This is the smell of the sunshine, orange trees, and a good friend.

Notes: juniper berry, petitgrain, bitter orange, red mandarin, cedarwood, palo santo, and a warm fuzzy musk that feels to me like the hot belly of a clean dog.

Pam came to the animal shelter under mysterious circumstances. Nobody was quite sure what her history was or how old she was. All we knew was that she came from a small orange grove in California.

She was anxious about nearly everything, but I could tell she was a sweet animal. One month after adopting her, she let me pet her - and she’s been my shadow ever since - 7 years later she’s a grumpy old girl with arthritis and the warmest spirit.

Bright and fresh

This is bright, green, and a little juicy from the orange and mandarin. It doesn't come off as a true citrus, but rather a grassy green musk with a woody drydown. Leans a little masculine on me, but my partner enjoys wearing it. Great for hot weather! The cedar and juniper really sing with the heat. Decent throw, not super long lasting but for something this fresh and green I'm pretty pleased with the performance.

Fuzzy and comforting

This is the scent that made me want to try Cirrus and the one from my discovery set I couldn’t wait to smell. I’m always on the hunt for scents that remind me of the scents of my dogs and cats fur and the description and story behind this one warmed my heart. In the dry down is where I found exactly what I was looking for, a lovely musky smell mixed with what’s leftover from the citruses and palo santo. It really does remind me of the smell of my dog after she’s been in the sun or even just when she’s sleeping and her belly turns warm and pink. I ordered a full size based on this alone. The beginning is gorgeous too, all warm and citrus and bright. It’s a love for me.

Unique and Beautiful Scent

This perfume is a wonderful surprise! It opens for me with a slight musky comforting scent and blooms into a full orange peel! Love, love, love! Pam must be one special pup!

A Dry & Bright Citrus Delight!

While this is first and foremost a showcase for dry woody orange, I am fascinated by the way this fragrance evokes the clean belly of a warm dog! It's subtle, and such an uncommon note, that you might not get it unless you're looking for it--no one around you is going to think "dog smell" or anything--but it's definitely there! Like it emerges out of the interplay of the main notes, rather than being a note unto itself. It transforms the fragrance into something unique and evocative. Petitgrain is the star of the show, though--it's oil from the twigs and leaves of the bitter orange tree, and the composition here seems built around it to create the impression of "the whole orange tree". The orange oils add brightness, the palo santo adds depth, and there's a little green shimmer from the juniper. Dry, rather than sweet--not a juicy orange, more pithy to me, which is a plus! Perfectly unisex and suitable for all occasions and moods. An easy summer go-to!
