L'eau de Parfum

I really like this but I go almost completely nose blind to it within 15 minutes Edit: somehow eventually I stopped going nose blind to it so quickly. It does fade pretty fast for the price. That being said I’m going to have to buy a full bottle. I’ve really grown to love this and have used more than half of the travel spray in a month. It surprisingly works in hot weather. Edit 2: I’ve been on such a journey with this fragrance. I caved and bought a full size bottle because my travel spray is almost gone and I fear that I quite literally cannot carry on in life without it. I’ve completely fallen in love with this fragrance. I don’t know what it is but to me this just smells like magic. I don’t know how else to explain it. It smells magical and like fantasy. It smells like trips to the big yearly fall festival in my hometown when I was a child. I will be gifting the travel size spray to a few family members that enjoy gourmands this Christmas. I normally gravitate to more powdery fragrances but this one is just a touch powdery. It’s so comforting, well blended, and beautiful. I don’t normally wear gourmands in hot weather but this one works in the heat on me. It would probably be my new signature scent if it wasn’t so pricey. I just wish it lasted longer. I get about 4-5 hours out of it at most. It lasts much longer on fabrics than skin though. The bottle is also beyond gorgeous. I’ve never been to Cirque Du Soleil, or even seen any kind of circus for that matter. There’s just something about this scent that has me completely captivated. Going in I didn’t expect to even like it, I normally don’t enjoy a popcorn note. In this I absolutely adore the buttery popcorn note, it’s so perfect. I could go on all day.

I definitely have a different opinion on this. Cirque du Soleil L'eau de Parfum smells milder than I thought and well blended. I thought it would be nauseating in its attempt to replicate the smell of circus snacks, but it is very balanced. I do get a nicely fused caramel-dipped apple. Like a macintosh apple that's not tart. There's this perfect amount of caramel that gives me more dulce de leche than a popcorn caramel and definitely not a burnt caramel on my skin, at least before the juice matures more. Actually the apples may be dipped in a sort of buttermilk caramel while its juiciness freshens this gourmand. Imagine caramel setting and thickening on the apple as you hold it in the air. A very well made gourmand and the vanilla and sandalwood in the base smooths everything out I think. If you don't like popcorn notes, there's nothing to fear in this imo. Also if you're not into the compared Nobile 1942 La Danza delle Libellule, which also smells good to me, that one gives more sweet apple juice-scented candle while this is more of a natural apple dipped in buttermilk caramel although it becomes a little synthetic in the dry-down. Cirque du Soleil performs just as good though. I can smell it around me without having to bring my arm up to sniff. It lasts some decent hours too.

I love this scent! It's mouth-watering, sweet, caramel candylike, and I find the the sandalwood, amber and vanilla notes come though delicately but firmly on my skin, as well as the barest hint of iris, all of which seems to cut through the sweetness and ground it. I don't feel it is "teenage" or reading too young on me, but I don't use scented detergents, dryer sheets, lotions with scent, soaps, or shampoos that are overly fragrant, so I'm not stacking scents. I find I seem to get hugged a lot when I wear this fragrance :) I do occasionally get a whiff of the buttered popcorn, which I'm a little 'eh' about, but it seems to subside fast. I bought the .34oz travel size on Luckyscent, after buying a couple of little samples from them and using them up completely. If I still love this at the end of the travel size, then I will definitely purchase the bottle. If you find the scent a little intense when sprayed on the skin, I recommend getting a spray bottle, fill it with water, and then just add a very light spritz of the perfume, (or a few drops if you have a sample). I use it to mist my hair to style it, and I find it gives my hair a delicate scent, without being as strongly present as perfume applied to skin.

