Circus Fantasy, from Britney Spears in 2009, is a sugary floral with a watery, candyfloss lightness. Floral is the word everyone uses and most also call it sweet; a minority find it woody, musky or fresh.
Raspberry and sugar open it with an openly confectionery fruitiness, and apricot blossom adds a soft, fuzzy floral sweetness. The heart is delicate rather than lush: peony and water lily give a dewy, slightly aquatic freshness, and orchid a smooth, creamy touch. The base is violet, vanilla and musk over soft woods, so the drydown is powdery-sweet and clean, like a sweet shop seen from a distance rather than up close.
Most wearers find the longevity moderate, with a quarter calling it weak, and the sillage is moderate to intimate. Spring and summer share the seasonal votes equally and it is overwhelmingly worn by day. It suits warm, casual daytime wear and anyone who likes gourmand sweetness kept light and floral rather than heavy.
