Today, I tried Parakeet from Cirrus Parfum. This is an EdP, with a light blue color. I believe the color is naturally coming from the blue chamomile essential oil listed in the natural ingredients. I was really interested in trying this because people have touted it’s super realistic feather note. I have never owned birds so I’m unfamiliar but I do like them a lot and I don’t mind grapefruit. 

Notes: Fizzy grapefruit soda, freshly picked daisies, tiny forget-me-nots, and the powdery sweet down feathers of a well groomed parakeet

This smells EXACTLY like grapefruit juice. Like how orange juice has a bit of a tang and you can tell it smells different from cut up oranges, it smells like fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. It smelled like that the entire time but it may be because it got on my clothes mostly. I have tried this twice now and both times it just smelled like that orange juice/grapefruit juice smell. I don’t get any daisies, though I don’t know what that would smell like, to be honest. I do think I sort of get a base musk that I feel like I can smell in other cirrus perfumes but I don’t know if this is the feather note. I wonder if I am anosmic to animalic/fur musks because I feel like I am really struggling to recognize them in perfumes. I might wear this one a few more times and spray my wrists so I can take deeper whiffs throughout the day. I don’t dislike this perfume, its just not what I expected.
