Sirène

Final Update: I finished off my sample and could NOT get this scent off of my mind. So, I purchased a bottle tonight! Waiting on arrival...it arrived and now, this is my all time favorite fragrance hands down. This has replaced TF LC as my signature scent. It's soo delicious, I can't get enough of it. It's just the right amount of sweet (on me) with hints of Strawberry, which is not a listed ingredient. I was at a store, and one of the guys working the floor that I know well and often chat with said, "Who smells so good? Is it you? Yes, it is you! Omg, you smell sooo divine!" Then, his eyeballs went up to the back of his head as he feigned fainting/melting lol. I need to purchase some back-up bottles 🩷. I think my first experience with this, where I said it was Oud heavy and very masculine, was due to sampling other scents heavy with Oud so those particles were still in my nose. This is definitely feminine on me. Edit: I tried this again and I had to delete my earlier comments that this was awful, nothing but Oud on me and I was glad I didn't absolutely love it. Second try, I sprayed it over the 3 cherry perfumes I had layered earlier, that had faded. BUT, I also sprayed some on my clothes this time bc I read someone say it smelled completely different on clothing for them. Idk if it's just a mix with my other perfumes, but NOW I get the hype. I'm definitely getting all scent notes this time around, including a bit of strawberry someone else mentioned (not in scent notes). Everything is blended so nicely! First impression could have been altered due to me smelling a lot of other scents before sampling this. Loving it now... I will purchase a travel decant, to keep testing, before committing to a full bottle 😃 Woke up next day to this scent lingering on my sleep shirt and it's just soooo good! I want it! Cherry & pepper lasted all of 3 minutes on me, then it went straight into the middle notes of oud, lactones & incense. This is where it stayed (on me) with hints of the base notes coming through. I have to agree with those who say this leans more masculine on them. Testing Sirène confirmed some of my thoughts & made me realize how most fragrance Youtubers (etc) are mostly hype. It's a nice perfume but just not for me.

boy do i have a lot to say about this scent. but i guess i should start from the beginning. when this was first announced, i had literally no interest at all in trying it out. even though it came in a beautiful bottle, when i saw that it was a cherry scent, i couldn't have cared less about trying it. i credit this to the cherry craze that was kickstarted by tf's lost cherry and the ensuing incredibly mediocre cherry releases. trying disappointing cherry perfume, after disappointing cherry perfume started to tire me out so i swore off cherry entirely. then one day i decided to randomly purchase a sample after watching a review on youtube. when it arrived, i couldn't believe that i had finally found the cherry fragrance for me. this had zero traces of lost cherry. it was original and not like anything i had smelled before. it was a sweet, creamy cherry, with incense and spice. much to the dismay of my wallet, i fell in love. when i was wearing it, i couldn't stop smelling, and when i wasn't wearing it, i couldn't stop thinking about it. so, after some saving and more contemplating, i decided i needed to have it and purchased a full bottle. however, on delivery day, it was dropped off at the wrong house. after two weeks of arguing with the postal service, i was FINALLY offered a replacement bottle by the incredible stockist (if you live in Australia, i highly recommend Oligarch, their customer service is amazing and you'd be supporting a POC owned small business). THEN, the day before the new delivery day, my neighbours (who i'm assuming were just really busy for 2 weeks lol) dropped off the bottle i had ordered at my door step. so i now have two full bottles of one of the most beautiful fragrances i've smelled. if that isn't good luck, i don't know what is. nothing but positive thoughts will be associated with this scent from now on and i feel incredibly lucky. all of this to say, if you think you're also over cherry fragrances and haven't tried this yet, give it a try if you can. you might, like me, find your cherry scent and you might also get some good luck along with it.

I initially didn’t own any fragrances from FDB because I didn’t feel like they were a good match for me. I blind bought Sirene because of the bottle and also the hope that this will agree with my skin. While I can still smell the FDB DNA, personally I think this is their best fragrance! It starts off fruity, creamy and a tad spicy. The cherry in it is juicy and ripe, and I can definitely see the comparison to a fruity jam. A couple of hours laters it turns darker and mysterious, having the oud make its presence felt. This is a very pleasant oud nonetheless, very sophisticated and elegant. I think this fragrance is a 10/10, incredibly beautiful and well-rounded. It’s a mix of bright-fruity and dark-woody. I highly suggest sampling it beforehand because the oud might still be too much for some. Also, it seems that it’s quite a polarizing scent, pulling very differently on our skin. *Test wear update* While I do need to test it more, so far I feel that in terms of projection, it radiates within arm length, and 3-4h hours later it ends up sitting closer to the skin. It does last a long time on clothes (8h+), but it becomes a subtle scent. I have tested it while outside twice so far, once with 3 sprays and today with 8. The first time it was barely noticeable, I had to let my fragrance friends know that it was *the* new perfume and they only picked up on it once they sniffed my neck. The second time it projected at about an arm's length and then 3-4h later, as mentioned above, it sat closer to the skin. Not all perfumes need to be a heavy hitter, but I feel like this should perform much better than it actually does. The bottle is pretty and gentle, with the fragrance being bold and heavy, however the performance matches the bottle, non-invasive and delicate. Personally, I would have liked it to match the scent and be a bold, loud perfume, but I think they wanted to play it safe and created something more mass appealing and easy to wear.

