I purchased my bottle of Hidden Fantasy at the same time that I bought my bottle of Midnight Fantasy which I have a review of here: http://putbeautytowords.blogspot.com/2011/02/my-new-favourite-winter-fragrance.html
I paid $19.99 for this 50 ml bottle of Hidden Fantasy—a great deal since its original price is around $60!
Like the other perfumes in the Fantasy line, Hidden Fantasy is sweet smelling and very girly. However, I find that this scent is a bit more sophisticated because it has more of a clean fruity sweetness rather than a heavy sugary one.
The colour of the bottle and the designs on the box seem a bit misleading. The red shades and cherry images have the potential to lead those unfamiliar with the fragrance to believe that it is cherry scented which is not the case at all. There is no cherry in this fragrance. Instead, the notes include Sweet Orange, Tangerine, Grapefruit Blossoms, French Flowering Verbena, Stargazer Lily, Sambac Jasmine, Clove, Mexican Vanilla Bean, Jacaranda Wood, Sandalwood, and Amber.
I have heard some people describe the scent as an orange spice tea and others as an orange creamsicle. In my opinion this fragrance smells like a sophisticated version of an orange creamsicle. It’s a bit spicy but also very creamy and fruity. Normally I take little interest in citrus scents but this one is lighter and in no way sour. It is perfect for winter and may seem out of place in the summer due to its warmth.
Out of all the fragrances in the Fantasy line I have found that this one has the least amount of staying power. It lasts for about 4 hours on me. That said, I really do like the scent and definitely would repurchase it.
