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 Benedict XVI 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.

Love your creativity in your fragrances!
What a beautiful scent. It starts out green, herbal, and peppery, and then settles down into a beautiful balanced scent - green and fresh, with a creaminess from the marble and sweetness from the fig. I’m excited to use up my sample and go for a full size!
I was looking forward to trying out this sample and it ended up not being to my liking. I realize I may not enjoy thyme in my perfume. I appreciate the uniqueness of it though.
A really beautiful cool/ powdery/ green fig scent. Great performance
This is magical. Another full bottle worthy fragrance from Cirrus
