Named after Ligea, one of the three sirens who tried in vain to bewitch and seduce Ulysses, this fragrance is sensual, warm and intoxicating with a gentle powderyness. The passionate depth of the warm Oppanox with the fresh and tender juiciness of Mandarin ensure Ligea Le Sirena is as decisive, seductive and (almost) irresistible as the mythical and beautiful sirens of the sea. The robust and spicy blend of notes in Ligea contrast perfectly the soft and powdery tones to create a classic, otherworldly fragrance to hypnotise all that come across its path.

HOW IT WEARS
Ligea la Sirena is an Eau de Parfum that should give the wearer anywhere from 6 – 8 hours longevity on the skin. The combined opening of citrus and florals (most prominently carnation and tobacco flower) are the more obvious notes here, giving this essentially woody aromatic a floral creaminess as it dries down and settles into a warm, resinous bed of soft spice, patchouli, incense & amber. A much softer powdery end to it’s rich, floral opening.
LORE LOVES
Inspired by the name of a mermaid siren who attempted to lure Ulysses to his ultimate demise, we can’t help but adore the way Ligea embodies this theme, almost threatening anyone intoxicated by it’s allure to follow the trail it leaves against their wisdom to know better. A dreamy, sensual, romantic, epic of a floral. Mythic.
