Hands down my favorite Britney Spears scent. Its somewhat hard to find where I live but it is simply flawless imo. I can smell such a delicious blueberry/plum/vanilla type fragrance in this. It lasts forever & I get TONS of compliments whenever I wear this. I would say this is a night time fragrance but honestly I wear it in the day as well. This perfume definitely gives off a mysterious vibe as cliche as that may sound. I LOVE the bottle too it makes a perfect addition to my collection and looks like a little potion bottle. I will buy this stuff as long as it is sold.

This is scrumptious. A real pick-me-up scent. I purchased this today after testing both this and In Control- I'm in love. This is less sugary than Fantasy, but equally as delicious. The berries and vanilla are just delicious. Lasting power is better than Fantasy and Radiance. Bottle is cute, but in a tacky way. I will repurchase- this scent captures my personality brilliantly and is my new signature.

This smells similar to the original fantasy but darker and less fruity. Almost identical but maybe a little more masculine smelling and not as strong, again didn't wow me.

Fantasy with Fangs!
I have heard this compared to B&BW Dark Kiss but as I have never smelt DK, I wouldn't know. MF smells of berries, luscious ripe juicy red berries topped with vanilla marscapone. I like it very much when I am in the mood. it has a strangely gothic/halloween feel to it, but maybe that is just me. I find it far more 'out there' than say Freak by Illamasqua which is supposed to be darkly gothic.

..this is bad on me. Shockingly bad actually. I rarely have such a negative reaction when sniffing a perfume but this was a unique circumstance. Everyone's skin handles perfume differently, and it might come down to personal preference, but this is horrendous on me.
I sprayed it on my skin last night and forced myself to give it a few hours to develop before I caved and rushed to the shower to madly scrub it off. Top notes are sharp and chemically: like a synthetic slap to the face. The scent does mellow after a time into a cheap hairspray aroma, mixed in with a dash of dish soap and a dollop of poorly rendered sour synthetic blueberries. There is no cozy warmth to this scent on me, just a cold shrill aroma that screams like a child in a crowded room. It's very irritating and hard to ignore.
It's kind of like they were designing a perfume scent for a child's toy and then they went ahead and marketed it towards teens, hoping adults would pick it up for fun. This smells like it wasn't formulated to be a perfume, it might be better as a body splash or an aroma for those scented nail polishes that Revlon has been releasing.
I like to think that I'm not a perfume snob. I adore gourmand scents (it's practically all I wear) and happily wear sugary perfumes geared towards a younger crowd. I was keen to try something that people said was like blueberry pie - yum, but I don't like my pie soaking in a chemical bath. This is not for me, but there are many rave reviews about it online, so I hope your millage may vary. You should test this in a store before buying it, because when it's wrong, it's soooo wrong.
Hope this helps.
P.S.
Pros
The bottle looks cute.

I love this perfume. The plum, vanilla and the sour cherry mixed is amazing and that is all I smell. The colour of the bottle really suits the fragrance as it's what you'd expect a blueberry candy to smell like. Yum!

Lasting power: Great.
Packaging: Cute midnight blue packaging with diamonds shimmering on the body. Much like Fantasy, only blue.
Scent: Giant, sweet, moist blueberry pie with warm blueberry filling. It stays fairly constant throughout and doesn't change much. I get a lot of dark, dusky berries with a hint of creamy warmth. It mellows out a little bit, more of a warm sweetness coming forth later. I prefer this to the cloying Fantasy. Warning: do not overspray. This can induce crazy headaches!
Update: After a while of use, I've noticed staying power of this is fantastic. Lasts up to 12 hours on me!!

This smells fantastic on my daughter. I will definitely buy this again as a gift for her.
Very pretty, keep in mind this is a perfect scent for a teenager or young woman under 25. The base notes I smell are Vanilla, Blackberry or maybe it's Raspberry. And possibly black cherry. The scent lasts and doesn't disappear. The kind of smell you would find in a night club of girls dancing mixed with sweat and alcohol. A college girl scent that is sweet, sexy, not at all sophisticated but more feminine and fun.
I want to add my daughter is allergic to many perfumes but has no issues with this scent.

