Bright cherry over incense, moss and resin
Sirène is a fruity gourmand Parfum, the first the house composed with a woman in mind. Nanako Ogi opens it on cherry and pink pepper, then sets oud, incense and a milky lactonic note underneath. The finish is dry and resinous: moss, benzoin, cistus, labdanum and cypriol. The brand tells it as a story of standing out.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all...
The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Cherry leads, and the brand calls the opening bright. Pink pepper adds a dry, faintly sharp edge, so the fruit reads ripe and a little spiced rather than sweet and sticky. It is a lively start that the heart soon darkens and slows down.
Oud and incense give the middle its dark, dry warmth, while the lactonic note adds a soft, milky layer. The two pull in different directions, which keeps the cherry from staying on the surface. The fruit is still there, now held between resin and cream.
Moss, benzoin, cistus, labdanum and cypriol make the base earthy, balsamic and slightly sweet, with a woody, smoky edge from the cypriol. The dry-down is resinous rather than sugary. Being a Parfum, it sits close to the skin and recedes gradually.
Wearing it
Apply it sparingly to the pulse points; the resinous base builds on skin, so one or two spots are enough for a Parfum. It suits cool evenings, dinners and occasions that call for presence. The cherry keeps it light enough for daytime in autumn and winter too.
For anyone who likes gourmand and fruity perfumes but wants resin and wood behind the sweetness. The house made it with a woman in mind and tells it around empowerment, so it suits people who prefer an expressive scent to a quiet skin scent.
Sirène, launched in 2024, was composed by Nanako Ogi, one of the master perfumers the brand works with. Cherry beside incense and oud is an unusual pairing, and the faceted bottle with its crystal-studded cap and pink label is part of the idea.
Questions
A fruity gourmand with a dry, resinous finish. Cherry sets the tone, incense and oud add depth, and moss and labdanum close it.
It is a Parfum in a 75 ml bottle, the only size the brand makes. A Parfum is a concentrated format, so a small amount goes a long way.
It comes in a gift box, and the faceted bottle with its crystal-studded cap looks the part. It suits someone who enjoys fruity or gourmand scents with some depth.
The house
Fragrance Du Bois is a Paris house with the motto ‘Born in Nature, Crafted in France’. Its perfumes are composed in Paris and produced in Grasse, each with a different master perfumer, and the style rests on natural materials, above all oud the brand calls responsibly sourced.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
