Circus Fantasy Britney Spears for women

This perfume smells like fruit but the thing adout this perfume is that the smell goes away to fast it only last like a few min

I have never smelled this, but am not a britney fan. That in and of itself has kept me away from her perfumes. But I think I will stop being so snobby about it and give her fragrances a chance. I am quite disapointed, though, that the box is much more exciting and interesting than the actual bottle the product comes in.... :( .....sad face.

WHen I first applied this on my wrist I thought it was a tiny bit too sweet. But about 10 minutes later It deffinatly calmed down and I can smell my 2 favourites! Vanilla and raspberry.
I really like this parfume.
I think its great for every moment. College, work, a date, a night out.
If you're not into extremely sweet fragrances or extremely heavy one I deffinatly recomend this.
its a soft smell with a tiny warm edge of vanilla.
Love it

This is such a fun, inoffensive fragrance. No, it's not too refined and it's definitely not original, but it's just a happy scent. The drydown is slighty soapy which doesn't bother me. It's like being out in the summer sun, sipping lemonade and having some fresh, sugared raspberries after washing the car. Lemonade, raspberries, sugar, sun and soap... Yum.

Lasting power is so-so but I don't mind reapplying. I also find the Fantasy bottles pretty tacky but this one is my favorite, I would love to find a bigger one. I don't know what a circus is supposed to smell like but this one should have been called Summer Fantasy!

Something about this fragrance is truly does remind me of a summer festival! I can't pinpoint just what, but it's lovely. I wore it today, a cold Buffalo winter day - and it's really perked me up. It makes me think for a moment that the grass must be green outside, and makes me feel like I went to the fair hours ago rather than months. I love it.

this smells like windex ..but with a cheap berry scent.

I don't know where it comes from but I get a burst of lemons when I first apply this. After a few minutes, the lemon turns to violets and raspberry. After a half hour it's totally gone. Weird because original Fantasy lasts for hours on me and the notes I get are pretty true to claim. Circus is nice but I wish it would last longer.

I already wrote a review I know, but I am writing a second review because I didnt give circus enough credit. I decided to wear it again and I actually really enjoyed it and couldn't stop smelling myself.It is definitively fruity!I like it!

I actually bought it for my 14 year old cousin as an xmas gift but of course I tested it being the scent junkie that I am lol. The packaging is fun and the scent suits it perfectly. Upon first spray I got a strong blast of something citrusy. When this calmed down it started to smell like berry bubblegum. During its bubblegum stage I picked up wiffs of that "hairspray" smell but it was fleeting. When the bubblegum passed it reached its best stage and became a soft musky sweet almost elegant fragrance that i couldn't stop sniffing. I wouldn't get i for myself if only because the bubbblegum stage made me feel like a teenybopper but it really is a great perfume. A winner on many fronts and i would openly recommend it to anyone.

I couldn't stand this scent...it smelled like bad soap :(

This is not my kind of scent...Id say being 25 this is too young for me...My little sister who is 14 adores Britneys scents...definitively not my cup of tea...but I bought it for $7.50 at Walmart after the holidays so I cant really complain.Add it to my collection.

I got this perfume as a present for christmas,I love the original fantasies and this one didn't dissapoint, it's slightly more floral and fresh than the other ones. When you first spray it,it smells like sour rasberry and apricot with various florals. On my skin it smells sweeter than from smelling it in the bottle.If you like fruity floral fragrances (but not too fruity) then I reccommend it to you.

I'm totally agree with Christian for description of Circus !!!
As my personal experience, this is similar with my favorite cologne in junior high school which more florals but unavailable now. Of course Circus has better longevity. ;)

the best britney fragrance in my opinion. Starts of super fresh and fruity, the apricot blossom really stands out.. so does the raspberries. Normally i dont tend to like fragrance with raspberries as i feel it makes a fragrance sickly sweet but on Circus Fantasy it was wonderful .. the sweetness was still there but it was more fresh and clean, I know its nowhere in the fragrance but i detect so much lemon.. which makes the fragrance so juicy. ...

I also think that color of the bottle looks more expensive than the rest of the fantasy line.

if u thought that the rest of Britney fantasy line was a bit too sickly sweet..try this as it still remains as sweet-candy fragrance but more clean and fresh!

Ended up buying this today, and love it!
I find it smells like limes! I love the fruity scent of it!

i bought another at marshalls for 12.99 and i tried it again and this time i do like it and now i do think it gives the other fantasies a run for their money. it is very nice and i plan to buy a bigger bottle i have the 1.7oz for now. i think its good for teenagers but i like it for myself lol!

this ir very very long lasting.. up to 24 hours! just crazy!!

I almost purchased this sent in the summer, but, I opted for midnight fantasy. I sort of regretted my decision, I love midnight fantasy, but, the smell of circus fantasy seemed to loom in my thoughts. I loved the smell needless to say. youthful, floral, sweet and fun. I'll admit, you have to be into that kind of sent to really appreciate this one.
I think my mom got me this for Christmas :) my perfume collection always grows ALOT over the holiday season.

I really love this scent i like things that smell like candy

I recall spritzing CF on about a year ago and if memory serves I did like it, but dismissed it because I liked Fantasy more. I still like Fantasy but not as much as I used to, it's VERY powerful on me even in a miniscule application. CF was a happy suprise, it is very very berry on me in the opening, I do get a bit of the peony but it really is mostly raspberry and fruits. I have 20+ Phaleonopsis orchids (the orchid shown in the note picture) in my house and they all have no or very very little smell so I have no idea why orchid is listed among the notes unless they just mean general orchid as I know some other types of orchids do smell.

The dry down is mostly musky vanilla with the raspberry still lingering, I get a generic "candy" type note, a pleasant "warm" smell, not harsh sugar, kinda caramelish.

I think this would be a mostly summerish scent but am going to try it again to get a better sence of the season it's best for, maybe it could be agreeable for winter who knows...

The only downside is it is not very long wearing on me at all, I get 2 hours and the sillage is way down, I have to put my nose almost directly on my wrist to get a whiff. I tend to like perfumes I can smell wafting around me.....not over applied, but just a nice sillage. Fantasy is a sillage monster on me, even with only 1 fast tiny spray, CF is the opposite, I'd need a good 2 strong sprays to get a good sillage going.

All in all a nice scent, I'll get a mini bottle when I locate one. :0)

Circus Fantasy is a nice fresh, youthful scent with brilliant staying power. It is more similar to Radiance than the other Fantasy-themed perfumes. The bottle is the most gorgeous little thing too!

This was my favorite fragrance and signature fragrance for years! It's the perfect, yummy mixture of florals and sweets! It's perfect for any season, nice, mellow, not overly sweet or overly crazy. Still my 2nd favorite fragrance of all time, just behind Radiance.

But I don't know why you wouldn't get this - though I suggest getting the 1.7 oz or smaller, because with 1 or 2 sprits your good, and the big bottles aren't as gorgeous. But amazing bottle, amazing smell, it's amazing!

I really love this scent. I smelled it in a magazine flap and couldn't stop going back to smell it again. Even my guy friends said it smelled amazing, very sugary. It feels more like a night perfume, but I wear it anyway during the day. The scent wears off a bit but I only do one spray so that could be why..

I don't know what it is about this perfume, but I can't help but keep wearing it. I honestly don't want to like it, but... unexplicably... I do like. It's got a more casual smell to it than some of her others. When I wear this, it's usually during the day.

I really like this, I kind of get candied apples, caramel and buttered popucorn a little grass and flowers and lemony sunshine... The Vanilla is not too detectable, just enough to smooth everything out. It's really the only one from the fantasy line I had to have, I find it to be very creative. However there is a vintage perfume that was created around the different scents (only the good ones, lol) of a circus, this being a much younger version, and modern.

