Cirrus Parfum

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.

My New Favorite Perfume

It’s androgynous, long lasting, fresh, and smells remarkably similar to the clown fig plant when it’s flowered. It layers well with other scents as well.

Friendly fig-lady

I actually really enjoyed this fragrance, and I think it matches its description well. To me, it smells like getting hugged by a friendly fig-lady. It’s sweet, soft, natural, and inviting.

Just ok

VERY intriguing!

I smelt this perfume at a Indie perfume store and it was quite intriguing. Now usually, I am a sweet vanilla, gourmand kind of girl, but this scent is not that at all. It's different from anything that I have in my collection. When I spray it, I immediately thought of like a water nymph mixed with a little bit of dirt, but in a good way. I kept smelling it on skin and I loved how all the notes sat & the longevity is nice!! if I had to say what this smelled like, I would say a water nymph wrapped in grass and dirt, but it doesn't smell dirty. It smells very empowering and natural like a musk.

Stolen signature

The perfume which led me to Cirrus, and my favorite (non-discontinued) offering. I had my coworker test samples of every fragrance and upon smelling this she said “ooh that could be my new signature scent.” She took the sample and proceeded to gush about how lovely it is about 8 times that month, so I bought a 30ml for her birthday. I’d say it’s unisex, smells exactly like being inside the tree picking figs, very clean and luscious like a velvety butter mint (the ‘texture’).