I posted a video on Instagram sleuthing out the notes of this launch, and it caught the brand's attention! I was kindly gifted my bottle from Flower Shop. Here are my thoughts. Whipped, airy, buttered popcorn scent. If you like Hard to Get from Forvr Mood, this is a similar DNA with added depth and whimsy. This fragrance has an enchanting trail in the air. It smells like someone aerated a cotton candy kettle corn bakery into a cloud of magic. This is not dense, heavy, or syrupy. It is light and whimsical. It serves up performance and sillage, as expected from a renowned performance company. There is a magic to this scent. It reminds me of my childhood, something I would be in awe of as a kid, but can revisit as an adult with the same level of nostalgia and wonder. This is certainly a niche quality- the scent smells on par with the price, in my opinion. I get good longevity and projection with this (~6hrs, fills a room) and it really dances in the air. This fragrance is magic. I love it. Big fan of this launch and so excited to hear what you all think! Also Fragrantica if you are listening; add Forvr Mood's fragrances to this site. It's time. Huzzah!

This is an absolute LOVE. I just recieved a sample, and on first spray i got an immediate butter popcorn note but not artificial or overpowering, it is actually a lovely beginning note. The complex properties of this perfume are astonishing. As said before, the first spray is butter popcorn, not similar to something like whipped pleasure by lattafa where it's an intense note of artificial butterpopcorn and so cloying. I was quite shocked at how i didn't mind it. Then it turns into this vanillic fruity sweet smell that isn't childish at all. Its what you would smell on someone who radiates soft gentle femininity. Confident, kind, sweet, trusting. It's so complex and hard to describe but truly an amazing creamy vanilla fruity scent. I cannot believe how much I love this, and my husband can't believe how fast his credit card was charged for a full bottle!! Do not hesitate to get a sample of this. Reminder: everyone's PH is different, and changes. So while it sits beautifully on my skin, it may not on yours and that's OK! Try it first 🤍

⭐️ 10/10 — whimsical, nostalgic, and quietly addictive This is my forever favorite, and I don’t say that lightly. Cirque du Soleil wears like a memory more than a perfume. The opening feels airy and playful—cotton candy and red apple give it that spun-sugar sparkle—then the popcorn note drifts in, not buttery or heavy, but fluffy and warm, like standing near a concession stand just as the show is about to begin. What makes this special is the texture. It’s light, powdered, and lactonic rather than syrupy. As it settles, caramel and vanilla melt into soft woods and amber, creating a cozy sweetness that never turns cloying. The balance is beautiful: gourmand, but refined; nostalgic, but grown. Projection stays intimate, longevity is better than you’d expect for something this airy, and the dry-down feels like being wrapped in velvet seats and golden light. If you love gourmands that feel emotional rather than edible, this one is magic. I will always have a bottle. — @buzzwithhoneybee 🐝

Very light, airy, and sweet. Really love this one! Its a gourmand that would be perfect in the spring. Reminds me of an early cool morning. Very much get the cotton candy and apple. Not so much the popcorn or butter for my nose. But it's beautiful and unique! Update 6.12.25: I've ended up wearing this about every other day for the last month (received 3.18.25). I do get the popcorn now! I was in my bedroom the other day while wearing this and could've sworn I smelled someone making buttery movie theater popcorn. That quickly dissipated but it was there and so photorealistic for a few seconds. I had been wearing for a couple of hours at that point. I don't think I've ever experienced a scent that evolves and actually feels like walking through a changing environment like this one. It's so unique and special. Very quickly become one of my fave perfumes and I can see myself always having a bottle around until the day I go to compost.

I’ve always loved perfume, but this is the fragrance that turned me into a full on fanatic. I purchased the 10 ml on a whim to take on vacation to Circus Circus (it seemed fitting for obvious reasons) and ended up falling head over heels for it. I knew it was in the same vein as Boardwalk Delight, cotton candy with creamy undertones, but it’s so much more complex than that. The apple shines through beautifully and the buttery popcorn smell is there, without smelling like a candle or a wax melt. It is light and airy and positively stunning. Lasts for about six hours, but that’s around the time I reapply anyway, so I don’t mind that at all. It became my signature fragrance in a heartbeat and now that I own the full size, I’m really excited to see how it matures over time. Oh and the bottle is a work of art in and of itself. I can’t stop staring at it. And smelling my wrists. It’s perfection!

