Sirio

The brightest star leads not to cold space, but to forbidden fruit, musk, and dark wood. MENDITTOROSA Sirio is an extract about the journey from Eden to Sirius, with rhubarb as a sharp initial thrust.

Rhubarb, apple, and plum provide tart, juicy, and slightly intoxicating fruit. White musk doesn't wait for the base but appears early, giving the entire opening a fuller, more carnal face.

Amélie Bourgeois finds inspiration in Sirius, a star that has attracted esoteric questions about origin and destination for centuries. Alfred Lord Tennyson's verse about fiery Sirius changing red and emerald sets the tone for this ascent.

Rose and peony soften the fruit, while guaiac, cashmeran, and oud build a protective woody-gourmand base. Vanilla connects plum and wood, but the tartness of rhubarb remains as a bright path.

On the skin, the forbidden fruit gradually transforms into a warm, slightly animalic woodiness. If you're looking for a pure fruity scent or an airy floral extract, oud and cashmeran might be too gravitational for you.

Sirio ends as plum and rhubarb under starlight, laid upon guaiac and oud — a sweet earthly core that still constantly draws the gaze upwards.