The bottle in pictures was not impressive but in person, it feels quite nice and looks even better :)

BTW if someone can remember the name of that vintage perfume it would be greatly appreciated, and would love to swap for it. I'm at a loss, it's called something similar to TZAR? maybe :/

LOL ..reporting back the vintage perfume this reminds me of is Dzing! by L Artisan :p not Tzar,lmao

I'm on the fence about her music, although some of it is on my I-pod. After seeing her Circus perfume at a good price I am pleased with it although I cannot smell a hit of raspberry whatsoever.

i have been wanting to smell this last and latest edition of fantasy, as i have the original pink bottle, midnight and forbidden.
another job well done!
i adooore apricot and when blended with raspberry and caramel candy---
well lets just say the effect is marvelous.
fruity, sweet, creamy....then it starts to dry down and starts to get soapy which
i can't lie, does ruin it slighly for me.
if the apricot didn't get sudsy, i would add this to my collection, but it became too synthetic for me. the top and middle are wonderful though.

EN SUS NOTAS MEDIAS SON MUY SIMILARES A CURVE KICKS LIZ CLAIBORNE, ALGO CITRICO Y LUEGO CREMA DE NARANJAS, MUY RICA, EXQUISITA¡¡¡

When I saw the bottle, I imagined the perfume would be horribly sweet and with tonns of vanilla... When I sprayed this on my skin and smelled it I was like 'Wow!!! This is great!!' So I grabbed a bottle without even looking at the other perfumes. Why is this great?

1. Great scent
The peach blossom, candy and a bit of vanilla are most sensible when mixed with my skin chemistry. That way the perfume is fresh and bright, but girly and flirty. I like it a bit more than the overly sweet for me original. This is an ideal everyday fragrance that will most likely not offend anyone. Great for school/university/work/etc.

2. Awesome bottle
It looks really sweet and feminine, and it will look great with all the other Fantasies which I collect. I like the smaller bottles more because they look like a small 'love potion', the big ones are bulky and harder for me to use.

3. Great value
It's not expensive at all and I like the perfume more than some crazy-priced stinkations. >> Everyone has their one dislikes!

Bottom line: AWESOME!! I don't really like Britney or her music, but this chick really got a hell of a talent in perfumes!

*Everything here is IMO.*

I love the original Fantasy, but it is a little bit too citrusy for me. I don't really get raspberries, and i cant even detect a hint of vanilla! I think it's a clean, fresh, almost green scent. Really nice and perfect for work or everyday use, but not my style.

I have tried all of Britney's 'Fantasy' perfumes and this is my favourite. It isn't as sickly sweet as the original Fantasy, I'd say it's more fruity. It lasted a longtime and I got a few compliments when I was wearing it. I highly recommend 'Circus Fantasy' to any female! I just wish I had of bought a bigger bottle :)

Sweet, a lil bit strong at first, but it becomes softly.
I smell berries, lemon, and candy.
vanilla in the dry down, its very nice.
its sweet enough, but it doesnt make me headache,
makes me feel want to bite my arm. LOL

This is the little sister of the entire Fantasy collection. It is young, fresh, clean, girly, and flirty. It's perfect for young girls and summer days. I wouldn't wear this on a date, but still, I think most guys will like this fresh scent since it's not overwhelming.

The raspberry note in this one is very subtle. Its almost a lemony candy, when it dried down I smelled a lot of synthetic cosmetic scent that made me headache although I often use strong sweet perfume. I do love Fantasy but Circus and hidden Fantasy just failed me

I bought this off Amazon for 15 USD - a 30 ml bottle plus 100 ml of lotion. A review that made me want this scent was "Men In LOVE"'s review. I do agree that it's fresh and clean.

It smells to me like a slightly sweet dusting powder. I do find it powdery on me and not saccharine. It only has it a hint of sweetness to warm it up.

It initially lasts four hours and then goes close to the skin. The dry down is soft and subtle.

I'm pretty sure it has sillage because people on the elevator could smell me and so could my brother when he visited.

I like it. It's a good everyday scent at a great price.

This smells exactly like "green tea" by elizabeth Arden..which I hate. Its very zesty and sharp, and overides all the other notes in the perfume.

i appear to be working my way through the whole britney collection!
i really like this one it is much less of a sugary sweet smell, and more of a lovely clean floral smell, it was a lovely unexpected surprise!
i got the lotion of this too which is a good likeness to the perfume and they layer very well and last ages on the skin, and smell gorgeous!
good if your looking for change from the (super) sweet scents but still want something pretty!

i think this could have easily been a fitting follow up to believe (which i love but it would seem its not as popular as the fantasy line) they are different but to my nose these two are the most fresh florally scents from britney!

This is a very very musky, raspberry, apricot blossom, and candy scent. There is something to me that smells a little lemony and tart. I can't believe how long lasting it is...I sprayed it on a piece of paper and I could still smell it after 2 days! I got my bottle for ten dollars, I think this stuff is an excellent deal for great quality. This perfume is clean, fresh, sweet, and flirty. Somehow manages to be all of those :).

yo compre este perfume el año pasado y se me hace un perfume fresco como para primavera y verano tiene un buen toque floral y me gusta porque lo uso para ir a trbajar y despues para ir al gimnacio y la fragancia se siente bien al transpirarla y no se descomponen sus notas,es un prefume joven como para una chica de 17 a 33 año creo yo

This fragrance is a very simple combination of raspberries and dry roasted peanuts. Very weird for me, but I don't mind it if I layer it with something else kind of warm like Jessica Simpson Fancy. these two together smell better than just one alone. i like Brit's other Fantasy lines better and they last longer too.

This is quite a nice scent, but it's still my least favorite of the fantasy range.

Circus Fantasy has a distinct soapiness to it, especially in the dry down, which I don't get from the other *Fantasies* and I'm not sure whether I like it or not.

The scent opens with a nice juicy burst of raspberry (which is refreshing if somewhat synthetic). However, the rest of the perfume is more floral than fruity.

On my skin the orchid and peony were quite strong, and there is a nice sweet vanilla underlining it all...but the soapiness detracts from the scent overall.

It has a cute and pretty bottle, as do most Britney perfumes. But unfortunately the scent inside failed to *wow* me.

I LOVE this scent. It smells like scrumptious real raspberry sprinkled with sugar and lemon juice. I can smell apricot blossoms strongly, but they are a sweet flower and don't bother me. There is a presistant candy/musk note that is there from beginning to end. Sweet, candy-like gorgeousness! And so inexpensive to boot. This lasts and lasts and lasts and lasts 0_o, I've had this still noticeable on my clothes 8+ hours later

On a side note: What the heck is Britney wearing in this advert?? She looks like every kind of awkward imaginable!

I get a candied raspberry-lemon, and very clean soapyness. It's long lasting. I love the fantasy bottles, so whimsical and playful.

I think this fragrance is good for spring because of the fruity and soapyness.

Hey! I read a lot of comments that said that Circus Fantasy smells like soap and nothing more. Well, to me it smells like sugary raspberry wrapped in a delicious vanilla ice cream. Awesome perfume! Lighter than other fragrances from the fantasy collection,but fruity and creamy, just like a day perfume should be. If you like fresh, fruity scents, this is for you...=^.^= You won't regret buying it! :)

I first smelled this right after it came out and was not all that impressed. But a couple years later I found it @ Ross for 10 bucks and thought, "what the hell, why not?". At first sniff I get the tart raspberry with what I get as a orange creamsicle and lemonade (which is delicious together), as it combines with my skin chemistry I'm getting a gorgeous mix of peony and candies and 5ish hours later I'm getting a creamy vanilla, musk, and a rich violet tone. Overall, I'd rate this a winner.

i just sampled Circus Fantasy today..i tought i was gonna like it but maybe not..the top notes notes are really pleasent floral and lil bit of candy scent but still the floral notes are dominates this fragrance..i like the 1st 20 minutes and then suddenly it turns to completely floral scent , and it become a COMMON floral scent which is lack of personality..the sweet notes are gone after 20minutes..for britney i still prefer curious as a favourite floral scent..this one is nice but not for gourmand lover like me..

