Siracusa: An Italian Ode to Summertime Citrus
The perfume is a fragrant celebration of summer, capturing the essence of a Mediterranean sea-escape. From the moment it opens on the skin, this perfume tells a vivid story of sun-drenched days, hot sunlight, the whiz of cicadas hiding on the pine trees, and the soothing evenings. It literally takes you there.

Heart Notes: Tiare flower, creamy notes
Base Notes: vanilla, solar notes, sandalwood, white musk
Top Notes: A Sunrise Over Tropical Waters
The fragrance's opening is an invigorating burst of brightness, akin to the first light of dawn on the surface of the Mediterranean Sea. A sharp green vibe from the palm leaf note provides a counterbalance to the cheerful citrus blossom and almond, preventing the composition from veering into overly sweet territory. The almond note, though fleeting, adds a fluffy warmth that soothes the initial scent.
As the scent develops on the skin, a comforting marine air reminiscent of salty breeze wafting through open windows, lingers in the background, promising an ozonic and solar touch that is both bracing and exhilarating.
Heart Notes: A Tropical Floral Symphony
As Siracusa transitions into its heart, the scent becomes smoother and more floral. The lemon blossom note takes center stage, lending a delicate sweetness to the composition, while the tiare flower, well-known for its exquisite creamy jasmine-like aroma, introduces a lush, tropical character. The final touch of marine notes polish this floral symphony and let it shine.
This phase evokes the image of a sunlit beach, where golden rays blend with the scent of fragrant blooms and rich body creams and the reflection of sunlight on the sea gilds the entire landscape. The warmth of the citrus persists, now softened and radiant, evoking a sense of serenity.
Base Notes: The Final Aura
In its final evolution, Siracusa reveals its most indulgent facets. Vanilla and creamy notes create an impression of a light, airy dessert—perhaps a delicate confection enjoyed under the shade of palm trees. The composition is grounded by velvety sandalwood and white musk, depicting a soft, comforting texture.
This stage of the fragrance is a nostalgic echo of joyful summer memories in sepia color. It captures the essence of warm skin kissed by the sun and the lingering sweetness of sun oil. Even as the more vibrant notes fade, the musk and faint traces of vanilla ensure a lasting impression of elegance and warmth.
Performance and Versatility
Siracusa is a winner in both longevity and projection. With an impressive wear time of approximately eight hours on the skin, the fragrance maintains its presence throughout the day. Its projection strikes a balanced chord, radiating to about a handshake distance, making it noticeable yet never overpowering.
Although designed with a summer theme in mind, Siracusa’s versatility allows it to cover the other seasons. While it shines brightest on sunlit summer days, its cheerful and evocative nature makes it equally suitable for spring and autumn.
A Fragrance That Transcends Time and Place
Siracusa is more than a fragrance; it is an experience—a journey to lush tropical landscapes. It encapsulates the carefree joy of summer while maintaining an air of timeless sophistication. With its expertly balanced notes and refined presentation, it offers a sensory escape that is as luxurious as it is wearable.
