Maui Fantasy by Britney Spears is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. Maui Fantasy was launched in 2016. Top notes are Passionfruit, Strelitzia and Pink Grapefruit; middle notes are Tiare Flower, Hibiscus, Cyclamen and Orange Blossom; base notes are Coconut, Vanilla, Musk, White Amber and White Woods.

In January 2016, Britney Spears launches her new perfume within the Fantasy line, a limited edition called Maui Fantasy. This fragrance is her 19th in a row and the 13th of the Fantasy collection.

“Whenever I have a chance to relax and spend time with my family, we escape to Hawaii. Maui is one of my favorite islands. I wanted to create a fragrance that gives me the amazing feeling I have while I’m there – surrounded by the ocean and beautiful flowers. Every time I smell Maui fantasy, it brings me back to a place of happiness and relaxation,” said Britney.

The fragrance opens with a mouthwatering combination of bird of paradise flower, pink grapefruit and passion fruit. The heart is a heady mix of beachy florals such as hibiscus petals, cyclamen, orange blossom and tiare flower (Hawaiian monoi). The base brings a warm and sensual aura with accords of coconut, vanilla, blue musk, white amber and beachy blonde woods.

Available as 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

It’s ok smells like you’re getting out of laundry machine … it’s not sweet or tropical, I will say it’s creamy powdery coconut with soapy notes …

LeilaniYamada

I'm Hawaiian and really wanted to love this one. Unfortunately, at first spray I got a beautiful tropical version of Fantasy...for about 30 seconds...followed by what smells like a fresh and clean dryer sheet. After that, all I got was the fresh dryer sheet scent combined with a gourmand-sweet coconut in an unpleasant way. My skin does tend to rush past the top and middle notes and snuggle down quickly into the base of a scent, so others may get different results. But I think this would have been delicious if 1) the white woods and white amber weren't in the base adding a clean vibe, so you'd get a sweet, gourmand tropical coco-vanilla scent; OR 2) if the vanilla and coconut were dryer and more natural and added a mild woody sweetness, so you'd have a great clean beachy scent. This suffers from trying to do both.

ventez

100% a summer scent. It also has a nice blend with the tropical tones. Lowkey reminds me of a fruity piña colada hehe

Pixieparis

Absolutely beautiful scent I'm sad it's been discontinued it's percent for a summer vacation

galfrom109

scored this at a local perfume kiosk for 40 dollars! Don’t think the salesman knew it was discontinued cause it had sat in the case for years… I get the comparison with the pinkprint/ Miami glow as I have both as well but I personally love Maui the best out of the 3! I get that “gummy” note other reviewers noted & it’s definitely the sweetest out of the 3! Wore it as soon as I bought it and it projected/ lasted a decent 4/5 hours as an EDT. Bummed that it’s discontinued but I’ll cherish the 3.3 ounce I scored today till it’s empty :)

natasha28

upon first spray is smells a lot like irish spring soap in a good way, with an added sweet floral. Maybe a tiny bit of mint too. Clean smelling, but not a fresh real natural fruit/citrus smell. It's a lot different than the other Fantasies flankers. I like this much better than In Bloom. When first sprayed it seems like the silage would be 6feet+. But two hours later and you have to skin your skin directly to smell it (testing in December) . 8.5 hours later and it's barely detectable on the skin. I find the longevity lacking in this flanker compared to some other perfumes in the Fantasy line

Melissa_T

Wearing this today as it’s going to be 55 degrees out today and I’m wanting to wear something summery. I layered this with my VS PINK Coco Vanilla body lotion and my dupe of Mancera Coco Vanille perfume. It makes the coconut note more prominent and gives this fragrance some creaminess. Smells amazing together. Like a cloud of coconut, vanilla, passion fruit & delicate tropical flowers. Definitely a great combo for summer!

GigiKnows

This has a very strong laundry detergent smell. If you want to smell like laundry detergent or a strong car air freshener, then you want this. It does not smell like a Fantasy or a version of one, if you are expecting a Fantasy smell.

saturngigi

This was my first perfume EVER and I’m so so so sad that it got discontinued! It was such a good tropical summer scent! Really miss it :(

Evanquake

This is my all time favourite Fantasy! It’s such a shame that it’s discontinued.
I remember seeing the promo for it everywhere when it first came out and loving it! I recently went on a quest to get all the fantasy perfumes and this, I have to say, is my favourite

Elwira_0

Something in here does not work well on my body.
Dunno why but i don't feel good after trying this bottle.
Too synthetic, chemical to me. I love cheap beach scent so i've already got many of other perfumes, but this one just make me dizzy.
Srry for the negative review but many years i tested again and again. Finally i am just having it , not wearing it.

Beckylynn8881

It’s funny how people are commenting about the dry-down smelling like laundry sheets when on my skin it was the exact opposite! I went to bed with the perfume smelling very clean and with that definite dryer-sheet vibe. However, when I woke up the next morning, the dry-down was a lot fruitier and brighter. I actually found it to be similar to Midnight Fantasy! Funny how perfume can seem so different on other people, or maybe it’s just different perspectives? Anyways, I am enjoying this perfume so far as with all of Britney’s other fragrances :)

darlindol

Ngl it smells like tropical laundry detergent. Not bad if you just want a nice fresh, clean, inoffensive scent, but I don't think I'd ever reach for it if I got it. It's very nice though and I'd love to smell it on others.

TheOriginalDoll

Imagine a warm, sunny, positive, happy, refreshing, relaxing, fun day at a beautiful beach. This is Maui Fantasy - tropical summer in a bottle! 🏖️🥥🌴🌺

The fact that Maui is Britney's favorite place to go to for vacations, makes this perfume even more appealing to me.

I bought it as a gift for my mom, and she loved it!

sophie sanderson

I do like this perfume a lot more than Miami glow I can actually wear this and do enjoy it where as the Miami glow even though the notes are maybe a bit similar in both perfumes there's some thing about Miami glow that I don't feel is ok I think some of the notes are just too sharp too strong or don't blend well together and I could not see myself wanting to buy this perfume any time soon all I can say is I prefer britneys maui fantasy perfume

sophie sanderson

I got this perfume this morning and I'd say it's not as sharp not as overpowering it's softer and the notes I'd say are also blend together really well and yes I'd say some of the notes in this are similar to Miami glow I did get a sample of miami glow and tried it on my skin and I don't know what it is but I just can't wear it there's some thing about it I'm just not ok with it I prefer britneys maui fantasy

valelita

It's a nice fragrance. Very coconutty but sweet. I tend to stay away from coconut in fragrances; there is just something so bland and weird about a pure coconut smell, or maybe it just doesn't work on my skin... But this one is creamy and sweet enough and bright and fruity and I can actually wear it! I loved this when I was a teen (I'm in my late 20s). This perfume is perfect for the beach or pool and works great in hot weather.

If I didn't own Cheirosa 62 and 40 I would keep this perfume, because I think it's good for the beach. It serves its purpose. However I much prefer the cheirosas, so this one's going to my little sister.

BanksBabyBlue

I revived this perfume a few weeks ago. I like coconut and passion fruit smells, but dislike soapy smell. It is not long lasting on my skin and not good tropical weather compared to Britney Spears others EDT, I still like Island Fantasy.
Honestly, I am little bit disappoint on this one.

teeharaz

Beautiful scent at beach. Coconut smell and a bit soapy hint.

blackoutinthezone

This reminds me so much of the scent of a nail shop (acrylic powders) haha, I'm not sure if I'm too into it but it's definitely not an offensive smell.

