I went through quite a few of my perfumes from my personal collection and I have compiled this list of my favorite sweet & fruity scents. Sweet is a direction I lean towards heavily when it comes to fragrances, and I always love wearing 'Fantasy' (and its flanker fragrances!) and 'Pink Friday'.
1. Fantasy, Britney Spears (2005)
Fantasy is THE 2000s fragrance, and it will make heads turn with its sweet, candylike scent. It is a classic and one of my go-to fragrances. The scent is very bright and sweet, and it is exactly what you would want in a sweet fragrance.
It isn't overpowered with floral notes like some perfumes can be, and it is the perfect mix of sweet, fruity and sugary notes.

Kiwi
Red Litchi
Quince

2. Pink Friday, Nicki Minaj (2012)
Pink Friday is a fragrance I wanted for the longest time, and it did not disappoint. I currently own the body mist and it is one of my personal favorites out of my entire collection. The notes blend wonderfully and it is a very strong competitor for 'Fantasy'.
Wonderful sweet & fruity notes, and it really highlights the persona put on by Nicki Minaj when the fragrance was launched. Perfectly fitting for her image and one of the best sweet fragrances you can get. It isn't overpowered by any florals, it's just straight sweet.
Base Notes
Carambola (Star Fruit)
Blackberry
Italian Mandarin

3. Midnight Fantasy, Britney Spears (2006)
Midnight Fantasy is a sweet fragrance that smells more like nightlife than the original fragrance. It leans more towards fruit for its notes - whereas the original fragrance uses more dessert-orientated notes.
This is the perfect fragrance for anyone looking for a sweet and sensual scent, and it is perfect for a night out on the town. It is more of an evening/nighttime fragrance, and I think that it makes a good event fragrance for things like concerts, outings, and dinners.
Top Notes
Plum
Sour Cherry
Raspberry

4. Minajesty, Nicki Minaj (2013)
Another Nicki Minaj scent that gets very high praise from me. I love the scent of this - it's different enough from 'Pink Friday' to stand out while still mixing and matching various sweet & fruity notes. Very playful and fun - just like Minaj herself.
Top Notes
Red Berries
Lemon
Peach

5. Mod Blush, Ariana Grande (2022)
A more gentle sweet scent, Mod Blush is the perfect mix of fruity, sweet, and vanilla notes. The fragrance is lighter than the others on this list, making it a great morning fragrance - it's more of a casual or formal outing fragrance rather than a "girls night out" kind of scent.
It is different enough from Grande's other scents to stand out from the rest, and it is more suitable for mature individuals compared to some of her other scents.
Top Notes
Raspberry
Passionfruit
Pink Pepper
Bergamot
Middle Notes
Base Notes
6. God Is A Woman, Ariana Grande (2021)
God Is A Woman is a more fruity scent, and it is different from Grande's other fragrances (I find that a few of them smell very similar). It is another lighter sweet scent that is well-suited for more formal gatherings if you are looking for something sweet but not overly playful.
Top Notes
Pear
Ambrette (Musk Mallow)
Middle Notes
Base Notes
7. Hidden Fantasy, Britney Spears
Hidden Fantasy is a more citrusy-sweet scent, but it isn't the "fresh" citrus scent that would make it unsuitable for this list. It's a lot different from the original fragrance, and it is something new and exciting.
It is another one of my personal favorites, and it is a very sweet and irresistible scent.
Top Notes
Orange
Tangerine
Lemon Verbena
Neroli

Honorable mentions:
1. Thank U, Next, Ariana Grande (2019)
I didn't want to have too many of Ariana's scents on my list (despite the fact I own a whole set of dabber perfumes of hers, which are all sweet scents). This one isn't quite as fruity/candy sweet as the other fragrances by her on my list.
2. I Love... Strawberries & Cream
This is one of the BEST sweet scents out there, but I feel as if I can not consider it an actual perfume since it is a body mist. This scent is also sold as bath products (shower gel, bubble bath), and I Love... is more of a bathing brand than a fragrance company.
3. I Love... Raspberry & Blackberry
Another absolutely delicious sweet & fruity scent. Once again not included in my main list because I can not consider it an actual perfume - since I Love... is more of a bath brand than a fragrance company.
4. Circus Fantasy, Britney Spears
A little too citrusy and cinnamon-y to make the list. 'Hidden Fantasy' is on this list, but it is more sweet than Circus is.
