What does Circus Fantasy smell like?

It opens with apricot blossom and raspberry, a fresh, citrusy fruitiness. Peony, water lily and orchid then bring a soft, lightly aquatic floral heart. In the base, musk, vanilla and sweets turn it gourmand, so the overall impression is fresh yet sugary, with a glossy, synthetic edge.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. It reads mainly feminine, though many also call it modern. Lattafa Mayar and Davidoff Cool Water Woman have a close profile.