Stassa

I'm SO happy I decided to give this a try and (blind) buy it! It's a divine combination of passion fruit, tiare and coconut with great lasting power. I will agree with a lot of reviewers who said that it reminds them of "Miami Glow", it definitely does, I would say it's almost a dupe. I bought a 30 ml "Miami Glow" years ago and it smelled exactly like this one. Sadly it has since been discontinued, but "Maui Fantasy" is an amazing replacement for the "Miami Glow" fans and an overall amazing fragrance itself. It smells nothing like the original Fantasy, which is great for me, since I never liked the overly sweet Fantasy and never understood the hype about it.

I would say that "Maui Fantasy" is definitely daytime fragrance but when it comes to seasons, I honestly think it can be worn throughout the year. Maybe it will be even more pleasant as a fragrance during winter, as it will give these nostalgic laid-back, summer vibes. Yay to Brit Brit and her team for yet another great creation!

parfymeentusiasten

Ok!

Has anyone seen the music video of Underdog Project's "Summer Jam"? That is what Maui Fantasy smells like!

I love this!

orangecrystal

I came across this fragrance here on Fragrantica when it was mentioned as being similar to JLo Miami Glow. I love MG but it's obviously been discontinued a long while now so harder to find. To my nose Maui Fantasy smells almost exactly how I remember MG smelling! Yay!

I think MF is sweeter and has less of the "glowy" vibes of MG. The opening is a blast of fruit and then it starts to mellow down to a creamy coconut floral. A wonderful summer scent that makes me feel young and free! :)

Kanutten

Only for hot days, 30'C and up, otherwise it smells like fruity BUBBLEGUM with capital letters. I blind bought it because I wanted to try J.L Miami Glow, but it was impossible to find, and reviews said these were similar. The notes are well blended, and Maui is nice for hot days, but if you don't want to smell like bubblegum or live in a country with long, hot summers, I'd look somewhere else.

Mooncherryblossom13

This was a summer blind buy for me as I was looking for a fruity tropical scent and the notes fit that description perfectly.

As much as I wanted to love this perfume unfortunately it was a letdown: The initial top notes smell like juicy, ripe fruits upon spraying it on my skin, and if those particular notes lasted longer I would be pleased, but they only lasts for a half hour at most. The perfume eventually dries down to what can only be described as a soapy Febreeze smell that completely disappears to nothingness within a 2-3 hours.

Deeply disappointed as I had high expectations because I am a fan of Spears' Fantasy and Midnight Fantasy longevity and scent profiles.

Patricia888

I was on a "expedition" to Britney Spears fragrances. I have now tried most and own many. I bought a 100ml bottle of this as I love tropical scents with coconut but this is not that much tropical to my nose and I always have issues with tiare flower so this will be a pass sadly. I mean I can imagine wearing it once in a while but with my over 200 perfume collection I don`t think I will be reaching for this one much. Too bad Fragrantica does not have an option "so so" or "nothing special" option between "like" and "Don`t like" because this is definitely not a dislike but neither a true "like"?

Hopiesmom

I agree with Gemsense. It smells like a cheap celebrity scent to me as well. It was a disappointing blind buy in my search for a nice tropical summer scent. I thought I would give a celebrity scent a try. Unfortunately it was a scrubber.

rickyfreaky13

This is gummier version of Miami Glow. Smells a lot alike, but Maui Fantasy is the fun young girl hanging on the beach with her friends while drinking soda. On the other hand, Miami Glow is the big sis dressed in sexy bikini with tanned skin, sunbathing on the beach with cocktail on her hand, and all the boys are looking at her.

Gemsense

Upon first spray, this is minty toothpaste! Then it quickly develops into a kids fruity minty toothpaste. Then it fades to nothing. It is like a cheap body spray on me. I will try again in the sweltering heat. Maybe that's what this needs is some major heat?. I'm disappointed that this fades into nothing within literally like two minutes. It's really a bummer. I expected Britney fragrances to work for me but so far, none of them do.

Nataliemarie

Pretty & I do see comparison to J Lo Glow, after it's drying down. But Azuree? No, somebody has a cold! This has no spice, oakmoss, or Leather! It's Mango & Papaya girl!

SweetLadyForOne

I own several Brittany perfumes, and I think they're great. I never thought about buying this one, but it was included in a "lot" of perfume I recently purchased. Tried it today for the first time... And Wow!!! This smells soooo good!!! It's very bright, fresh, juicy fruits, and sweet florals. This is going to be great in the summertime!

Sade800

I bought this as a blind buy and so far I'm enjoying it.
The initial blast (top notes) are very intense and sharp then it smells like Hubba bubba and finally dries down to this delicious sweet clean scent. Longevity is great too!

LunaAnanda12

At first impression I wasn't thrilled but after some sprays over days it grew on me a bit. I get mostly coconut and flowers. This scent does smell nice it's for sure way better than Fantasy in Bloom in my taste. I do have to also say that this scent for some reason reminds me of those craft stores where they sell home decor and things like that. I don't know if it's just me but it reminds me of that for some reason. The bottle and box are really nice it's one of my favorite Fantasy bottles and box.

anneschrock1982

This perfume smelled nothing like I expected but I still love it especially for the warm, sticky summer months. I expected it to be a fruit smoothie cocktail much like Island Fantasy due to the fruit notes but the only fruit I pick up is an initial burst of citrus that fades quickly. This is a clean, breezy creamy floral on me with very sweet flowers. Every time I wear this my wife comments I smell like fabric softener but fresher. I found it to be a great scent to wear around people who dislike perfume or in the very hot months of summer. It lingers for hours, especially on clothing. This is Britney Spears' least gourmond scent in my opinion. I think it would be a great flanker for Curious.

I bought this perfume over a year ago as a blind but. It had several notes that i like to wear. I was pretty excited to get it but was a bit underwhelmed when it actually was delivered.
I expected more of a tropical beachy scent but personally I dont feel it is beach worthy. It is a very sweet feminine summer smell but not fruity as i had hoped. Reminds me a lot of Estée Lauder Beautiful. I basically tucked this perfume with all my other blind buy rejects and didn't touch it again until about a moth ago, and I have been wearing most every day since!

The weather is turning warmer and I felt like my current fragrance was a little too heavy for the unusually warm Days we were having in april, not ready to break out my summer "go-to" scent of FCUK Friction for her, I decided to give Maui Fantasy another try. Sprayed it a few times in all the normal places then threw it in my purse incase I needed it while I was out. Again, still felt like I wanted to like it more than I did so I was kinda bummed but then my boyfriend came to pick me up for the night and immediately said how amazing I smelled! 2 years together and this man has never commented on any kind of fragrance I have ever put on. I received 4 more complements from complete strangers that night. One woman stopped walking, turned around and walked back just to ask what I was wearing!!! I have never in my life had anyone respond to a fragrance I was wearing like this....and I really have always wanted people to react this way to a perfume I was wearing. (Hey, I'm Just being honest) The best part is my boyfriend spent most of the night nuzzled into my neck telling me how amazing I smelled! Lol

Needless to say I absolutely love this perfume after getting such a positive response. I think I have finally found my signature scent after over 30 years of searching. I do have to spray 1 to 2 pumps every few hours so wish it would last a bit longer but its inexpensive so using a bit more is no big deal. The complements keep coming in every time I'm wearing it so it has now become one of my favorites!

