Duomo

wow

smelling this just days after returning from Milan was jarring! this is a dead accurate interpretation of the combination of stone, incense, and warmth within the Duomo.

like church, without the trauma

This isn’t what I would normally go for, but I’m glad I tried it! I’m by no means a scent expert, but when it first went on I got wafts of incense and it dried down to this really lovely peppery surprise. It’s not an every day scent for me personally, but I could see it being for special occasions, or something like a Pride party. The contrast of a scent that reminds me of the structure and heaviness of church combined with the bacchanalia of pride is so tempting. Maybe that’s the religious trauma talking. Definitely recommend at least a sample size!

Incense Lovers Rejoice

As an incense lover (my top fave note) this feels like a warm hug in a cathedral vibe - in general there's a warmth to Cirrus fragrances that you can tell is made with love and a distinct vision to each creation. This along with Maid Marian are my top favorites - truly a great brand!
