I don't know why some people say Fancy Love smells like Burberry. I cannot stomach any of the Burberry line perfumes. They all give me a head ache. I didn't get a head ache from this perfume at all. Of all of Jessica Simpson's fragrances, I love this one the most. Fancy Love is sweet, milky ,gentle ,whipped cream rich ,warm ,non cloying, soft like you're on a puffy cloud. There are no rough edges. It is not a sweet tooth gourmand, but it is as close to a hybrid between warm rich comforting sweet milk candy and floral. I find this fragrant very unique. On me it lasts all day. I only use one spray on my sleeves. The endurance is amazing. Although this is a cute fluffy sweet youthful fragrant, there is something that opens my senses to detect a more refined sophistication with Fancy Love without being obnoxious, desperate , or pure head ache in a bottle like many Burberry perfumes. It can be either a day time fragrant or evening . I wore this fragrant in the 90 + degree heat and no head ache at all.

I sampled this from a tester at Belk a few weeks ago. I found a great price on a 3.4oz bottle New in Box on ebay for only $25. I decided to give it a try, it came in the mail yesterday. I really like the scent, especially for the first few hours - warm creamy vanilla, a little spice, slightly sweet but not overpowering - really nice. Towards the end of the day, i'm noticing that im smelling lots of light almost peachy notes that i'm not sure i'm fond of. A good scent but don't know that i would buy in this large size again, maybe a smaller one.

On me this is a Burberry original dupe Lots of apricots and sparkles. I like but don't love. Much prefer Fancy Nights which has loads of patch. One thing in FL's favour though, it lasts longer than the Burberry.

This does resemble Burberry classic but is not as well-rounded. Lasted about 1.5 hours on me, so it's not a keeper.

I am on my 5th or 7th bottle idk I lost track that's how many times I buy this bottle. I wear it so much that I am immune to the smell yet others smell it and compliment me everytime I wear it. It's not overpowering the smell. I'm 25 therefore I would like to smell like a 25 yr old no offense to you older ladies. It smells sweet yet clean and crisp. Highly Recommend the white bottle.

This is another perfume I would never buy for myself. I received a HUGE bottle of this in a gift set. It came with the matching shower gel and lotion. I've worn it a few times since. I get so many compliments when I wear it. It's a warm musky floral. I can detect some aldehydes which I am a huge fan of. It's a great fall/winter scent. You could also pull it off on a warm summer evening. I like it I just don't wear it often enough to have to purchase another bottle anytime soon

I have been a fan of the original Fancy for years. I would take Fancy Love over the original anyday! I love it! I bought the small sample size bottle for $7 at Kmart blindly, and fell in love! The initial scent isnt that pleasant but the drydown, which reveals itself in 5 to ten minutes, is the beautiful champange vanilla musk that romances your senses. I get compliments at work all the time when I wear this. I work in fast food and customers are always pleasantly surprised when they catch a whiff over the lingering smell of fries and beef.. 5 out of 5 for scent, the price could be a bit less, and the packaging is pretty atrocious, but its what's inside that counts right??

I had such high hopes for this fragrance! I bought it blind off ebay and couldn't wait to smell this seemingly dreamy, cozy, romantic peach champagne perfume. Sadly my skin seems to be highly responsive to musk and Fancy Love turned into Fancy Musk. I could smell bubbly peaches when I sprayed it on my shirt but on me I could not pull it off. I'm jealous of you lucky ladies who can!

Well this to me smells like burberry but ALOT better, It seems to last longer than burberry I've owned both and I will no longer buy burberry when I can get this for a better price and the smell is just as good if not better. Jessica knows what she is doing and she won me over with this warm, peachy sweet romantic fragrance. I wore this and somebody actually thought I was wearing burberry they were shocked and impressed when I told them it was by jessica simpson. I'm not a fragrance snob and don't have a problem with jessica but some people are stuck up like that I guess. The fragrance last up to about 6 hours + It will always be a part of my collection and have a special place in my heart. I'm glad I switched from burberry to this. Went through 3 bottles since it came out and will buy many more to come! 59 vs 70 dollars fancy love wins

Not like Burberry Classic! I also bought this based on the reviews without smelling FL first that this was a cheaper dupe for Burberry. I can see some slight similarities at first but this is SO POWDERY! The dry down is so sweet and cheap smelling. I bought the largest bottle and I will be throwing it away. I tried it twice and both times had to wash it off. Burberry has a fruity soft clean smell and this was so overwhelmingly powdery. I can't see why people think this a dupe for Burberry?

