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.

I got a trial size because this was the top rated scent on the site, and it’s shockingly a great masculine scent that smells similar to shaving cream but in the best way. Will probably be my Virgo man’s signature scent now. Love it!
this one especially stood out to me; it’s a very beautiful green scent that is slightly sweet and floral. this could possibly be in the rotation for next spring!
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.
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
