I don't normally like chocolate or boozy but this is so good! Smoky, boozy chocolate. Dark chocolate so not a sweet smell! Layer with Tomboy
This perfume resonates with my soul! It was love at first Snif!
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.
I recently had the pleasure of trying this delightful fragrance, which absolutely wowed my senses—in a good way! It was included as a free gift with my discovery set order. The notes are incredibly inviting and smooth. Le Cirque is not just fun; it feels indulgent and sensual. If you're searching for something that offers a luxurious yet playful experience, I highly recommend giving Le Cirque a try!
Received my discovery set today and OMG it’s so beautiful. I’m completely enamored with Sirius and Aurate. I can’t wait to get some full sizes and try the other in this house. I’m excited about this house’s offerings.
Smells amazing, I always get compliments when I wear this- from men and women! Unique scent is woody and sweet.
the dry down was good but the initial puff is way overwhelming and unpleasant and smells strongly of isopropyl alcohol
Such a beautiful fragrance. So unique!
Spicy and warm, perfect for the wintertime.
Creamy (not overly sweet) coffee scent, you get soft wisps of cigar smoke and an over all powdery quality that I love. This one might be my new bedtime scent! (I know, coffee for bed right lol)
Great scents and presentation!
I bought the sample and ended up purchasing the bottle.
Stunning. . Hits all the right spots for gourmand lovers: chocolate, vanilla with a little spice to keep it from venturing into cloy-ville. Just lovely.
LeCirque: Elegant Decadence
Very subtle and delicious scent that did not overwhelm me when she first put it on (which is a common problem for me, even with many that I like after they've rested n bonded). I thought it would die off, but was still very scentable and delectable hours later.
This was the clear winner of the 5 (+1 freebie!) in my discovery kit. I love the spicy chocolate notes. This is the closest thing I have found to my all time fave (sadly discontinued) Slumberhouse Ore, and LeCirque is very reasonably priced ❤️
I bought a Maison Des Animaux Discovery Set and it is phenomenal! I have to say it’s one of the very best sets I have ever bought. Every scent is so unique, highly rated and full bottle worthy, I just have to share!
Here’s a quickie recap:
LE CIRQUE - A decadent mix of chocolate and coffee with a richly complex and addictive patchouli tobacco base. If you like Black Phantom, you’ll love this! 4.75 rating on Fragrantica.
Packaged well and arrived quite quickly in comparison to other sellers. Scents are great. Also received an extra sample which was quite welcome.
Patchouli, that's 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.
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!
They have that noticeable, weird, strange, strong, artificial, chemical, perfume scent that I've noticed in so many scents. Haven't tried them a 2nd time. Will mix with unscented lotion and find out what happens!
A wonderful, long lasting fragrance that doesn't mute after hours of wearing. On my skin it smells of bark and wood, with undertones that are rich with a touch of sweet. ❤️
If you're worried that some of these notes will overpower others, don't be. It all blends perfectly to create a cozy little atmosphere around you, like a comforting memory of grabbing a coffee and a pastry on a rainy morning.
I was really excited for this scent, but ended up not liking how it smelled on me. My sister loved it though, so I gave it to her.
Absolutely love this one. It opens with almond biscotti dipped in mocha, and dries down to the vintage cigar box your favorite fling kept his black and milds in. It’s smoky, it’s soft, it’s pretty, it lasts for hours. Gorgeous.
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 !
