Sirio is a 2018 release from niche artisanal perfume house Mendittorosa, a house dedicated to natural materials, cruelty free compositions, and the pursuit of originality and perfumery as artwork. Composed by perfumer Amelie Bourgeois, this fragrance is a part of the Talismans Collection: "Talismans protect us and grant us power; they are private prayers we hold close and whisper to in the dark. We wash them in tears. In times of shadow and ash they remind us we are safe and loved, guided and sacred." Sirio has a scent profile of fruity, rose, fresh, floral, woody, green, musky, powdery, sweet, and amber.
From Mendittorosa:
"Where do we come from?
Where are we going?
What if Sirius has the answer.
The brightest star in the known Universe has always been the focus of esoteric studies and those searching for answers to eternal questions.
Sirius is the secret destination of an enchanted path. Another strength of gravity. Ascending from the Garden of Eden to the Stars above.
Sirio evokes a journey from Earth to this mysterious paradise with the ambrosial booziness of forbidden fruits. The unexpected addition of White Musk in the head notes makes the perfume feel more full-bodied while a protective woody-gourmand base prolongs the mysterious carnal essence of Sirio."
"'And as the fiery Sirius alters hue,
And bickers into red and emerald…'
From 'The Princess'
by Alfred Lord Tennyson"
