Baby, Spray Me One More Time

You just can't get of Britney Spears, can you? She's like a bad penny. Her face keeps turning up in the media; her voice on talk shows, videos and radio. She's even had cameos in movies such as Austin Powers: Goldmember. And now even your nose can't get away from her - there are three Britney Spears perfumes floating around for you to run screaming into the night away from.

I'm definitely not in the Britney Spears fan club, but I have to admit, the girl has some good smelling perfumes, and last time I checked, it didn't matter if you liked her or not. You can still buy her perfumes, that is, if you like them. You might want to run on in your local department store and try them all out.

Britney Spears released four different perfumes, with the first hitting stores in late 2004. It was called Curious, and it was the number one fragrance in 2004 and 2005. Next came Fantasy, and then In Control, followed recently by Fantasy Midnight in late December of 2006. All of her perfumes have done quite well, though Midnight has reportedly not performed as well as expected. They can be purchased at local department stores or online (best price).

Elizabeth Arden is the company that makes all of Britney Spears perfumes. She has given permission for her name to be used (for quite a bit of money probably), and in that area, she is definitely not alone. Paris Hilton, Elizabeth Taylor, Prince, Jennifer Lopez, and more have all given permission for their names to be used.

Britney Spears first perfume was called Curious, and as mentioned, it won best fragrance of 2004 and best women's fragrance of 2005. Britney was reportedly paid 12 million dollars to put her name on the bottle, a bottle which went on to earn over 100 million dollars for Elizabeth Arden and company. It came in your choice of blue or pink and is described by wearers as a light floral scent.

The second perfume to be introduced was Fantasy, and Elizabeth Arden went all out on the marketing campaign. Unfortunately, wearers of the new perfume weren't impressed and many said that marketing the scent of strawberry shortcakes turned out to be more of a fantasy than the perfume did. Also noticed - the bottle looks strangely like the Love Potion Number 9 bottle.

Next on the Britney Spears perfume list was In Control. Touted as a mix between Curious and Fantasy, it was instead described as a mix of the worst parts of both perfumes. The smell was praised by nearly everyone who smelled it, but over and over complaints came in about the staying power. Most wearers stated that it only lasted about an hour, then it faded away.

The latest Britney Spears perfume, Midnight, has been plagued with troubles, though different from the last perfume. This time the complaint wasn't that it was too weak, instead, it was too strong! Many wearers described it as an intoxicating, or even sickening, effect after wearing it for an hour or two. The scent has been compared to grape bubblegum or grape kool-aid.

As for price, look to pay about $50 to $70 dollars in your local department store. If you shop wisely, expect to pay about $30 to $50 dollars. Both of these prices are assuming you want a 3.3 oz bottle, anything less or more will change the price. Overall, I would have to say this is a contest too close to call; some people love it and some people hate it. My advice? Try it out at any department store, then head back home to buy it online.
