Today, I tested Cirrus Parfum’s The Idea of You, an EdP. I am interested in exploring perfumes with cannabis as a note. I am also not familiar with hinoki but I wanted to try that out, too. 

Notes: hinoki, cannabis terpenes, ocean mist, aldehydes, mimosa blossom, tonka bean, deer musk accord(vegan)

This scent is super refreshing and green! It really feels like fresh air and the color green. I wonder how much of this is hinoki. I get a prominent green melon note that is present in typical aquatic scents. It’s in the same category as like melon or cucumber scents. I do get the cannabis terpenes as well, it actually smells a lot more noticeable and realistic than I expected but it’s not too much. It’s kinda like “oh that kinda smells like weed but it could just be some skunky greenery” and it blends in well with the other notes. The combination results in a nice green summery fragrance. This doesn’t smell like a cologne to me either, its a nice unisex scent. After the dry down, it fades to a melon and musky scent. I think the deer musk is what comes through but it smells comforting and nice, not gross or fecal or anything. I don’t know what deer musk is supposed to smell like but I definitely smell a nice musk at the end. 

I feel like it is unlike other perfumes that I have and I really like it. I am excited to wear this more this coming summer.