Melissa_T

I've been waiting since fall to buy the spring/summer Fantasy's. In the last week I got this, In Bloom, Intimate, Sunset & Island (and Radiance) and just about finished my Britney collection.

Maui is bright & tropical. I get mostly passion fruit and the tropical flowers. I don't sense much coconut but I can tell it's in there... it is more of a subtle creamy sweetness. Coconut is one of my go-to notes for summer so hopefully if I use a coconut body lotion it'll bring that note out more. I do get the dryer sheets comparison and I can't remember exactly what Miami Glow smells like so I can't compare atm (I actually just ordered a bottle today so I'll have to smell them side by side & see if they really are that similar) It does kinda remind me of Miami Glow, but I haven't worn that in ages so I'm going by memory. I used to live in Florida and these kinds of scents bring back memories of my years down there <3

Overall this is a really pretty tropical fragrance that probably blooms beautifully in the summer heat. It's only in the 40's here in NE Ohio but smelling this REALLY has me longing for summer!!

Britney's bottles are probably my favorite perfume bottles ever. I love the globes with the crystals but the frosted ones are just as pretty. They all look so pretty grouped together by color on their very own shelf.

Stopped by my local pharmacy and saw they were selling off testers of perfumes. I looked and found this one which was basically brand new, minus the lid. I recognized it instantly as Britney Spears fragrances are easy to pick out visually and scent -wise I find. Maui Fantasy was a fragrance I had no intention of ever wanting, having disliked the original Fantasy fragrance, due to over spraying it back in the day. For only $20 for a 100ml bottle, it was a bargain! Perfect for all ages and occasions.

When I first smelt it I was in love. I usually don't go for this sweet, clean but mellow type of scent. MF is not unique but I love it none the less. It's a sweet, coconut/vanilla that is well blended, with all the listed notes above being present. To me, it smells like a lovely shampoo, very tropical and a perfect holiday or summer getaway scent. Very fitting of the "Maui Fantasy" name. I did hesitate on buying this as I didn't need it, but this is one of the only perfumes that I've ever smelt that every time I put it down and walked away, I would walk straight back, almost as if it was pulling me into the "fantasy".

galelynn23

I had to write this review because I hesitated buying this scent for a long time due to the comparisons to J.Low's Miami Glow because in my opinion, Miami Glow smells like citrus Raid bug spray. But then others have compared it to Bath & Body works "At the Beach" which I love.
Not only do people have different preferences in scents but obviously their nose can smell very different notes.
I finally purchased Maui Fantasy and I'm so glad I did, I love it! To me it doesn't smell like Miami glow (thank goodness) and it doesn't smell like At the beach either, however it does have similarities that would make it pair well with At the Beach.

To me this actually smells most similar to Escada Born in Paradise but with a more floral soapy dry down where as Born in Paradise has more of a woodsy coconut dry down..
Maybe I'm just crazy but the scent also reminds me a little bit of Wrigley's gum. Both Juicy fruit and Doublemint. It's hard to explain but I really like Maui Fantasy and I'm glad I finally bought it.

Edit add: On the dry down, I do notice a very slight resemblance to Miami Glow but thankfully without the bug spray note.

I'm testing some summer fragrances from my shelves in the middle of a cold Scandinavian winter, simnce I'm going to spend a lot of time in the sun during the coming months.

This little tropical scent in a cute girlish bottle from Britney is my favourite from her. And this is coming from someone who's tested almost all of her scents during the past few weeks as I was on a serious mission to try as many celebrity scents as I can, since I've missed out on pretty much all of them so far.

This is a perfect tropical fruity and coconutty scent with a good amount of tiare flower in it. A combo that always works for me in summer scents.

This has, in my opinion, also been done well: everything is well blended in here, there's nothing dominating over everything else and while this is a fun summer scent, this is not something for teens only. Instead there is a good amount of "summer sophistication" in this one. Suitable for use at the beach, running around in sun, partying and just relaxing after a hot day. For all ages.

And the fact that this one does not have that much to do with any other scents from her Fantasy line is a good thing to me, since I'm not that fond of the others (And please don't get me wrong: they are not bad scents, just a tad too sweet for me, most likely great on someone else's skin).

Starlight_moon

I don’t smell coconut at all. It dries down to a soapy sweet smell and there is not even a hint that it comes from a Fanstasy family. There’s really nothing special about it , not my favorite but I did have really high hopes for this one, hoping for it to be really tropical. But personally I think Island Fantasy is a better match for this. The bottle of the Maui one is pretty though.

apple_melon

Smells so good! Yummy tropical fun scent. I sprayed this before going to bed, when I wake up there's this common soapy scent, almost identical to the complimentary soaps that you get when staying in hotels, weird. But I do love it! Especially the top and middle notes. Bathe me in thisss pls. If you're into At The Beach Fragrance Mist by Bath & Body Works, definitely worth it to try this out! This is quite similar, but sweeter and yummier!

kellsny

This was a blind buy for me. I didnt like it at first but for some reason I kept putting it on. My persistence worked because I really enjoy wearing it now. Its sweet but not too sweet. All notes are very soft and mild. It's a perfect summer scent. The problem is that it doesnt last at all. Unfortunately this is not uncommon with fruity floral scents in my opinion.

carrico1986

Wow! This smells beautiful! It is similar to j.lo's Miami glow but much better! Much cleaner and more "blue" smelling if that makes any sense. J.Lo's Miami glow is sweeter and stickier smelling. This Definitely reminds me of what Hawaii would smell like. My new favorite perfume!

JesperBlacxxi

Looking back on my previous review, I believe that I have more to say. First of all, the silage isn’t great, but the lasting power is amazing. Haven’t exactly counted the hours, but it lasts me all day (I spray twice on the wrists, once on each side of the neck and four-ish times on the body). The scent itself is mainly passion fruit with a coconut note. Smells just like a tropical fruit juice drink. I layer it with some Body Shop coconut body butter to bring out that note, which takes it to a whole ‘nother level for me. It smells quite similar to Nicki’s Pinkprint, but less soapy and with less coconut. I would also say that JLo’s Miami Glow is a fair comparison, though MG is more aggressive and sharp. The bottle looks like something but Hannah Montana, kind of early 2000s tacky, which I think suits Britney’s brand, so, overall, no complaints.

JesperBlacxxi

I was skeptial due to the reviews, but I purchased a 100ml bottle and I don't regret it. It smells like coconut and passionfruit juice to me. Fresh, very different from other Fantasy perfumes. The bottle looks cheap in images, but is definitely better in person.

S4r4

Still on the search for a britney perfume that i do not like!! I tried a lot (at least 6 for now i would say) and they are all sooo goood!!! Since i tend to prefer fresh scents, This one is probably my favorite so far! It's true that it's very similar to Miami Glow wich I love too! But since it as a little more freshness I think I prefer this one over Miami Glow! And for the price?? My god!! It's a winner!

rastamama

Pink grapefruit, pineapple, a little suntan lotion and Tiaré. Nice tropical scent. I think I’ll buy a coconut lotion to layer with this one. On the dry down I can smell hints of Miami Glow, but to be honest it’s an undertone only. On top of that is tropical fruit and tropical flowers. Not so much the deep hot in your face suntan lotion scent that Glow has. Glow is a bit headache inducing. Maui is pretty and a safe Summer scent for ages 16-99. If you like Miami Glow but not the harshness of it, try Maui Fantasy. Very happy with this one

efox

So I only tested this once and therefore the review is based on a single wear. I was not prepared to give it another chance. Don't get me wrong, it is not a bad scent, it smells like coconut/passion fruit fabric softener or hair conditioner, and as such I'd say it smells lovely. But as a personal perfume? Think it would make a pleasant sofa and linen spray if used sparingly. Could appeal to pre-teen/early teens. Very soft sillage and no staying power on me.

