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 a wearer who likes their presence to feel bright but not obvious, as if a crisp, fruit-lit aura is moving just ahead of them. It works best in close company, where its rhubarb sparkle, rose haze and woody depth reveal themselves gradually rather than all at once.
How to wear
Best worn with a light hand in mild to cool weather, Sirio’s extrait concentration gives it notable presence, so one or two sprays are usually enough. On skin it opens crisp and luminous, then settles into a soft musky floral-wood trail that stays polished and persistent without becoming heavy.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to fruity-floral scents with a refined edge, especially if they like tart rhubarb, rose in a modern frame and a woody base that adds mystery. It will appeal to people who prefer niche compositions with symbolism, texture and a balance of brightness and depth.

The nose
Amélie Bourgeois is a French perfumer known for compositions that balance clarity with texture, often moving comfortably between airy florals, modern woods and more tactile, sensual materials. Her work tends to feel polished but not overworked, with a strong sense of structure and a gift for making unusual accords read as elegant rather than eccentric. For Sirio, Bourgeois shapes Mendittorosa’s celestial concept into a fruity-floral extrait with a luminous opening, a rose-centered heart and a woody, musky base. The result reflects her ability to give a fragrance both lift and depth, letting freshness and shadow coexist without losing cohesion.
Collaborators
Stefania Squeglia, the founder of Mendittorosa, personally conceived the fragrance’s symbolic journey from Earth to Sirius and worked closely on the creative vision, shaping the mythic, talismanic character of the scent. The house also presents its Talismans as a collaborative project with perfumers, artists and artisans, which informs Sirio’s handcrafted, highly designed identity.
Mendittorosa’s story
Mendittorosa treats perfume as symbolic art: intimate, handcrafted talismans built from natural materials, emotional narratives and Italian artisanal detail. The house favors genderless compositions with a spiritual, myth-driven sensibility, where scent is meant to protect, reveal and provoke reflection rather than simply decorate.
Sirio’s concept
Sirio belongs to Mendittorosa’s Talismans collection and is dedicated to Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. Stefania Squeglia frames it as a fragrant path from the earthly garden toward a mysterious paradise, with forbidden fruit, white musk, rose and precious woods turning the idea of a celestial journey into scent.
Extra info
Sirio is named for Sirius, the brightest star visible from Earth, and sits within Mendittorosa’s Talismans line. It is also offered in a pocket extrait format, reflecting the house’s idea of a perfume that can be carried as a personal talisman.
