Sirène

Vicky Tiel · 1994

Floral · Green · Fruity

Vicky Tiel Sirène is a floral, sweet fragrance for women that leans towards evenings and the colder months of fall and winter; it has been discontinued. Jasmine, violet and geranium lead the floral side, while peach and orange soften it with fruity sweetness. Vanilla and woods pull the scent towards a powdery, lightly spicy, oriental feel, and a green accord keeps it from getting heavy. Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening or a night out. It reads feminine and classic. Chopard Cašmir and Guerlain Mahora have a close profile.

Eau de Parfum

Vicky Tiel / Originalé Eau de Parfum is a sweet, spicy floral with a chypre and oriental character, made for women and now discontinued. It opens with mandarin orange, lemon zest and bergamot for a citrus lift, while reseda adds a faint floral edge. In the heart, orange blossom, jasmine and narcissus lead, with lily of the valley softening them. The base turns sweet and creamy through vanilla and musk, with sandalwood adding wood and oakmoss anchoring the chypre side. Tuberose and heliotrope carry the floral thread into the base, while the animal and leathery accents stay in the background.
