Fantasia's Mermaid Perfume Falls Short for This Scent Enthusiast

summarizeEditor's Summary

I've got to say, Fantasia's Mermaid perfume is a pretty package with a disappointing scent. The citrusy top notes are nice, but they fade fast, leaving a generic, floral fragrance that's just not memorable. For a scent enthusiast like me, it's a total letdown. The value for money isn't great either, considering the price – 2276 rubles is a bit steep for a perfume that doesn't stand out. Overall, it's a decent choice for everyday wear, but it's not a game-changer and doesn't stand out from other perfumes.

I've got to say, Fantasia's perfumes are all about the packaging – those fancy bottles are hard to ignore. But when it comes to the scents themselves, I often find them a bit too simple. That's exactly what I got with Fantasia Mermaid.
Fantasia Mermaid Perfume Review
Fantasia Mermaid kicks off with a bright, citrusy burst of fresh oranges and sweet mandarins, accompanied by warm notes of cardamom and pepper. At its heart, a romantic rose and floral notes create a playful intrigue. A juicy lychee adds a unique, fresh fruitiness that perfectly complements the smooth musky base of vanilla, honey, tonka beans, and light woods.

WoodVanillaHoneyValue for Money:
I paid 2276 rubles for it at Letysh, which I think is a bit steep for a perfume that's not particularly unique or long-lasting.
Build Quality:
The packaging is seriously impressive. All of Fantasia's packaging is worth talking about, and this perfume is no exception. The box itself is standard, but the inside is a work of art – a beautifully designed mermaid installation. I also appreciate the extra instructions on how to use it – it's thoughtful and sweet.
I've got a smaller version, but it's not something I'd carry around due to the packaging. It's cute and might look great on a vanity, though.
The 30ml bottle is a nice size. We have 5ml, 30ml, 50ml, and 75ml options available, which is great for those who want to try out different sizes.
Country of Origin:
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information on the country of origin for this perfume.
The Scent:
I was torn between this and a more citrusy one with a fairy. I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I ended up with the mermaid. And, honestly, I wish I had the fairy instead – I'd use it more often.
The scent opens up pretty powdery and sweet on me. It's still a light, citrusy scent, but there are plenty of warm notes that I wasn't expecting. I was hoping for something fresher and more ocean-like, but this is more of a spring/autumn scent – nice for everyday wear, but a bit too simple for my taste.
The sillage is almost nonexistent, and it lasts for about 5 hours – it needs to be reapplied throughout the day. It's a bit of a young scent, so I'm thinking of passing it down to my daughter.
Responsibility:
No, the brand isn't recognized for being responsible, which is a shame.
My Verdict:
Overall, the scent is nice, but I expect more from a brand like Fantasia. They're known for their simple, accessible scents, but this one's just too straightforward for my taste. I might have preferred something else while it was still available.
