Midnight Fantasy

If the original Fantasy is a sunny afternoon, Midnight Fantasy is the same girl after dark.

Black cherry, plum and raspberry open deep and jammy, with an almost liqueur-like richness. The heart is velvety: night-blooming orchid, freesia and iris, creamy and soft. Then musk, amber and vanilla take over, leaving a warm, slightly powdery sweetness that feels made for low lights.

The fruit stays rich instead of candy-bright, so this one belongs to dinners, nights out and the colder months. Crystals scattered across the midnight-blue globe bottle sparkle against the dark liquid inside.

For fans of fruity-sweet perfumes who want something more grown-up, it’s the obvious next step. The 3.3 oz Eau de Parfum is the size to get.

Compare it with the brighter original Fantasy, or go darker still with Dior’s almond-and-vanilla Hypnotic Poison. Every Britney Spears perfume is here.
