Wishfully thinking of Island Fantasy

Mysterious Beach by Mirage BrandsMirage BrandsMysterious Beach3.01 rating

This dupe is as close as I'll get to Island Fantasy without spending 200 bucks on eBay 😭 I do plan on buying it to add to my Britney collection but it'll probably be one of the last ones because of the rarity.

If you can find this dupe at your local Five Below/Dollar Tree though, scoop it up! The bottle is adorable. I have the 50 ml and it really does smell like the Island Fantasy (body mist at least). I get a bright burst of watermelon and some tropical "coconutty" notes on the opening. It fades into a much more muted, musky but still tropical/fruity and mildly floral feel.

      Yes, it's by a brand that does dupes or inspired fragrances for discount stores haha. I got it because it looked like island Fantasy and it was 5 dollars. Longevity is mid at best but it does smell nice. The OG was discontinued so this is all I got 😅
