When you enter the circus, you are surrounded by the scents of hay for the elephants, fresh popcorn, peanuts - it's a strangely distinctive scent. It involves the caramel smell of sugar burning on the cotton candy machines and the faint reek of animal manure, wood shavings and hot peanuts, old dust shaken out of faded tents, and the greasepaint and the popcorn. Discover the world of nostalgia and wonder.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler:
- Calyx Marionette Perfume Oil - Marionette is the sweet smell of the midnight circus puppet show. Enjoy the delicate cotton candy melting at the touch of your lips as you watch Sempronia the Fairly flit about the wooden stage. Her silent wings stir the sweet air and her silken dress rustles as she flies, closer to escape each night. A sweet, warm and powdery fragrance with notes of aged silk, cotton candy, light musk and vanilla.
- Cirque Sensorium Charred and Drizzled Kettle Corn EDP - If you ever catch the scent of Charred and Drizzled Kettle Corn on a windless night, don’t follow it. Unless, of course, you want to see what the tent shows after midnight. It opens with kettle corn sweet, golden and slightly scorched. Next comes ribbons of salted caramel and melted chocolate that snake through the air like acrobats in mid-flip. Beneath the sugar and popcorn, the scent deepens. Patchouli wafts up from the ring floor, rich and damp, like soil where tent poles once stood. The final bow is musk, soft and intimate, trailing behind like the ringmaster’s whisper when the lights go out.
- Deep Midnight Perfumes Midnight on the Midway Perfume Oil - The circus gates have closed but you are still inside the magic of the night. Tantalizing smells of a welcoming bonfire and warm mini donuts fill the air, along with a faint and familiar perfume that draws you in deeper towards the midway, towards the tents in the very back of the fairgrounds where who knows what magical world will await you. Windswept leaves help you float along as though your feet already know the way. It's midnight now and the real performances will begin. Main notes in this perfume that will take you away to a magical circus midway at midnight are: sugared donuts, charred wood, brown sugar, dark amber, cinnamon and fall leaves. This perfume oil is unisex tending slightly towards the feminine side of the scale with delicious gourmand notes that are slightly spicy and smoky.
- Haus of Gloi Cotton Candy & Caramel Corn EDP - A sugary sweet yet irresistible combination of caramel popcorn and spun sugar.
- LizabeCo Cirque du Noir Parfum – It starts off with the fragrances of just cooked funnel cake and freshly popped kettle corn. These gourmand first notes settle quickly into rain, fresh dirt, roses crushed underfoot and wet pavement. This finally yields to a spicy, warm, leathery finish that lasts for hours. That's the magic of the Cirque du Noir.
- Possets The Bastard Child of the Circus Peanut Perfume Oil - That curious creature, a hybrid of strange pairings and totally unnatural: the circus peanut. Admit it, you love them. You don’t have to tell anyone about your passion for them, just enjoy. Smells like a circus peanut but like you have never ever smelled a circus peanut. Yumm-o!
- Sixteen92 Losers Club Perfume Oil - Inspired by Stephen King's novel It. A conceptual atmospheric fragrance with gourmand nuances featuring notes of rain-drenched iron, distant circus lights, candy floss and a red balloon.