Mbrock

Starts with an a huge blast of overly sugared coconut then fades to nothing within a half an hour. No sillage or longevity and the scent isnt really nice. I like most of Britneys perfumes but this is a total fail.

TopDonna321

Smells very similar to Miami Glow, which I also own and love. Maui Fantasy is a slightly younger more juicy scent than MG. Both really nice and perfect for anyone that loves tropical fragrances.

PricklyAndHot

Exciting tropical pyramide and uninteresting mess in result.

White gold-mumma

Straight up coconut.
I love wearing it on hot days.
Doesn't last very long though :(

Contessa01

A coconutty side of Fantasy. Everyone it seems here wears fantasy original so interested more so in the flankers. I love circus, hidden, intimate, rocker, and hidden fantasy. Not a fan of island overly unfortunately but I'll try it again. . I think.in Bloom is just ok. It was a bit generic for me. She definitely does cute bottles I love those big balls with dismantles especially! Anyway Maui is tropical and coconutty so if that's up your alley you'll love it.

mamakatt38

This is one of if not my number one favorite Britney scent ever. It's so different than anything else in her line. I find it bright, refreshing and clean. It is very similar to Miami Glow, which has been mentioned many times but there are little differences. This doesn't have the hit sand note Miami Glow has. They're both good fragrances and I like both. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite though.

bruby

I bought this on a whim based on the low price one day. I love the Midnight Fantasy. But this smells like ice cream to me and although it is airy it also has some oily base (I don't know how else to describe it) that becomes physically nauseating for me and makes me want to puke... I had to give it away.

[email protected]

this has a clean and sweet laundry smell. so disappointing. i thought i would love it based on the notes. too bad though..

bruby15

I bought this blindly today as it was £10 in the store today and my perfume greed got the best of me. As they did not have the tester I came here on fragrantica on my phone and looked up the reviews. Then bought it hoping to smell something nice. Big disappointment! To me it smells like icecream and lasts for just one second then it is gone. I sprayed on my wrist when I left the store and 5 minutes later when I got home, was gone. I don't understand what the fuss here is all about...

Mrs.Allard

Almost identical to Jlo Miami Glow, in fact you can only tell there is a slight difference when compairing them side by side. Jlo is the same scent but more bold and tart and BS Maui is a touch softer. I wouldn't bother buying this one if you already have the Jlo cause they are basically identical. I couldn't help but to buy it cause I love and collect ALL Britney frags and the bottle design is really cute!!

missk

Maui Fantasy is a beautiful Summer fragrance, a scent I very much look forward to wearing when the temperature gauge hits over 30 degrees celsius. It's both beachy and fruity fresh on my skin, almost like the scent of a coconut scented shampoo.

Admittedly Maui Fantasy is not super unique, it is however one of the nicest Britney Spears flankers in recent years. I am pleased to find that Maui Fantasy doesn't smell anything like Island Fantasy, which I had initially feared it would.

On my skin Maui Fantasy is quite sweet and smooth with the subtlest hint of clean fruitiness. It's a fragrance that I'm sure will appeal to many as it is quite versatile and inoffensive.

I am thrilled to bits that Maui Fantasy does not smell like the original Fantasy re-bottled, meaning it's its own stand-alone fragrance. Maui Fantasy also has bold sillage and excellent longevity which only adds to its appeal.

I am tentative to purchase a bottle at this present point in time as I am currently in the midst of a cold Winter season, however come Summer I would not be surprised if I bought a bottle of Maui Fantasy to add to my Britney Spears collection.

Katyycat001

This smells very tropical and fruity! When I smelt this I felt that there was a whole fruit basket chucked in here but the real notes only says it has coconut and passionfruit while I smell something like raspberries and mangoes, either way this scent is perfect for summer!! It's fruity,sunny,sweet and feminine.

Nuitdenoel

So, I have had this for three months now, and though I don't often wear it, with the oppressive heat and humidity that has been the weather of late in my area, it's perfect. I have had such a craving for this juicy little treat today that I immediately came home and sprayed it!

Is it sophisticated? No. Does it smell nice? Oh, yes. Is it fun? Absolutely. I did review this when I first got it, but the weather was cooler. Maui Fantasy does best in the heat, I find. I cannot separate distinct notes but it is certainly tropical.

Sillage and projection are not overwhelming, especially after a good 15 minutes. Maui Fantasy sits close to the skin for several hours. It's fun, juicy, and fruity. I tried a niche sample that everyone said was succulent and fruity but I did not find that sample half as fruity as Maui Fantasy.

Alright. Gonna get lengthy here but stick with me folks, I'm gonna give you a good run down on what you need to know.

This scent is gorgeous. I voted on it with a "like" but it's a very strong like, right on the edge of a "love." Now sometimes I think people confuse the "This Perfume Reminds Me Of" poll. It doesn't have to be a dupe for me to vote for a fragrance "reminding me" of another. It can be just similar. Nicki Minaj's fragrance...THAT is a disrespectful, blatant dupe of JLO's Miami Glow. This one...is not. It is VERY similar but it is not a dupe. They are different. It's funny actually because the difference in the scents...is very clearly and well-represented by the packaging. JLO's Miami Glow smells more "golden bronze" if you know what I mean. It smells slightly more sunscreen-ish, slightly more beach-ish, and a tad bit more heavy and bold. Whereas this fragrance...instead smells more of a airy "blue and white" type of translation. Instead of being as much in the "beachy vein" it's a very similar smell, aiming more towards the direction of an "airy" or "dryer-sheet vein." But again...very similar. This could easily be a flanker of Miami Glow...but Miami Glow is already a flanker of JLO's Original Glow lol. But I can easily see this as being Miami Glow Fresh or Miami Glow Breeze, something to that effect.

Anyway...this fragrance is very well blended. I also voted for this as a "Medium Longevity" but that also...is on the strong side of medium. I spray this on at 8:00AM and it lasts me up until about 2PM, my lunch hour which is about 6 hours. Same goes for projection. Moderate, but on the stronger side of moderate. It projects about 4 feet for the first few hours, then tapers in closer to you.

Like a lot of previous reviewers...I much prefer the original bottle design with the crystals on them as opposed to this "frosted, floral" new design. To me, they look cheaper, but Britney always makes VERY IMPRESSIVE scents so I try to be appreciative of that not really say anything negative about them as the scent is MUCH more important to me than the look of the bottle. If I were absolutely forced to choose one...I must say I would choose Miami Glow over this one, but NOT by much.

In closing, I would like to show some appreciation to Britney's fragrance line and say that in terms of celebrity scents...her fragrances are right up there at the very top, along with Paris Hilton's scents, and JLOs. Those 3 are hands down the best when it comes to always releasing impressive scents. Beyoncé, Katy Perry, along with many others need to take a note or two from those three and their teams.

Scent Itself : 8.5 out of 10.

