I bought it today (I’ve set myself the goal of getting the whole Britney collection, xD). Although I took the small size because I was very doubtful, I’ve liked it more than expected. You can clearly smell the raspberry and sugar, lots of sugar, and then the floral part, but not overpowering, rather subtle and pleasant (and I’m indifferent to florals). It’s a lovely perfume, perfect for everyday wear on hot days. Its longevity is 6-8 hours, which is more than enough for school hours. The sillage isn’t very wide, but that was to be expected; it’s a perfume to enjoy yourself and those close to you. It’s sweet and fruity but with a strange freshness in this line. I’ve liked it quite a bit. And the price is very good: the 30ml cost me 7.95 euros, when many miniatures have that price or more. Without a doubt, a good purchase.
I would rate this fragrance as fresh. The bottle is beautiful; I love the colour and it matches the scent, which is quite fresh. Overall, it doesn’t have as good a sillage or longevity as the other Fantasies; at first, only the floral with a hint of citrus is noticeable, then it becomes sweet and is only perceived on the skin, although perhaps this has to do with each person’s pH. Still, it’s a very pleasant scent for everyday wear, especially in hot climates, as it has no heavy sillage or dizziness, it’s discreet and gives a sense of cleanliness. The best part is its price, very accessible (I bought it online).
Circus Fantasy is sweet and youthful, true to the style of its line. I smelled it at a counter, which is why I’m sharing my impressions. It has a very fruity opening, where the rich raspberry is noticeable, followed by the flowers: water lily, apricot, peony, and orchid, bathed in sugar with that sweet tint. Then vanilla, musk, and soft woods appear. When it settles on the skin, the raspberry with flowers stands out, jumping from side to side, bathed in vanilla and sugar. Although it’s a floral, fruity, sweet scent, you can feel refreshing breezes. It’s a lovely, fun, feminine, sweet, youthful, and coquettish fragrance, a true all-rounder. Its sillage and longevity are moderate; I’d give it a 7/10.
At first, it smells like a sunny, fresh day between spring and summer. Like a walk by the beach near an amusement park or circus, as its name suggests. It’s playful and it was the first Britney fragrance I bought. I love that it’s sweet and fresh without being cloying. I like gourmands and sweetness, but I hadn’t found anything suitable for the heat. I bought the 30ml version at a perfumerie after smelling it once. Initially, the scent was green, like leaves and sugar, and I didn’t like it much. I’ve worn it daily for three days to see its evolution and I’m very pleased. Now I can definitely detect the notes. At the start, it’s very floral, highlighting the apricot and lily, giving it freshness and even an aquatic note. Then comes the raspberry, followed by sugar, vanilla, and the sweetness blends perfectly. I also notice a soft, chewy violet that I adore. I confess that Circus was the one that interested me the least, but now I’m smitten and I’m looking at Midnight and Hidden Fantasy. The only thing I don’t like is that I stop smelling it, but others still do. I like to feel perfumed. On my skin, it lasts 4 hours with moderate sillage. The bottle is gorgeous like the others. I’d wear it in spring or summer for the day or evening, especially when going out with friends. Scent: 10/10, Longevity: 6/10, Sillage: 10/10. Would I buy it again? Definitely.
I still can’t understand why I dislike this scent so much. The two days I wore it gave me a headache; I smelled plastic and I don’t know why, but I didn’t like it at all. I didn’t perceive any sweetness anywhere 🙁 It’s a pity because I was eager to use it, but I suppose I’m not a fan of sweet perfumes, or perhaps I don’t know yet. It’s a mystery.
It smells like bottled banana sweets, XD. Still, it goes well, it doesn’t become cloying or make people dizzy quickly.
To be honest, the scent sounds a bit common, fruity and sweet, but pleasant and not intrusive. Ideal for everyday wear and for hot weather, though it’s fine to use in winter too. Incredibly, it’s the perfume I’ve received the most compliments on when wearing it. Even though I owned much better perfumes, I think it was because it smells very friendly and is relatively common.
