Today, I tried Fall Creek, an edP from Cirrus Parfum. I got a set of 5 and this is the last one I haven’t tried and reviewed, aside from my freebie, Alibi. I have seen pretty torn opinions on this one, with some saying it smells like a very masculine cologne and some saying it smells like a really realistic atmospheric forest scent. I bought it in hopes of the latter. The perfume also includes in-house sourced fir tree oil which is cool and I like fir in perfumes. 

Notes: Ice water, grand fir tips, jammy fir absolute, mossy river rocks, and a faint trail of some unknown wildflowers

This is definitely a realistic forest smell. It smells incredible. I can smell damp earth, mushrooms, fallen leaves and actual fresh air from a forest. I am really surprised by how delightful this smells. The reviews of people saying it smelled like cologne worried me and I was prepared for the worst. I can see how it may pull a bit cologne like/masculine like a blue type scent but that might be from the tree/fir note. It was a super nice cool overcast day today and it paired perfectly with this scent. I love atmospheric smells and I am super happy with this. It reminds me of a fall version of Hexennacht’s Mephistopholes, which is one of my favorites. This one doesn’t have a smokiness that Mephistopholes does. I will say that this one does not last as long as my other Cirrus perfumes have or other perfumes in general. I can’t smell it on my skin after 6 hours, which is a long time but I have been spoiled by other perfumes. On my clothes, it has faded mostly but still lingering slightly, and smells a bit more like a cologne. The listing for Fall Creek on the site describes it as slightly masculine and I would agree. It is still easily gender neutral and just a good atmospheric.