Longevity - 8/10

Projection - 8/10

Overall Score - 8/10. After considering the low price tag...maybe even a 9. This scent is beautiful. It really is. Perfect for someone who liked the idea of JLO's Miami Glow but prefers something a tad bit fresher. Big thumbs up Britney! You never let us down!

Beth325

This one really surprised me. When I first smelled it I thought it was nice...very tropical, summery, etc. But then I loved it. The dry down reminds me of shampoo or soap. I would still classify it in the tropical family, but much cleaner than most tropical scents. It doesn't reek of suntan lotion. Instead it's reminiscent a summer shampoo. If you don't fall in love with it at first sniff give it a few minutes. My only complaint is that I wish they kept the bottle consistent with the rest of the Fantasy line and kept the crystals. But I'm sure this one was a bit cheaper to make. Oh well, it's not important, what's important is this perfume smells great. Britney has done it again. I don't think there is a bad perfume in the Fantasy lineup.

kessyster

Still not sure about sillage but I can tell that got good staying power. Smells even after washed my hands!

UnearthlyApothecary

Ew yuck. There are some good Britney's and there are some bad Britney's and in my opinion, Maui Fantasy is her worst. Just a yucky sickly sweet blast of synthetic tropical fruit that at least fades very quickly. No coconut ,no musk, can't pick out any individual floral notes. I am surprised how many people seem to sincerely like this one. Ok I do kind of get the dryer sheet reference maybe like a tropical fruit Snuggle?

Kendelem1999

I was SO excited when I found this at Ross for 9.99 (1.7oz) Hadnt smelled before but based on reviews I thought this would be the perfect summer scent to add to my collection. Well, almost. When first sprayed I did get the tropical sweet coconut mix most others do but upon dry down I smell exactly, and I mean EXACTLY like a Downy dryer sheet. It wasnt just me either, I had my hubby and daughter sniff. None of us got coconut, or tropical fruit. So back to Ross it went and the search continues....

kristin126

This is a lovely tropical, feminine fragrance. I smell coconut, light florals and passionfruit. It really does conjure up a Hawaiian beach for me. It's sweet but not headache-inducing sweet. I'm not a huge fan of celebrity frags but Britney does have some good ones.

kessyster

The first spray I thought reminds me my ' Summer Dreams' by Hawaiian tropics. But the dry down feels more bitter ( shampooing kinda smell) not a bad thing in my opinion. Is fresh, sweet ( reminds me clean sheets). Is ok, I maybe will get another bottle. I love the cute box and bottle (especially the fact that this fragance got one of my favourite flowers, hibiscus . I can't talk about silage and longevity yet as I only bought though.

TsarinaM

I love this! I blind bought it because Britney, no other reason needed as I love her scents! I keep smelling my wrist trying to define this. I will do my best: the musk is like a cotton candy musk, but this is not like cotton candy perfume. I detect citrus mixed in, and honey. This is just lovely!!!!
So citrus, candy, musk, honey. Perfect!

God Bless!

Marimer

This is an initial musky conga cocktail that finally settles on warm flowery sunscreen, like a beach vacation, as it doesn't last too long either, but a nice scent for happy sunny days.

rihabi

I like it a lot. It has 3 or 4 notes, well combined/balanced, so you can't just point out only one prominent one. These notes are: grapefruit, coconut, hibiscus, tiare. It's firmly tropical, summery, exotic and light fragrance. Makes me imagine some shores, cocktails, enormous hats, bikini and scorching sun. For an EDT it's expectedly poorly lasting, but for the price, you can't question it.

lmwimsatt

this is the only fantasy I can't stand. I tried it at kohl's tg bc I blind buy all of her perfumes and have liked them all. tg I didnt buy this one

Nuitdenoel

This is a fun scent! While it is not a dupe of Bronze Goddess (like I was hoping) it is a cute, tropical, summery scent. Initial application was the very essence of a piña colada. Drydown is a beachy, warm, sunscreen-ish. Good deal for the price.

Madrona

Ah, yes. Unpretentious and dreamy. Tropical vacation in a bottle. Coconut, passionfruit, tiare. A warm breeze and sandy toes. Bubblegummy white flowers. Love.

Nataliemarie

I think if someone has not experienced a ton of perfumes & notes, they may think this is J Lo Glow. I see a tiny resemblance in the first 2 minutes. Then, I smell the fresh Laundry, & even the grape Hubba Bubba, sweet bubble gummy smell others have mentioned. Together it is everything to remind you of Hawaii, wrapped up in one. I like it. Personally Miami Glow is tooooo synthetic, & the reform is even WORSE & watered down. Not even worth $5. This is MUCH better! Natalie N on YT

Lucyana

I recived this today, IT was a blind buy. When i smeled this, instantly reminded me of something i've smeled before, but i could't tell what was... And after a while IT hit me!!! This smells like Ricci Ricci by Nina Ricci to me. I thought IT would Be coconuty... But no. Its sour, like the rhubarb in Ricci Ricci. Must Be the passionfruit. Its great for summer, i will use this a lot!

diddyscafe

I had one of the best vacations in Hawaii and I collect the Fantasy line, so naturally this flanker is a must have. I own Fantasy Rocker Femme, Midnight, Hidden, Anniversary, Circus and Intimate. Anyways, this Maui Fantasy although is an EDT, it's so potent that even its box got scented. First impression... It does capture the mood of Hawaii. I smell mostly plumeria and coconut, and I'm a huge coconut fan. Overall, a fun and young scent, a scent for beach holiday or if you want to be reminded of one.

MrsTefee

I was really excited about this one..thought it would be some yummy coconutty tropical goodness but its actually very underwhelming.. Something in the dry down just gets to me too, seems off like it shouldnt be there. Im quite disappointed in this one. Very meh...you are better off getting a tropical scented body spray from the drugstore and it would probably be even better than this!

vattenmelon

ive totally changed my mind on this perfume, it smells disgusting! radiance is her best perfume in my opinion

snoopyQ

Sweet fruity and coco-nutty. A little clean smelling as well.
In the beginning it smells very artificial but quickly turns into a sweet coconut-fruit scent.
Youthful and fun.


This reminds me of Gucci Premiere ( which I was not too keen on at first).
Both are actually really nice once they are seattled into the skin.

xoxcrista

This was a pleasant surprise in my local TJ Maxx. I got to spray some diligently and I will say it's a well made Fantasy.

