Jessica Simpson’s Fancy Love

Fancy Love is the newest fragrance from Jessica Simpson. I’m not sure why it’s named “Fancy Love,” and not  something new and unique, because other than the shape of the bottle, it doesn’t remind me of her previous scent, “Fancy,” at all.

Fancy smelled quite a bit like candy to me – it had like a toffee or caramel scent to it. My daughter, Bailey, who is 17, loves Fancy and uses it regularly. Fancy Love  feels like a more mature scent. It has a romantic feel to it with a floral start and a warm sexy base. The scent was a collaboration between Jessica Simpson and a team of perfumers that included Yves Cassar, Celine Barel, Pascal Gaurin, and Clement Gavarry.

I got the press kit for Fancy Love back at the end of May, when Jessica Simpson was still hot and heavy with football player Tony Romo. It mentioned how important “romance” was in her life and how this scent was reminiscent of falling in love and “timeless” white lace.  (Possibly she was thinking marriage?) I hope that the fragrance proves more successful that the Romo/Simpson union. (I do not get the appeal of that boy at all. He’s just a boy. Big deal).

I like the fragrance. I have worn it a few times since it arrived in the mail. It has a long list of fragrance notes – a lot of florals – but I think that the charm is in the base. Amber. Patchouli. Musk. Wood. I love them all.
