It does smell a lot like LDBS, and I have a full bottle of Perdizione by Nobile 1942, which this fragrance also smells like. Regardless, it's gorgeous.and it lasts forever. I still smell it on clothes 12 hours later.
I knew I was going to like this before I even tried it, and I am indeed obsessed with it and just ordered a 30mL bottle. There is something really nostalgic about it. The scent evolves so much from the first sprays to the dry down. It really takes you on a journey. I ordered a sample set, and so far I love like 5/7 samples I have tried. And I think the other two could grow on me. They're all very original, and the ingredients smell really natural and not synthetic at all. Because of how natural and artisanal the fragrances smell, I was so shocked that the longevity is so good.
Le Cirque is very versatile, but something that can honestly be worn as a signature scent, and that's why I wish the bottles came in bigger sizes. I would have immediately gotten 100mL of this. I'm so excited about this new house! Brava !
This reminds me vaguely of Memoir by Amouage, one of my all time favorite fragrances. It is so addictive, definitely can be worn by women or men. Sugarwood is a perfect name for this perfume - it's sweet and woody. Super unique ! Very long lasting.
Ordered a 10 mil and immediately realized that this was a dupe for Dama Bianca. It's a very good dupe but I wish I would have known that because I already own the original. If you don't want to spend the money on the original then I recommend this as a good alternative.
This is an interesting fragrance that is very sweet, however that hint of sandalwood brings it into unisex territory for any person who wants to smell like a sexy violet marshmallow. It’s both a comforting and mysterious scent. I really love it!
