Calico Koi
Notes: lemongrass, basil, ginger, turmeric, osmanthus, sweetened toasted coconut, and sticky rice
It was my last summer working at the art museum and I was now interning as a collection photographer alongside the rest of the staff who were working on preserving, cleaning, and documenting pieces of east asian art from across China, Korea, and Japan. I spent dozens of hours every week with these pieces and across many of them, I would spot recurring themes and images, my favorite was the orange and black spotted koi.

this is a really interesting scent; at first i absolutely hated the scent right off the first spray, but as it settled down, it became more tolerable. it has a bitterness to it from the ginger, and a salty undertone from the sticky rice, but is overall a green scent with a sweet and salty kick. not my cup of tea, but is still decent!
I was really excited to test this scent out, but the second the smell hit me, I felt nauseous. It’s a strong, awkward smelling gourmand fragrance, and it’s nowhere near as fresh as I was hoping.
Amazing comfortable and like a cozy sweater
I received Calico Koi in my discovery set and it’s such a pretty, unique scent. It’s such a delicious lemon, almost like a lemon hard candy, upon the initial spray. As it settles, I get a soft creamy scent that is soft and clean. I enjoy unusual scents and my favorite notes include incense, tea, jasmine, and spices. I suggest Calico Koi is a wonderful scent to try if you are looking for something different. It’s versatile enough to wear year-round. Also, how cute is the artwork on all the Cirrus perfumes.
As i continue my fragrance journey, i have started moving from sample to travel b size before i buy a full bottle. I tried a sample of Calico Koi and loved it. So i ordered the 10ml. And i STILL love it. So much it has become a signature scent for me. It’s so lovely and works in summer so I’m confident it will work in winter too. Amazing on my skin.
