27.1 Le Chant des Sirènes by Pierre Guillaume is a distinctive aquatic fragrance: tender, balmy, and unexpectedly layered. Inspired by the mythological sirens—creatures with the body of a bird and the face of a seductive woman—they embody the duality of human nature, caught between the physical and the spiritual. Said to have been born from Hera’s curse or Aphrodite’s wrath, sirens are known as dangerous seductresses. Their song is so enchanting that it draws men irresistibly toward their doom. This perfume explores the idea of that siren song: irresistible, alluring, and not without danger. It evokes a marine world that doesn’t roar but sings: subtle, mysterious, and deeply captivating.
This fragrance opens with an aromatic, fruity blend of rosewood leaf and the apple-citrus-pineapple nuances of starfruit. At its heart, a balmy warmth of almond wood and opopanax unfolds, giving way to a salty-woody base of sandalwood and sea fennel. This coastal plant infuses the creamy sandalwood with a vibrant tension and a hint of subtle animality.
