Doe Eyed

Long nights and short weekends at the border of childhood and adulthood.

On weekends a group of friends hung out in the furnished basement of one friend's parents, the walls clad in the 1970s cedar panelling everyone else had ripped out by now. They loved leaning against its warmth, singing while that friend played the guitar. Figuring life out together and having fun doing it. They were all going to different colleges in the fall, and a sadness simmered just under the surface of their excitement for what was to come.

Dark cherry and iris sit with orris butter. Vetiver comes alongside, and lamb's wool with ground sesame.

They were young. They had been told these would be the best years of their lives, and they looked forward to the adventures college would bring. But of course, they already knew everything.

Cirrus Parfum is a small-batch independent perfumery from San Antonio, Texas, creating original oil and alcohol-based fragrances designed for all genders.

Founded by self-taught perfumer Zoey Lake after years of exploring perfume and seeking more soulful, story-driven scents, the brand treats fragrance as wearable art that connects deeply to memory and emotion.

Cirrus Parfum focuses on accessible yet elegant compositions that blend in-house distilled materials, naturals, and sophisticated aromachemicals instead of generic fragrance oils.

Named for the high, delicate cirrus clouds that catch and amplify light, the brand aims for its perfumes to gently illuminate the wearer’s own style rather than overpower it.