Buckle up for this review! I saw this getting popular on that side of TikTok and wasn’t sure if it was for me as I’m a woman that likes feminine scents but this sounded VERY feminine. I actually bought this on a whim as it was the last one that the store I was in had and I knew if it sold out it would be a long time before coming back in stock. I was originally at the store for other perfumes but of course had to try it and WOWOWOWOWOWOW!! The way they’ve crafted this is truly incredible, exactly how you’d think an actual siren would work their magic. First musky sweet cherry and floral notes that classic feminine girly smell, FLIRTY! Think of light giggles, marshmallows, leaning in but not touching skin. Then after a good few minutes that oud creeps in, that cherry gets darker, richer, sweeter, you’re leaning in closer and closer, maybe an accidental brush of skin, the world slows and gets darker while you’re focused on this one person, you know you should step back but before you know it you’re in a trance. You get seduced, at first it was fun and flirty but you feel yourself being dragged to the deep ocean, you know what’s happening to you but the smell is so addictive you don’t care. You go all the way... down. In ecstasy of being in a delicious trance, then after they’re done with you you smell this light and bright cherry come back lifting you from the depths and your heads above the water, you can breath though that dark sexy cherry scent still lingers. I love perfumes that tell and takes me on stories and adventures and boy is this an adventure! Very strong projection I only spray 3 times tops! Lasts ALL DAY, I keep the box and all because of how beautiful it is and I know I’ll enjoy this one forever!

I bought this fragrance because of the name, I kid you not. In last year’s game of the year masterpiece Clair Obscur:Expedition 33, there’s a massive Axon named Sirène, known as She Who Plays With Wonder. She’s mesmerizing in the most dangerous way possible - she gets inside your head, shows you what you long to see, and creates illusions so vivid and beautiful that reality itself starts to feel uncertain. Everything about that section of the game stayed with me: the haunting music, the dreamlike worldbuilding, the elegance mixed with unease. I was completely captivated by it. So when I came across a fragrance carrying the name Sirene, I immediately thought of that character and decided to give it a try. I honestly didn’t expect to like it as much as I did, especially as a guy, but there was something incredibly magnetic about it. To me, this smells like someone who is effortlessly confident and comfortable in her own skin. A woman who doesn’t care about fitting neatly into expectations or trends, because she’s too busy carving out her own path. She’s attractive without trying too hard, sensual without being overpowering, elegant but still grounded and approachable. The kind of person who can turn heads one moment and laugh at herself the next. There’s a softness and beauty to this scent, but also a quiet confidence underneath it that makes it feel alive and memorable rather than just “pretty.” It has that same enchanting quality the game’s Sirène had - alluring, immersive, and impossible not to be drawn toward. Absolutely beautiful scent.

Blind bought Sirene, but before delivery I stopped by the niche store to test on skin and loved it. Also tested on paper and loved it. Still very risky to blind buy because it isn't safe. It's sensual and the oud is prominent, but not foul, with a medicinal undertone more so to stand out. Sirene is similar to Mula Mula Rouge's smoky oud but different in that its fruity composition lacks brighter berries. The compared medicinal accord is also short-lived in here, to smoothen into a strawberry-cherry, creamy wood. I can see the association to an incensed cherry sweetened by Kilian LDBS's caramel syrup texture. I'm sure the benzoin is what's creating that effect. Also, the lactones for smoothness. This is majority of the wear for me, lasting at least 7 hours, becoming mostly incensed wood towards the end. I wore it daytime in spring, moderate sunny weather and it was not cloying surprisingly, but it still packed a presence and trail. The oud wants to be heavy but the musk prevents it. It still is medium-heavy in its density. With two sprays on one arm, the projection was probably two feet while being still. Although I can wear it both day and night, this is something I will wear more at night to go out. Though I have been wearing it out whenever since receiving it. I'm also happy this comes in a compact 75 mL, instead of the bulkier 100 mL.

