Cirque du Soleil L’Eau de Parfum is a sweet, Gourmand, warm scent created for Men and Women in 2024 by perfumer Alexis Grugeon.
Review
This fragrance is a Gourmand lover’s dream! It’s sweet and nostalgic. It starts off smelling like Popcorn and Apples, and then begins to transform into a piece of sweet heaven. Cotton Candy brings a very subtle sugary sweetness. Iris Petals add a gentle creamy quality without turning things floral or cosmetic-like. Sandalwood and Caramelized Amber bring warmth that grounds everything, and Vanilla Bean keeps the sweetness going strong. The overall scent creates a feeling that almost really feels like being at the Circus. Those moments before you’ve entered the arena area, and are walking around smelling the Caramel and Kettle Corn, the Cotton Candy, and feeling the general buzz of excitement in the air. After a while, everything begins to change. The scent stays sweet and Vanilla-ish, but begins to warm up and mellow out. You can still feel hints of the Buttery Popcorn and Cotton Candy under the surface, but the Iris Petals create more of a soft and velvety presence, the Caramelized Amber creates a more sultry and sensual essence. Everything becomes more inviting and intimate within the sweetness. This scent goes from sweet, fun, and nostalgic to sweet, intimate, and sensual. This is a fragrance that can be easily dressed up or down and worn any time, place, or occasion, and in any weather. It has been compared to Hufflepuff Parfum from House of Sillage and Yum Boujee Marshmallow from Kayali.
Inspiration
Cirque du Soleil L’Eau de Parfum was inspired by the excitement, joy, and mystery of the Cirque du Soleil performances. It envelops the senses in youthful nostalgia, and creates new emotions.
Notes
This scent opens with the nuance of the Buttery Popcorn Accord blended with the bright fruitiness of the Red Apple Smell-The-Taste note. It almost feels more like Kettle Corn than Buttery Popcorn, but then the sweetness of the Cotton Candy envelops these notes, mellowing everything out. Iris Petals bring a velvety sweetness, with a gentle pop from the Fresh Freesia. Caramelized Amber brings both sweetness and warmth, with the warmth deepening with Sandalwood. Vanilla Bean rounds out the sweetness of the overall scent. While things begin with an almost youthful, nostalgic sweetness, it finishes with a warm, grounded, elegant, and sultry essence.
