A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The kiwi and lychee combination hits with almost jarring brightness, a tart tropical spray that immediately coats the skin. Within moments, the sweetness kicks in—not a refined sweetness, but an almost medicinal candy-like quality that dominates everything else.
As the fruity volatility settles, the cupcake note emerges as the true protagonist, turning creamy and almost vanilla-like whilst the jasmine weaves through with a faint floral hum. The Sharry Baby Orchid adds an unusual boozy warmth that keeps the composition from becoming cloying, lending it a peculiar depth that borders on genuinely interesting.
The base reveals its limitations here—the musk and orris root project weakly, creating a thin, powdery veil that feels more like a whisper than a statement. Within a few hours, the fragrance has practically vanished, leaving behind only a ghost of sweetness and a faint woody dryness that lingers uncertainly on the skin.
Fantasy arrives as a deliberately synthetic confection, and there's an honesty in that artificiality that somehow feels charming rather than cheap. The opening assault of kiwi and lychee creates a tart-sweet syrup, almost edible in its immediacy—think of biting into a gummy sweet that's been dusted with sherbet powder. What elevates this beyond a mere fruity-gourmand rush is how the cupcake note doesn't smell like actual baked goods; instead, it's a creamy, almost vanilla-tinged sweetness that blurs into the floral heart with remarkable smoothness. The Sharry Baby Orchid acts as a peculiar bridge, contributing a boozy-floral warmth that prevents the composition from becoming entirely one-dimensional.
This is a fragrance that wears its DNA proudly—it's unabashedly young, unabashedly sweet, and entirely unashamed of its synthetic DNA. The orris root in the base attempts to lend a powdery, almost retro femininity to the proceedings, though it battles gamely against the relentless musk and woody undertones that feel rather thin and wan. There's a plastic-like quality to the woods here, which paradoxically suits the overall aesthetic.
