What does Scent Stories Vol.1/Ch.07 - Magic Circus smell like?

It opens with pink pepper and bergamot adding a spicy brightness over pineapple and cotton candy. In the heart, cistus, labdanum, geranium and nuts take over, and the scent turns resinous with a hint of smoke. The base of wood splint, caramel and patchouli dries down fruity, gourmand and woody, sweet but kept in balance.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings, leisure time and nights out. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so it wears comfortably on either.