I actually really enjoy Britney's Fantasy line. It has four different scents and not one is the same. I feel like Circus Fantasy is more of the candy-like scent in the group (with Fantasy smelling like desserts, Hidden like spicy cakes and has more of a Christmas era, Midnight smelling like blueberries etc.)

Circus Fantasy is also a bit floral after the top note dies down. It's really light and on my skin it doesn't last more than 5 hours and then I have to reapply. So, basically less than a work day.

I love how sweet the top notes smell. When I spray it on it reminds me of candy and raspberries. It's a perfect blend. The blue and crystal in crested bottle looks perfect. It's fun and light just like a circus.

I would recommend wearing this during the day out on the town or going to a amusement park. It's fun, but I wouldn't wear this on a date or at night.

A predominantly candy scent but with a stronger floral presence than Britney fantasy and midnight fantasy...

0-30 mins - Very similar to Britney Fantasy but more floral, however main smell is candy...it is a little bit more grown up in that way and offers a dual experience

30 mins- 2 hours - Linear mainly candy smell, very refrehsing, so similar to the Midnight Fantasy/Fantasy. Projection good

2 hours - 7 hours - Projects a little bit and develops a little bit of smokeyness like midnight fantasy

Very good. I prefer Fantasy and Midnight Fantasy for their better projection and scent, but this Circus is still very good and so affordable

if I don't like a perfume and I say why..or a range of perfumes for that matter..I don't understand HOW I'm offending those who do like it...we are entitled to our own opinions whether the others like it or not...BTW, I do like Circus Fantasy...

@TWebb...this is just YOUR oppinion...if you don't like celeb fragrances that doesn't give you the reason to insult them and tell that there's nothing interesting in 'em but boring sweetness. I do like them and so does my mom. She likes Radiance from Britney Spears but she also likes Jean Paul Gaultier Clasique or Beauty by Calvin Klein. So don't leave unpolite reviews just because you don't like 'em, ok? Thank you...

I don't wear this but my teen daughter does. Overly sweet. I make it a habit NOT to buy fragrances from the celebrity du jour (e.g. Paris Hilton, etc.) trying to make a buck. Most fragrances of this genre are mediocre with little redeeming qualities.

i love it! smells yummy it caida reminds me of a int of abercrombie and fitch 8 for women but much softer and a little aquatic note smells. u will get compliments!

i just cant stop smelling it at mi wrist! try it on your skin not on a paper if you like soft sexy rich smells you will like this one!

I bought this yesterday and I love it! I love all the Britany Spears Fantasy perfumes. I can't detect a single note, but the way they all mingle together is fantastic.

i got my CIRCUS FANTASY today i had to try it right away with the reviews i saw on this one? well... not sure about this one pretty different from Britney other fragrance. This one is more mature one i guess.. i can smell right the floral side of this fragrance on my it's FLORAL FLORAL FLORAL :) kind of like it..NOT LOVE but i will have to give more try to make sure :) no vanilla sweet scent at all on me :)
it's a fresh floral scent
it's OK! i like it but i will probably not buy another bottle since i figure this one will last.. a long long time :)
the staying paower tho!! IS AWESOME
I LOVE WHEN FRAGRANCE STAYS LONG LOG TIME :) unless what the heck to wear fragrances if they don't smell :)
i think Brit do pretty good job with her frangrance OH! and i love the bottle very cute

I found it to be slightly dish-soapy on me... :(

Este perfume huele geniiiiial, simplemente eso, sí a ti te gusta AMOR AMOR de Cacharel, este perfume te va a gustar, porque son súper parecidos pero a mi punto de vista este huele un tanto más suave y delicado.
¡Genial perfume de frutos rojos! I love it!

I purchased this on clearance at the retail store I worked at; to make new fragrances in our department. I was very surprised. I really love it! The bottling is cute as well.

SO CHEAP ! headache , i mean it can be sweet but why so cheap ??

actually, it was quite a pleasant surprise! This scent is so fresh and sweet at the same time.. very youthful..

I actually really like circus fantasy. It's the one that I can wear everyday. The original fantasy is so sweet and strong that I really have to be in the mood for it. But this one I may just have to purchase a bigger size! It's a bit more floral and 'watery' smelling (in a good way) than the original but still retains a fraction of the sweetness of 'Fantasy'. Very well done and quite unique in my opinion. All of the 'Fantasy' range have excellent lasting power and this one lives up to the others in that department for me, although it is that little bit more subtle to start with it still stays with you but in not such a loud way! Love it, pleasantly surprised :0) Love the bottle too, pale blue with red stones, tacky but I love it!

One of my favorites of Fantasy fragrances cuz it's more soft and subtle than the other ones. I like to use it on winter days and it lasts all day long. The citrusy notes blends very well with the gourmand notes, and it makes this one fresh and sweet. It reminds me a little bit of watermellon on the beginning, and then, it becomes like a cake, very delicious. At a point, this one becomes very similar to "Amor Amor" by Cacharel.

I like this, though not as much as the other Brit frags, just because it doesn't last as long as the others. Great casual scent; I work in a hospital so this doesn't offend. I just wish it lasted longer.

My favorite of the Fantasy line! I find this more wearable, more casual and less heavy/sickly sweet than the other fantastys.

they can fake the scent,but they can't fake the bottle!

By far the best Brittney Spears perfume.

This perfume is very refreshing specially in the spring and summer days. Although it can be used all year round because the citrus notes make it versatile. This is great for a Dr.'s appointment, running to the store for groceries or on vacation laying on the beach. The reason I like this so much is that other perfumes that I own with citrus notes are not sweet enough for me so I end up disappointed. With this I get the best of both worlds the sweet notes and the citrus notes so appropriate for summer. I sprayed 2 times on each side of the neck on a hot day and the fragrance did not fade at all. I kept getting swifts of it. This perfume has many positive things, it satisfies my sweet tooth, it smells delicious, young and fresh and it has really good staying power and it also is inexpensive. This doesn't scream teen perfume at all. My favorite summer citrus scent in my collection.

This Perfume is so Delicious!! I love wearing it!!

I read some of the comments below, maybe it's an age thing or it really is personal preference but I find alot of celebrity perfumes, they're designed to be accessible to the general public, so they're affordable.
In the perfume world, being affordable means not that great...most of the time.

This perfume..isn't that great.

It has a caramel candy smell and something else trying to cut-through it, it's probably the citrus. It's cheap smelling teenager slurpie syrup and the bottle looks cheap or "cute" to be polite. I love Britney Spears but I really doubt she wears her own sh*t.

I drenched myself in this scent for six weeks. It was intoxicating and I was deeply in love. However, during those six weeks I started a teaching job and became a student in a writing seminar. I now associate the sweet reek of Circus Fantasy with peanuts, raspberry, impatience, apricots, the acrid smell of fear, performance anxiety, and citrus.
I wanted to gift this to my mother but have decided against it since she will wear it joyfully and I will have to keep away from her.

When I first tried this I didn't like it at all and put it up for swap.Well....I tested it a few more times and have become addicted to it.It seemed kinda sharp on me the first time I tried it but I realized it was just the tartness of the fruit notes coming through.I only get a small whiff of raspberry as the apricot note dominates all the way from start until near the end when it becomes a sweet,powdery smell:definitely getting the violet candy in this.I get all the floral notes throughout but apricot still outshines them all.It does seem more of a fruity gourmand to me than fruity floral as someone else said.I absolutely love it and my only complaint is I wished it lasted longer!

I have it and if I like, though it seems a little Nina L'elixir, but Circus Fantasy is softer than Nina L'elixir

HORRIBLE!!!! Too sickly sweet... made me sort of headache-y ill. Too candy shop for my liking.

