Siren

OMG! Im a male, and even I love this fragrance! The fragrances that I own by Paris Hilton are as follows Paris Hilton Siren Paris Hilton Dazzle Paris Hilton Fairy Dust Paris Hilton Man Paris Hilton Heir For Men Paris Hilton Just Me For Men Paris Hilton Passport South Beach Paris Hilton Passport Tokyo Paris Hilton Passport St. Moritz Paris Hilton Passport Paris So I am quite experienced with Paris Hilton's fragrances. And I gotta tell you all...Paris Hilton Siren, Paris Hilton Man, and Paris Hilton Passport Paris are my three favorites by her! Siren smells amazing!! It ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY, smells double as expensive as it is! I'm in complete surprise everytime I go to buy it, and its on amazon for $16-$18 for the big 3.4 ounce bottle. It perfect. Not too sweet, not too light, not too cloying or headache-inducing, etc. I wore this to the gym (and I do tend to spray a lot of my fragrances on me so that others can smell it too,) and it's so funny because two big black guys, which stereotypically aren't guys you would think would buy or wear a female fragrance on their own...legit came up to me, told me how good I smelled, and asked what I wore. I simply replied, "Oh thanks! But uhhh...are you sure you wanna know what I have on? lol." They said yes, so I told them and they were SHOCKED as their exact words were, "What cologneeee do you have on?" lol. Long story short, they both ended up buying it. THATS HOW GOOD THIS SMELLS GUYS!! Lasts about 3/3.5 hours on me. Projection actually is very good on me. People up to 3 FEET away from me have approached me about what I have on. TRY IT!!! $16-$18 ON AMAZON!

Siren is a light yet syrupy apricot-honeysuckle scent. At the beginning, you also get a bit of frangipani which gives it a tropical vibe. Very fitting to have a mermaid as the concept of this scent as it evokes an image of an apricot-infused island breeze. A lot of people seem to be arguing back and forth about whether this smells like Juicy Couture's Viva la Juicy. Personally, I think it's correct to say that Siren REMINDS us of Viva la Juicy. It most certainly is in that family of sweet white florals. And that's a key word. "Remind" does not equal "is exactly the same." Nevertheless, Siren did surprise me in that is is incredibly similar to VLJ. The main difference of course, is the heavy, juicy (yet sometimes rubbery?) apricot. Because of that, Siren is not much like VLJ at all at first spray. But don't make a hasty judgement yet! Wait, give it some time and then you'll start to get a very familiar, sweet honeysuckle floral mixed with vanillary sugar. Siren is NOT Viva la Juicy. However, it is pretty damn similar. It doesn't have the berry, praline, or the caramel notes but it still comes very close thanks to the prominent vanilla and sugary honeysuckle. It is also quite powdery, which adds to the similarity. Honestly, I think Siren is a very pleasant scent and much more interesting than Viva la Juicy as it has more personality (a tropical apricot-frangipani turning into a sweet vanilla honeysuckle whereas VLJ stays the same and is soo commonplace). Highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for an easy wearing spring-summer scent.

As a mermaid artist, I've been on a quest to find that perfect mermaid inspired perfume and decided to give Siren a try (since the Ariel perfume by Sephora was disgusting). I've been wearing Paris' first perfume, Paris Hilton as my signature scent since I was 18 so I felt pretty confident about buying another one of her fragrances. Wow... I don't know how to really feel about Siren. On one hand, I really love the scent, love it so much that I spray it on me multiple times a day. On the other hand, it's SO light that I HAVE to spray it on multiple times a day! I really do enjoy the delicious, creamy, juicy scent of vanilla, apricot, and honeysuckle that I get from this. HOWEVER... It doesn't last! It's super weak! The staying power has to be the worst out of any celebrity perfume I've tried recently, even worse than Minajesty Exotic! After about 15 minutes, the scent is gone. The stillage is pretty bad... Less than an arm's length. I suspect they lied about this being an Eau de Perfume... It's more of an Eau du Toilette or even a cologne... Definitely not a perfume. On the bright side, it was super cheap at $10.86 for a 1.7oz. bottle. Perhaps I'll buy the lotion to layer with this to see if it lasts longer... Not sure if I'll rebuy once I run out within a few weeks. I also don't see the similarities with Viva La Juicy. I owned that and it smelt terrible, probably from the caramel note. Siren smells nothing like Viva La Juicy.

So, as a lover of all things mermaids/sirens, I’ve been buying pretty much every mermaid inspired perfume that I find lately, if not to find the perfect “mermaid” scent, then to collect all these beautiful bottles. That said, I’ve found some winners, and for the price, this is definitely one of them! To me, this is a gorgeous balance of wood, vanilla, and tropical florals and fruits, and from first spray, this was a love. When I smell this, I feel like I’m on the beach! Not because it smells like the ocean, because it doesn’t. It smells more like soft sand and sun rays to me. Emphasis on the soft, as this is not a strong perfume at all. Do keep that in mind if you want to fill a room. Honestly, sometimes I don’t want to smell strong though, so the softness of this fragrance is a plus (for me). I don’t get the Viva La Juicy comparison at all. VLJ is so much more gourmand—to me, Siren just isn’t gourmand at all. It’s definitely sweet because of those fruits and the vanilla, but it doesn’t smell edible to me. Everyone’s nose is different, though, so maybe I’m the outlier here. All in all, if you are a fan of mermaids and you see this for a good price, I recommend picking this one up. It’s lovely, and I adore the bottle.

I am pleasantly surprised by this perfume! The bottle looked really cheap and Paris Hilton just screams cheap/unsophisticated...but the smell is quite beautiful!! I sampled it and walked around for awhile, waiting for the drydown. At first, it opened up with fruity florals that resembled Viva la Juicy, but the drydown was a very calm and creamy, unlike Juicy. Juicy dries into sugariness, but this scent is reminicent of a face cream my used to use when I was a child. Very comforting and warm. And I walked into a bakery after sampling the perfume, and the baker from back of the shop asked me what scent I was wearing! I was shocked that she could smell me from the distance over all the baked goods!! :) I highly recommend this perfume! OH, and I read a few comments saying it smells like puke... and I understand where you're coming from BECAUSE, the cap smells like puke!!!! LITERALLY!! It stinks! So if you smell it right out of the bottle, you'll get the pukey smell of the cap. I have no clue why this is... but those of you who have this perfume, sniff the cap and see if you got a stinker too! I threw mine out because I was so put off by it! The actual scent is far from puke, I assure you!!
