Britney Spears – Circus Fantasy

Elizabeth Arden recently launched Britney Spears’s new fragrance Circus Fantasy Eau de Parfum. I’m assuming  that the name is a nod to her current Circus concert tour. The ad features Britney looking lovely and fit in her “Circus” ware, which is very similar to some of the costumes she wears in her Circus music video.

Circus Fantasy Eau de Parfum
3.3 oz for $55

I’m a Britney fan. I always have at least one of her songs on my playlist for runs. Usually Toxic, because it’s my favorite. I have had experienced mixed reactions to her fragrances. Usually they are too sweet for me and I didn’t like the last one, Believe, very much at all.

This new fragrance, Circus Fantasy, will probably be the same, but I will try to smell it with an open mind. It’s a fruity-floral blend with a “candy” bottom note. It’s described as “magical” and with a “colorful illusion of fun, sexiness, and glamour.”  That reminds me of  a circus – all show in the ring, but sort of sad behind the scenes.

The bottle is very cute, it’s very much like the Hidden Fantasy bottle, but brighter.

Top note: Sugar-coated Raspberry, Apricot Blossom