Got a sample of this from luckyscent and I immediately bought the full bottle. I LOVE gourmand scents and this is probably one of the most interesting gourmands and one of my favorite. The initial smell is not my vibe - it smells like butter popcorn. But give her a chance, the dry down is AMAZING. It’s seriously so well blended. It smells like vanilla, caramel and a little bit of floral. You don’t really get the buttery popcorn notes in the dry down. I also don’t get bergamot. It’s like if you mixed Escapade Gourmand + Cheirosa 62 + Carnival by Brown girl Jane but more interesting. It has all the notes you would expect a carnival/circus but blended so well and smooth that’s it’s classy and yummy. The smell is addicting. If you like gourmands, you’ll probably like this perfume. The hype of real on this one. I hope they never discontinue this. I’ve never smelled a perfume like this 10/10.

From hearing the notes on this, I couldn't imagine liking it. I mean, who wants to smell like buttered popcorn??? Fun Fact - ME!!!!! This perfume is STUNNING. It opens with buttered popcorn, cotton candy and caramel, but somehow it is delivered in a way that is surprisingly soft and fluffy. I'm not one to wax poetic about perfumes, but honestly, it's like being in a light pink and blue fluffy cloud of happiness. I am a dance teacher for adult women and during class one of them said "what smells so good in here?" There was a subsequent chorus of approvals from the other students. I was concerned it was overpowering in that environment, but they all agreed that it was just a pleasant, light scent trail they picked up on while I was standing near them. Even though it is sweet, it is not overpowering and not overly juvenile. This perfume is fun and joyous - and it is in my top 5 favorites.

This scent makes me think of two things: 1) My first job, working at a movie theater: specifically, popping popcorn and making cotton candy. 2) Going to the fair and walking around eating a candied red apple. I had put on something else straight out of the shower, but then walked by this bottle and couldn’t resist one spray on the back of my hand. Cut to me laying in bed smelling something I really liked but wasn’t sure what it was because I thought I’d put something else on out of the shower 🙃 My forgetfulness aside, I was feeling a little down but smelling this truly put me in a better mood. It’s just fun. Plain and simple. I do think you’re able to pick out the individual notes if you really sit with it but I think I like most about it is the overall zoomed out fragrance as a whole. And let me be clear: I hate kettle corn. This somehow is not that.

This scent is beautiful! It starts out with a Caramel Popcorn vibe. You get nuances of the Vanilla and Cotton Candy, and kind of the Red Apple, but as it dries down the Amber starts to shine and everything mellows out and warms up. In the end, at least on me, it's a velvety, Caramelly, Vanillay, sweet, warm, Amber scent. It's very nostalgic and does remind me of going to the circus as a kid, but it's not a childish or completely dessert-like, scent. It's a sweet, warm, intimate Gourmand that is very wearable. You're not going to smell like Caramel Popcorn and Cotton Candy. I would almost say it's a safe blind buy if you love Gourmand scents. It almost reminds me of Bath & Body Works Wicked Vanilla Woods Body Mist....which I own and wish there was a stronger version of every time I wear it....and this might be it:)

Just as the bottle is whimsical, enchanting and beautiful, the scent itself captures that same magical spirit. It is contradictory in the best possible way: it's somehow light yet rich, sweet yet savoury, playful yet sophisticated. It is a marvel. I genuinely feel like you get to experience everything it promises to deliver. If you want to know what it smells like, look no further than the notes- they are exactly what you get, and each note has its moment to shine, creating a journey that remains interesting for hours. As a gourmand lover, this fragrance is a dream. It delivers sweetness and indulgence while maintaining enough complexity and balance to keep me coming back for another sniff. It really has an addictive quality! This is a fragrance that feels every bit as enchanting as the world that inspired it.

