Sirenis

I’ve found my samplings of Secretions Magnifiques strangely fascinating, haunting, and certainly memorable, not unpleasant but not like a wearable feminine perfume, although it’s not all male secretions. So I had to get this, also lured by the beautiful name and the colour like a mermaid’s grotto. Tipping that it would be a feminine and wearable SM, and I’m right! She’s a nasty little mermaid, playing with her eviscerated ocean prey and throwing bull kelp around to keep her strength up for hauling out when the brine soaked ships come by, singing her songs of sweet flowers and milky bodily irresistible temptations drawn out of the very soul of the sea and men. However I feel this one is for advanced fumies who are in love with the ocean and all its delights. It’s also not a million miles away from my other great blind buy this year, The Ghost in the Shell. Oysters, saliva, how lovers smell entwined on the sand after an ocean swim. Taking a wetsuit off, helping a surfer peel off after he’s been out for hours, smells like his face and mouth washed by seawater. Hell I’m gonna go and spray more. As delightful as the sweet dry down is, the nasty tempting story telling milky eyed mermaid has me entranced. Edited to add, the notes listed don’t make much sense to me, it’s strongly marine with quite a bit of salt and muguet florals. The soil-y herbs clarey sage and genet give it a dark planty feel.

When i read the notes I thought this would be masculine and sharp, I was very wrong. There is a bit of an herbaceous initial blast that quickly fades into a soft, slightly salty marine note. As it dries down, soft, white florals mixed with some herbs come forward with the marine note, more like salt water in the background. Ultimately Sirenis becomes a skin scent with musk, soft flowers and herbs, and just a little bit of the marine accord. It is unique, understated, more feminine aquatic scent. The marine note and herbs reminds me a bit of Davidoff Cool Water, but soft. Not linear or simple. Perfect for warmer weather and wearable in an office environment. My only mild criticism is that it doesn't have a ton of lasting power (personally, I am ok reapplying). I found this to be the case for other Liquides Imaginaires scents as well.

Very cosmetic, remember me of the cosmo e note that there Is also in allure senuelle and poison Dior 2007. The marine note Is prominente and the "transparent flower" Is a mix of Jasmin and Iris. I like it although ita feminine. It has face were bergamot, sage, oak Moss and sandali that gives the freshness of an aftershave. Like when you arrive tò the beach After a long cartrip and your dad has put on acqua di Gio and your mother a flower scented sun-screen. The nostalgia put this smell to a Favignana vacation or a beach shower and you use a Sea shower gel and a floral conditioner. 9/10 safe to blind buy, Just overpriced. Not too strong sillage,maybe 2 meters of sillage when you walk, one arm when you stand still, It last 24+ hours on skin qithout showering. At least 12 sprays raccomended

this is a really impressive marine scent... one of the most forwardly marine scents ive tried. the opening was beautiful... so marine and fresh. the middle part was a little tougher for me, the lingering marine notes made an almost too realistic impression of the beach in the summer that ended up smelling a little like sunscreen on my skin as the floral notes came out more; the only context i could ever wear this is in the middle of a summer day at the beach, anything other than that would be very confusing for me. and the drydown is beautiful... the musk and moss notes come out better and it blends beautifully with the light floral notes and the lingering marine notes. absolutely gorgeous perfume overall, it is just hard to wear because it is highly context specific.

I agree, this is definitely aquatic. It smells just like the colour of the bottle. Don’t be discouraged by the thought of fishy. It smells like the ocean breeze with a slightly mossy, musky tinge which makes it very pleasing and wearable. It appealed to my husband who simply said I smell wonderful. He’s quite picky with my perfumes and this comment was unsolicited and unexpected. I’m wearing it in cold weather. It performs quite well. Lasts a decent amount of time. I’m very happy with it. Curious to see how it goes in the heat. It might bring out the more fishy, animalic notes. I’m hoping more florals but it’s so well blended it’s hard to pick any one note. It’s totally its own smell.
