Sirène.

Sirène marks Fragrance Du Bois’s first perfume aimed explicitly at women, borrowing the mythic allure of a siren’s call. Nanako Ogi translated that concept into a scent that opens with bright cherry, a nod to seductive sweetness, while pink pepper adds a daring spark. Launched in 2024, the fragrance sits within the brand’s sustainable‑oud ethos, pairing ethically sourced wood with vivid fruit to create a modern, magnetic portrait of confidence.

The cherry‑pepper opening is a crisp, almost confectionery burst that instantly grabs attention, then yields to a heart of resinous oud, incense and creamy lactone, a rare trio that balances animalic depth with a soft, milky glow. The base anchors the composition with cypriol’s green‑earth bite, moss’s forest‑floor whisper, benzoin’s warm amber, labdanum’s leathery richness, and cistus’s subtle spice, turning the scent into a layered narrative of temptation and resolve.

The first thirty seconds explode with cherry‑laden sweetness, the pink pepper’s bite cutting through like a flirtatious whisper. As the top fades, the heart emerges: oud unfurls with a smoky, incense‑kissed intensity, while lactone adds an unexpected creamy veil that softens the wood’s edge. By the two‑hour mark the base settles, letting cypriol’s aromatic earthiness mingle with moss’s damp forest floor, while benzoin and labdanum lay a warm amber cushion and cistus injects a faint spice. The drydown lingers on skin for eight to ten hours, projecting a confident, magnetic aura that fades only into a subtle, lingering whisper of wood and amber.

Since its 2024 debut, Sirène has been celebrated as the house’s first female‑focused scent, often cited in niche forums as the go‑to choice for women who want a bold oud that commands attention without sacrificing elegance. Its launch sparked discussions about gender‑neutral marketing in niche perfumery, and it quickly became a reference point for sustainable oud sourcing, influencing subsequent releases across the industry.