Because the market is so over saturated with gourmands I did not have high expectations for this to be anything ground breaking, however, I was pleasantly surprised! To my nose and on my skin, it smells very well blended with some notes more prominent at different stages. I get the cotton candy at initial spray (not too sweet), mid is more caramel vanilla and when it dries it becomes sandalwood, vanilla, caramel perfume but in the most soft, blended, fluffy way. It is safe to say it has something unique about it (coming from someone that owns too many gourmands 😅). I got a sample first and then purchased a full bottle. Reading the comments, It seems this perfume really changes with people’s skin chemistry, as everyone has a different experience with the scent so I would suggest to sample it first.

watery apple + light sugary accord (which i originally thought might be a marshmallow accord instead of a cotton candy accord) + sweet, buttery popcorn + incense-like sandalwood! one of those rare fragrances where most of the notes actually seemed to be present! i wouldn't have been able to call out the floral notes + caramel + amber notes, but i think they do help round of this fragrance. this is a really light-hearted gourmand in one of the most stunning bottles i've ever come across, but heads up—the sandalwood gives this composition a smoky quality that i'm not the biggest fan of because it makes me think of burnt popcorn. the wear time is also not extraordinary. it lasts maybe 4 hours on my skin? but all in all, this is an incredibly fun fragrance!

She's complex, she's buttery, she's so special. This one is bright, sweet, and fruity like sugary apples, but the buttery popcorn note makes everything feel warm and baked. After the dry down, amber and sandalwood stick around much more than any of the lighter fruit notes, but it's so delicious. This is the kind of perfume that is unique enough to be "signature scent" worthy. The wear is good - it projects and lingers quite well, especially on clothes, but for the price, I wish she was a little more of a powerhouse. I was SO thrilled when I could finally get a 10ml travel spray bottle of this, after savoring my sample for as long as possible. She's expensive for sure, but I'll definitely splurge for the full sized bottle when my travel spray runs out.

The initial spray honestly does smell cheap to me, like something from Bath and Body Works. As it dries, it’s much more fluffy and somewhat dreamy. I don’t detect any popcorn yet and the cotton candy is not very strong. The apple is the strongest note right now. Really enjoying it but it’s not full bottle worthy so far. That may change, so stay tuned. Update: has macerated into a buttery, slightly fruity, and ambery scent. It is pretty unique and not overly juvenile. It smells more complex over time. I’m not obsessed with it but I may consider buying a full bottle in the future, though it is pricey for what it is. It lasts pretty much all day on me but does not project well.

On first spray, I genuinely did not know how to feel. My immediate thought was how incredibly unique it was. As it settled, that uncertainty turned into admiration. This is easily one of the best gourmands I have ever smelled. It is distinctive, imaginative, and undeniably delicious, with a whimsical quality that feels playful. It is truly mouthwatering. I have to agree with another reviewer who called this “fun art” because you can smell the joy and creativity behind it. This is a fragrance you will never forget. That said, if gourmands are not your thing, this likely will not win you over. But if you love gourmands, you will absolutely appreciate what this scent is doing.

When I learned about Le Cirque Du Soleil releasing a perfume, I got so excited 🌞. I immediately blind bought it, and damn, I’m so happy I did. The moment this beauty arrived, I tried it on. The presentation is exactly as one would expect from Le Cirque du Soleil. At first, I was hit with the sweetness of the cotton Candy and apple, which reminds me of a Pomme D’amour - Candied Apple 🍎. Then, the buttery notes come through 🧈. After a while, the caramel, vanilla, amber, and sandalwood notes become omnipresent 🪵. This perfume is a beautifully blended, sweet amber gourmand. It’s simply intoxicating. Whimsical. The best blind buy of my life. ✨

Honestly? It’s heavenly. It really is. Makes my eyes almost roll back in my head. I get crisp red apples and buttery caramel popcorn in the opening (divine) and then woods in the base after the top notes have left. I love both the opening and the dry down. It has a sensuality to the base, which I appreciate. It’s fun, delicious, sexy, fluffy, and just plain good. I get no headache from this either. Leau de Parfum is my new signature scent (replacing Missing Person by Phlur) and this lasts for about 6 hours on skin. Probably better on clothes. I always catch wafts and don’t go nose blind to it. This is a masterpiece, grab a decant!