I love this scent. I bought a 30ml for just £8 and it is gorgeous! It goes well with my chemistry and I get compliments. Not my fave out of the Britney range, but is my everyday perfume!

This is the only britney fragrance I dont really care for and I own all of them, It was a toss up between hidden fantaty and circus fantasy and circus lost I dont really like it at all I wanted to but just cant... smells a little like soapy candy to me I ended up giving it to my sister because she liked it... sorry britney... :(

I bought this today at 75% off for my daughter. I like all of Britney's perfumes (please don't take that as an endorsement of her as a person) but I wasn't wowed with this one in stores. However, the low price got me. I must say off the top, I don't like the name or the image it presents. My only circus fantasy is to stay as far away from them as possible. The scent itself is nice, light, fruity, and clean mixed with sweet at the same time. It will be very nice for summer.

i like this parfume,it stays for a long time,i wanna try the midnight fantasy now.the bottles are amazing by the way !

I was so surprised when I finally sprayed this on my skin. Never liked it on a paper strip so never wanted to try it on my skin. But they were doing a big special on it in one of the stores so that stirred my cusiousity to try it again.

I think this will be a very good summer fragrance. It is refreshing, sparkling, clean and juicy. I get it more as fruity rather than floral. And I don't get any raspberries. On me, it is like a mixture of juicy melon and pear with some vanilla. It has an almost aquatic feel to it (which I like). And it stays pleasant throughout (which is also a plus).

At first, I wasn't thrilled about the scent but after trying it a few times and buying a small bottle, I liked it. It's a fruity, fresh, spring scent with a powdery dry down and it isn't overly sweet like the original Fantasy. Circus has a yummy raspberry, apricot, ice tea like scent.

Circus fantasy is my favourite Britney Spears perfume although I am not a big fan of Britney. It smells really nice and fresh but didn't smell very feminine on me. It is quite strong for me even if it's only 1-2 spritz. The staying power was excellent and I really liked it. Nothing really stood out at me as a HG perfume though...still searching!

i definitely get the rasberry and candy. its a little off-putting with the musk. an odd combination of notes. luckily it smells a lot better when it dries completely i have to be in the right mood to wear this. i love the bottle, its very cute, but i expected a little more from this. i think i was expecting something a little sweeter, but i dont agree that it smells like lysol, hairspray, dish soap or even that it smells bad, its just different and sometimes i do like different. its an ok perfume, not bad not real good, somewhere in the middle.

I came across this on clearance today for $15 (1oz bottle) and decided to give it a try. It's was totally worth it! Creamy, silky raspberry with a alight shot of apricot. Love it!

Holy Weirdness, Batman! :(

lol :) I so wanted to love this one! I have actually tried it on and off over the last year or so. And my brain tells me according to the notes it should smell a certain way. Light & Sweet. But it isn't what it seems.

I don't know if it's cloying? It is just off. Maybe just with my chemistry? Maybe certain notes are sweet and wonderful... but just don't go together. (like pickles and ice cream lol). Raspberry, lotus, violet candy, vanilla, and Musk?? Maybe if they left out the violet candy, and lotus? Maybe the musk? I just can't figure this one out.

But it almost smells nice. Until it settles in. It is funky, weird, and confusing. It is just weird from top to bottom. Like candy that has gone stale or gone bad. The flowers don't help this one. The notes don't mix well together.

Instead of being joyful and light, it is icky and "off". I guess it is like a circus... or maybe more like a fun-house mirror. Because it seems one way... then you get in there and it's distorted and weird and you just want to leave. Nausea almost accompanies this. No one I showed this to liked this but maybe one or two. I had to check to see if it was just me?

Like I said... maybe my chemistry? At least it isn't sickening, gag-inducing, cotton candy nightmare (sorry) like original fantasy. I can not do that one. I do love Midnight Fantasy, though! :)

I am so sorry I couldn't like this one. I had high hopes it sounds by the advertisement that it was fun and light-hearted.

After I sprayed it any time I tried it...with a short time I had to go scrub it off. Like candy gone-bad. :( Circus Fantasy... I so wanted to love you. :( Sorry guys. I guess this is just not my scent. Will have to try more. Perhaps will have to stick with Midnight Fantasy. :) It's cleaner.

I am a big fan of all of Britney Spears fragrances. Circus Fantasy is a fresh, fruity scent that dries down to a soft, almost powdery smell. On initial spray I detect some citrus, raspberry's and some kind of floral that I can't put my finger on. It tends to linger there for a bit before a warm vanillay scent starts to creep up on you. Lasts a good while but I do find myself touching up at least once a day with the mini rollerball for that extra burst of fragrance. Overall, Cirucs Fantasty is quite pleasant and feminine. I work in a small office with lots of people so I try not to overwhelm anyone by wearing something too strong. I've found Circus Fantasy to be "just right" for an office. In fact, all of Britney's perfumes are office appropriate. I wear her fragrances as follows: winter and spring - Fantasy, Summer - Circus Fantasy, and Fall - Curious. I also wear these fragrances on the weekends and after work and most of the fragrances can be used year round.

I intend to keep trying the Britneys' 'til I find one that I almost like. I immediately smelled coconut in this for some reason, Coconut Ice (a sweet we have here, probably in other countries too!) mixed with Glade berry air freshener. Not pleasant.

Lemony-sour sweet fruits that fade giving way to a creamy blend of delicate flowers and the peony is very present, then, it turns soapy chic. Delicious surprise, well done perfume. A cheerful, unrefined but delicate scent that evolves... a beauty.

Yes, Britney has some great girlish fragrances. But this one ain't really what I call delicious. It appears to me this one is kinda cheap.

Girls go for Curious or Fantasy. Damn better.

This is a very fresh, fun fragrance. Something about it is somewhat soapy, but I like it because it works hand in hand with the fruity, sweet, and floral notes. It is my favorite Fantasy perfume after Fantasy.

this one is different from the other fantasies. the others are sweet fruity or sweet floral or just extra sweet but ths fantasy is soapy light sweet. its ike berries with soap and sweet. i looove it its my fav fatasy perfume .

Smell good on my friend but britney, why you give your perfume such a funny name? circus fantasy?

My absolute favorite Britney fragrance by far (and they are all wonderful)! I get many compliments when I wear. It smells almost like a fruity gourmand fragrance not a floral fruity?

I like it and very much! smells fantastic! Bottle should be more funny.

Circus is definitely a summertime fragrance. The staying power isn't bad for the price (going on three hours for me right now), and the silage is average. It's definitely not a classy or mature scent, but rather a fun, goofing-around-with-your-friends scent. It's too unprofessional to wear to work, but it would be alright to wear during the weekend. It's not Britney's best scent, but it's a reasonably decent addition to the Fantasy line.

my sister bought my this fragrance for my birthday ... it a fragrance that is no where as fruity as the other fantasy fragrances.. a little more cleaner and if you like the scent of like icy-silver cool scents you will like this.. i can't really smell the sweet notes that well. its more like fresh lemonade ice-block ... you want to suck on!

Finally yesterday I bought this fragrance,I'm very satisfied.
I can smell fresh and girlish raspberry with light floral notes and hints of sweet vanilla.
I think I found my favorite version of Fantasy.

I think this smells very sweet, but i wouldnt buy it, as im not really keen on the "circus fantasy" name, and the lasting power isnt really that good. x

When I smelled this I got lemon and raspberry, both of which I like cause they're FRESH, but the colors of the bottle aren't very nice. They kind of hurt my eyes, sorry Brit.

