Cirrus Enforced Modesty Perfume Review


Today, I tried Enforced Modesty, a fig EdP from Cirrus Parfums. I am exploring more fig scents and this one seems to fit the bill! It is a lovely soft green color. 

Notes: Fig leaf, ripening fig, marble, laurel wreaths, purple lilac, ivy, green mandarin, and creeping thyme

This is a green scent! I get some fig leaf and other greenery. I saw in the reviews, some people got lilacs but I don’t get that at all. There is cedarwood in this and I do get that. This is a woody scent too. Primarily green but with woody and fruity or like sweet musky notes as an accent.  It feels a bit too cologne-y for me, it kinda reminds me of like car air freshener scents. I don’t really enjoy cologne so that may be why. I am a bit bummed this isn’t a fig scent I enjoy, especially since I can see some ingredients and they are parts of fig accords I like. I guess the addition of the greenery pushes it too far past fig for me. I don’t know if it’s just the base from cirrus that I don’t like/am not used to and that’s why this isn’t for me. I do plan to wear it a few more times (I’ve worn it twice now) to see if it could grow on me. Overall, It isn’t for me but I might try other fig perfumes too and see how I feel about it after I come back to it.