This fragrance smells so delicious! First spray — I was nervous because it was a buttery popcorn scent. It quickly dissipated and all I could smell was delicious sweets and cotton candy!!!!! Omg I’m in love ! It is so hard for fragrance houses to get a cotton candy fragrance right, but this fragrance is done perfectly. This isn’t kiddie cotton candy. This is sexy and seductive cotton candy. You also get that sweet apple along with a spiciness. This is wonderful, I think I’ve found my signature scent! Seasons : winter and fall But if you love it that much like I do — you might want to wear her all year. lol 10 out of 10

I don’t have the most discerning nose, but on first impression I LOVE this. I did get the popcorn, initially, but it fades fairly quickly. I also got a like smokiness similar to By The Fireplace, which I am a big fan of. That may be what some are associating with burnt sugar. I do get the caramel, faint apple and cotton candy. I can’t speak to sillage or longevity yet, as I just received it today. I will amend my comment after I get a chance to experience it more. So far it is a 9/10 for me. I am not sure if I will buy a full bottle due to cost, however. For now I will see how quickly I go through the travel size.

I bought a decant sample of this scent because I was looking for a cotton candy fragrance. I was worried about the large array of notes, since I'm usually a minimalist who prefers perfumes with fewer notes. When I first applied this to my skin, I smelled the popcorn and butter, both realistic. Then a cotton candy note appeared and grew. The cotton candy is the most prominent note, and in the background there's a hint of popcorn and apple, which prevents the cotton candy note from being too sweet. I like the scent; it's fun. I'm not sure where to wear it, though. It's not something I'd wear to the office or to bed.

L'eau de Parfum Cirque du Soleil is a literal carnival of gourmand notes that captures the chaos of circus snacks with an expert hand, blending them into a scent that’s fun, wearable, and genuinely interesting. While it’s not something I’d personally buy (though my inner child could change her mind!), I admire its creativity and execution. For gourmand lovers, it’s a playful yet polished ride — it’s quite an achievement, and an unexpectedly well done take on circus-inspired whimsy. It’s super fun and makes me smile! 🤩 😀 Edit: my inner child bullied me into buying this. I’m not mad at her.

Finally in my collection 🤍 I’ve been receiving so many compliments on this fragrance. People literally are drawn to my neck asking what fragrance I’m using , it’s a wearable gourmand honestly . At the initial spray, you sense a delicate cotton candy sweetness that slowly melts into a buttery caramel apple yet it never becomes overly warm or heavy, thanks to the airy glow of that sugary note. To me, it lives somewhere between Il Tempo delle Hilde Soliani and Jany by Sora Dora: not as warm and enveloping as Jany, yet softer and less sharply bright in the apple than Hilde Soliani. 🎭 ✨ 🎪 🌙

I was hesitant to buy this, mainly because of the popcorn note. I don't want to smell like I just walked out of a movie theater, covered in popcorn grease, but OMG. It's so good. So well blended. The perfect balance of sweet and salty, fun, pretty, and cozy! The buttery popcorn is strongest on initial spray, but within 5 minutes it fades just enough to balance out the sweetness of the cotton candy and caramel. I also get the apple, vanilla, amber and sandalwood, which add depth and sophistication...I want to smell myself all day. If you're into gourmands, you must try this. 10/10

Ugh I love this fragrance so much. It reminds me of being a kid again, it’s like the perfume of innocence. It also smells very similar to fruit loops. It’s so yummy. I don’t really think any one note dominates here (probably because everything is blended to perfection), so if you’re worried about smelling like popcorn, you shouldn’t be. I know there’s more votes for fall and winter, but this just smells like summer in a bottle. That being said, it’s pretty inoffensive and will pretty much work year round. My only complaint is that it does not last very long or project much. :(

This is pure sweet sugary perfection! It smells EXACTLY like the sweetest cotton candy on me, with a buttery smoothness underneath, and just a touch of the brightness of caramel apple. It is a festive carnival feast, and I love it! I just wish it lasted longer. Even when I overspray, it stays with me for only a couple of hours. And it sits relatively close to the skin. It is not a huge projector. But it's so wonderful. A great mood lifter! I wish I could afford the biggest bottle, but I will savor my little 10ml while it lasts.