I like circus. I have regular fantasy and this one. I find that the regular fantasy in the pink bottle is very sweet, very gourmand. This one is not as heavy.. lighter scent.. still sweet but not overly sweet and powerful. I find the staying power is good on this one too. I want to try the other fantasy she has once I find it cause I really like this line a lot

I find the reviews that compare it to D&G and saying its her "little sister," are indeed correct. I love this fragrance. The charm of it is that it is so fun and does not take itself to seriously. The bottle is adorable and adds to its overall feel of playfulness.
The fragrance is crisp and clean at first...yes-there is a citrus, and very subtle soapiness to it...similar to that initial bite to d&g...but then it morphs into something a lot softer and creamier...much prettier and less loud, harsh, and angular than Light Blue. Pretty. And the dry down is soooo good. I creamy musk with a far, far, distant reference to something circus-animal like. I mean this in the best possible way. This fragrance is so cool in my book. Love for spring/summer.

It took me a while to actually like this perfume...I am very partial to Fantasy & Hidden Fantasy which to me smell somewhat similar. This one however smells nothing like its sisters. It is much sweeter and more sugary-syrupy and lighter if that makes any sense. It has a very unique sweet smell that I have grown to really love. I do enjoy all of Britney's perfumes and look forward to the next Fantasy scent.

tam tam ta ra ra ra raaa ram tam tra rara ra raaa... I am sure you remember, kids, the old circus music... let the clovns, seals, monkies and snakes out: they have their own scent, thanks to Miss Spears...Oh, I forgot: cheap sinthetic candies free of charge !

it does smells like iced lemon tea! i was wondering about it because i'ved smelled something similiar to it and then it just get into my head lipton iced lemon tea. so refreshing!

Let us answer the age-old existential question that has been plaguing mankind..what does a circus fantasy smell like? The answer is..lemony raspberry sweet violets! it's actually rather interesting and the least sweet of the fantasies, almost has an iced tea accord in it. The violets and peony give it a slight powdery quality in the drydown- much better than it had to be! Wears close to the skin on me with good longevity.

This fragrance is very nice although I can not smell raspberry in the slightest. It's more of a sour cranberry, fresh citrus, maybe tangerine or lemon with a hint of vanilla and blue floral notes. There's not a lot else to it. It's a citrusy, zesty, fresh, fun fragrance which is really not the kind of scent I was expecting. There is a distinct bitterness which is addictive to me. the perfume barely matches the description but still, I cant get enough! As a brief conclusion I would describe it as a playful citrus and I give it a thumbs up.

@Perfume-Princess, Fantastic review, you hit the nail right on the head. Britney does do the best perfumes! This one is great as a summer Fantasy as it does have that gorgeous sugary yumminess to it, but at the same time is perfect for Spring or summertime as it is also light and refreshing. I also smell lemon mixed in with the apricot and raspberry opening. Strange lemon is not a note listed in the fragrance. Love all the Fantasys I think they are Brits best!

I can't believe this one is getting mixed reviews!
Its just a beautiful scent. Perfect for spring/summer.
Circus Fantasy is much lighter than its three sisters.
Fantasy
Midnight Fantasy and
Hidden Fantasy.
But thats not a bad thing at all the other three I feel are just more suited to winter/fall.

I LOVE how the Raspberry comes out at first spray.
Its a lovely sweet/sugary scent. It also has I think a slight lemoney note to it although it is not stated.
I own all of Britney's Perfumes, and I can honestly say that I don't have a favourite one as they are all great in their own way.
There seems to be one no matter what mood I am in which is fab.
In My opinion she has the best Celebrity Perfume Collection ever.
I hope another edition to the family will come along soon.
I for one can't wait 2 see what she brings us in 2011.

I hope there will be a new Edetion to the Fantasy family soon! Do you all think the next Britney sent will be a Radiance Flanker or a new Fantasy?

I think there is alot they can do with the Fantasy line "Sexy Fantasy" "Striped Fantasy" "Seceret Fantasy" "Fairy Fantasy" "Valentine Fantasy" "Sweet Fantasy" "Toxic Fantasy" "Early Morning Fantasy" "Lucky Fantasy" "Outragous Fantasy" "Curious Fantasy"(I really love this one I thought up,it would be Britney's Curious with a candy/sweet twist! Love the name too!)

Yes, I like this, but it had to grow on me. It smells nothing like the other Fantasy perfumes. To me, this is more in line with JLO's GLOW and My GLOW and there was another perfume that this reminded me of but I can not remember what it is now.

I don't get why this is getting so much hate! I guess it's just peoples opinions but I love it :). I love most of Britney's perfumes, this ones one of my favourites. I also own Fantasy and Hidden Fantasy and love them both but this one's so much different. To me it kind of has a more cirtusy smell? I don't think it smells like soap either, and it lasted awhile on me.
Oh and I love the bottle :)

Loves it! maybe cause it is my first britney spears perfume, I dunno. It also reminds me of warmer weather--very sweet, and a little soapy, but i like the soapy smell, Its clean <3

Upon first spray, this smells like some sort of household cleaner to me. As it dries down (and quickly disappears!) it starts to smells slightly more flowery.

It's pretty gross. Sorry Britney.

CIRCUS FANTASY is a soapy candy on me. The ingredients seem to be lovely but I can’t really see them showcasing their beauty in this creation. First I feel like I was dropped in a sweet candy making machine. Then the fragrance turns soapy and dull. Orchids, peony and lotus are beautiful florals and I love them in many other perfumes. But they just smell like soapy candy here. Not refined, not elegant and not beautiful. The base notes are again soapy and unremarkable. The musky scent tries to come through and save the fragrance but it is overpowered by the cheap soap accent that pretty much lasts throughout the existence of this fragrance on my skin.

I do not mind candy like sweet fragrances and I do like some soapy scents but this combination of candy soap just does not fly. I love Britney but I have to give an honest opinion about this fragrance. I would not recommend it.

At first sight, I told my friend "Oh, another Fantasy from Britney?!" okay, let give it a try. And the result is : boring celebrity scent. I dont know why celebrity keep making sweet fruity candy smells. Please...!! I hate it. This is a example of a bad sweet scent, actually I hate it because it too sweet. There is no art of perfume, no mystery of notes trail, so damn boring.
The first smell burst to my nose is the extremely sweet notes : the raspberry. Then I got very sweet vanilla and bit floral. But most of the time, the raspberry keep their sweetness and make me really hate it. It will never ever make it way to my collection, never!!

Gave this one to my sister, not my kind of scent. Bought this because i love Fantasy and Hidden Fantasy but this one is completely different to me. It reminded me of incense or soap.

I always thought this was a fun, bright, fruity fragrance... The thing that kept me from it was the price... I kept seeing 1oz. bottles for 29.99...YEA RIGHT!!! I finally stumbled upon a giftset w/ the 1oz. bottle and a 3.3oz lotion for 19.99... This was much more acceptable 2 my wallet lol. Its very tart at first but after 10 minutes or so it starts 2 soften and become less arificial smelling... This is definitely a light-hearted fun fragrance so use it when u may be feeling blue, it will lift ur spirits right up or atleast u'll smell good lol...

Unfortunately just another boring fruit-candy-mash. I´m pretty disappointed, expected something new from Britney. But there isn´t a big difference to her old fragrances. I´ve ordered it blind, it´s not my cup of tea so I´ll sell it on ebay soon.
Smells a little bit artificial and just boring. :-(

An idiot coworker of mine who wears tiny jersey skirts, UGGs, and a wig to work every day (to Freebirds, a burrito restaurant)leaves a pervasive trail of this everywhere as she natters on about how her life was so much more exciting when she lived in New York. It is appropriate that she wears something that smells like blue raspberry sugar-free gum, writ large.

