Cirrus Parfum
Enforced Modesty
Enforced Modesty
The vibe is a twilight stroll through a garden, thick with sprawling green fig trees and lilac. There are ancient-looking marble busts and statues dotting the property in various levels of decay. The air is thick, sweet, and somewhat humid. You come to a life-sized classical nude, posed pouring water from a vase in to the earth below. Covering their nakedness, someone before you has stuck a fig leaf to their pelvis with a bit of the plant's natural latex.
Notes: Fig leaf, ripening fig, marble, laurel wreaths, purple lilac, ivy, green mandarin, and creeping thyme
This fragrance was inspired by the fig leaf campaign of Pope Paul IV in which it was decided that nudity in art was not morally acceptable. Famously this resulted in many statues, particularly male nudes having their genitals covered with plaster fig leaves and/or being chiseled off entirely.
In an interesting twist, the Vatican kept most of the removed phalluses and there is now a team of scholars in Italy that are working to match the stray wieners with their original owners, thereby restoring art that was vandalized by the church in the name of Christian propriety.

This is a clean vibe scent that meets greenery but not crazy soapy and not herb like either. The fig brings it up. I wanted for my husband but it's with my purfume.
long lasting and pleasant, a bit too powdery for me personally.
FS immediatelt after finishing my sample! I need to BATHE in this ✨
absolutely stunning fragrance and suits the imagery perfectly! this is a very green and herbaceous fig with a woody vanilla background. I get a lot of the laurel and thyme to start, which makes this feel like cold wet stone. a great choice if you're looking for something atmospheric, or something that celebrates fig leaves!
As someone who has sampled a LOT of fig frags lately, this one is unique and possibly my favorite from Cirrus that I’ve tried yet! The whole-tree fig including fruit, green leaves, and wood, but the lilac, touch of citrus, and other herbal green notes make this unique. Perfect summer frag!