I love this scent. The opening is sweet and sugary with very strong notes of apple. I love the freshness of the apple, iris, and freesia juxtaposing the buttery, salty popcorn and caramel. The pink sugar cotton candy is so so perfect during the dry down and it definitely enhances the more floral notes. The saltiness of the popcorn plays so nicely against the sweet apple, caramel, and cotton candy. This is one of my favorite gourmonds I've ever smelled, it's so balanced (but definitely leans sweeter as it is a gourmond).

Gourmands don't usually interest me, but I'm obsessed with clowns, so I was excited to win this in a givaway. It's great. Exactly what I want in a gourmand, which is something that still smells like a perfume, and not food itself, or worse, a scented candle. Love the bottle and box, too. It's a shame the medallion on the lid doesn't actually spin. It should, for the price. My boyfriend says it smells like cotton candy. That definitely comes through. It is reminiscent of Pink Sugar + buttered popcorn + apple

Faaaaar too expensive for what this is. Though it is a pleasant experience (especially the top notes of caramel apple), I am not necessarily wowed by it. The popcorn note on my skin is the most prominent, not sure I like that... It’s the powdery and vanillic dry down that I dislike the most. And as far as longevity, this fragrance is mediocre! So for about $200 USD, is it worth it? No. Not at all. Plus, honestly, the bottle itself looks like the Fortress of Barad-Dur with the Eye of Sauron on top 🤭🤭🤭🤡

If you tend to HATE popcorn notes like I do, don't let that scare you away from sampling this out! This perfume was geniusly crafted to be super airy and light, on my skin I get red apple/cotton candy/caramel from the popcorn but it's also light/not cloying. It feels as if you are smelling these scents at a circus, around you, rather than on you. It's a little smoky, a little sweet, but also fresh. That being said, this perfume being sold by a circus (despite smelling expensive) being $200 is crazy 😭

A multilayered gourmand! Any of these notes individually have been found in many a cheap gourmand perfume that I have owned. The candy apple, the cotton candy, the buttered popcorn. But altogether they create a feast for the nose that conjured such a specific image of golden lacquer that I am just addicted to and becomes instead, decadent. This has been on my wish list for a year now and I am so glad I finally have my hands on her. This smells similar to Trick or Treat and County Fair by Alkemia.

Omg. I love this scent. The cotton candy reminds me a lot of Pink Sugar. The buttered popcorn gives a lovely savory aspect that balances the sweetness. At first sniff, I though it was a bit too sweet. But, after wearing it on my skin, I don’t think that’s the case. An explosion of sweetness comes first, followed by an hours-long mellowing that consists of a deep, sultry deliciousness which comes from the amber and sandalwood. Yummy. And the bottle is just gorgeous.

I don't normally go for cotton candy in perfumes, but it doesn't come across too sweet or screechy in this. If I had to sum this fragrance up in one word, it would just be SMOOTH. The caramel and vanilla are balanced by the apple and cotton candy. The butter and bergamot smooth everything out. (Popcorn is barely detectable.) It's blended so well that it's super easy to enjoy without dissecting note by note. This is easy reach/signature scent worthy.

I have quickly become obsessed with this gourmand by ‘Cirque.’ I enjoy how warm and comforted I feel wearing it. To me, it starts off a little fruity and takes me on an adventure as it develops into the most endearing popcorn/caramel that I find myself continually sniffing like an addict. This truly is a masterpiece, complex and deep. Thankfully, it lasts all day on my skin and I love to catch whiffs of this carnival throughout the day. ✨

This is such an interesting gourmand. This fragrance captures the exact smell of being at a fair. The very interesting part is that it still smells like a perfume and not just straight food. The sandalwood on the dry down is just so lovely. It’s very strong so maybe a couple of spritzes and you’ll smell it all day. This would be extra divine for a winter holiday! Warm and cozy caramel corn, with a beautiful buttery woody base.