This is my first Britney perfume, and I bought it without testing as it was such a reasonable price and the description sounded very appealing. I did expect to be let down with my purchase, but I was surprised with how delicate and soft the fragrance is. On my skin the vanilla stands out, and gives the scent a floral musky feel. Only downside for me is that it has little lasting power,but I'm keen now to try other Britney scents

this does smell like sopa a bit, but thats the orchid for ya! if you don`t like soapy or dusty scents don`t go for this perfume. This has the vanilla and candy that i love so very much. i honestly think that this is a really good combo of florals fruits and vanilla. Reminds me a bit of 5th ave style also made by Elizabeth Arden, or jessica simpson fancy love. I think its the peony. Im a sucker for orchid and peony so i knew i would love love love this to death. plus i love Britney to death too :) lol who dosen`t

I had to test this several times because I just could not decide if I liked it. I am glad I got it because it smells very tangy and tart but softens to a clean soapy, airy fruity smell. I don't like fantasy because it is too much like lollies and midnight fantasy becomes very soapy. This one is a lovely middle of the road. I also like the hidden fantasy but I know some people don't like the orange in that.

this on does not smell good on my skin...:( almost like soap..yucks..but love the opening..but getting sick because the it change to soapy smell so fast..not for me :(

edit: try this again at perfume shop. guest what?? this time it turning nice to my skin. still soapy, but fresh & bright..and oh this time i can smell sweet note in it..nice!! i'm going to purchase this again.

wooow!!! I love this fragrance. is my favourite among all the other!!

for all Britney's Fans: add me on facebook =)

I try it in a store.
It´s so freshy, clean but femenine ...i lu that kind of scents..i smell in the end sugar-caramel but soft..next month i`ll buy it.

:)

Outch! I usually enjoy Brit's Fantasy collection, but this is... dishwashing soap. I don't know how to describe it other than soap. It's the only word that comes to my mind.

for me...its a fresh powder scent.....

i have this perfume and i LOVEEE IT!!
Circus Fantasy differs than the other Fantasies, because it's less sweet than the others. this fragrance rather flowery and it's going to more and more sweeter. Very lovely, fresh and youthful fragrance. The bottle is very cute, and the box is nice as well. I can recommend it!! I have a 50 ml bottle.. :)
IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!(L)(L)

unfortunately it's not long-lastig, it last about 3 hours..:S

I have the original Fantasy and Believe from Britney's line, and enjoy them both. My attention was caught by Circus Fantasy when I heard that it has similarities to the original, but is all-around a lighter, slightly more tart fragrance. First of all, I don't entirely like the bottle's cheap design (never have), but the colors make it quite cute, actually! I sprayed it on and was surprised to find that it was not only fruity, but a clean sort of fruity. A little soapy, but very vibrant, the rasberry and apricot being most prominent. As time goes on, it gets a little more tart. Reminds me of sour candy... the tart fruits keep it from being too sugary. I see from the reviews here that a lot of people don't like this about CF, but I'm enjoying it!

I really don't like this one I sold my bottle.The smell is almost transparent nothing special and it doesn't last.They could have did without this and hidden fantasy really.None of these can top the original.

This bottle is sooo cute!!! I really like the notes: the raspberry gives a girly scent...the apricot gives a creamy scent and the candies gives the perfume a mysterious touch (the signature of Britney) ...and i want to buy it as soon as i can, soooo...(i'm a HUGE fan of Britney Spears.....I love you Britney!!!! =^.^= )

An another fresh,sweet,girly and seductive perfume by Britney Spears. This one is very different from midnight,hidden and original fantasy. (those are very intense sweet floral-fruity and delicious).Circus fantasy is soft-light scent and very easy to wear!

From a guys point of view, It's very sweet. Berries covered in flowers. The sugary sweetness is everywhere; making me wonder if musk is drown in this syrupy scent because I can't really smell it. This Circus Fantasy is the lightest as I have heard but it's still plentily sweet. Perhaps I should check out Midnight Fantasy because it sounds richer and deeper. Overall, Circus scent lacks a certain level of sophistication, so wear it for the fun only.

just bought this last week. 1st spray i don't really like it coz i thought it smell soap on me..then give it another try today & start to like it.

on me smells fresh, i can't detect vanilla.. its kinda sweet, citrus, fruity & soapy..that combination makes this perfume fresh & suit for summer time.

this is definitely different from fantasy & midnight fantasy because it is not as sweet or sugary like the elder sister..cannot compare with hidden fantasy because didn't try that one yet.

rated: 4 out off 5 star..love it!! 1 star missing because of the staying power on my skin..max 3 hours on me..:)

I LOVE this scent! It's very sweet and vanilla and light on me, with my chemistry its more of a fruity vanilla rather than floral.

I wear this allllllll the time its perfect! I just wish the lotion was available to buy on its own : (((( I want the lotion soooo bad!

Love love love!

I can smell something very citrusy in Circus Fantasy. For me it's not very sweet. It has this sourness among the sweet vanilla and candys that I love. I can also smell a bit of soap in this fragrance but it's not a cheap soap that you can buy in every supermarket. It's like an expensive hand-made soap that you can even wash your hair with.
I love to spray Circus Fantasy in my hair. So when I shake them I can smell the scent all around me and I adore it.
I'd say it's one of the best Britney's perfumes. Definately the best Fantasy (although circus is not my fantasy).

I was looking for a perfect summer scent today and I found it in Circus Fantasy! Its amazingly delicious! Its sweet and refreshing, fruity and tasty. I love it and think its something completely different from Miss Spears. Its like juicy & tart raspberry lemonade. Its summer perfection in a bottle. If you're looking for a perfect summer scent, do give Circus Fantasy a try. : )

me recuerda a un jugo de frutas de verano muy dulce, realmente me enamore de este aroma, lo recomendaría mas para primavera- verano, es delicioso y el frasco y caja es muy alegre, buen perfume :)

unfortunatley my least favorite out of all the Britney Spears line. It smell really good, just not what i excepted

i just bought this & what more can i say? i love it! :)

This is much fruitier -and in my opinion better- than Fantasy or Midnight Fantasy, it's much less sweet and less cake-like. If I were to choose between them, I'd take this one. Circus Fantasy is a tad lighter and more sparkly than the others.

Fantasy Circus for me is like a light midnight fantasy version, with the difference that Circus works Rasperry instead of Plum, and this makes Circus more lighter, for casual wear. Is better than Hidden Fantasy and less overwhelming than the first Fantasy. You can use Circus for evening and Midnight for the night!!


Is a very Girlish Fragrance, the stayin power is good but not excelent! I prefer Midnight Fantasy.

Ive been trying some of Britneys stuff lately and I must say I really think she (or her marketing people) really know how to tap into what girls want as far as scents go. I must say this one was a big question mark for me, I love her ICC, but this opened with a loud, brash unapologetic blast of sweet bubblegum, and I immediately thought SCRUBBER!! However an hour later it has dried down and its a lovely creamy scent, soft vanilla candy musk with just a hint of florals, still sweet but not digustingly so. I wont buy this but I do like the drydown so if I ever got a bottle in a swap I would spray it first an hour before I go near any other living human being (or animal). As for the first hour that over the top sweetness was just icky, and smelt like some cheap plasticky teen smell, and I would never take anyone who's wearing this seriously. But in drydown, mmm yum! It didnt seem to last that long though which is annoying.

guest_Ken - best and most accurate review of this fragrance on the boards, thank-you!! You took the words from my mouth, sweet sour candy fragrance, the sour note intensifies with the heat. I have this and originally though it was rather nice... but in the heat the sour candy note became unbearable, almost citric sour, and I have my bottle now up for swap. Not sure how this one made it into the Fantasy line actually, I wouldn't call this a gourmand like the other 3 and don't love it like I love the other 3. Nice try, but for me this one was a miss :(

To describe Circus Fantasy I'd have to say she's the smallest sister out of the Fantasy family,I'd also have to say it's a carefree, young, fresh,sour,sweet,and hypnotizing fragrance. First, when i apply i get that berry feeling almost like I'm drinking a fuzzy blueberry soda. Then, after the whole sweet fuzzy feeling fades off the florals kick in with the Orchid note and i get a clean soupy shampoo-y aroma. Last, after the soupy notes fade away a sweet treat of vanilla and candy-like notes jump in almost leaving Tootsie Pop Lollipop scent. I really recommend this fragrance if you're into sweat sour candy fragrances.

smells exactly like a big mix of apricot ice-cream and Amor Amor by cacharel. (i.e. nice)

This one had to grow on me, I bought it back in November or December when ever it first came out. The first time I wore it I hated it! I just could not pick what the heck it smelled like? I now ware this for a day time sent, the smell has grown on me, I like it now BUT this sent is soft, I put it on today and had to reapply 3 or 4 times, the lasting power is like 2 hours on me.

