Key Notes of Fancy
What Does Fancy Smell Like
Fancy by Jessica Simpson opens with a juicy sweetness, a lively blend of apricot and pear enveloped in the sugared tang of red fruits. This fruity opening gives way to a rich and appetizing middle, where the earthy warmth of roasted almond pairs beautifully with the glossy, caramel-like sweetness. This toasty sweetness is made more intricate by the presence of gardenia, lending a subtly creamy floral touch, and a slight hint of jasmine, adding an extra layer of light floral breeze just underneath the surface.
As it evolves on the skin, the fragrance gradually transitions into a smooth and enticing base. Here, the warm and plump scent of amber becomes detectable, grounding the perfume with a resinous depth. This is complemented by the woody creaminess of sandalwood, which adds a calming, soft layer to the composition. This base is then sweetened further by a touch of vanilla, leaving a final trail that's comforting, subtly sweet, and delicately woody.
Review of Fancy
Jessica Simpson's Fancy, an Eau de Parfum formulated in 2008, embodies a playful yet sophisticated spirit. It's a scent that subtly whispers rather than shouts, with a moderate sillage that doesn't overpower the senses. While it's suitable for all seasons, it shines most brightly in the cooler months of fall and winter, with its comforting gourmand and sweet facets warming the skin.
The scent opens on a fruity note, with apricot and pear lending it a light, juicy freshness. As it wears on the skin, it evolves into a heart of caramel and gardenia, the former imbuing it with a delightful, almost dessert-like quality. The floral notes, however, prevent it from tipping over into the realm of the overly sweet.
Simpson's Fancy shows its true character in its dry down. Here, the vanilla, amber, and sandalwood intermingle to create a creamy, smooth base. The overall effect is akin to wrapping oneself in a cozy, aromatic blanket on a chilly evening.
However, the perfume does have its limitations. Its longevity could be better, and it seems to fade a touch too quickly on the skin. It may not be the best choice for a long night out or a busy day at the office. But for a leisurely day at home or a relaxed outing with friends, Fancy proves its mettle.
Women, especially those with a penchant for gourmand fragrances, might find Fancy a worthy addition to their collection. Its comforting sweetness, coupled with its flirtatious fruity notes, make it a charming and inviting scent.
