Sirena

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 :).

At first i got this fragrance as a sample and was not expecting to fall in love with it, but as soon as i sprayed it onto my skin, i was hooked. The scent is so delicate and airy, the best way to describe it is a dreamy watery floral scent. I could smell the burst of pink flowers and sea water mixed together when i first sprayed it, and it dried down into a slight more fresh version of the top notes, but still kinda sweet somehow. It is very well blended. Makes me very happy everytime i sniff my self wearing it, and I never really smell anything like this before. So if Tom Ford Soleil Blanc makes you feel like youre chilling at the boujee beach club drinking some coconut cocktails, this Floris Sirena will make you feel more like you are literally dipping in the middle of the sea with some floating flowers around you. It is feminine and low key alluring, i couldnt agree more that they named it Sirena. It is just so beautiful that i couldnt help my self to get the full bottle after a week. On my skin it stays around 4-5 hours until i need to reapply it, the sillage is very moderate and almost skin scent like, but it doesnt matter because it smells too good!

Very, very light, and smells like the seaside on a Mediterranean summer day. Beautiful, happy scent, but only perceptible as an actual scent when you let people smell the nozzle on the bottle and they're like, 'oh yeah, that's what you smell of!' Very intimate sillage, but lasts much, much longer on fabric!

So different from other Floris fragrances, and I think better. A bit too light for me but still love it. Marine in an urban chic kind of way.

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"
