Enforced Modesty

Enforced Modesty

By: Cirrus Parfum

General Notes

  • fig leaf
  • green mandarin
  • ivy
  • laurel
  • purple lilac
  • ripening fig
  • thyme

This fragrance was inspired by the fig leaf campaign of Pope Benedict XVI in which it was decided that nudity in art was not morally acceptable. Famously this resulted in many statues, particularly male nudes having their genitals covered with plaster fig leaves and/or being chiseled off entirely. In an interesting twist, the Vatican kept most of the removed phalluses and there is now a team of scholars in Italy that are working to match the stray wieners with their original owners, thereby restoring art that was vandalized by the church in the name of Christian propriety.