I agree that this one is very lemony, but I like it. Its FRESH, so its a great change from the other fantasies when I dont want to smell like something I want to eat. Im excited to wear this in the summer, It just seems like it will brighten my mood!

I love the box, and I love the fragrance even more, I think it is very different to the other Fantasy fragrances, probably more floral than gourmand, and I think the bottle's colours work well together. Well done Britney, another wicked scent!

I like this scent, but I´m a bit dissapointed...It reminds me of Amor Amor (Cacharel).
It´s sweet but fresh, and very easy to wear (I think it´s great for all seasons).
I can smell the vanilla perfectly, the base is the same for all the Britney´s fantasy fragrances.
The box and the bottle are so cute, I like it so much!

I love it! I have all of the Fantasy Perfumes (actually I have all of Britney's perfumes), and this one is great. Its fresh, its pretty, I have no complaints. I'm glad she stuck w/ the same bottle, it adds nicely to the Fantasy collection. I hope she keeps putting out variations of Fantasy, because even though I love all of her perfumes, the Fantasy ones are always my favorite. Circus Fantasy is so unique, I don't even know how to describe it. And it lasts longs too. No complaints here!

Finally tried it and I gotta say, it's not that great. Good staying power, smells very fresh and citrusy (a bit lemony?). Overall, it reminds me of a car freshener. Citrus Fantasy anyone?

Have you ever had a mouth full of really sour candy to the point of over-salivation? That "pucker" feeling is how I feel when I wear Circus Fantasy. The top and middle notes are just sour candy, sour candy, sour candy. And then it dies down in to an almost masculine cologne dry down. This perfume is so odd. CF is fun and flirty, I will give it that much. I did wear this to work out in, and it does help keed spirits up, and boy does it last a long time on me! (fyi, my skin eats perfume up!) I guess I was just expecting more. Nothing can touch the magical original Fantasy for me. And i really really like Hidden Fantasy. I was not a big fan of Midnight Fantasy, or Believe. Curious is a beauty as well. But anyway, I think if CF were to fit any season, it would most definitely be summer. IMO, CF is the "youngest" target age of them all. But anyone that loves it, wear it!

FINALLY i smelled it yesterday & im very surprised that i agree with many comments here,is really the first truly FRUITY-FLORAL of fantasy line,nothing gourmand,very fresh,sweet but not like cake or the others fantasies,i think it is nice but not than impressive like the others from the line,i want it anyway perfect for day wear,the bottle is really cute.;)

UPDATE 29/04/10:
i got one bottle today i totally love it is perfect,i cant get enough!

Got fantasy.hidden.curious.want this one.love sweet fruity vanilla scent.always got special note that no frag got.love it.

I am surprised that I really liked this one.It is just right not too sweet like the others.I also really like the whole concept the box the bottle so adorable.I really want this.

Candy sweet but in a different way than original Fantasy. Vanilla is not that prominent in Fantasy Circus which makes it fresher and not as cloying as original version. Tacky ad and teen-like scent, but I kinda find it quite enjoyable!

By the way, do they not have any imagination at all to create a new bottle? Pink, blue, red, blue...what colour is next? It is getting confusing. Yes, I do not like the bottle although I care more about the smell, but it would be nice to see some variation.

I tried this perfume on today. It opens up very fresh and citrusy and it smells alot like orange soda that has been left out in the sun. I seem to detect something resembling to mint somewhere amongs the top notes. After a rather confusing opening the core of the scent is just as sickly sweet and saccarine as the rest of the Fantasy scents.

I must say that I actually liked the bottle and the package but the scent disappointed me slightly.

I love all the Britney's fragrances!!!!!!!!!!
Sono un fans Italiano ed uso tutti i suoi profumi, li trovi incredibilmente seducenti, troppo buoni.. circus fantasy è buonissimo.. ora ho un nuovo profumo da usare!!

NOTHING special....:( original fantasy I adore, hidden is quit nice too, circus yes, o.k, but nothing special, like a lot of other perfumes..

I love this. It smells alot like Bijan Black. I love both of the perfumes. The lasting power is quite good.

The latest fragrances from britney has been such a disspointment :( I dont like this circus, hidden or believe.

I was very impressed with Circus Fantasy; Hidden wasn't as great as I expected, so Circus defo made up for it.
When u take the first whiff, it just smells so refreshing but still keeps that fruity sensation. Defo lighter and less sweeter than the pink and purple bottles, but still has that creamy undertone from the vanilla and has lasted 2 days on the scent card!

Hmm.. Elisabeth Arden sure creates great stuff for miss Spears, but this one is rather disappointment. Why? It's lasting power is really bad. Everything else is nice about it.
It smells very light and freshy- subtly sweet floral notes, raspberry developing into sweet chocolate candy like smell. I really enjoyed raspberry notes in this fragrance- they are perfect- sour sweet heaven for my nose, but unfortunately doesn't last long time on my skin and goes into sweet note phase quite fast.
What can I say, give me it and I'll wear it, because it's yummy.

LOVE this scent!! Fruity, tiny floral..but very sweet!! Not too sugary..but a fresh sweet scent..you know..it smells just like SWEET TARTS candy!! Yummy!! LOVE IT..and it does last on me somewhat..for over 4 hours. :)

Apricots,apricots, apricots! :D This is another one of the Fantasy-scents, which I like. So far, the only one I haven't liked at all is Hidden Fantasy.CF smells very fresh, clean, light and fruity, reminds me slightly of DKNY's Fresh Blossom, which also has these pretty dominant apricot notes. Anyhow, I think CF is great, more for spring and summer, tho I think it's also very wearable in other seasons as well. Something I definitely plan on getting. :) The bottle, I think the color combo looks better in pics than irl, but it's neverthelessly ok.

For me this really smells like a citrus Amour amour. there is a certain note in this that dominates the mentioned perfume that is found in this one on my skin. It is pleasant but I am not a Amour amour fan. I like the packaging though, all her perfumes have great boxes.

Well, what can I say, I'm a diehard Britney fan, however when it comes to her fragrances I've always tested them without a biased opinion.

Circus Fantasy is great. I was quite disappointed by Hidden Fantasy, yet this fragrance has made up for it.

Seeming that we're now going into Summer, this is the perfect season to start wearing Circus Fantasy. The scent is quite refreshing and clean, but still has that signature sweetness that all of Britney's fragrances possess.

Circus Fantasy opens with soft raspberry and apricot, which resembles more the scent of fruit flavoured icecream rather than the actual fruit. Eventually the vanilla appears making me love this fragrance even more. When all blended together, the notes smell rather sweet and dessert-like, a little like the original Fantasy but certainly not as strong. The overall scent is rather musky but beautiful.

I rather like that this fragrance is soft and that it stays close to the skin. It is a nice change from Britney's previous scents. The lasting strength was quite good I found, it's lasting well over five hours on my skin. I'm almost certain I'll be adding this fragrance on to my Christmas wishlist.

This has got to be my 2nd favourite fantasy out of the bunch (midnight being the first). And is strangely unisex, I dont know why but this to me is very similar to the CKONE flankers that come out every summer which I love.

