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.

Fancy Love fragrance notes:

Top: Goji Leaf, Peach Blossom, Bergamot, Pink Champagne
Middle: Lotus, Peonies, Plumeria, Jasmine, Turkish Rose
Base: Creamy Amber, Blonde Woods, Sensual Musk, Patchouli

Jessica Simpson’s Fancy Love

One tip – apparently, men prefer a sweet smelling fragrance to something floral. 

Fancy, Jessica Simpson’s new fragrance, would absolutely fit the sweet scent requirement.  I had the opportunity to try it recently and I found it to be fruity-sweet at first, but it mellowed with dry down to a sort of warm caramel or toffee scent.  I liked it, my mom liked it, and my daughter loved it. In fact, when it’s missing from my dresser, I know that I can find it in her room.  Not many scents appeal to all ages, but Jessica Simpson’s Fancy is a hit with my family. 

I’ll let you know if Whitney Casey’sThe Man Plan works when I wear Fancy on my next date.

FRAGRANCE NOTES: amber crystals, apricot nectar, pear, gardenia, jasmine, caramel, vanilla crème, sandalwood, red fruits, toasted almonds

The Man Plan and Jessica Simpson’s Fancy

Perennial goof-bot Jessica Simpson is launching another perfume line.  Don’t worry Jessica, most of us have forgotten about Dessert Beauty, the cupcake and frosting inspired lotion that launched to much fanfare at Sephora, only to exit a few months later in a parade of sticky testers.

“With Fancy, I wanted to create a pretty fragrance, one I could be just as comfortable wearing on the red carpet or every day with my favorite jeans. For me Fancy is just that – fancy. This is a special fragrance –personal, whimsical, playful and romantic with a heart of gardenia, an essence I truly cherish.”

I liked the ad at first glance…but look at her shoulder again.  it just looks…weird.   and what’s that dark spot under her armpit?  It can’t be a nipple….or could it?  Anyway, gardenia scents are hard for me to wear and I don’t have particularly high hopes for this, but I’ll check it out in the name of science.
