Alibi

A tropical fruit salad in a glass, sweet enough to feel like getting away with something.

The story is fruit at its most generous: passionfruit and guava cut wide open on the counter, juice running everywhere, orange blossom drifting in from a window left ajar. A tall glass of strawberry lemonade sweats on the table, sharpened by yuzu, softened by a spoon of coconut cream. Underneath it all, rosewood holds the whole picture steady so the fruit never tips into candy. The mood is radiant, a little mischievous, the kind of sweetness that stays believable.

Wearing it feels like an afternoon off, sun on bare shoulders, no questions asked. Plays beautifully with warm skin in summer, with linen, with anything that asks for a soft alibi after a long week.

Notes: Passionfruit, Orange Blossom, Guava, Strawberry Yuzu Lemonade, Coconut Cream, Rosewood

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.
