Aroma palette is earthy, woody, ozonic, and gourmand. Highlights include autumn leaves, plastic Halloween masks, clown makeup, old circus tent canvas, barn hay, aged iron, and crushed popcorn.
Dark Circus is the result of the artists desire to compose the darkest circus themed fragrance on the market. It’s a walk through a long-abandoned carnival at the edge of autumn. The scent begins with the brittle rustle of fallen leaves and the faint snap of cold air as night settles in. Crushed popcorn lingers in the dust, barely sweet beneath the weight of decay and decomposition.
On the drydown, an unusual note of aged plastic creeps in, like the brittle surface of forgotten Halloween masks. The powdery smear of clown makeup follows, waxy and unsettling.
The heart of the scent is the circus itself. The heavy canvas of the old tent smells like dirt, mildew, and years of smoke curling into the seams. There’s a dry whisper of barn hay, not bright and golden but faded and trampled by animals that have long moved on. A cool, dirty metallic breath of oxidized iron appears briefly. Even as the deeper notes settle in, the popcorn remains, light and strange, a stubborn trace of sweetness against the dreary and ominous backdrop
This perfume doesn’t just evoke a place. It puts you there. Unsettling, hyperreal, and extremely bleak and unsettling, Dark Circus captures the moment the sun goes down and the ghosts come forward.
