I recently smelled a perfume on someone, that I quite liked. I asked her what it was and she said it was Britney Spears ?. I could not hear the name of it, but it sounded like it had the word night in it, or a word that sounded like that. It was slightly spicey.
Anybody got a clue, please.
Many thanks

There's a few BS perfumes, Julia. Curious, Fantasy, In Control. Believe.

My 15 year old daughter wears a Britney perfume called "Curious".... not the same one obviously but I like it, light and floral, great for day time.

Here's some info.

Britney Spears first joined forces with the Elizabeth Arden firm for her debut fragrance, Curious. A youthful arrangement, with sweet Louisiana magnolia, a tribute to the Britney's native state.

Britney then released Fantasy. It was introduced by the design house of Giorgio Armani. It is a refined flowery fragrance with a blend of fruits, jasmine, and heliotrope with low notes of cedar vanilla and musk.

Next came In Control, a sexy mixture of loquat fruit, midnight orchid, crème brûlée, black vanilla bean, tonka crystals, and sandalwood.

Britney recently teamed up again with Elizabeth Arden to create Believe, her newest fragrance. It is a delicate and sensual blend of warm, seductive amber and exotic florals.

Hello Julia..

It is called midnight fantasy

Thanks all, I will have to take myself off to the pe4rfume counters, and do abit of sniffing. I am sure she said something with the word, night, or similar.
Again, many thanks

I think so my g/daughter as asked for it ..your welcome ..

I realise that this may be a young and youthful perfume,especially for someone of my age. But, I do not wear perfume all the time, and I now find that Chanel 5, is too heavy for me, hence the need for a change.
Again, many thanks to you all for your help.
Will send the OH out as soon as, to spend his shekels. Well, he can't take them with him, no matter how hard he tries.
Thanks alot to you very helpful people, I knew I could count on you.

I think a lot of the perfumes aimed at the young are also suitable for we of a more mature age Julia, we don't always want heavy perfume, especially during the day.

Again, thanks everyone for your replies.
Ann in Glos, I totally agree with you, and as I do not go out at night, and therefore do not get dressed up and put on the 'full whack', it is nice to have a spray before going to bed, so it mingles on the bed covers.
Thanks again to all

I am glad you found the perfume you need Julia........what you said about Chanel 5 not suiting you anymore rang a bell with me.......I was wondering if the sense of smell changed as you got older, like sometimes a change of taste does - some people preferring dry wines to sweet ones when young ......

On honeymoon in Jersey I bought some Je Riviens (OH told me it means I will return)......and when we went back a couple of years ago I bought some more......well, it smelled so strong on me, and not at all like the lighter fragrance I remember...... I wonder if you and others have the same experience....

Britney who ?

I managed to get a bottle of Midnight Fantasy in Boots today, on a half price promotion. Only paid £11.
Thanks for all you help

oh and u got a bargain to well doen hun xxxx

Well done Julia

Moonchild I actually wonder if they mess around with the original perfume sometimes so it actually is stronger, maybe to suit present day tastes (or smells Lol!).

Do you sometimes find as well, when you try a perfume in a shop, it lasts for ages, when you buy the equivalent to what the bottle says you have tried, it doesn't last half as long?
