I love perfume and one of my favourite perfume 'collections' is Britney Spears' one. I think that they really are genuinely nice perfumes (and I don't buy them just because I like Britney). As I liked a few of them, I made it my mission to collect every single one. Today I will be reviewing Britney's 'Circus' perfume which is taken from the 'Fantasy' range.

Circus is available in the following bottles:

30ml (£10.18, Amazon
50ml (£11.00, Amazon)
100ml (£15.59, Amazon)

I love the bottles - it's so pretty. It consists of a light-ish blue round bottle with red gems on it. It's very attractive and looks great on my dressing table.

Top notes: Raspberry, Apricot Blossom and Sugar.
Middle notes: Orchid, Peony and Water Lily.
Base notes: Vanilla, Sweet Notes, Musk, Woody Notes and Violet.

When I spray this perfume, I can smell raspberries and just a general 'fruity' smell. I can also smell 'lemons' although there are no lemons in it. I would describe the perfume as being 'clean, fresh, and light' and so I would say that it is definitely a more 'summery' perfume.

I can also smell vanilla and 'musk' at times. As strange as it sounds, there is something 'powdery' about this scent, which is something I'm not really a fan of.

I didn't get this perfume straight away when it came out, as I was a little put off by the name. I thought that with a name like 'Circus' it may be too sickly sweet - and in a way right I was. This perfume is very sweet - spray too much and it gets sickly sweet.

This perfume is very young. A lot of Britney's perfumes are quite 'young', however, I do think that this is the 'youngest' one, as there is something quite 'childlike' about it due to it's sweetness. So I would definitely say that this one is for teenagers.

One thing which has surprised me about this perfume is its staying power. All of Britney's other perfumes have great staying power, however this one's staying power is terrible; it wears off completely after a couple of hours, which is so disappointing as Britney's other ones last all day.

Whilst this perfume is ok, it's not my favourite Britney perfume. There isn't that much 'wow' about it. But if you like sweet perfumes, then you may like this.

Thanks for reading!
