Sirena from Floris!
I like sirens and love the sea since I was a child.
I usually don’t search for “mermaids” perfumes as they are aquatic and I’m not a fan of this category.
A friend sent me a sample because of my curiosity to see how it smells.
For me is a dislike one unfortunately because I find it so very plain…just a fruity musk which they are thousands around us.
So, nothing special, really.
Try before buying.
Cheerioz…

Oh, lovely–just like anything I have from Floris! This is definately a summer fragrance for me. Added it to my list of “Want Its”

I would have bought it blind earlier because I had a special crush for Sirena at the moment I saw the notes and the bottle (and the name too 🙂 ), but as I have many other “crushes” waiting on my wishlist, it remained on delay. But now as I got the chance to test it on my skin I realised all my anticipations were good: I must have this scent as soon as possible.
Why do I need Sirena?
Because summer is near, and this scent is full of vitality and freshness – so much needed in warmer days. A perfume for the day, that doesn`t impose a particular style, it is not complicated, nor restrictive. Sirena is like a refreshing breeze on the shore mixed with delicate flowers.
It`s crispy side comes from an intense note of seawater that gives me the impression I swim in a clear water through coral reefs and tiny colorful fishes. I also get the pepper, red berry juice and peony, all famous for their freshness, so the mixture remains as it begins: joyfull and fresh.
But Sirena (which means mermaid) is not a deadly mermaid as a symbol of seduction, but rather a cartoonish version, harmless, that mermaid with the long red hair…what is her name…Ariel?
The scent is intense and I can feel it the whole day on my skin. Lively, cheerful, it has tones of charm and will definitely accompany me to the beach.
I`ll probably even color my hair red because of it :).

I tried this perfume a couple of weeks ago but have put off reviewing it because of a problem which has vexed me on several occasions and is not unique to Floris: The dreaded problem of the unmarked vial. I’m not talking about “hand-decanted” vials such as one may receive from friends in a swap. I am talking about manufacturer-carded samples which state the house name but do not offer the name of the perfume directly on the vial.
This turns out to be confusing to someone like me who likes to test a perfume as thoroughly as possible before reviewing. Why? Because once off the card, I tend to just set the vial down, and if I’ve been testing other perfumes of that house (which I usually am, see: OCD), then they all become confused in a jumble, and I have to try to figure out which perfume was what. I believe that I have succeeded in distinguishing Sirena from Seringa today, but only because I happened by chance to have a fully labeled vial of Seringa on hand, which made it possible to compare them side-by-side.
The worst example of this problem occurred when I ordered a whole bunch of Montale carded samples, and six or eight of them came off their cards in transit. Other offenders: Illuminum and Krigler. No perfume titles on the vials. Note to perfume houses: PLEASE just say “yes” to individually printed vials!!!!!! End of mini-rant.
So, Sirena. From the get-go, it wasn’t likely to be a winner in my perfume book, as it is classified as floral marine. However, I have been pleasantly surprised to find that really it smells like a bunch of flower petals tossed across the surface of a pond. It does not smell like all of those horrid aquatics which literally turn my stomach, inducing a queasiness akin to that which may arise during a long ship ride through troubled waters. To my nose, Sirena veers much closer to the twenty-first-century category of abstract floral perfume. It’s not really a sweet-laundry or industrial-clean scent, but it definitely has an abstract edge and will no doubt be winning over Sephora customers to this classic British house, established in 1730, long before nearly any other perfume house in existence.
Floris seems to have a reputation for being a bit dowdy, but they are holding their own and making changes in their line-up to accommodate market-molded transformations in the tastes of consumers, who for a variety of reasons are becoming more and more accustomed to fragrances made without the sacrifice of plant life. I do believe that some plant life was sacrificed in the production of Sirena, but it strikes a middle ground between the old and the new. The borrowed and the blue. That kind of thing…

This scent lives on me as a 6h-8h scent. Smells like flowers or seashore or seashore with something that managed to bloom there, low-key and nice. I like it, but can’t really say it is one of my favourites.

The Sirens of Greek mythology are portrayed as aquatic and mermaid creatures.Floris Sirena captures that picture,of sea magic and mermaids.The combination of gold and light blue on the bottle anticipates the result.I totally smell the aquatic notes,soft flowers and sea breeze.It shares the same cold feeling as Syringa and Bouquet de la Reine,which I appreciate.Sirena is a calm,magical place somewhere in a tropical island,sea breeze,soft rose and peony and a hint of musk at the drydown.Very sophisticated,not ”summery suntan scent”,etheral,poetic,just like a water-nymph.

This smelled more marine-fruity to me than floral. The fragrance is “okay” but I would have liked it to be more flowery. It’s not harsh and the staying power is about medium.