I love this scent, it's very sweet but not overpoweringly so. One or two sprays is enough, otherwise it becomes too heavy and far too sweet. I usually spray it on my clothes rather than skin, because I find that it stays 'true' to the scent this way, rather than mixing with my body chemistry and changing.This bottle is also very pretty; it's always on my dresser.

Love this fragrance!! It is one of my favorites! I originally bought it because it was on sale at Shopper's for $20 (small bottle). Everytime I wear this, I get compliments and then have everyone ask what I'm wearing - I get embarassed to tell them its Britney Spears, but everyone loves it!! Smells like blueberries, musky and a hint of vanilla. Its not over powering or strong, but scent sticks around for quite awhile. I will definitly buy it again.

After being pleasantly surprised by the original Fantasy I had to try Midnight Fantasy. I wasn't disappointed. I love the hypnotic plum berry combination along with the vanilla and musk. Definitly a "night time" scent. Very seductive without being overpowering. I will dread the day that you can no longer find this scent. Its brilliant.
"In the top notes there are exotic Framboise, black cherry, and plum. The heart features harmonious dialogue of night orchid, freesia and iris. Amber, musk and vanilla create a dark and warm trace"

I like this fragrance. Sometimes. I love the scent, but it's very sweet, almost sickly if you overdo it. It is something a young teen would wear, and the high school boys and girls would compliment her on it. But as you reach your late teens, early 20's, may not be so well recieved. I like sweet fragrances at times (Paris Hilton Heiress), but can't use this all the time unless I'm in the mood for it. Love the smell, but not as a perfume.

I never thought I'd be a fan of Britney Spears' perfumes, but here we are. This is probably one of my favorite fragrances, & the one I find myself reaching for most when I'm going out. It may not be a complex or mature scent, but I don't really care :) On me it smells like blueberries, cherries, with a hint of citrus, & it dries down to a lovely vanilla finish. It smells good enough to eat, I love it!

It's an absolute one of my favourites.I know it may be considered as little bit tacky since it's connected with Britney and no ofence but I'm not a huge fan of hers but belive the smell itself is divine I just never have enough of it.I use it during the day also.

This is a really gorgeous smell, it's like a darker, sexier, more mature and evening-appropriate version of Britney's Fantasy fragrance. It does smell like blueberries and black cherries. I prefer the normal Fantasy fragrance because it's fruitier and sweeter but this one has a better staying power. The bottle is really pretty as well. Will probably repurchase.

I really like this scent but I didn't want to risk spending $47.50 at Sephora for an ounce. Surprisely, I only spent $16.99 at Marshalls for this fragrance!! This scent is hard to desrcibe but I can tell it is floral. I adore the packaging and I am happy that I got it for a good price. I will repurchase this someday when I run out.

I love this perfume! I'm not good at describing fragrances, but I would say this smells of sweet blueberries and champagne (but not alcohol-y, thank goodness). I don't think the dry down smells too different than the initial spray, nor does the scent change on my skin once it's out of the lovely blue bottle.
Perfumes tend to last an hour at most on me (I spray pulse points *and* hair) but this one actually lasts a few hours. I didn't notice until a friend pointed out that I spelled delicious :)
It's a very youthful, flirtatious and distinct scent, but it's not offensive. It's more on the gourmand side, so I think it would appeal to younger women. That doesn't stop my 40 year old mother from obsessively using mine though!
Even though I'm currently on the lookout for natural non-alcoholic oil perfumes, I will definitely repurchase this. Love!

My fav Britney perfume. I'm slowly collecting her fragrances and this is the best one yet (in my opinion). It smells sweet and sexy with the plum, cherry and blackberry notes. Been reaching for it more often as my "night scent". LOVE! Hopefully she keeps this one around because I will definitely repurchase! BF likes it too so another plus from me!

The bottle is adorable, and the scent is just straight up candy! That's exactly what it smells like to me. I don't wear it as often as I used to though, because after using it for a few years the scent gets tiring.