So. Damn. Yummy. Opens up with rich butter and popcorn, dances into floral notes, then settles into warm sweetness! I do wish the apple was more present on my skin, but the perfume is still rather springy and not overpowering/nauseating regardless. Slightly spicy undertone helps balance it out as well. A very playful one!! When I wear it I think of big smiles, summer evenings neon and buzzing with fair lights, and excitement.

I have to disagree with those who say this isn’t a special gourmand. While I can see why some may not like it, it has something so whimsical about it. It takes childish notes and blends them into something more special and grown. The cotton candy and butter notes mix and give it a lactonic quality that I love. For me, this smells like strawberry milk and I absolutely love it. Getting my hands on a bottle of this one asap

Smells expensive and whimsical. Exactly like a luxury circus. Strong gourmand, the popcorn and caramel notes stand out. Absolutely delicious. There’s a faint “smokey” sort of scent I pick up on that makes me envision incense coming from a tent or something. If you’re whimsical, fun, and obsessed with gourmands, this perfume is made for you. Not to mention the bottle is insanely beautiful.

If only it lasted! The buttery note is even better smelling the actual movie theater butter (which smells chemically to me) but disappears in 10m and the caramel apple is gone in 20m. While it’s positively delightful, I just can’t see investing so much for something so short lived. I bet you a longer lasting and perhaps even slightly better done dupe of this is already in the works.

Stopped being into the vast majority of gourmands a while ago, as most are way too sickly sweet and synthetic for me, but I am still VERY much in love with this!!! Rich but also airy, very sweet and slightly tart. Youthful but also mature simultaneously, never juvenile nor dated. A very contradictory (affectionate) scent that knows exactly how to be a lot without being too much.

I’m a cirque groupie and a perfumista so obviously I was going to blind buy this $200 perfume 😂 and what can I say? Packaging is on point, and the scent is absolutely mouth watering. I’ll be wearing it to every show and any time I need a pick me up because this is as good for my mood as a bar of chocolate and unlike the chocolate, it last ages and doesn’t make me fat. So there.

I am not usually one for perfumes as sweet as this, but I am a huge circus culture nerd. This smells like all the pretty parts of the circus. It starts off with a strong cotton candy smell, and settles into a crisp caramel that lasts all day. I really REALLY like mixing this with "fireside story" by For Strange Women to make a "circus fire" vibe for the day, its delightful!

sweet, buttery florals is what came across immediately. the fruity notes are crisp and light, not fake and juicy, like most fruit notes are to my nose—THANK GOD! the cotton candy accord isn't exactly photorealistic to me, but it did put a smile on my face. i'm so tired of beast mode overwhelming slap-in-the-face gourmands. this was a lighter, happier change of pace.

This smells so good. It’s very gourmand, right away you get caramel, apples, buttered popcorn, but there’s also a woody depth that keeps it from becoming overly sweet or cloying. It feels deep and whimsical at the same time, like you’re at a fair or carnival at night 🎡 It’s rich, atmospheric, and slightly surreal in the best way. I’m honestly in love with it.

I saw the fragrance notes and was immediately curious and wanted to try this! I've been wearing for about 5 hours now and the popcorn scent has gone away and has mellowed down to a sweet, fruity caramel. Its still kind of strong now but I almost wish it was stronger! Its more subtle than expected. I totally want to get the full size some day :)

I had this one and like a moron, I decluttered it 🙄 Now, I’m getting another bottle because it’s the perfect Autumn/Holidays fragrance. It brings feelings of anticipation and butterflies, going to the fair in the evening with the smells of sugary treats while holding hands with your crush or your significant other...best feeling ever!!🩵

Perfection in a bottle. Fluffy and sweet. A cloud of caramel candy apple on first spray. Then bam, vanilla/caramel with some light florals. Then florals fade & then I smell fairy floss & buttered popcorn/whipped butter. God it’s delicious. It doesn’t last super long on my skin but thank goodness it lasts on clothes! 10/10 for me.