The coconut in this is so milky and fresh. I can be quite discerning when it comes to coconut, I dislike cloying or 'too' synthetic coconut but here it is done quite well. I prefer this to Island Fantasy. I would recommend this to someone looking for a fun scent for their summer vacay.

loilovesperfume

This is the third perfume i bought this january of 2017 together with the naughty remix fantasy. I bought this 100ml for $30 usd. Its a blind buy and i wonder how it smells like. I love the box. Its different from the other perfume box. I unboxed it and when u take off the white box inside the outer box. U can see the hisbiscus cutting line. I like the blue color or the box also. Its so youngster! The bottle is pretty amazing. The cap is transparent, bottle is a frosted icy blue with a print of hisbiscus, with a clear liquid. The sprayer is gold with a cheap white ribbon. So i love the packaging n the bottle. The scents surprise me. Its a happy scents. Its a summery scents. It also have a resemblance to 1d our moment perfume. I can smell the coconut in this perfume and the passion fruit. With a musk and hint of vanilla. I love it. The sillage is good. But not sure about the longevity if how many hours it wil last on my skin. So kudoz to britney. I love love it.. Good for summertime.,

Dort0625

Here I am three days before Christmas buying gifts for myself when I'm out shopping for my kids lol I'm sure all my perfume-aholics can appreciate :) so while at Winners tonight I noticed they had done a pretty nice discount on several fragrances and this was one of them. It was only $17.00 for a 50 MLS bottle,Canadian dollars that is. I had wanted to try this since it came out and I hadn't found a tester of it anywhere. So I thought its less than twenty dollars why not blind buy it. I'm glad I did, I really like it. I have to admit, there isn't many of her perfumes I like. Honestly I think this is the first one. This almost reminds me of an Escada type scent. Its very summery, beachy type scent. I can smell the coconut, but not in an over powering type of way. I love this!

nvenus

I really like this, it lays between like/love. It's tropical, sweet and fresh and works very good on my skin. Also love the frosted, matte bottle :)

Jasmindee

Just bought this for £7 from Perfume-Click... I know it's the time of giving, but I couldn't resist such a bargain!

Packaging, as with all Britney perfumes, is lovely. This box is a bright blue adorned with pink flowers and white cut-outs. It would make a lovely gift!

The bottle is a pretty frosted blue with a white and pink flower on the front. I like the little glass lid too! My first impression was that it looks a bit cheap, but I've sort of grown a little fond of it now.

Opening spray was straight up J-Lo's Miami Glow. No difference what so ever. It's that sort of balmy, beachy perfume that makes you think you're on holiday. No complaints from me, but I would have liked something a little different.

Then the soft fruits come in. I have to admit, this smells good. Like a tropical cocktail. I close my eyes and take a deep breath and I can imagine paradise.

This is a summer perfume, no doubts about that.

Now, to keep it or give it to someone for Christmas... I haven't decided yet. I like it, but I don't love it.

lepalm

This is the perfume equivalent of a tropical fruity cocktail. While my prefered drink is top shelf and neat or on the rocks, every once in a while it's nice to put on a cute summer dress, meet up with a girlfriend at a patio bar, and order the frou frou fruity cocktail during happy hour. But just one! And I certainly can't load up on all this sugary sweetness every day. However, unlike the happy hour priced fruity cocktail, Maui Fantasy is strong. Again, maybe it's because I'm sensitive to sweets, but I can't wash this stuff off!

angelscry85

I actually liked this. It smells like a very soft Joop! Homme to me. I bought a bottle after smelling it.

eezavel

WHT?? I wear and have tried every Britney perfume out but this has to be the WORST....WTH Happened??

It smells like avon bath beads or something comparing to too that. I don't smell ANY pineapple or 'fuity'?? My sniffer must be way off on this one!

I wasted $30 - My fault - teaches me to SMELL before buying once again:(

Still love ya Britney but YUK on this one!

Lucky7z

When this came out I tested this multiple times and I cannot get past how this smells like laundry detergent/fabric softener sheets!!!

The longevity and sillage are both moderate so that's a plus I guess.

*I never got a bottle of this I was just disappointed that it wasn't more of a tropical fruity scent with a name like Maui Fantasy.

I see other reviews mentioning how this smells like Jlo's Miami Glow and I don't smell that at all in this perfume.

The Blue Eyed Gay Prince.

Hate this!
i love the original fantasy and i typically really like britney's perfumes.
but i went in the store today to get viva la juicy gold and came across this.
so i decided to smell it.....

the FIRST thing i said to myself was.....
"ugh!, this is j-lo's miami glow!" - and it is!
to me this is 100% EXACTLY the same as miami glow.
and miami glow is one of my MOST HATED perfumes in the world.

anyways i did not like this at all....
its too citrusy and the grapefruit is too strong for me.

btw: instead i tried the new "private show" by britney and it was Stunning.

perrfumefreak

I love this. It smells nothing like anything else in the "Fantasy " family and I love it even more because of it. That's not yo say I don't like some of the Fantasy flankers....in fact "Rocker Femme fatale " is my favorite out of the fantasy family. Maui is missing the cupcake sugar smell that's a part of all the other Fantasy scents. And that's what I love about it. Its tropical fruit, it's tropical flowers it has a gorgeous drydown where coconut makes a breif appearance, the overall composition is beautiful. It exceeded my expectations for a Fantasy flanker. Britney should make more scents like these and less of the ones that smell like frosting with genet ( intimate edition, collecting dust in my closet. Congrats with Maui Fantasy, on a job very well done

adamspira

Yet another gorgeous scent by Britney Spears! I feel like this particular Fantasy is one of her most natural scents, like Curious and believe. It has a very fruity smell along with a tiny bit of florals. Very tropical, recommended for the summer or any warmer days during the year. Definitely another departure from Britney's typical Fantasy flankers, doesn't have that extreme vanilla musky smell that most of the Fantasies do, which also leads to the lasting power. I sprayed the tester on my hand and it unfortunately only lasted an hour or so. I am still going to pick up a bottle because its just too gorgeous, and that being a limited edition perfume I ain't missing this perfect opportunity to by myself one with summer just around the corner!

I rate this perfume a 7/10. I am still yet to trial this perfume out a little more, so I will possibly make a second impression of this in the coming months. I will admit, not a huge fan of the packaging, its vibrant which is what I love however I wish she had maybe put in some white gems around the bottle like she does with her traditional Fantasy perfumes. The scent is definitely an easy wear as well as an easy buy. Recommend this to anyone who loves summer vibes, fruity scents and tropical vibes.

lizzyshreds

I see that people are voting that this is similar to Miami Glow, I think Maui Fantasy is better because of the way the notes are mixed together. I don't think Maui Fantasy is 100% like Miami Glow there are differences. maybe 75% similar.

mystica

I was eagerly waiting for this perfume, but it hit me with its overly artificial nature. Namely it has a strong pineapple note, and overall it smells just like car freshener, or those little (tropical scented) car perfumes you know of. They smell good, but I guess not on skin. Every single Fantasy by Britney are artificial compositions, true that, but this one felt way too much for me.

chels

really love this scent, i am torn between this and fancy by Jessica Simpson as my signature scent and it driving my crazy lol, both are very different, maui fantasy is such a fresh, clean and tropical smell, i get mostly a pineapple note at first with a little floral and when dry down i get hair conditioner smell which i love feels like you have stepped of of the shower feeling clean and fresh

Sammi_co

I had to buy this just because I have a soft spot for Britney and always buy her fragrances, so it needed to be added to the collection. Having said that some of my favourite perfumes are hers, so I am usually quite partial to them. This however is leaving me a little underwhelmed. It's nice enough, it's sweet, it's fruity. Maybe I'm just over the fruity floral thing. On me I don't get any vanilla and can't really make out too much in the way of the floral. I know theres no grape listed but on my skin. (Not on a tester card) it smells exactly like grape hubba bubba. Which isn't a bad smell but not really want a thirty something yr old woman wants to smell like. I have tried and will be buying her new pillar fragrance though. That's a gorgeous one.