Got a sample of this perfume which offered me about a 5 day wear and here is my honest review: IT HAS ME IN A CHOCKE HOLD! Beautiful creamy cherry, sweet with a touch of spice from the pepper. The best way I would describe it is if you had the most pure creamy ice cream made from fresh cherries and you are eating it while walking down a candle lit street, while the night is just a tad bit cold. It is such a sophisticated and sexy way to present a milky-sweet cherry fragrance. The spice is really subtle but there enough to tone down the sweetness and turn it into an EXPERIENCE. Never have I ever smelled something similar to this when it comes to cherry. Deffentatly the most organic, long lasting and radiating perfume. Over the 5 days i wore it i got complimented EVERY SINGLE TIME! Now in all honestly, the thing which holds me back from purchasing it is the price-point. In my country it retails for 340 USD which i just find to be TOO expensive, I think i would have to go back for another round of the tester version of this perfume in order to conclude and make a final decision , so who knows it might become a part of my permanent collection!

I’ve reviewed this already, but I wanted to come back and say this has become one of my favorites if not my favorite fragrance ever (I’m still debating between this & Delina Exclusif) ... to me it opens with spun sugar, cherries and cream in addition to a mesmerizing presence of incense and oud. Perfume is such an experience that everybody gets something different. I typically dislike cherry perfumes because they smell Medicinal/Cough syrup and Sharp to me but this is one of the only cherry fragrances I enjoy. You definitely have to try it for yourself.. The base notes don’t come off overwhelming nor too masculine to me. It’s a luxurious take on a gourmande. You have to like OUD with this one. To sum it up this is - Feminine & Sultry cherry combined with charming sugar and cream. Equally mysterious and also undeniably unisex. Longevity and sillage are above average with this one. It’s still wafting in my closet from spraying it on two days ago.

The best cherry fragrance I have come across yet. They say it is for women but as a 37 year old dude, I love this stuff. Wow. Bright but also deep somehow, cherry blast at the beginning. Not medicinal or cloying like a lot of cherries. Soooo addicting. And then the slight oud dry down is phenomenal and makes it super unisex imo. If this had a musky and/or floral dry down I would be sad because the cherry with that would be too feminine for my tastes. But this does not do that. It dries down perfectly. It is expensive, but I found it much cheaper than retail on olfactoryfactory and was 100% worth the price. Excellent projection and longevity for me. And the presentation is excellent. Overall I give it a 9/10. Oh, and you can wear this in any weather, any time of year, any time of day, any occasion. Super versatile imo. Who doesn't wanna smell like a rich beautiful dark but somehow bright as well cherry?! Muah. Chef's kiss.

Agreeing with the review below. I do not get the strawberry milky vibe that influencers are talking about and don’t detect any lactonic notes. On my skin it pulls very woody and spicy with the oud being very prominent. The bottle is absolutely stunning but the feminine pink design does not match the fragrance. If I had to put a color on it, it would be a rich crimson. I also feel it leans masculine, personally too masculine for me. Unfortunately not a great blind buy for me. I’d definitely recommend getting a sample first. The cherry (that smells more like unspecific berry) doesn’t last and you’re left with just another mildly sweet woody spicy oud. Projection and longevity is not strong, it sits very close to the skin. Regretting blind buying off the influencer hype hearing it described as a sweet lactonic gourmand, when will I learn 😂 please don’t listen to paid or gifted influencers, you will be disappointed like me.

So I absolutely love the smell of this. It's warm and juicy and spicy and smokey. It smells luxurious. But I don't like it on me, I don't think. I got a sample and sprayed it on my wrists and I can't stop smelling them. I do LOVE the smell but I don't think it fits with my personality. Or something. It smells expensive. Like I said, it's a beautiful scent but I'd never buy a bottle because I don't think I'd wear it. Perhaps I feel like it suits a black tie event. Something sophisticated and fancy. And I'm...not sophisticated or fancy. Haha. I think the scent is 10/10 definitely though, suiting men or women. Definitely a winter or autumn scent and I definitely see it being a nighttime scent. If you're going to a gala where you wear a gown or tux, this would be perfect. I'd love to try to convince my husband to wear it but he's not a fan of oud. If you like cherry, oud, and spicy-incensy smells, you'll like it!

Update: I've been wearing my sample almost everyday. I ended up buying another sample and then I found a full bottle for a good price and so I brought it. Needless to say, I really enjoy the scent. I find the scent last a long time on my hair and projects throughout the day. So I've made peace with it's performance. :) I really like the scent, however the opening lasts only about 10 mins on my skin, and the mid to drydown gives me similar vibes to Tomavicci Zenobia (black currant instead of cherry and has some leather) and a more softer, feminine version of Montale Infinity. The thing is both of these out perform Sirène. I can't justify the price for this fragrance personally. I can see a previous reviewer @Bibssramos has said Sirène reminds them of La Capitale. Many reviewers have said that Zenobia reminds them of La Capitale, so maybe my nose isn't broken. :)