This is my favourite from the Fantasy line. It reminds me of pineapple sweets, even though that essence isn’t mentioned in the description. It’s sweet but not annoying. It brings back memories of a hot summer day. It smells sweet and delicious. I bought it blind, just like Midnight and the Classic, but I couldn’t stand those two: the pink one gave me a headache due to being too sweet, and Midnight was too fruity and sugary. This one smells different, sweet and delicate at the same time. On my skin, it lasts about 4 hours, longer on clothes and hair. Definitely one of my favourites.
Circus Fantasy by Britney is so much fun! I was won over the moment I saw the bottle. It smells delicious and different, putting me in a happy mood. It’s sweet but not as heavy as the others, very rich and optimistic. Notes of apricot, vanilla, peony, and raspberry with a musky touch. It seems to have pink pepper, even though it’s not on the list. I love it! I hunted for almost a year and finally found it, as stores weren’t selling it. They even had gift sets that have since disappeared. It has a caramel mint accord. It lasts 7 hours on my skin with moderate sillage. Ideal for hot days, as it becomes more potent. The bottle is gorgeous, pearlescent blue with red rhinestones. It makes my mouth water and boosts my spirits immensely. Summer, here we come! ☀️
I was absolutely blown away by the projection and longevity. Of all the Fantasies I own, this was my least favourite, but now I truly love it. I’ve worn it all week and have received so many compliments, which is rare for me. It’s sweet but blends beautifully, very different from the original.
At first, this fragrance evokes the scent of freshly cut cane, along with water lily and peony, then I feel an accord like melon and a ghostly raspberry, and finally a sweet mint. I barely perceived the rest of the notes. I really liked the scent, however, the longevity on my skin is terrible and the trail is weak, so I wouldn’t buy it again despite its cheap price. Although it’s sweet, it looks very good in hot weather. The bottle is very cute and the colour suits this scent perfectly. A pity about the longevity… 🙁
In my opinion, it smelled of pure sugar and too synthetic; bad, very bad. I bought it blind and only used it once because I couldn’t stand it.
It was a blind buy because I got it at a good price online, and I don’t know why my first impression was so bad. I suppose it was too early when I tested it on my skin, because the first thing I thought was ‘this is going to give me a headache’. I’m still learning to distinguish the notes, but it was like a very strong synthetic raspberry juice concentrate. Before drawing conclusions, I let it dry for a while, and after a few minutes, the vanilla and the sweet base notes started to take space, which ‘calmed’ that strident raspberry a bit. However, I kept using it for several days, and it never gave me that unpleasant sensation again. Now I feel it like a super delicious sugar-raspberry juice; it automatically puts me in a good mood. It makes me want to have one of those little shaped shot glasses. It’s a fun, summery, relaxed fragrance; I don’t know if it reminds me of a circus (I’ve never been to one, at least not a traditional one), but it does transport me to an amusement park near a beach, or a fun walk on a holiday trip with friends. It’s perfect for this time of year (spring-summer) and for the day, in my opinion. I would use it every day if it weren’t so hard to get, at least in my country. The longevity and trail on my skin are moderate to weak; after 3 hours, I feel it very close to the skin and have to reapply, but honestly, given the price I got it for and how beautiful the bottle is, I’m more than happy.
I must admit that when I first smelled it, I wondered if the purchase had been good. Not because it was a bad smell, but because I imagined it differently. Anyway, first, let me clarify that this fragrance is indeed sweet, moderately so; it’s not a subtle sweetness, but it doesn’t touch cloying either. It’s a pleasant and youthful scent; definitely, the fruity touch of raspberry is perceived, and I think the best way to describe it is as if you perceived the scent of a fresh raspberry completely dusted with powdered sugar (imperceptible) and placed it on the petals of a very soft, barely perceptible flower. As for its longevity, on me it’s weak, lasting a maximum of a couple of hours, and with its trail, it’s the same story: weak and it doesn’t go beyond the skin. I think the seasons to use it would be a fresh spring and autumn in the morning. As for the thermal sensation, I’d say it’s slightly warm. Informal, for daily and daytime use.
