Sirio is dedicated to the brightest star (Sirius) and an invitation (or a fragrant reminder) to look up at the stars and ponder over the question of where we came from and where are we going and also that us and our destinies are truly part of an infinite universe.
The brightest star in our sky has always been the focus of esoteric studies and those searching for answers to eternal questions.
Sirio is the secret destination of an enchanted path.
The perfume composition evokes a journey from Earth to the mysterious paradise with the ambrosial booziness of forbidden fruits in the opening. White musks shroud the fantasy fruit, floral attars (Centifolia rose), rich precious gaiac and oud in haze and give their aromas wings of an angel and stellar sparkle.
Perfumer: Amélie Bourgeois
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Sirio suits an evening when conversation slows and the distance between people narrows. Tart rhubarb gives its plush fruit and rose an alert edge, while musk and dark woods suggest a soft fabric worn against the skin: sensuous, but not entirely sweet.
How to wear
Cool or mild weather is a sensible starting point for this fruit-rich, woody extrait. Begin with one or two sprays on the torso or a pulse point, allowing the musky floral layers to settle before adding more. In warmer conditions, apply lightly so the vanilla and woods do not crowd the tart opening.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to lush floral-woody perfumes with a tart counterpoint rather than straightforward sweetness. Sirio will appeal to lovers of rose, musky fruit and oud who prefer these elements woven together, with vanilla softening the darker woods.

The nose
Amélie Bourgeois is a co-founder of the independent Parisian perfume studio Flair. Her work often explores contrasts between familiar materials and unexpected textures, with a strong affinity for expressive niche compositions. For Sirio, she translates a celestial brief into tart fruit, plush flowers, white musk and richly layered woods.
Collaborators
Stefania Squeglia shaped Sirio’s concept and creative design, providing the symbolic framework of Sirius, forbidden fruit and a celestial paradise that Amélie Bourgeois interpreted in scent.
Mendittorosa’s story
Mendittorosa treats perfume as an independent artwork, shaped by a specific creative vision rather than fragrance trends. Its collaborations with perfumers, Italian artists and artisans extend that vision into sculptural presentation. The Talismans collection frames scent as an intimate symbolic object, akin to a personal amulet.
Sirio’s concept
Named for Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, Sirio connects questions of origin and destiny with the imagery of Eden. Its imagined journey from Earth to a celestial paradise becomes an olfactory progression: forbidden-fruit richness, flowers softened by white musk, and a grounding base of precious woods.
Extra info
Sirio entered the collection as the fifth Talisman. Its glittering, star-fragment-like cap was created by Tuscan sculptor Alessandro Reggioli, and its presentation includes a passage about Sirius from Alfred Lord Tennyson’s The Princess. The fragrance ingredients are identified as vegan, but the complete packaging is not, because it includes silk.
