LE CIRQUE
LE CIRQUE
A riot of dark chocolate-covered espresso beans, toasted sugarcane, Mysore sandalwood, Haitian vetiver, and a puff off a Cuban cigar. This is a conversation over a late-night espresso that you never want to end. It is so fun, so rich, and entirely sexy.

This is a celebration of gourmand notes, in particular cafe con leche as a remarkable and buzzy top note.
It is a genuine circus of performers. Acrobatic swings between orange blossom, coffee bean extractions, and cocoa absolute–structured, harmonious, and deliriously fun.

This is more night out than day at the office, but who am I to tell you what to do? You walk into work smelling like an almond croissant and espresso fresh from the bakery and you might just get that promotion you deserve. Le Cirque is entirely unisex, something of an extrovert (something i just made up but I think you might get what I mean if you smell it), meticulously blended for sophistication and balance, in spite of the wild notes.

I can’t tell you how much I love this fragrance!!! It is sweet, vibrant, sensual, yet also dark and seductive! I cannot get enough, I just got it but might need to get another bottle just cause.
Thank you so much! Thrilled you love it!
Le Cirque was an extra free sample I received when I ordered 2 discovery sets. What an amazing surprise! Why? Because I don’t usually gravitate towards those notes. And if Maison des Animaux wouldn’t have sent me the sample, I wouldn’t have experienced this scent. I love how dark, sultry & sensual this fragrance is. All the notes balance each other to create this unique masterpiece. I loved it so much, that I ordered a full bottle of it. I reviewed it on my TT: EclecticLifeUnfiltered.
I wanted so bad to love this. All the notes are in line with my vibe. Was hoping for the elegance of rich dark chocolate/coffee/tobacco but something in it gives it, for lack of a better word, a “sour” smell on me. Seems to be working well for others though so maybe something in my body chemistry just doesn’t mesh.
Le Cirque is a total sensory takeover—from the very first spritz, it grabs you and doesn’t let go. The dark chocolate and espresso in the opening hit like a velvet-clad thief in the night: bold, rich, and utterly irresistible. It’s the kind of sexy that takes you prisoner—in all the best ways. Then the tobacco and patchouli enter, seductive and smoky-sweet, pulling you deeper into the velvet shadows of the scent. There’s a sugared darkness here—intoxicating, almost dangerous—but always delicious. And just when you think it’s peaked, Le Cirque softens into this gorgeously smooth base of vanilla and sandalwood, still smoldering but now wrapped in a come-hither warmth. The vetiver and heliotrope add depth and softness, like a whisper in the dark.
This isn’t just sexy—it’s enthralling. Fun sexy, grown-up sexy, addictive sexy. It’s magnetic, indulgent, and honestly? Feels like an aphrodisiac. I LOVE love this. 10/10.
Chocolate covered espresso beans are an indulgence I rarely give up - this perfume smells of them along with a woodiness and a hint of sweet tobacco. It is an absolute love!