an underrated true unisex fragrace. tested once wearing for a day and got compliments from men and women. once i told them im wearing a niche "women" perfume, they didnt believe me since the scent they percived leaned slightly masculine, maybe was the incense and oud notes .as a guy i dont have any problem pull off this scent , except its difficult flex that pink bottle on social media haha i was looking for the best cherry fragrance and finally found it. its fresh, creamy, floral in the opening with a tart sweet cherry on top, without a dose of almonds unlike the rest of cherries fragrances. Edit: the more i wear it the scent the more reminds me of cherry/ strawberry milkis (a korean yogurt soda) . i think Asians would love this type of fragrance

this perfume straight up smells like an unapologetically seductive woman. the kind that makes you anxious just by standing next to her. there are many sides to this fragrance, the side that gives you hope and tells you “come closer” and the side that makes you its servant. a woman who’s presence is addictive and narcotic. the desire is so strong it makes you nauseous. this is how i feel about this perfume... about the notes, imagine a dark cherry, you eat it thinking it’s just a regular cherry. it turns out to be the cherry that gives you the highest high of your life you find yourself in the depths of the forest. although i have to mention, a medicinal feeling also exists in this fragrance. one of the perfumes you need to test before buying.

All the reviews had left me very skeptical of this fragrance especially because cherry and oud are two notes that don't work for me. Oud makes me feel sickly and cherry gives me a headache. However, in this composition they work incredibly well together and do not overpower each other. The cherry is sweet and smooth in the opening and then the oud blooms after about an hour on my skin while the cherry becomes softer but is still present. I have sampled pretty much all the popular cherry fragrances there are (tom ford, cherry punk, vicebomb, french defense, and another one) this one is the one I ended up purchasing a full bottle of. Simone Andreolis Vicebomb was my other choice until I sampled Sirene. Excellently done.

The bottle may suggest a regular sweet cherry fragrance, but it isn’t. On my skin it opens with a fruity oud that immediately reveals a deep, juicy red cherry that is attractive, structured, and mysterious. As it evolves, the oud softens and the cherry shows a slightly sharper, more acidic edge, creating a contrast between juicy sweetness and subtle bite. The drydown is silky: Warm, with a creamy, soft texture. A gentle wood supports the fruit without overpowering it. Sirène is a warm, fruity, softly woody and highly mysterious fragrance. It encourages the woman who wears it to embrace her most sensual side. Projection: 9/10 Longevity: 8/10 Sillage: Moderate Profile: Fruity Gourmand. Not sugary or "edible" character.

I have this and before knowing the notes I thought it smelled like a strawberry starburst with musk and whipped cream mixed with a bit of Erba Pura and honestly the notes kind of reflect that! The oud is not very strong and animalic but it does have a good lasting power, I will update it when I wore it for a few more days. UPDATE After wearing it for two weeks, it is a cherry fragrances with lactonic notes, it smells milky and fruity at the start, with tarte notes of cherry and some sort of sweetness, strawberry almost, dry down is woody and a bit spicy on me, oud and benzoin come trough the most, it is beautiful and very long lasting. A bold scent for those that can pull it off.

The cherry and the oud work so perfectly together here. It’s a smoky rather than woody scent with presence so you gotta be that kind of person. I got Sirene as a decant and found myself reaching for it repeatedly and I didn’t expect it to be so addicting. Massive compliment getter which I also didn’t expect.. A guy at a gas station told me I smell good. I didn’t think the scent would have projected that far in the cold open air but it did...it’s gorgeous and I love getting little whiffs of it throughout the day. I am not an over sprayer and I can see this being headache inducing if you go too far. That said I ordered a full bottle because when my decant is empty I will miss it.

This fragrance is without a doubt one of my absolute favourites. A captivating blend of cherry, sensuality, confidence and allure. On my skin, it has exceptional longevity, with a remarkable trail that never goes unnoticed. If that matters to you, I can assure you that every time I wear it, I receive multiple compliments. This fragrance is not for the timid. It is bold, seductive and unapologetically feminine. If you embrace your confident, powerful, and alluring era, you will fall in love with it. The sweetness is balanced, enough to enhance its addictive character. For special occasions, I would pair it with one spray of HM , and Lord, you will be simply irresistible.

Sirène is immediately sensual and feminine, yet the oud and incense give it a refreshing, daring edge. the opening is smoky and intense—a powerful oud that wraps you in mystery. as it melts into the skin, the sweet, juicy brightness of cherry emerges, creating a captivating contrast. the sweetness of the cherry feels playful and uplifting, yet it’s balanced by the smooth, smoky sensuality of incense and creamy benzoin. The base of earthy moss and labdanum adds a touch of warmth and depth, leaving an impression that’s both sweet and sultry. Sirène is a perfect blend of softness and strength—a true modern feminine statement. I will be purchasing a full bottle x 🩷