I absolutely love the smell of this perfume! I also use the 'regular' Fancy perfume, which smells like a yummy dessert without being too sweet, like carmel/brown sugar/vanilla, but not too young or candy smelling like the Britney Spears perfumes. I'm not too good at describing notes in perfumes, but Fancy Love has an initial creamy vanilla top note on me, with a slight floral undertone (I can't tell what florals I'm picking up with this). It's a light and beautiful scent that lasts without being overwhelming. My husband loves it and he's always sniffing at my neck, which he never has before, and I'm getting compliments from other people as well. This is my new favorite scent! Jessica Simpson, in my opinion, has done very well with her perfumes. I smelled the Fancy Nights from the perfume bottle at the store, but it smelled very strong and old-fashioned surprisingly so. However, from reading the reviews on Fancy Nights, it starts off very strong but dries down differently, so I'd like to get a sample before committing to a full bottle and try that one out too.

I bought this as a blind buy because of all the rave reviews I read online and how everyone said it smells just like Burberry Classic, one of my all time favourite perfumes. It was cheaper than Burberry and I got the largest bottle. Unfortunately, to my nose, the scent is not that similar. They are somewhat alike, but I wouldn't call them dupes of each other. This one smells more artificial, sweeter and more cloying than Burberry. It smells cheaper. Sometimes it gives me a headache, even if it's not that strong. I've got plenty of compliments for it, the combination of sweet florals is appealing, but to my nose it's just so... average. I will no re-purchase as long as Burberry Classic is still in the making.

I feel silly admitting it, but I tend to enjoy Jessica Simpson's perfumes. I didn't think I would, but I really like Fancy Love and wear it regularly. It smells soapy, clean, sweet, and powdery, and it's light enough for warm weather but still lingers all day. In my opinion, it is simply a happy, fresh, day-brightening scent. At first, I wondered if it was a little too syrupy and cloying to be tolerable, but I quickly grew to love it.

I also like the packaging in terms of appearance, but of course, the opaque, white bottle prevents me from seeing how much is left. This is a small complaint, though.

I will probably always have this scent in my collection, and fortunately, it's inexpensive. If you shun this scent because it's Jessica Simpson, I'd suggest giving it a try and seeing if you like it.

I tried this at sears. It smells exactly like Burberry. So if u want the burberry perfume and find it to be real pricey then I suggest u try this. Its cheaper and smells just like Burberry.

Love this stuff! While I'm not usually one to buy celebrity frangrances or clothing lines, I couldn't get this scent out of my mind! I always receive compliments when wearing this. I also think that this is a frangrance that can be worn year round.

Regrettably (in more ways than one) this slightly citrusy powdery fragrance smells exactly like Summer's Eve "feminine wash" on me. While not everyone would make the association, of course, I prefer not to smell like something that, er, specific. Even without that association, though, it isn't particularly pleasant with my chemistry - it's quite sharp and plain, with no sweetness or floral notes. Just powder and artificial citrus.

On me, this fragrance is very similar to Burberry Classic. It is slightly creamier and a bit more powdery, but the two perfumes share the same basic scent. I don't love Burberry Classic enough to have a full bottle, but I like it enough to have a small bottle of its clone, Fancy Love. Its a thick, rich vanilla and cream type scent. I find it a bit cloying and overpowering sometimes, but applied lightly it's very nice.

Yes, it's a dupe for Burberry. And also Mira Bai, which has better staying power. Very similar to Viva La Juicy and Kathy Hilton as well, but not quite a dupe. Spot on for Burberry and Mira Bai though. No reason to shell out the dough for the pricey ones (and discontinued, in the case of Mira Bai) when there is this for half the price. Just tell everyone it is Burberry when they ask. P.S. I disagree that this scent smells "clean." I hate clean. :) This is sweet and warm. Not the slightest bit clean or fresh (thank goodness...I'm so sick of "fresh!").
