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.

this is one of the prettiest fig scents i’ve ever smelled! it reminds me of royalty and marble columns and climbing green vines. it’s clean and green and so good
I got a discovery set and Enforced Modesty was the first I smelled. I immediately put a bigger size in my cart and hit "order." This is one of the prettiest lilac fragrances I have ever smelled. Passed the sample to a friend after my 10ml came in and they had the same reaction. If you have a nose, get this perfume or risk intense FOMO.
This is the most beautiful and well-balanced herbaceous floral I’ve ever smelled.
Originally purchased in a discovery set and immediately knew I had to purchase in the 30ml bottle. I enjoy all of Cirrus scents but this one is in my top 3. To me this is a very beautiful, sensual, intoxicating scent and seems to be long lasting on my skin. So far all of Cirrus scents I’ve purchased have been approved by my teenage son, he enjoys hearing the stories behind the scents and learning about the notes alongside me. It’s become something I look forward to when opening up new purchases.
This one was a real neck breaker around my family, I like to believe that all fragrance is unisex, around the men at work I smelled clean and aromatic, and around the women in my family and friend groups it was a stop me in my tracks type of scent. I love the smell fig but this is very different from what I’ve been used to. A must try!
