Circus Fantasy by Britney Spears

sharyssa

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!

guest_perfumeaddict

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. : )

Lady Love

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 :(

luxusbette

first time I smelled it, I didn't like it at all. I've said to myself I'm never going to buy and wear that stinky perfume.

but just a couple of days ago, I've smelled it again, but this time I LOVED IT. I really thinks it's weird.
well, but now I really like it, and the fancy bottle too

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.

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.

AcePilot

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!

MimilovesBritney

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!

CUPCAKEDOLL

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!

guest_

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!

KellyBellyz

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?

danimcneil

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!

XoXoL.o.V.e

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!

Shyn's Release

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.

LenaBel

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.

MoietToi

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.

Minnija

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

DreamGirl

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

Anahi

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!

Trvevil

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.

guest_girl99

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. :)

jatzzie

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.

guest_da_nose

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.

missk

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.

wakemeupalready

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.

x.Emiiie

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.

jonr951

I finally got my bottle in! I have to say I really really love it!!! Its definately Britneys 1st real fruity floral. It has no cake or sugar like her previous Fantasys. Its very refreshing and fun! Its like the little sister of D&Gs Light Blue. I just luv it! And the bottle is a stunner!! I think I like it a little better done up in red though for Hiddens. Its a WONDERFUL scent!! BritBrit ure the best!!

Malibu

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.

spoiledpretty

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!)

Malibu

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.

Britney_Spears_ Perfumes

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. :(

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.

guest_Kimberly

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.

Argirl

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

APassionateJourney

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 :)

mandashell

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.

Sweetsunlight

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 :(

ILOVEEEPERFUME

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!