Awater01

I got a strong association to hawaiian breeze air freshner when I first spayed this, but it's mellowed now and I keep sniffing the spot I sprayed thinking maybe I could like wearing this in summer. I'm completely anosmic to coconut so it's all fruity floral to me, but it's a nice combination of tropical fruits and flowers, sweet and fresh. It gives me the feeling of drinking fruit cocktails by a swimming pool with a tropical garden nearby.

tahia_loky

Its the same of the jlo perfume !!!

dglightblue

Beautiful opening, nice middle, OK dry down.
Not sure of price, it's an EDT though so not likely I would buy as they don't have the longevity I wish.
This is like a creamy fruity, not like some of her others that I've tried. I've tried the very sweet round pink one
The round med blue
The angular one with light green juice
The curious one
Maui isn't like these, Maui doesnt smell nasty like some celeb frags
It lasted a couple hours thereabouts

JetsBabe

One of Britney's best.
Extremely similar to Miami glow but a sweet Miami glow.

Great for summer!

TrishGSD86

This is such a beautiful scent. I'm so glad I got it! I really smell the tiare flower in this. I'm so impressed with the longevity of this, especially being and EDT. I put it on after my shower and can still smell it wafting around me as I write this over 10 hours later. I can see myself using this a lot on hot days. Wish I would have purchased it earlier in the summer!

raiza1990

This is a tropical version of Fantasy. It has that unmistakable sweetness from the original plus the strong fruitiness. It is uplifiting and comforting at the same time. Unfortunately, it does not lasts very long, but it is a good summer fragrance, specially if you like the original one and want your summer fume to be gourmand too.

nvenus

There's definately a coconut scent but it's not rich and creamy, it's more light and fresh. Overall a fruity scent with coconut and hints of some floral notes.
It's very nice but not her best.

EsmeCrowfoot

Blimey! This is a compliment getter! I've had 4 people say "You smell nice, what's that?" even a security guard! I didn't slather myself in it either! It's actually just really nice. A sort of clean sheets, coconut and pineapple, sun-tan lotion vibe. Also, it was cheap! (always a bonus) I got it for £15.50 for 100ml in The Perfume Shop. Personally I would've preferred a smaller size, so that I could carry it in my handbag without breaking my shoulder, but, such is life. I will sacrifice my posture to be able to have top-up spritzes throughout the day!

LeiahLucero

This is a gorgeous scent. However, it was extremely hard to find in the states. I had to order from the UK. Very sexy summer scent.

perrfumefreak

I love Miami Glow. I wear that one almost everyday. If they are so similar can gladly wait till Maui fantasy is more available. And describing Miami glow as " heavy" is definitely not how id describe it but I do love it, so maybe another bottle of that until Maui Fantasy comes around my way or my affordability. I just can't wait for that Tiare Flower though!Sounds wonderful!

vattenmelon

suuuper delicous!! i love it. very tropical

J.Scott110

I saw a review on here about the drydown smelling like Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna. Agreed, but only the first spray of Reb'l Fleur. When Reb'l Fleur dries down, the two dont smell alike. Maui Fantasy is a more lighter version of it once its dried.

Spencemonster

As noted. Complete copy of Jennifer Lopez's "Miami Glow" I mean. Exactly the same scent. Not one single linear note different. The exact same scent. The musk. The suntan lotion. Ocean beach peaches orange warm coffee scent it's all there. I will say. Miami Glow almost wears too heavy to the point of a headache. I think due in part of the "musk". But the Maui Fantasy is less musk heavy and a tad bit more fruity/sunny. I want it to complete the Fantasy collection.

Also. I will not buy till I can find a 3.4OZ bottle. 1-1.7 & 2 OZ bottles. Waste. Plus to complete my collection gotta have all the bottles the same 3.4OZ size. Just have yet to find this fragrance in a full large bottle.

ana hen

I like it very much.it smell clean , sweet,remind me fresh laundry :))).I know it could sound funny but it smell of fresh cotton on the wind with very good detergent :).
Tiare,hibiscus,coconut oil -last forever on closes.
Great for hot summer.

perrfumefreak

I still can't find this anywhere..i live in MA, kohls here doesn't care it, its not on the kohls website, its not on any of the perfume online retailers and the one eBay listing is so overpriced its not worth it. Maybe when it gets older or when her new scent comes out, this one may be more available.

Meere

Britney just announced her new fragrance Private Show.

It's brand new scent. Not Fantasy, thank God.

pommegom

This one only works when the weather is very hot. Under 30 degrees it's a really annoying fragrance, it's soapy, sharp and too flowery which I don't like. But when the weather is too hot, it turns to be a nice tropical scent. Starts with fresh passionfruit and grapefruit then it dries down to a warm coconutty cocktail (not pina colada).
I think it's not like Miami Glow. Miami Glow is more synthetic, too strong, has a masculine note and gives me a headache. Britney's perfume is more feminine and light, not that agressive.
I just read the reviews, it's really like to have a sandy/sea water note in the drydown. (Sorry for my English)

pearlbelle

I went into my local perfume store expecting to buy a different perfume to this one, but I couldn't resist a quick spray of a tester of it on my wrist. It's fair to say it went straight into my cart! The box is lovely, it has the flowers from the bottle on the box but are cut out so you can feel the white box that holds Maui Fantasy.
The smell is pure beach, passionfruit and coconut milk are what I've gotten so far out of this fragrance, and I agree with what others are saying on here, as there's a hint of saltiness too.
Beautiful scent for the summer and perfect for the beach and holidays!

KDW17

Well, it just goes to show that there is no telling what one's body chemistry will do to a perfume. I bought a bottle of this for an excellent price, and find that it is worth every penny - this stuff is beautiful (in a happy, rather than truly classic) way, and it lasts longer than any perfume I have ever worn (and I've worn a lot).

To me, this smells like a sweet spicy fruity concoction in which tiare flower and coconut are most noticeable. It instantly makes me think of summer sun, though perhaps not beaches so much (I've not been on one in ages!). Best of all, it is a really happy scent. And it lasts - around 7 hours, when many more expensive, allegedly long-lasting scents, have disappeared within 3 hours tops. I can certainly smell it on myself, too, though I don't know how obvious it is to others. In a room full of academics today, no one said anything; but no one looked at me funny, either.

Bottom line: if you like Britney perfumes this is worth a try, but test in a shop first if you can. If your skin generally eats up most scents, try this one, you might find there's a big difference, as I did. Enjoy!

krissii

I love Britney's fragrances and own most of them, so when I found out about Maui Fantasy it was a must have. It's a beautiful bottle but the fragrance for me is a let down. On initial spray, I get a kind of pineapple bubble gum scent with a definite chemical note, followed by a soft floral. I'd love to tell you what came next, but that's where the issue lies - approximately 5 minutes later, it's completely undetectable. I have tried spraying more, 4 sprays to the neck and 3 to each wrist, plus spraying it on my clothes, but nothing works. Fact is, it has absolutely zero staying power, nothing, nada. I can honestly say Blue Glow by J Lo has terrible staying power and I thought nothing could be worse, but sadly, this really is. For those brief few minutes where I can smell it, it has such potential and I could adore where it is going, but then POOF! Gone. I am SO disappointed by this one, It just makes me incredibly sad :(

freddinos

Another perfume that I enthusiastically added to my wish list and immediatelly removed, feeling deflated, after testing it.
All the notes in Maui Fantasy I love, plus beachy scents are really lovely.
But I must have been anosmic to its ingredients, as Maui Fantasy was a very faint fruity coconut on me. Really really subtle and almost vanished in under two hours.
Instantly upon spraying it created a mental image of smelling my wet hair after having washed them with tropical shampoo. It was kind of cute but not enough for me to buy it I suppose.
I still love many other Fantasy flankers though!

