents. After wearing Marc Jacobs' "Daisy Eau So Fresh" successfully all summer, I was looking for a warm vanilla/caramel type scent for autumn/winter. I was surprised by how many YouTube perfume snobs recommended this Jessica Simpson fragrance and at under $20 for a 3.4 oz bottle of "Fancy", it was a blind-buy no-brainer. Well, the YouTubers were right. It is a lovely, well-rounded, perfect for cooler weather, inviting fragrance that works well for daytime or evening. The dry-down is exactly a nice creamy, caramel vanilla vibe that lasts surprisingly long and doesn't ever smell artificial or cheap. I get a solid 8 hours from this fragrance with one spray to each wrist and one to my neck. The sillage really only lasts the first 2-3 hours which is just fine with me. I like more intimate fragrances anyway. I prefer to share my scents with only those closest to me, and speaking of those closest, my husband loves this one. Whether you're a picky perfumery expert or just someone looking for an affordable workhorse of a winter fragrance, you cannot go wrong with this yummy gourmand. I rarely gift fragrances but I would definitely give this to any perfume lover/collector unless they specifically have a dislike of gourmand scents. The packaging and bottle are very attractive too. "Fancy" really holds its own among even high-end designer eau de parfums. Ms. Simpson should be very proud of her contribution to the fragrance world. Read more
