What does Sideshow (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the sample is small, so treat those ratings cautiously. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure time. Voters split almost evenly between feminine and masculine.

Chewing gum opens it; in the heart, cotton candy and candied apple give it a sweet, synthetic funfair feel. In the base, leather, hyraceum and tolu balm pull that sweetness towards something smoky and animal, with a spicy warmth underneath.