This to me opens with a really juicy raspberry note and immediately goes into a lovely vanilla musky note that fades nicely into an ambery musk dry down.

The only downside to this and I have found this with hidden and circus that the silage is pretty awful. It lasts at the most an hour, for an eau de parfum the strength is poor.

Other than that I really do love this fragrance, it's definately different to all the other fantasies which in my opinion is great, I never did like the sweet cakey notes used in Hidden and the original scent.

Why is Britney still making all these "Fantasy" fragrances? This one is really useless. My fave one being Midnight Fantasy (but I love the other ones too, Fantasy and Hidden Fantasy) this Circus Fantasy truly smells like soap. AND doesn't last long.

I finally got my bottle in! I have to say I really really love it! It's definitely Britneys 1st real fruity floral. It has no cake or sugar like her previous Fantasys. It's very refreshing and fun! It's like the little sister of D&G's Light Blue. I just luv it! And the bottle is a stunner! It's a WONDERFUL scent! BritBrit ure the best!

It's a nice fragrance, just didn't smell good on me. Another downside is that it does not last....at all!

I'm in the UK too, but sampled some from a friend who bought a bottle on holiday.

I'm sure CIRCUS will be released over here too, seeing as all of her other fragrances have been. I'd imagine they're finishing up the various promotions for HIDDEN first.

Mimi! it's being released on October 12th in the UK my friend is a rep for EA and she said its being launched on that Monday.

I Had this perfume ordered especially for me via a friend from the US (She ordered it via the EA Website)I am from New Zealand and couldn't wait for it to be released over here so decided to get her to order it for me!I have all of Britney's other perfumes and I ADORE them all!BUT this one was a total dissapointment!Smells quite soapy and does not last long!I was more excited with the extra goodies that I received from EA!(Zebra Print Bag,mineral foundation,'Pretty' Fragrance!...and extra samples!)

If you test CIRCUS FANTASY hoping for a variation on the original Fantasy you’ll be disappointed; CIRCUS FANTASY is all about the natural sweetness found in the notes, rather than cakey, syrupy notes. (Reviewers on other sites have speculated that the juice was developed as a new Britney scent, but the marketing team just tacked on the Fantasy label at the last minute. I think this is very likely what happened, seeing this is totally different to the other perfumes in the line)

CIRCUS FANTASY opens with a fresh, slightly tart burst of raspberry and apricot. Even though it applies with a sharper edge then any of her other perfumes, there is still a slight sweetness to it...
It’s the middle notes of soft and subtle floral prevent CIRCUS FANTASY from becoming just another ‘sweet shop’ fragrance (that have been cropping up with alarming frequency). The middle notes lend a ‘grown up’ feel, that calms down the sweetness and prevents the fruity notes from completely taking over the fragrance, preventing this from being too similar to Midnight Fantasy.
The vanilla base gives comforting warmth, providing a nice contrast to the freshness to the opening. I also love violet, and I’ve never tried a perfume that has it in the base; it seems to make it richer. The notes available on various sites say the violet is ‘candied’, but I never got the sugar rush I was expecting. Any additional candy notes are lost inside the vanilla and the creamy tone to the musk.

The lasting power of CIRCUS FANTASY is good (although close to the skin), the price is reasonable and the now-famous crystal adorned Fantasy bottle returns. This time it’s the same shade of blue as the Curious bottle and the crystals are pink.

Ok I have had this on all day now...I got to say this is the worst Fantasy! the opening is not that good and by the end of the night I smelled like dishsoap with some weird hairspray smell? something like that. I love all of Britneys perfumes I mean look at my board name. I'm sorry but this is the last Britney perfume I would grab to ware in my collection, I will try it again to be fair but as it is now this is my least fav of all 8 Britney perfumes. We need a NEW perfume Britney! Please no more Fantasy Flankers! Ps. I ordered the new Forever by Mariah today from EA.com I really hope it's better than Circus Fantasy! Sorry Brit this is the ONLY perfume of yours I dont care for much. :(

Hey APJ Hidden is the best!! I tried Circus 2day at Macys and I liked it! Far different from the original Fantasy and the others. It does have a bitter/sourness to it but i really like it! Its not overly sweet or as sweet as the other 3. Its nice and i cant wait to get my bottle!

JonR, PLEASE go to Macy's today and test out Forever! I can't wait for you to smell it! Forever kinda reminds me of the first Marc Jacobs!

That being said, this fragrance just might be the worst Fantasy. It kinda smells like a rasberry gone bad, or some nasty medicine. Not only that, the lasting power is very weak. It should've been a sign to me when the scent kept disappearing on the scent card I sprayed it on. I was at Macy's for like 45 minutes and I had to KEEP spraying it on the card. This barely lasted 30 minutes on me.

Its getting mixed reviews here! Mine still hasnt came in yet! Im hoping to head over to Macys 2day! Hidden happens to b my favorite so heres hoping Circus is better!! The notes sound so promising and fun!!

I just smelled this one today from my new Cosmopolitan magazine. I wasn't surprised to not like it. It's nothing special; the scent itself doesn't stand out in anyway. In my opinion and in my taste it is way too mellow. I don't like the bottle either. It is in my opinion pretty ugly and plain. At least the original Fantasy fragrance had a nice pretty pink bottle to look at, but this combination of blue and red isn't pretty. I was never a hug fan of Britney's fragrances but I do like Midnight Fantasy (I think the bottle is pretty too) so I decided to test all of them out and see if I might like any of the others. Iam going to test Curious out once again because I started liking the very sweet floral fragrances lately. I remember smelling Curious when I was younger and thought it was way too sweet and now I find I like the sweet ones. I think it's the Jasmine that does it for me.

I am dissapointed. I love many of Britneys perfumes, and was so excited to get this in the mail. But I was very dissapointed. You can't smell the strawberry or the vanilla of sweet notes. I will be returning it. It smells like a mess of scents, but nothing pretty at all. It doesn't start off nice, or taper down nice at all. It is just ok. I tried it in the morning and noon and evening, to give it a chance, I tried it on my daughters. I am not happy with it. If it had stronger vanilla, strawberry, or some of the other notes, I think I could have lived with it. But to me, it is not as good as her other perfumes.

omg i smelled this at Kohls it smells so good..especially on my skin...its the best fantasy imo...def getting this one!!!

I bought this yesterday at Macy's and I'll be returning it today. It smelled good on the paper. On the skin, I get a tart hairsprayish sour rasberry or something. Hidden Fantasy is Britney's best Fantasy and most sophisticated, but the Circus packaging and the bottle is the best Britney has done. I'm mad I have to return it :( My two #1's at the moment are Lola Marc Jacobs and Forever Mariah Carey :)

I own Midnight Fantasy and Fantasy so my hopes were high for Circus to be a new addition. This smells really good and is different than the usual Fruity Florals.

It opens with a burst of sour raspberry, then some exotic flowers and finally a musky vanilla base. Overall this fantasy has a tropical quality and is nothing like the others because it isn't foody smelling but it is quite enjoyable.

It's not your typical anything LOL! It is sweet, bright, musky, a bit sour and fun while setting itself apart from the other fantasies. This scent isn't super strong but it carries and has a good staying power but nothing like Midnight or the original.


If you haven't tried it I recommend that you do. ;') I had to visit a couple of different Macy's but Circus Fantasy is available.

I am kinda disappointed in this one, I ordered it blindly without smelling it first... the bottle is the same as the others, just a different color, and the perfumes description sounds awesome, until you smell it. It smells like Lysol :(

so i FINALLY got to try this today!
when you open the box the top inside of the box is britney with her arms open wide like TA DA!!! lol its cute. the bottle is a pearly blue with orangish red rhinetones and an electric blue cap.the bottle and packaging are very fun.
this is such a awesome scent!!!!! i smell fruits and candy i just wanna eat my arm lol i cant stop smelling it!
