Cirrus Parfum
Parakeet
Parakeet
Notes: Fizzy grapefruit soda, freshly picked daisies, tiny forget-me-nots, and the powdery sweet down feathers of a well groomed parakeet
This perfume was inspired by rose-tinted memories of my first pet. Skye was a beautiful and very tame blue and white parakeet. Some of my earliest memories were of sneaking out of bed at sunrise and taking him out of his cage to play when the house and the world were just for the two of us.
It opens with a super carbonated and defined grapefruit soda. As it dries down the flowers and feathers will begin to come out.
This perfume is naturally colored with blue chamomile. Therefore the color of this fragrance may change slightly with age.

I love when a perfume surprises me. I love it even more when it pulls off something completely bizarre without turning into a gimmick. I kept sniffing my wrist trying to figure it out. It doesn’t smell like a bird—it smells like the feeling of holding one. Soft feathers, warm skin, a little dusty, weirdly comforting, and somehow addictive. Parakeet somehow makes “tiny warm bird” smell beautiful, it’s not just animalic it has a heartbeat, like you’re holding a little companion. The opening is all sparkling grapefruit soda—bright, effervescent, almost impossibly cheerful. But then something unexpected begins to emerge. It isn’t dirty enough to be traditionally animalic, and it isn’t clean enough to be a typical white musk. It’s the scent of warmth. Of soft down. Of something alive.
What I love most is the tension between the fizzy grapefruit and that soft animal warmth. One sparkles; the other settles close to the skin. One feels playful; the other feels intimate. Together they create a scent that is impossible to categorize but immediately recognizable once you’ve experienced it.
Parakeet reminds me that “animalic” doesn’t always mean leather, civet, or fur. Sometimes it simply means alive. It’s the gentle scent of companionship rather than wilderness—a memory more than a perfume.
I’ve smelled plenty of fragrances that impressed me. Parakeet is one of the very few that genuinely surprised me.
It was fun smelling this one. Unlike anything I’ve smelled before. Tart citrus and, laundry soap, plus the feather note! Its nice. Not something od wear often but it does last a long time on skin. I dont mind spraying on my hand before bed and catching wiffs while ready a book. Its nice.
This starts with a bubbly sweet pop of citrus, then reveals clean light unisex florals. I don’t know what parakeet feathers actually smell like, but if it’s like this, I think I’d like it.
Who knew smelling like a bird could be so addictive. Such a fun fizzy delight!
An amazing sweet, citrusy, bubbly scent. The powdery “parakeet” notes are surprisingly lovely. Lasts all day.
