I'm glad I brought this on special, not a fan. I didn't test the scent as I brought it online in a sale. I love the original pink fantasy and thought I'd like to try a different one as it was so cheap. I find this is more of a mature scent for my liking. Maybe it's just I prefer sweeter scents but I'll be giving this one to someone else. If you like sweet scents I don't think this is a good choice but it's not horrible or anything like that. It's decent value for money and nice packaging.

Love love love this perfume! It kind of reminds me of a Juniper smell except it also has a dash of fruitiness to it, regardless of what everyone else is saying that it's guava, cause I don't really know what that smells like...

Anyhow, this perfume is amazing and I def. recommend it!

This is an underrated britney perfume! It came out at a not so good time for britney... I think that is a reason why it didnt get much promotion because it wasnt her best of time... the scent itself is a big departure from her other perfumes which makes this one unique in a good way. It has a fresh, clean, innocent, confident approach to it. I can see why It's not everyone's cup of tea but for me It really is one of her best because it is so grown up britney, I like fun scents too but sometimes you just have to have a grown up fragrance for a special occasion and this one works. The fragrance is a bust of juicy guava which makes my mouth water, the patchuli is there but it isnt intense as some think. To me patchuli makes a fragrance very deep well at lot of patchuli does at least, believe isnt like that. It is actually light and pretty. Jessica's fancy nights is a perfect example of a patchuli lovers fragrance. Neither are bad fragrances it's just they don't appeal to some people is all. But for me this is a winner and I wear her fantasy ALOT.

I feel embarrassed to admit that this is actually my HG scent. I'm 26, and I really LOVE it. It has a wood-like scent mixed with a simple sweetness. It provides a great staying power, and it's not too harsh. I get compliments on it all of the time! The packing is nice, looks kind of fancy. I will buy this over and over again!

I love fruity perfumes and was enticed by the guava advertising but ended up giving it to my 16 yr. old daughter because I found it too cheap smelling

I normally don't like patchouli because it smells like sweat to me, and I can smell the patchouli in this fragrance. But with the Guava and Praline it gives it a wonderful balance of the sweetness and softness; That even the biggest patchouli hater (like me) might even enjoy this and actually find it kinda comforting. :) I'm actually enjoying this...

Very surprised, but this perfume is pretty good! I am not a fruity-floral girl, therefore have steered clear of previous Britney and other celeb scents. This is different. It's got more character and is actually unique. Still is sweet, but has an underlying musk, the patchouli maybe? On the down side, it lasts an hour tops.

Overall, I am happy with the purchase. It isn't signature scent quality, but for $20, it's awesome.

I agree with the other reviews that state it smells like a men’s cologne. Luckily, I only got this as a sample when I purchased Midnight Fantasy. I will not purchase.

I really really live this perfume. I noticed that almost everybody says that it smells fruity and light on them, but on me it does smells fruity but turns into a slighty spicy woody scent which was wierd and i was like Wtf?! but i ended up liking it alot :)

I absolutely love this fragrance. I had her previous Curious, which was okay for the age I was when I bought it, then I bought Fantasty and Hidden Fantasy which I DID NOT LIKE. They were very young, but I couldn't have even pictured myself wearing them as a teenager. However, Believe, I was pleasently surprised. A very fresh, fruity fragrance, the kind that makes you discreetly sniff your wrists at any given chance. Guava is very prominent in this scent, as is the orange and honeysuckle. I detect lime as well. On my skin I don't get much of the patchouli or praline notes, just a beautiful, tropical scent reminicent of an Escada fragrance, but with more depth. I save this for spring and summer.

I threw my bottle away today I realized that this came out around the time she shaved her head and spazzed and said she was the anti christ. Also the bottle n top form the 6 point star and its called believe. No thank you I will never purchase this nor her other fragrances nor any celeb fragrances for that matter. Call me crazy if you want to but its all around and its not just Britney just pay attention. I'm not letting anyone of these folks drag me to hell.

I am a bit of a perfume snob however I love this I am on my 3rd bottle, It's such a sexy fragrance and it lingers all day like a beautiful memory.

Cute bottle smells like an expensive fragrance.

I don't really get why there's kinda low ratings for this fragrance! I absolutely love it! It's a lovely scent & it's so florally.. I use it all year round. I got this as a gift from my friend & I've been using it ever since. It smells soooo good & I just can't express enough of my love to it. I think this is the best fragrance I've ever had & I would definitely recommend it to my friends!! It's not tooo expensive & it's affordable & it's also shaped like a diamond! I love this!

I bought this a few Christmases ago as a mini for $12. I love the opening with the guava and others fruits but the dry-down leaves me with a terrible headache and nausea. I couldn't figure out why until recently- it reminds me a lot of the dry-down of Euphoria. There is some creamy floral patchouli aura that's going on that is a no go for me. Too bad as I love the bottle and the color of the juice.

Filling out the ratings really put things into perspective for me. I bought a 100ml for $20 at SDM the other day. I sniffed the bottle and it seemed like an interesting, complex scent. I do like it, but I don't think it's a perfume for me. I love spice but I don't like patchouli, and Believe is very patch-heavy. It starts out sweet and fresh and then morphs to a more grown up, patchouli scent. It's almost masculine, however. When I wore it to school, my friends were complaining about a strong cologne. I only spritzed it on my wrists! Some days, I find some notes out of balance and the whole thing becomes awful. Other days, I love it. I didn't want to have the guilt of having a full bottle forever, so I tossed it. Britney went out on a limb with this scent. I'd rather her stick to her usual sweet concoctions, although I have learned to stay away from all of her stuff. Not for me!

I personally do not find this fragrance "light", it's rather strong actually. I just bought it on a whim at a Christmas sale and I kinda wish i hadn't. the only way i like it is if it is layered with another sent.

This is my least favorite of Britney Spears. Smells like black licorice gross and it's too strong smelling. Definitely wouldn't recommend-smells like a man's nasty aftershave.

I'm sorry, but anyone who says this fragrance is light and airy couldn't be more wrong. It smells like my grandmother used to smell. Very heavy and thick and cloying.

I really enjoyed a sample of this in a magazine insert. But putting it on doesn't really smell as good. Later it smells OK, but not the best fragrance I've had. I am not sure what kind of mood I am in when I use this. Maybe when I want to try something different? But I don't use this everyday and I'll probably have it for years because it's not the worst but it's definitely not my favorite. I would try a sample in store before you purchase if possible!