Circus Fantasy, what can I say… In my opinion, it’s not an Eau de Parfum; I’d categorise it more as an Eau de Toilette due to its short longevity (barely 3 hours). Out of the whole Fantasy line, it’s the one I like the least; however, its opening is citrusy, you can feel the raspberry and peach, giving way to a subtle vanilla close to the skin. The formula remains intact since its launch, as I’ve bought it 4 times, freshly released in my country as gifts from my brothers for Three Kings Day or birthdays (they know my tastes regarding Britney). Since it launched in Spain in March 2009, it has been the same scent and durability. It was only discontinued in perfumeries after about 3 years… it’s easy to buy online in Spain for 15€ for the 100ml size. For me, it smells good, I absolutely don’t dislike it; I’ll use it in summer or spring as its notes suit that season more, and for the day, it won’t be one of my night perfumes. Edit: I’ve been wearing it for several days in May, and with the heat, the notes become more pronounced and it lasts longer, approximately 7 hours in humid and warm weather. That said, I sometimes feel it’s masculine; I’d say it’s the most masculine of Britney’s scents.
I really liked it; it’s sweet but not as much as the other Fantasy ones; it’s fresh, light, and sweet without being cloying. Ideal for spring/summer. The only downside is that it doesn’t last long on my skin, but it’s so lovely that I’m willing to carry the bottle in my bag, haha.
The least sweet of the entire Fantasy line I’ve tried. It’s pleasant, but the longevity is short.
My first love within the FANTASY line. It’s my go-to perfume for going out at night; it smells so good! I’m completely in love with its projection and longevity. It smells of super fresh, powdery, and velvety raspberry, giving the sensation of an expensive perfume. It’s super sweet and fruity, with the raspberry really hitting hard, just like the musk and vanilla. If I had to relate it to a texture, it would be 100% velvety. I’ll never get tired of it and need to buy more refill bottles. I absolutely love Circus Fantasy! Scent 10/10, longevity 10/10.
To be honest, it sits somewhere between ‘I like it’ and ‘I’m indifferent’ for me; I can’t decide. It’s pleasant, but it has a spicy little touch I can’t quite describe, a bit strong for my nose.
At first, I thought it was weak and took a while to notice the scent, but once you wear it… what a delight! You can really smell the raspberry, sugar, violet, and vanilla. At work, people told me I smelled great, and it lasted 8 hours. Excellent.
I read so many contradictory reviews that I hesitated to buy it and almost left it for the end of my Fantasy collection. Finally, I decided: for me, it’s a 10. I adore it. At first, I notice the scent of the fruits from Amor Amor 2003 (I think they reformulated it as I can’t smell them the same way anymore), but with time it settles into an aquatic scent like Light Blue. It has become one of my favourites in the line. 💙
Too weak for my taste; I notice it’s very watery with a slightly plastic vibe, similar to Hidden Fantasy, which I suppose are the “sweet notes”. I prefer its other sisters like the original, Intimate or Electric. It doesn’t smell anything like Light Blue as they say, nor does it resemble Amor Amor. The one that resembles it most is Hidden Fantasy, but this is more intense and citrusy than Circus and still isn’t to my liking. I’ll put it up for sale as I doubt I’ll use it.
I really like it; it was a 15th birthday gift and at 25 it’s still the same, what a pity they discontinued it. I bought it again at a flash sale for 690 pesos. It’s very sweet, fruity, perfect for school and everyday wear. Better suited for spring, summer or winter due to the sweetness; if you don’t like sweet scents, it’s not for you.
I wore it and people said it smelled like Fruity Loops and yoghurt 🙄. I’d say it smells like rich shampoo. I wouldn’t buy it again.
Based on the notes, I expected something sweeter. I saw reviews saying it’s dry, fresh or aquatic, and I thought: how can it be if the notes are sweet? Well, yes, it’s fresh, to the point where it could pass as unisex. I’m a lover of sweet and gourmand scents, but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s very pleasant and has an excellent trail, better than Hidden or Midnight Fantasy, which are softer. It seems spring and summer appropriate, but I think it works all year round; it’s a very clean all-rounder.