Twinkleberry

This smells sooo good to me... an eye opening scent...but I agree that in the dry down it smells exactly like Miami glow. It's not a bad thing but I expected something else. But still a very nice fragrance.

sugahuni

A beautiful summer fragrance

kristamb

I like this light summer scent for being so fresh and simple! It does not remind me of JLo's Miami Glow fragrance, but it does remind me of Stoked by Bethany Hamilton....to me, it is beachy in a pineapple & fruit sort of way. Longevity is very good, I can smell it all day!

valyapiz

It's quite sweet, almost bubble-gummy, reminds me of Paris Hilton Heiress. Got 100 mill, happily use it every day, not strong safe every day fragrance. Quite cute. Does not last as long as Heiress lasts. A lot weaker.

JSRbeatles

To me, this smells more like clean laundry than tropical fruit. This is a fragrance I'll use when I want to smell like I just stepped out of the shower, fresh and clean.

PerfumeKing14

coconut yes but it's not just about that note. the passionfruit is a strong note in this as well. it's sweet like her other fragrances but this does stand out for me. i get the comparisons to jlo & nicki & even though they smell similar for me i can tell them apart. lovely scent again though. can't get it to last on me unfortunately. an hour tops & it's gone

ScarlettX

A summery, youthful coconut scent! I can sense some floral notes, coconut, grapefruit and passionfruit. It's very sweet. This one is just as good as other perfumes from this line.
This Fantasy line is a mystery to me. I haven't bought any of it's perfumes yet, but low price and good scents make it interesting.
This one is a nice tropical lightly floral fruit coctail. I have no bad words for it.
A little soapy drydown, it seems to me.

NataliaChudo

A sweet coconut number with a decent lasting power. It is flowery-fruity, very summery and very girly. Not in a bad way girly as in "suitable only for girls under 10",but youthful and cheerful fragrance. I got mine because I needed a no-brainer with a sillage and possibly with leading coconut or tiare notes. Got all of it in one shot. Probably best for hot summer day/night, will have to add on some more of it during the day. This is a good one from a celebrity fragrance army, definitely.

sharyssa

sampled at kohls I didn't even know there were more fantasy spin offs I no longer keep up with celebrity fragrances but this one does indeed smell good. It is very fruity tropical and I want it!!!!!

kristynic0le

For an EDT the staying power is impressive. The dry down reminds me a bit of Rihanna's Reb'l Fleur. I could see this becoming my go to casual summer scent.

Spears

È un profumo decisamente estivo: fresco, leggermente fruttato e floreale, con una punta di vaniglia alla fine per addolcire il tutto. Molto buono e delicato lo consiglio a tutti!

HeavyBeatsUK

Reminded me of tropical scented clothes washing powder, which I thought was neither a good thing or a bad thing - just a thing. It has an effervescent quality to it which is lovely. It does also remind me of Jennifer Lopez Miami Glo but since Miami Glo has been significantly watered down, Maui Fantasty is definitely worth considering.

Azula

This is IDENTICAL to Miami Glow on paper, so I didn't feel inclined to test it on my skin.

Crystals On My Converse

If you already have Miami Glow by Jennifer Lopez you can give this one a miss! Very similar!

DeLinda

Stumbled across a tester of this today. A sexy, tropical scent - part fruit, part flowers. Nice & sweet. I am surprised at the longevity, sprayed it a couple of hours ago & I don't think its faded at all which is pleasing because I find Britney's perfumes to be pretty weak, especially an EDT but this has developed into creamy fruit punch loveliness I'm quite enjoying. Worth checking out.

I bought this in Superdrug UK this week. I love it! There is a smell of passion fruit and coconut and later on the vanilla comes in. It's not an overpowering fragrance. This along with intimate fantasy have been very light and musky. I sense a more mature fragrance than the circus fantasy days.

Very disappointing. It really is fantasy nice or naughty remix with a huge heap of coconut thrown in. 0/10 for effort, like it was ring In idea. If you like the above sounding mix you might like it but it's the lack of effort and the blandness that make it incredibly disappointing. Sorry

This has been a pleasant surprise! It's like a vaguely tropical-fruit/flower soap. The musk is pretty intensive on me, which I think is what's reading as soapy. The fruity passionfruit note is pretty noticeable, as well as the creamy vanilla-coconut. The orange blossom is also fairly prominent to my nose. This is really inoffensive, and a more subtle way to do tropical than what you typically encounter branded as such. This would be a fun fragrance to take on vacation and associate the memories with! It may not be a new favorite, but I'll be keeping my eye on this one...

This is available on Kohls.com now for anybody looking to get a bottle of it.

It pains me to leave a negative review for this because I think britney was SO close to something cool. Sweet tarts are really a good comparison to this perfume. It's dry, chalky, cool, sweet, and sour. There is nothing particular floral that sticks out in my nose individually, just a soft blend with a tangy pineappley, guava, coconut.
What gets me is that there is some kind of gross calone note or something in here. There's something synthetic I can't shake that ruins the experience to me. Maybe it was to make the fragrance fresher or more summery? Either way I just can't. Bummed.

When is this perfume going to be available in Canada?

It's not listed in the notes but I got full on pineapple when I first sprayed this. Fortunately it soon dried down into a mildly fruity fragrance. No gourmand notes to speak of, but somehow it still had the creaminess I associate with the line. Mild and inoffensive but ultimately very generic.

All parties involved need to move on to something else.

I sampled this at Kohl's and it's quite nice. Tropical, of course, and I think it really does evoke visions of Maui.

It's a bit of a fruity blast at first, kinda like a tropical drink. Then as it dries, it becomes a little warmer, slightly sweet and musky. I could see myself sitting on the beach rocking this frag with a big ole margarita in my hand. :D

Oh, and the bottle is very pretty in person.

I think I was the first to buy from jlw1975402. I also paid $50, I also did a review of this perfume on Youtube. There is no need for this nonsense bashing someone over the price on ebay. It's really up to the person who wants the perfume if they are going to pay the price the seller wants for it or not. I bought my bottle on January 10th, and received it on January 12th.

I can't wait to get this, but I still wish that Britney would move on and do something else. We already have so many Fantasy flankers.

I would love to get flanker of Believe. That would be interesting. Or brand new line. Well, maybe in the future.

I don't know how I feel about that bottle. I kinda like it, but I love those other Fantasy bottles more. I like the crystals and I'm disappointed that they didn't put crystals on this bottle. But this is something new. :)

But Britney looks great in that picture. :)

I got mine today at Kohl's 1.7oz for 37.50 It smells soft & like I would imagine Hawaii to smell like though I have never been. It is it's own fragrance & not like any of the other fantasies. It's more soft sweet floral. It has decent projection for an EDT. I recommend it. I think the bottle is pretty too.

I purchased 2 bottles of this today. I listed the other one on ebay. Don't get me wrong I do like the smell of the perfume it is ok. Tropical-flowery like but it smells kind of child-like to me. It opens really nice ...tropical ...coconut...but when it dries down it smells like one of those tropical air car fresheners you put in your car to smell good. The bottle is pretty. Frosted blue glass with a flower on it. I like it because it is different from her other fantasy perfumes. I guess I was just hoping for more from this perfume when I saw the advertisement. I purchased it at Kohls. I will say this it does last a good while on me ...most of the day actually. I like it but don't love it.