I’m not sure if it’s defective or if they’ve reformulated it, as I can barely smell it. It’s a pity because it smells delicious. It’s super frustrating that such a beautiful aroma is so faint; nothing like Fantasy Intimate, which has an incredible trail and lasts hours…
It’s too fresh; I don’t sense any sweetness, but rather an aquatic and woody vibe. It stands out in the heat for being fresh. Perhaps it’s undervalued; it’s not a common or mass-market scent, but an original one not for everyone. I always receive compliments when I wear it, from both men and women.
It smells clean, sugary and floral. It’s not overpowering; I thought it would be sweeter, but it’s a light gourmand. It has the style of Cacharel’s Amor Amor because it’s fresh, floral and sweet, yet they don’t resemble each other at all. Longevity is excellent and the trail moderate; it lasted me an entire afternoon. Without a doubt, I’ll buy it again; it’s one of my favourite Britneys. EDIT: after trying it several times, it’s a shame it doesn’t last nearly as long; you need more than three sprays to feel it.
For me, it has nothing sweet about it; it’s more fresh, marine and aquatic. Ideal for the beach or a poolside terrace. The scent is lovely and youthful with a soft trail, but the longevity was very weak; in the end, I gave it away. It’s not unpleasant, but I expected something more gourmand based on the notes, and it wasn’t.
Bought it blindly for summer and got it right: smells fresh, not sweet, and people keep asking me what it is. Lasts about three hours on the skin but lingers on clothes for over five. I didn’t feel comfortable wearing it in winter, so I’ve saved it for hot weather. Now in spring, I absolutely love it; my boyfriend says it smells like spicy sweet ginger, though I don’t declare it, while I perceive it as a raspberry lemonade or lemon sweets. Rating: 8.5/10
It is similar to Cacharel’s Amor Amor, but more youthful.
For smelling delicious all the time, I loved it. The only thing it lacked was longevity, but it smells super rich. I did not buy it again because it is no longer sold nearby, but I LOVE IT. Has it been discontinued?
I tried it at a discount pharmacy. I do not know if it was the tester, but it seemed awful to me. What a pity.
I got it a few days ago and on first use it smelled quite citrusy. After letting it macerate for a few days, the scent turned into a subtle sweet fruity aroma (not cloying) with a great touch of violet on the skin. I liked it; I find it fresh and easy to wear in the heat. The sillage is not very strong on me, but it lasts on the skin. I think it is a good option for those who do not tolerate such sweet perfumes.
It would be perfect if it did not have those woody notes.
I bought it blind because I had never seen a tester for this perfume and I loved it. I am a fan of Fantasy and Midnight Fantasy, but these two smell sweeter and more cloying. This one has a more floral and fresh touch, perfect for spring and summer. Although it is sweet, the fresh note saves it and it is a wonder.
It is super aquatic, but the longevity leaves much to be desired: it does not last more than four hours, not even on clothes. Ideal for spring, summer and daily wear. I would not recommend it because there are other aquatic fragrances with better longevity and projection at that price point, such as Cool Water, Blue Seduction or Armaf Voyage Hawai. These are aquatic florals that last longer.
It smells lovely and is similar to Cacharel’s Amor Amor, sweet yet aquatic and not as cloying as other Fantasies. It is one of my favourites in the line, alongside Midnight and Jungle. The pity is that although the sillage is moderate, the longevity is terrible and you have to reapply it frequently. Nevertheless, I love it.
🎪 Circus Fantasy (Batch 2016) – A timeless gem. My bottle from nine years ago is still a wonder: the longevity is incredible; I wear it in the morning and the next day I can still detect that powdery violet dry-down on my skin. This batch has a depth that current reformulations have lost; now they are lighter and more youthful. Mine balances the fruity and floral notes without being cloying. The heart is creamier, and the violet in the dry-down is much more pronounced. If you find an old batch, do not pass it up: it is an aromatic capsule from another era.
I bought it with great enthusiasm, but in Argentina you get the Spanish retail version, which has too much alcohol and smells like generic fruity shampoo. If you want the real experience, look for the original US version. In Latin America, all the Fantasies are retail versions—a scam.
